I just started a new job. A mix of JS, WASM (C++) and Python. It's been a blessing to help understand and explain an unfamiliar codebase to me. Sometimes the analysis isn't deep enough but I've been able to create…
I bought a Creality Ender 3 V2 a little over a year ago, spent 6 months printing things and fiddling with it and finally had it with how primitive it is. If you have the time and patience for tinkering, the Voron is…
You can't imagine how empowering it is to be able to say "No." to food. I stopped eating dessert except once a week. I can be in the company of other people and surrounded by delicious food and not feel the compulsion…
I've been on tirzepatide (Mounjaro) for 4 months now. I'm down 13% of my body weight. I realized that frequent cannabis consumption interferes with the weight loss, so I've kicked the habit from daily to occasionally on…
58843787 Managed to remember it along with my password from 20+ years ago and it allowed me to login! Really amazing actually it's been around this long.
I've been playing Fortnite almost every night for 5+ years because it is more interesting than doomscrolling on my phone!
I think I remember seeing calls for pieces of this on the SomethingAwful forums back in the day, it was a collaborative art piece. There was a template with specific frames where the ball enters and leaves each square…
Before using a password manager (1Password), I often reused passwords out of convenience in order to not have to remember a lot of them. After switching to a password manager, every password is a strong randomly…
Why can't they just build tracks and have trains running through this network of tunnels?
Excellent. Another compromised supreme court justice to get rid of. Lets get rid of her and Thomas, and put in 2 new younger justices, preferably now.
I lost so much time to the various munchers games.

I've soured on Musk, but I still love driving my Tesla. I enjoy it enough that I find excuses to take it on night time trips with no destination in mind, driving for the sake of driving. I've only had it for 4 months,…
I didn't particulary find RimWorld to be very fun, but I did end up enjoying Oxygen Not Included, which is a side-scrolling 2d colony management sim that's a bit less serious and way more quirky.
At least with FSD you have the option of paying once for the entire feature (currently 15k) or paying a subscription ($200/mo or $100/mo if you paid once for enhanced autopilot feature (currently $6k). And it's an…
Best laptop I ever owned was a maxed out Dell XPS M1530 (2008-2013). Wonderful hinge design, WUXGA screen, that thing was a workhorse. Unfortunately it died due to issues with the nvidia gpu warping off the solder…
My current career (VDI/DaaS stuff) depends on Windows Server still being a thing. Maybe I should switch to make it depend on Linux instead?
Building the little probe used to read the x360 dvd drive key out of discrete components with zero knowledge of electronics was probably one of the most fun technical things I did in my early 20's. It was a logic level…
Bought a refurb Dyson cordless V7 on a whim - Didn't want to spend full price because this is the first cordless bagless vac I've owned and I wanted to test the waters. It's been going strong 2+ years, total game…
I actually got a 10% raise which management was all to happy to say was the best thing they had ever done for a single person. The problem is 10% is nothing if your base pay to begin with was 50% below market rate.
I left a job a few years ago and put the entire management on blast because they could not fathom the singular reason for leaving was poor compensation. A few months later some former coworkers told me that everyone in…

I got my start programming because I was interested in writing plugins for the Decal framework.
