Every Pen I Stole at Modex 2026
I recently returned from Modex 2026, the supply chain and logistics trade show in Atlanta. In addition to being able to visit the booths and exhibitions of various companies, I also had the pleasure of partaking in the age-old tradition of getting tons of free stuff. I made it my mission to steal I mean…

Does 0.9999… = 1 make sense in respect to other base numerical systems?
The other day I was thinking about how 0.99999 repeating is equivalent to the number 1. Which suddenly got me wondering, how can this actually be true? 0.999… is only a representation of the closest we can get to the integer one using the symbols available to us in base ten (decimal counting system). Because…

3D Printing Enthusiasts Kinda Remind Me of AI Enthusiasts
3D printing as a hobby has become more popular in recent years as the technology becomes more accessible to average people. But at the same time I’m realizing it’s kinda being overhyped the same way AI is being overhyped. Frequently on social media I’ll see people make short form video of 3D printed stuff and…

However, the attack and defense stats are split between physical and special. The attacks…

Breakdown of LEGO’s 3D printed pieces
With the annoucement of the 10361 Holiday Express Train came a lot of hullabaloo surrounding the new toy train element. Notably because it would be the first commercially sold 3D printed LEGO piece to be available to the market. I know a thing or two about 3D printing so I wanted to talk about it…

The Gang Watches Nezha 2
Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West (Or should I say queen?) shows up in Nezha 2 and receives the Purah-from-Tears-of-the-Kingdom treatment. So I decided to draw a funny little comic of what it would be like if the pilgrimage crew went to go see the movie. For context, in the XYJ lore, the…

How to paste plain text with ctrl+shift+v in Microsoft PowerPoint
So a lot of modern text boxes that support formatting have two paste shortcuts, with the default ctrl+v being paste with formatting and ctrl+shift+v pasting with plaintext (no color, formatting, font matches destination rather than origin). However Microsoft Office PowerPoint is dumb and stupid (at least my version is, which is on version 2403). There…

The Hunt for LEGO Classic Space Astronauts
I’ve recently finally gotten around to collecting the LEGO classic Spaceman minifigures, also known as classic space astronauts. They’re very iconic and endearing, something I think the LEGO Group has caught onto. Hence why in recent years they’ve been steadily releasing the minifigures in more color variants. But a lot of them aren’t as straight forward to…
