Hi Sudoers,
first of all, happy holidays!!
I've been at the space two or three times but I'm still pretty new here...
I was wondering, what's the state of the big red laser cutter?
I'm working on a project for which I need to cut 5 mm plywood sheets with
some rather intricate patterns.
I've used a rather similar laser at the UC Berkeley before.
Anything I should know before using it?
If it's operational, is there anyone around who could give me a quick
walk-through at some point?
If it's not operational, I'd be happy to help to get it up and running ...
Cheers,
Michael

Anybody down to have a cleaning party sometime in Mid-January, on a
Saturday evening. It would be great cool to clean and party together. We
could accomplish such things collaborating, continue getting rid of unused
stuff and material, mount the nessasary tools to the benches, organize
benches, finish building furniture, etc.

So this is what happened: In the late winter/early spring of 2017, Psi
Vesely was angry because I wanted to sleep instead of have sex. After
saying no at least three times, I fell asleep, then woke up from REM sleep
because I could not breathe, and discovered that I could not breathe
because Psi had their hands wrapped around my neck.
For a while, they claimed not to remember, then I got an apology. Very
recently, however (winter 2019) they claimed to remember me being awake
during the incident. They claimed not to remember me saying "no," or "I am
falling asleep now," but they do have some recollection of thinking that
choking me "might turn [me] on again." Calling them in by myself has not
been working (they get angry, gaslight, and act insulted), and at this
point it causes me a considerable amount of anxiety. They claim I am the
only person this has happened with, but I am not sure at this point that I
believe that, for reasons beyond just this one conversation. At least for a
little while, I would prefer not to see them at the omni, and am also
calling on other community members who know and care about Psi to maybe put
in some (hopefully) more effective emotional labor if they feel so
inclined. I have known them a long time, and it has been complicated. I
hope they will listen to someone other that me.

This is a tiny house project that I designed and completed in Nov 2019 to
provide housing for a homeless couple in Marin. This stationary tiny house
measures 12 x 10 feet and is 15 feet tall. It features a large loft, a deck
built from reclaimed redwood and foam panel insulation. Total cost to build
was $3500 for materials with labor donated by my non-profit. The design
follows guidelines for tiny house construction from AB 2176 - housing
crisis emergency shelter, where the primary use is for personal space with
facilities for cooking and personal hygiene located elsewhere on site.
To deal with regulations concerning zoning, building and safety, and local
objections relating to affordable housing, this tiny house is located on a
"sanctuary site" which is a parcel of land that has been dedicated in
perpetuity for conservation and sanctuary purposes. Federal RLUIPA laws
apply that supersede local regulations and objections from neighbors. As
far as I know, RLUIPA is the strongest defense against inhumane housing
regulations that are the primary cause of the housing crisis. RLUIPA has
been applied successfully to construct tiny house villages over the
objections of neighbors and local planning authorities.
My non-profit is planning to construct more tiny houses at our sanctuary
site in Marin as well as other sites in California. The design will be
updated to facilitate mass production of tiny houses through the use of
components fabricated with a CNC router. I am currently working on the next
version of the design that includes components from the wikihouse project
that will enable rapid assembly while minimizing cost and waste material.
