    It should be noted I could not find a sign from Waffle House. I am left to assume that's because everybody already knows what Waffle House is down for.

    I had a discussion around cybersecurity tools yesterday with someone. They asked the inevitable question of "Where's the AI in this?" SMH I told them, AI is great at things where you need probabilistic answers. Things where you don't need or want the exact same thing every time because...

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    I started with a PowerSpec Ultra3d Pro which was a knock off of the Flashforge Dreamer. Can't even remember the name now. It was fun, but a living science project. In the years I had it I think I got a total of 2 prints to work using both extruders. I got the Ender 5 pro a few years back and...

    Nice looking frame there, might I inquire as to the location/availability of an STL or is this one of your own design/homebrew? Would be nice to print something more useful than little plastic toys to occupy my wife ;)

    I have a flux-core welder in a box in my garage still staring at me every time I'm in there daring me to learn to weld. And I have two nephews who are both welders who have said they'd come get me started..... But it looks like it's going to keep staring at me for a while.

    To chip in a little on this topic. I have an OG AnyCubic Photon. I don't do any special ventilation for it outside that my workshop has a small 4" vent fan in the celling which I turn on around half the time. As for toxicity, I do stock up on nitrile gloves and wear those when I'm taking...

    Clarkson's Farm

    I also agree I think a good bit of the pub stuff was manufactured drama. Maybe pubs opening in England are just like that. But in the US a place like that would have had a "soft opening" before to iron out all the kinks of the staff and operations. And with as much introspection and "up in...

    First, I'll step in and agree with the others here, you need to get that ex out of your house/life. I know it will suck to lose a cat in the process, but honestly no good man is going to want to step into things with you with your ex still sleeping under the same roof. I know I wouldn't...

    It's figuring to play on the "He wants to retire a Star" angle, the "home town discount" bit, all that. Plus if you've watched him this year you can tell the wheels just aren't there like they used to be and he knows it. He's ending up behind plays.. a LOT. Which is causing him to take more...

    I think what we've seen through the regular season and playoffs now is that the talent exists within the players. I think the shake up might need to be on the coaching staff. Maybe HC, maybe not, but if not, then he needs to retool his coaching staff under him and find a way to get players...

    In the post game Deboer talked about pulling Oettenger. Awash in the usual "wake the team up" coash speak, but then included the tidbit of "He's lost 6 of his last 7 against the Oilers in the playoffs and let it 2 in the first 5 minutes of the game". IMHO, and it's only from a fan...
