I hate how my brain automatically read it in Attenboroughs voice. I guess there's a little Attenborough in all of us.
I love how my brain automatically read it in his voice.
I also do this for myself and my friends out loud from time to time.
A fun little Attenborough fact: David Attenborough went to Clare college, and as such the college had a little bronze bust of him next to the buttery (cafeteria). The nose ended up very shiny, as it was considered good luck before exams to rub David’s nose.
I was assembling a new 3D printer this weekend and seriously underestimated the size. I started building it on top of my table saw outfeed workbench thinking it would be a perfectworking height, and by the end was stacking 2x4s to have a place to stand so I could screw in the top of the enclosure. I discovered that I really should have a small stepstool in the garage, because right now my options are stacking wood or using an 8' stepladder.
Printer is a Sovol SV08 Max BTW. It's fucking massive and I'm gonna love it once I tear down and rebuild a workbench to accommodate it.
I narrated a little segment about the intelligence of crows to myself as I used a stick of vanilla beans to reach the cocoa yesterday.
This is my wife. She's 5' 1" and is often knocking items on to her head from the top shelf of supermarkets.
