  • i have a different theory on some of these specific businesses.

    • Bankrupt
      • Tax write off
      • Drop “contrwct” employees who pay for their own vehicle
      • Sell debt on leased trailers for dimes on the dollar
      • No true consequence for business owner
    • Gas price go down
      • New business
      • Rehire contract workers
      • New loans for depreciated trailers
      • Bankruptcy more profitable than operation

    Edit: Digging deeper into source links of source links, all the big players with multiple trailers and big contracts like Amazon are Chapter 11 (reorganized), so yea, my theory holds.





  • Hah, you can watch my site: https://nowsci.com/ as I put everything there.

    I’m very nearly at daily usable by everyone, including my partner who has a very different accent to mine. A lot of it was tuning sentences/words to catch poor STT to skip going to an LLM to speed things up and make it reliable. Here’s the current hardware in action:

    @[email protected] yes, Ive tried a lot of LLMs and have settled on Gemma 4 2b with a very specific prompt and local MCP tools for unit conversions, weather, lookups, etc.

    For Q&A, my current build uses an MCP container I made to do a SearXNG search and top result retrieval for context (I use a trick to weight Wikipedia results). The final step I haven’t completed is for this to be a backup to Kiwix, for which I also haven’t found a great search tool/index/MCP, so if you want to collab on that I’d be interested. One less thing for me to build myself ;)








  • Yea, a 3-point jig would work. I.E. make a right triangle with three holes the right distance apart.

    Place it over the wood and drill through the first two holes holding it steady and square.

    From there it gets easy, just put pegs in two of the holes of the jig, pushed through into the two holes you drilled in the board behind it. Now the jig doesnt move and you can drill the third hole. Rotate and spin from there to do all the rest.

    A total pain for sure, though 😀




  • Loved my Voron v0.2 build, so much fun and got lucky without many problems. The display kept screwing it up, so disconnected it and it’s been happy since. Which Voron? At that price for pegboard, printing some multi board might be cheaper! I considered doing that since I have a big boy printer, too, but decided to stick with the pegboard.
