Yeahhhhhh, I used to recommend his channel to young engineers and techs because of how thorough he was at explaining the how and why of mechanisms. I don’t anymore which is a shame because he was knowledgeable.

The pikes peak international hillclimb is on the 23rd.

I’m sorry for your loss.

The fast food chain Dairy Queen is different than those branded “DQ”. It is not a real Dairy Queen unless it is written out fully and does not use the DQ logo on the store. I will not elaborate further nor eat at DQ. There are still a few real stores in really small towns.

The boss from Saints Row

Yeah, I ugly cried for a good 30 minutes from the end of The Good Place. It was excellent but it hit me really hard.

We did formal typing classes in school starting from primary school up to middle school but that was not what made me a proficient typist. I got comfortable with a keyboard and more proper typing by actually doing it.

Some of that is on me for being a little shit in school, some of it is because the classes were shit. My point was that typing is a skill and there is more than one way to learn it and that a generation shouldn’t be judged from a snapshot at a relatively young age.

That said, a relatively large number of the younger engineers I work with ARE missing critical basic tech/mechanical/problem solving skills so I do recognize that there seems to be a generational difference in some areas. I didn’t get to work with a young engineer from a previous generation when they were a young engineer though so I can’t say that for sure.

I was born im 1990, grew up on desktop computers, and did the hunt and peck thing until I actively began using my keyboard for research papers, essays, etc. It is a skill that I picked up on with use, not from instruction.

Yeahhhhhh luthier-ing is a rabbit hole all its own… I am about to start on build 3, from a tree in my yard.

You should read the John Dies at the End series

Does it cook the same as regular cream?

Many, many more, as long as they are even ocassionally successful.

Excellent point. I keep meaning to try a permadeath run but its hard with a 2 year old running around to find the time for something like that.

No Man’s Sky is a good mix of nice scenery, low stress, and engaging without requiring a lot of mental capacity that can be comforting.

Win 10, explicitly because I run CAD software (Autodesk Inventor specifically at home) and the linux compatibility workarounds like wine have not worked properly the last few times I have tried them. I could dual boot but I just don’t feel like putting the time in to set it up and use it anymore.

Same, Jeroba feels sync-esque to me.

Newer versions of office allow for “sharing” the excel sheet via a link but I don’t know if they allow track changes to be on/visible for the “live” edits.

I can’t comment on if they do or not as I exclusively use(d) Syncpro, but there are still loads of “real” posts that are blatant marketing attempts that get posted.
