12:12 AM rue_mohr: aandrew, somehow I suspect you, along with lots of others, abandoned social media when twitter came unwound
04:42 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
06:30 PM aandrew: rue_mohr: I post very very little these days
06:33 PM rue_mohr: all the good people hide
06:36 PM aandrew: not even that, I just am kind of busy lately and when I'm on twitter it's because I want to be brainless for the most part
06:36 PM aandrew: and I'm still kind of struggling to find my place on mastodon
06:39 PM aandrew: been playing with mbin too (mbin.mixdown.ca) which is kind of both lemmy and mastodon together, I like how it's got both in one place and the interface is pretty nice
06:45 PM aandrew: I have to patch mbin so that "local" microblog posts don't get federated. I want to use that as my "mental dbus" which is what I was using gnu-social for before
07:20 PM rifraf: whats a good solvent to add to water for ultrasonic cleaning? tried dishwashing liquid, now trying some degreaser
09:46 PM rue_mohr: not sure
09:46 PM rue_mohr: what you trying to clean off?
10:11 PM rifraf: polishing compound before glueing in balls
10:12 PM rifraf: the degreaser was too harsh, or 8 minutes was too long, took off all the polished surface
10:12 PM rue_mohr: cringe
10:12 PM rifraf: the dishwashing liquid was better with 5 minutes
10:13 PM rifraf: yep wrecked mirror finish on aluminium, i thought i might if in there too long
