The fact of it being in a bank account is part of my "speed to money" habit which came from my post depression era grandfather. It starts with that adage about "Always have 6 months of your expenses readily available in case of emergency", which for me I've always seen as something like...

Only big purchase would be the potential of "buying land away from town to build the forever house on" and that's a far larger scale than what's left. It's also probably something I'd cash out my outsized bucket of stock in my current company to do. But I am also in my mid 50's so looking at...

When I had around a nice car left, I meant in the principal, and if $50k is what it takes to get a nice car now, then it's less than a nice car left.... Around $36k

My daily driver is a full sized corsair mechanical with round keycaps on it.

Yeah, exactly how is the slicer or the printer going to know that the random plastic object it's fabricating is part of a gun? I mean, you might do something where the slicer sends it to an AI to identify, but then just make sure the slicer/printer don't have internet connections and you're golden.

I have mostly generic rounds. With a few "year of the <whatever>" rounds throw in for variety. A solid silver coin makes a treat card cover when playing poker.

RE: The bills every winning it all :

You sir, obviously work for the genius titans of capitalism that walk the Earth! Godspeed....

So today I find myself pondering something involving Chez Haus. We have a pretty tiny scrap left on a ~3% interest mortgage (To the tune of less than a decent new car amount of money). I have kept to my logic that the money I can deploy is making more than the mortgage rate so it doesn't make...

I wonder if they think they're going to do this with the highly vaunted "AI^2" architecture.... Artificial Intelligence * Another Indian (probably in India, maybe an H1b)

Oh, I wouldn't run the photon in my office either. Just that a lot of people talk about needing some super industrial vent system, but so long as you have some kind of air exhaust to pull air out of the room you should, IMHO, be fine. They make some now I have seen with activated carbon HEPA...

OK, from the reality of me having both a resin printer (OG Photon), and FDM (Currently Ender5 Pro). And doing a lot of printing over time for 28mm tabletop gaming. I print scenery, larger mobs, and such on the FDM and can get good enough with the Ender for that (Usually leveraging tree...

Embrace the one true keyboard... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_F_keyboard That bad boy will give you fingers so strong lesbians will envy you, and is loud enough that when you get into enthusiastic shitposting people will think you're firing a machine gun at the monitor to make your...

For me, the lack of a legit 10 key numeric pad is a deal breaker. I do enough with numbers that my hand is well trained to the comfortable arena of 10-key. The smaller arrows would also annoy the piss out of me. (These are reasons I rarely do serious work with my work laptop unless I have a...

You're not even on the chart my dude.... But then again you did admit this is the keyboard to appease your 'tism.

Whatever little voice we, as people, have... It should be trying to kill this bill and get a proper one done. This bill would not only prevent any stablecoins from offering any type of yield/interest, it would also massively further invade any privacy anybody in the crypto space has. Almost...

Cameras? I literally have a button...

WHen do we get this version? This is what I want...

Guess either I was lucky, or that changed back less than 10 years ago... Maybe the girl giving the test was just blinded by my charm. I just found it odd. Or she realized putting a guy in his 40's who had obviously been driving his whole life through the test was nonsense.

A while back I had an issue. My license had expired, but I was super busy with work and other nonsense so I didn't even think about it. It was expired long enough I had to go retake the damn drivers test. I go take the stupid classroom test portion, realized you just need to pick the most...

Yeah, don't get me started on "Nardo" colored cars...

When we had our house painted a couple years back now there were consistent social pressures around the neighborhood to paint the brick too, and go to the "white with black trim, like an inside out fridge" look, or the "light gray, on gray, with gray accents" look. Instead we paid a color...

Looks like SOMEONE is already trying to make sure people know only true fans are wanted.. no bandwagoners!

I have never seen as much give up and half assery as the Steelers "defending" that pick 6. 4 guys in Steller jerseys who looked like they were just jogging along with the guy to try to keep warm until the game was over.

We have become a bland people... devoid of joy....

I can't remember which thread in the politics area we were shitting up with the microplastics derail... but this needs to go somewhere...

The only positive outcome of this game is that we're guaranteed that one of these teams will lose. Unrelated, but gave me a chuckle..

I'll even admit that sometimes the struggles of the Cowboys aren't Dak's fault at all. This year, as I said, if they had just put forth an average defense, they probably would have been in the playoffs and potentially past the first round. But the cold hard reality of football is that the QB...

I'm seeing a ton of the die hard and delusion amongst the Cowboy fan base going nuts about how INCREDIBLE a QB Dak is.... Then I bring up two key things : As Bill Parcels famously said : You are what your record says you are Dan Marino and Tony Romo also both had great stats.... Then I get...

I think we can now start to truly appreciate the scale of player Parsons is.... Packers were 0-5 in games Parsons either didn't start in, or didn't finish. If that man hadn't blown an ACL they would honestly probably have rolled the Bears since even without him they were still getting some...

I have a surprising number of friends, many born and raised in Texas, who are somewhat die hard Packer fans. Last night and this morning has been supremely entertaining to me. And from a national commentator I frequently get a nice "Sensible Chuckle" from who apparently is also a...

First off, they all have a boiled down list of probably 15 song max that are the essence of "classic rock" for those stations.. Those 15 songs will be 70%+ of what you hear every hour. In this day and age it's a super condense playlist (depending on who you have play rights with) and in all...

Well, like they say... Anything is a sex toy if you're brave enough.

I wonder how much I'd need to poke around for a shop looking to move and get rid of the junk at .800-.925 purity? I could use some for my metalworking, but will absolutely not drop $70+ an ounce.

Totes Obvious... an Obelisk for worshipping the primordial alien gods who seeded our planet..

2 foot long and 8 inches wide? That's real close to the measurements for the flat top I put on a half height wall in our entryway.... As you can see, mine's done in wood, but a long piece of 8" wide stone like that (with appropriate bullnose around the edge) could also work pretty perfectly there.

Ah, so this is where we're training our AI that's going to overthrow the government I see.... Does this also tie into @Izo and his recent thread necro run?

So , interesting quasi-update on my possible job changing offers. The internal role at my current company which would move me into a "Mentor and develop young engineering talent" role that I'm interviewing for... I check in with the guy I would be reporting to to see if there are any next...

Also, I have to ask... Are you sure about flower boxes on second story windows? I can't imagine a life of gardening on a ladder. Or are you gonna stock them with with "Eternal Flowers"?

So dead hooker flavored otter pops?
