I feel called out on some shit, but you aren’t wrong. I don’t like Biden, but I still will vote for him again in November.

I take offense to some of that, but I applied to be an admin back in Q3 of last year. After the video interview I got ghosted. Thought I would give this a shot, had another video interview, and yeah I’m not expecting much. So yeah, I’m not even sure the process actually does anything other than waste time.

I do have a very well paying job, family, but you may have called me out on the “no life” thing… Though I do have a car that’s become a bit of a project so I don’t waste as much time on “IT” shit.

Also, what exactly are “Biden people?” Are there actually people that are like, hard-core Biden supporters?

The worst piece of tech that I have ever owned in my life is a CD Cleaner I bought from GameStop back in the day. That shit was straight up a sacrificial altar. It never cleaned. Only consumed.

Oh shit, I remember those. They “cleaned” by using an abrasive spray to “polish” the CDs. Those things were straight-up evil.

The number of young men getting vasectomies also shot up, but men still get sterilized much less often than women.

I got mine in September. I’d kicked the can down the road for years but finally pulled the trigger largely because of Roe being overturned.

I vote for Musk.

Yeah, it’s over: https://apnews.com/article/bolivia-military-deployment-arce-coup-fears-028cd88f3be1fb02164c05deb0faa099

Makes me think of the skydiving scene in Deadpool 2 where pretty much the entire team dies and Wade asks who could have seen that coming? I think it was Domino that responds with everyone, everyone saw that coming.

It is being used in some places actually:

It’s actually a really cool concept honestly. I do this on a very tiny scale at home. I run a small server cluster largely as a playground but also for things like Plex and Vaultwarden. The waste heat from that is pushed out the back of the rack and a heat pump water heater a few feet away uses that to help heat water.

As you said, seems like there are many opportunities to do this on a much lager scale.

Wait what? How is that WAY more expensive than say beer which also has an extra tax?

huh, non-corrupt judges? In this timeline that seems wrong…

Oh cool, good to know we were told we were safe in Columbus. I’ll look forward to my $3 check when I get cancer 10 years from now. Fuck these corporations.

So, how long before we get a man-baby tantrum from the orange turd on his safe-space social media platform?

This is the way.

Yep, tried those too. I do appreciate the suggestion though, truly. It’s just not something I’m cut out for it would seem. I really do need to look at selling my printers and getting out of the hobby. It was fun for a while, now it’s just a chore. Which is probably why I haven’t done it in 2+ years, lol.

This is my retirement plan (I hope). I’d love to do it sooner even if the wife and I both end up with remote jobs. I’d love to just travel all over then US then find a spot to plop down for like a month and explore. After we are done move on to another spot.

Yeah I went through his channel too but something about it just doesn’t seem compatible with my brain, lol. Like I said, I really should just sell my printers. They haven’t been used in 2+ years and are just sitting here taking up space and collecting dust.

This was the second half of my problem honestly, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to 3d model stuff. I’ve gone through tutorial after tutorial so clearly it’s me.

I actually have stuff I’d like to print but I’m not competent enough to model it. I’m the n00b just printing stuff I can download from the internet. Or was I suppose…

I went a little crazy on 3d printing during covid. I had a single printer prior but purchased two more. I haven’t printed on ANY of them in like 2 years. I end up just printing stupid shit or because I go so long between printing wasting way too much time to get everything dialed back in. Now I don’t even know what my slicing settings were and I would have to probably start from scratch. I should probably just sell my printers…
