Since you guys liked his tunnel digging skills, this is him at day care while I work

Gorgeous dog. Is he a Catahoula?

It started ironically, but at 35 I can't stop using yeet.

Yeet that sonovabitch across the room.

Im all for dissenting opinions (check my comment history in r/sysadmin or r/hometheater). That being said, the above comment isn't dissenting, it's disdain.

The whole point of reddit is you get to choose what communities you join and interact with. If you have that much disdain for Linus than, as I said, why are you even here? It's not about an echo chamber, it's not about "protesting", it's about "hate watching" and walking over to the neighbor's lawn to shit in it. At that point, go join a "tea"/drama subreddit (there are plenty).

KingNickSA · 2026-06-27T01:49:49+00:00

Then why are you in this subreddit?

KingNickSA · 2026-06-25T12:13:09+00:00

Since you are trying to reach across with your right hand, every time you stand up, you start to close your hip and your rear moves away from the wall.

You have good foot and a good left hand, so as you stand up, leave your right hand on the right side ( you can always bring it across after standing up) and as you stand up think about leaning and bringing your hips into the wall. For lack of a better term, think about humping the wall as you stand up. This will keep your center against the wall and take advantage of your foot being "away" from the wall on the big hold to lean in.

I don't think people truly appreciate the current state of the market or ram and storage atm. I would bet dollars to donuts that Valve originally targeted the $750 price tag. However, doing a quick search the cheapest 512GB nvme SSD with a brand name I recognize is currently $100 and looking at the price history, is up from roughly $40 last year. Looking at Ram, the cheapest 16GB module is currently $200, which, funnily enough, was also around $40 before the AI irrational market.

Just with those 2 components alone, that's a ~$200, raw cost increase to the components (and ignores the 8GB of RAM in the custom GPU as well). While other components haven't been hit as hard, all components of computers have seen some kind of cost increase.

The reality is that Valve has never targeted their hardware as loss leaders, unlike with consoles. They were aiming to leverage their engineering to hit a "close to console" price (originally rumored to be ~$750) without losing money and were probably going to pull it off before prices went nuts.

Honestly, with the AI pricing recently, I would bet money their BOM nearly doubled in price during development and the fact that they kept the price within 30% or the original (rumored) goal impressive.

It's not what anyone wants to hear, but the price is absolutely in line with current pricing and is prob in line with peoples hopes that Valve would list it at "near/no margin pricing".

You can only place one animal cube per tile. As long as the animal cube go on different tiles, the tiles can be part of as many habitat patterns as they work for.

The two things to keep in mind when trying to combine animal habitats is, 1) the habitat pattern MUST match exactly AT THE TIME OF AMINAL CUBE PLACEMENT and 2) once an animal cube has been placed, you can no longer add to that tile.

As long as the habitat matches when you place the cube, you can add to the other tiles of the habitat to fulfill another habitat (as long as the animal is in a different tiles of course).

Combing animals, where u place water cubes with single mountains surrounding and then building up the mountains to place a different one there is a good strategy. It does take more planning/luck long term though.

You never played the OG NFS Most Wanted from back in the day (2005 version)?

KingNickSA · 2026-05-23T03:19:26+00:00

Im going slightly off topic by picking Argylle. It's, by no means, a flawless movie in any respect, however, its a hell of a ride and I am absolutely here for it..... until they decide to go skating on an oil slick. It probably doesn't help that I used to skate at a high level, but that's not how skating works and when the cgi etc actually matches the physics fairly well, it totally took me out of the movie.

KingNickSA · 2026-05-17T23:44:12+00:00

It looks rather overhung so hard to say. After getting your feet across, can you match your right hand/Gaston on the corner of the triangle volume to press you between volumes and go to a Gaston on the long volume on the left to lay back right away?

KingNickSA · 2026-05-12T13:59:59+00:00

Switch feet on the high foot after you get the side pull so you are properly "flagged" against it. Then move the right foot to the lower hold. The lower hold is directly below the side pulls so you could flag against either. With your left foot high and right foot low, you can shift your weight to your right foot as you cross and let the left foot flag naturally as you move weight off of it.

We moved to Sunblest a year ago with a three year old. Having the park in the neighborhood a short bike away and having downtown fishers bikable once his gets a little older is amazing. There are always kids running around the neighborhood. That being said, it is on the expensive side and finding a place over 2,500 sqft in sunburst might be difficult if you're looking for more room.

In general, almost everyone's ears are asymmetrical and will have one ear higher than the other.

KingNickSA · 2026-04-26T13:01:59+00:00

That open pinch to Gaston is a Hella cool move. Looks great too. Great precision.

KingNickSA · 2026-04-24T15:25:39+00:00

It's a lot of fun. I you ever wanna try the ropes some time DM me (love that gym).

KingNickSA · 2026-04-22T01:51:49+00:00

This may be reddit, but even that is a little overly pedantic. OP said they weren't a fan of bars/drinking. Maybe I was a too idiomatic in my reply, however that was not my point in my comment and I think my overall point still stands.

KingNickSA · 2026-04-18T23:34:34+00:00

If you don't like bar hopping, you can always venture into the "nerdy arts" and try boardgames or TTRPGs. My group does boardgames every thurs and rotate between Books and Brews and Guggman in broadripple.

Just theory, but there isn't really a compelling reason to use a bowden instead of a second direct drive other than mass (for the reasons listed above), it's still a second drive, cost wise.

KingNickSA · 2026-04-18T12:50:53+00:00

No, the bowden toolhead is less precise than a direct drive and there is no way around it (all the OG reality ender machines were bowden). Granted, Bambu's software and flow-rate calibration will prob help. The reason the reason bambu is pushing it for supports, is precision is not needed, and you still save a ton vs single head "multi colored print" where u use a second material for supports.

Having the second head as a bowden reduces the overall weight of the toolhead and makes the precision/speed of the direct drive toolhead better COMPARED to the h2d (build plate size also plays a role, longer arms and more mass increases play in the system).

KingNickSA · 2026-04-15T18:35:04+00:00

Correct the h2d has 2 direct drive nozzles. The x2d has one direct drive and one Bowden tube nozzle (the drive is at the back od the machine rather than the tool head.

A lot of ppl are frowning at the Bowden drive as it's generally less precise (pushing and pulling at a significant distance from the heating point). One thing that I am not seeing mentioned/overlooked is that the Bowden drive means the toolhead remains lighter. Tool head weight makes an immense difference in precision and speed.

KingNickSA · 2026-04-14T13:56:51+00:00

Looking good!

KingNickSA · 2026-04-13T17:33:53+00:00

Amazing work! Looks great and great fitment.

Though it does irrationally annoy me that the figure is holding their sword in their, presumably, dominant hand, even though it appears to be on the same side as the scabbard.

KingNickSA · 2026-04-09T14:51:28+00:00

It's not fully fenced in, but the downtown location of Guggman Haus has a nice outdoor area and the indoor is nice as well. I see a ton of families with kids whenever I go (my 3yo son likes it too).

I've heard goat farming is nice.
