FRANkenstein. Get it? GET it?
Removing the lenses from old google cardboards to reuse as robot eyes.
Just call me Frankenstein.
I miss being able to turn off boosts (RTs) for specific individuals. Does that actually exist and I'm just not seeing it?
Confession: I thought "asics" were actually called "basics" until quite recently. I thought the "a" logo was a stylised backwards "b". #toocoolforschool
Current status: reading about tongue-twisters and brains.
Robot persevered, however. Now it walks!

Step 3, got a body and arms. Even a robot belly button. https://toot.cafe/media/r1wsBRiSl690m0XeGHk
Well, the innards, anyway.
Step 2, robot body assembled. https://toot.cafe/media/Aw24ZJa7UPzFUpJffHk
Not only have I sliced open a finger, but I'm now also covered in glue. https://toot.cafe/media/NqDp-b6EglviFNVjdxY

I'm building my robot based on some Japanese instructions, Google translated.
Favourite instruction, re: adding some screws to the neck box: "Tighten the tapping screw too much and you may lick it, so be careful."
Started build of my Japanese kit robot. 3 seconds in, and I've already sliced my finger with a craft knife.
Well, it took roughly seconds to get my first "well, actually" response. Don't go changing, internet.
I accidentally didn't feed my fish for 3 weeks because his fancy came-all-the-way-from-Germany auto feeder failed, but he seems OK. Poor Hammy. :( 🐠♥️
Yes, this is also the phae on mastodon.cloud
But, like, I actually know who owns this instance.
