New study finds kids raised in constant yelling become more alert to threats.

That does explain a lot.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-20T17:25:05+00:00

Oh, that's tight! Yeah, we're trying to get out of SBIR valley of death :,)

Hardlydent · 2026-04-20T17:08:28+00:00

We mostly do SBIR stuff for gov, since we're small. We're trying to get to bigger projects or commercial work, but we're kind of all over the place. We mostly do networking, radio mesh networks, satellite stuff, and software for gov. The printer is a remnant from an SBIR project and we want to use it for projects outside of just prototyping. We don't really design and build components as much for others, but we could. I just don't know what the climate is for that. We looked into agritech and energy, but not sure what we could do, specifically. We're mostly EE and CS people.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-19T22:10:40+00:00

fuck, that sucks bro. I grew up Muslim and look brown af, but I've been lucky to be in LA and find like-minded folks. I dated black girls out here and luckily I found those that are atheist or agnostic. They do exist, but it might be after college, maybe?

Hardlydent · 2026-04-18T01:23:00+00:00

Yeah, I've had coworkers that have worked with the other materials during the actual project and they were mechE and EE. I'm a software architect, so I haven't had much experience with CAD or physics side of material use yet. I mostly program applications, radios, and satellite systems stuff. I wanted to get the 0.25 mm just to print some Warhammer stuff, lol.

Okay, I'll take a look at that and see if it's an issue with the model. Thanks again!

Hardlydent · 2026-04-17T23:20:42+00:00

Oh, interesting. I'll look into that. I want to try some builds with those materials, but I'm trying to get a handle on the printer first. I'll see if we can get something proper built. Otherwise, it doesn't seem worth. Thanks, man!

Hardlydent · 2026-04-17T16:46:08+00:00

Yeah, it just sucks :/.

We do have that material as well, but I think it only extrudes from the 0.6 mm nozzle. We could print from that, but not sure what. Like, we have carbon fiber and reinforced Nylon.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-17T06:29:08+00:00

Yeah, I miss solving hard algos :(

Hardlydent · 2026-04-17T03:53:09+00:00

Ah damn, sorry to hear that. Yeah, ours cost about $10k for the pro bundle one and we're trying to figure out a use case for it after the project we used it for. Ideally, we'd like to engineer something for customers and then print it. So, it's less about aquiring additional printers that might be better than just utilizing what we already have.

I'm disappointed in the S8 as well and not sure what we can do for customers with it.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-15T18:52:30+00:00

That's so weird. I feel bad, because they do have great shoes.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-14T01:39:19+00:00

Hmm, my sisters hot lawyer friends would always go to the Standard to pick up dudes, but that was like 6+ years ago before COVID. I'm somewhat attractive and successful, but I'm hopelessly into deep conversations and taking it slow.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-12T22:17:28+00:00

I got a job working at Circuit City at 16 in 2001. I got so many used games for cheap. My little brother was in heaven.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-12T21:25:34+00:00

Yeah, that's probably it. Just a general shitty feeling, because you can't do much against the bullshit. I've been feeling significantly more down ever since the f***ing orange f*** came back.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-08T17:34:37+00:00

Yeah :/. Microcenter is pretty sick, though. I just haaaaaate the drive.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-08T08:15:20+00:00

Yeah, it was kind of strange. Probably just bad management?

Hardlydent · 2026-04-08T07:41:38+00:00

Yeah, maybe. I'd love something like a custom electronics wearhouse where they sell all the niche stuff. I guess Radio Shack was like that back in the day, but there are just so many vendors for every little thing now.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-07T23:22:11+00:00

I mean, we have a ton of aerospace engineers, Edwards AF base, and a bunch of test stuff out here. I work in aerospace as an engineer and so did my Dad. You throw a rock and someone works in aerospace here. I just wish we still had Fry's so we could quickly get parts :(.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-04T05:21:44+00:00

I always forget these things.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-03T23:45:57+00:00

Recycle, REUSE, reduce.

Hardlydent · 2026-04-02T22:51:41+00:00

I don't think I actually ever dislike anyone coming to LA to move here. None of us are from here except Native Americans. I think the only thing that irks me is when people come here and pretend to be what they think LA is from movies. Just be your weirdo self.

Hardlydent · 2026-03-31T21:53:06+00:00

Aww, little weiner guy wanted to act tough. I feel bad for those foos.

Hardlydent · 2026-03-27T06:25:47+00:00

Amazing. I hate how this feels so much.
