I once tried a Pelaton at the mall and wasn’t super impressed with it, especially after they told me about the price tag and the monthly fee. Like why would I pay for that when I could buy a similar bike and use my own tablet and access anything I want for free?

I was expecting this to turn around at the end of the tweet! 😅 I have to say I agree wholeheartedly

I want to be able to put on a VR headset and ride a bike around virtual Tokyo.

Look, I've got it somewhat going. It still needs a lot of tweaking, both back-end and front-end (it looks horrible). But it works!

That's awesome! Great progress!

Even if you’re fully vaccinated the CDC still recommends dismantling white supremacy within you and around you.

We just spent the last 3 months on recipe development, and reengineering our kits to allow them to be shipped safely. If you've never had an actually good non-alcoholic cocktail before, I urge you to consider buying a kit on Thursday. These drinks are absolutely phenomenal.

Monday around 1pm Pacific I’ll go live while editing. I think this will work; sharing my 6K retina screen over a 4K stream so you should be able to see perfect detail. Potentially there will be commentary from the peanut gallery. Sub now so you don’t miss

The old school machinist in me feels a little bit of joy every time I add a feature to a resin-printable design that would be impossible to produce on a mill or lathe.

I'm gonna have to experiment with resin printing next. So far I've been learning the limits of FDM

Wow its crazy how much your taste for color grading changes over time.

Heres a sample with 6 months difference between the two.

Someone needs to tell me how to effectively get the table in the shot like that. How close is the camera to the surface of the desk? Are you looking down at the camera in these?

What have I missed? I'm guessing it's likely a bunch of 'long tail use cases' e.g. turning off water main for a broken pipe.

I'm not against smart homes! Just saying we need to drill down a bit and find better, more pragmatic use cases.

Probably my favorite "smart home" feature is the bed is tied into the whole system so the lights come on and off contextually. It sounds simple but it's so nice. I talk more about it here https://aaronparecki.com/2019/11/07/1/home-automation

I’ve felt fine for almost hours and within the past hour I started feeling really lousy. Feel like everything in my head is swelling. Throat, sinuses, muscles around my head. Weird pressure behind my eyes, dizziness. Just came out of nowhere. I thought I was in the clear. Oh well. Worth it.

For me it ended just as suddenly as it began! Just take it easy and don’t plan on getting much done for the next 24 hours. Totally worth it.

Looks like a “true simmer” is actually lower in temperature. What I’ve been calling a kind of simmer for years is really a kind of low boil.

I think this old physics major has become the punchline of the “imagine a spherical cow” joke .

My main argument is that you can't cook the pasta faster even if the water is boiling harder, because water can't get hotter than boiling.
