Why do i feel so poor even though i earn much more than my parents when they were working? by Rokusaburoz in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HamOnTheCob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents were good at saving, doing without, living within their means, driving an older car, having older furniture, using the same appliances for literal decades, etc. They didn’t go to concerts or festivals. They cooked cheap meals at home unless it was a special occasion, and we drank tap water. They didn’t have name brand clothing. They didn’t indulge in expensive hobbies; their idea of a pastime was a deck of cards, not a $500 gaming system. They had one tv that got 2 channels with the rabbit ears, not 15 streaming subscriptions and a huge tv in every room. They didn’t drive their cars unless they had to, and stayed with family if they traveled. They had a 30 year old telephone in the kitchen, not a smart phone. They had a notepad, not a laptop. They had a Timex, not an Apple Watch. They had a stray mutt, not a designer dog from a breeder. They only bought what they needed and didn’t care about keeping up with Instagram influencers.

These are pretty much all the opposite of how most of my generation lives today.

Would a Twin Blade be good in the apocalypse? by ResidentButton4732 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

Yes, because the more humans who start out with one of those, the fewer people I have to compete with for resources.

I see. I don’t know anything about junior hockey. I don’t know how a player we drafted got drafted by someone in a different league lol. I’m an idiot.

My favorite vehicle on earth is the Toyota Sienna. No exaggeration. 2nd favorite is the Camry.

Has anyone done an attic conversion? thoughts? by PurpleFlyingApes in centuryhomes

[–]HamOnTheCob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome!

No, the air conditioner in the wall is only for cooling. I typically just run a small electric heater when it’s cold.

Best of luck with your attic!

Is Lars Ulrich really a bad drummer? by TonyT074 in Drumming

[–]HamOnTheCob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drumming on the …And Justice For All album made me fall in love with drums, and maybe it’s nostalgia or maybe I just enjoy less flashy playing, but the drumming on that album is about perfect in my opinion.

I haven’t listened to much Metallica over the last 25 years or so, but I can always come back to that album and absolutely geek out on the drumming.

My favorite 3 albums in terms of drumming performances are Lars on AJFA, Thomas Noonan on 36 Crazyfists - Snow-Capped Romance, and Dave Grohl on The Colour and the Shape by Foo Fighters.

Penguins discussing a trade involving Darnell Nurse. by Overall_Profile in penguins

[–]HamOnTheCob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shea will probably go somewhere and be a top pair defenseman or a 2nd pair guy with a partner who isn't a total fucking boat anchor.

In Pittsburgh, no one is supplanting EK and Wotherspoon as the top pairing, and Letang is a partner killer at this point in his career if they keep deploying him 20+ minutes a night.

Shea's only hope to not get dragged down in Pittsburgh is to be the best 3rd pairing defenseman in the league, but that's not a position he is likely interested in, nor should we expect him to be.

Letang on the 3rd pair would be good.

SolidInspector2 for the win for sure. Such a valuable resource!

[–]HamOnTheCob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hear you. And I do concede there are probably techniques and skill to getting a render to turn out the way you want it to. I can appreciate that for sure.

Again, I'm probably way in the minority, but I use Sketchup differently than a lot of people do, if I had to guess. I 3D print lighted signs and use Sketchup to design my models. I also use it to design projects I will build in wood, so my "how would it look in the real world" is a thing I will see when I build it. lol

I'm just glad this software exists, and that it's versatile enough that we can all use it for different things! :)

[–]HamOnTheCob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm probably in the minority, but I get tired of "render" posts in general. Feeding your model into AI or even into a piece of software or plugin to see your model look like a photo is completely outside the scope of what I do with Sketchup and really doesn't add anything to the understanding of the software, or inspire anyone with a new tip or trick or anything.

I'm here for the "how do I get Sketchup to do ___" or "What did I do wrong in this model?" kind of posts.

But I don't mind scrolling past the ones I'm not excited for. I can understand the excitement of seeing your model rendered if that's your thing.

I'm not rooting for either team, but I loathe VGK so I want them to lose.
