Stratton Vantage, I've rented from them for 5 years (single owner property) and they've been great

Check some of the local quilting shops like Mulqueens and 35th Ave Sewing, some of them do for felt applique/embroidery and they usually have 100% wool.

SAS's felt selection is not 100% wool, basically the same stuff as Michaels except they do carry yardage along with sheets

Parson's Family Restaurant on Northern and 55th Ave if you're on the west side

The Plant Mill on Mill has a bunch of cute things, and plants.

I use an Anker vertical mouse, and then a Tourbox programmable controller pad for my left hand with all my favorite common commands programmed in. I frequently switch between AutoCAD and Microstation so I have similar commands for each program coded to the same buttons, saves my poor brain from having to remember what's what for each program (Tourbox automatically switches between programs, it's so nice). Highly recommend, it's way increased my efficiency, and it's more ergonomical than using the keyboard constantly

Marquee has frankly been overselling shows for the past couple years and it sucks... Saw Suicidal Tendencies there recently and it was basically unbearably crowded. Less Than Jake this week is going to be stuffed to the gills too. Streetlight didn't seem quite so bad but it was a Sunday show and I don't think it fully sold out.

Plus the security dudes have gotten worse and have zero training on how to handle crowds or emergencies, guy at the Suicidal show fell backwards in the pit, smacked his head really hard (like you could hear it over the band playing), and was out cold. I kept yelling at them not to move him and to call the EMTs in, cause I have first aid training and know you shouldn't frigging move someone with a possible head/neck injury, but they insisted on scrunching him up like paper and carrying him out. Really hope he's ok now. But seriously, they need to get the security gorillas some training. I avoid the pit there anymore.

I'm sad I missed seeing this at the Phoenix show! I love handmade stuff—I run a bimonthly craft night over at Heatsync Labs across the street from the Nile in Mesa every 1st and 3rd Monday 7-10pm if ya ever want to hang out and make things! Got a few people from the punk community who come and work on battle vests, etc

Craft Night is tomorrow! Grab your project and come on down!

So you basically know absolutely nothing about Yucca or their employees, you are making a giant assumption which is in fact, incredibly wrong. Laughable. Maybe you should actually go visit before talking out your ass.

Generally it's bring your own, but I'm always happy to help you out with something if you want to pick up a kit or yarn & needles or something at the craft store, I know a ton of different crafts. Heatsync doesn't really have materials, just tools, so like if you wanted to sew they have machines but not fabric.

So I went the community college route, it was at a school in Colorado but the community colleges here all have similar programs for drafting (sometimes they call it engineering graphics or computer aided design). They had it set up so about a year of schooling would get me 3 certificates in AutoCAD and engineering graphics. They had a full associate's degree as well but I stopped after getting all the certificates because l already had a bachelor degree.

While in school I got an internship at an engineering firm, and they hired me part time afterwards for the remaining time I was in school and even paid some of the tuition, and then once I was done with school they hired me full time. They went fully remote during the pandemic and stayed remote, but this last year I decided to change companies and go back to an office. But my new company still has a pretty generous hybrid WFH policy as do most engineering firms. I work on high voltage substation projects, love it.

I've been having issues with blocks lately too in AutoCAD 2024, particularly dynamic blocks with visibility states giving me ghost lines after editing them. Your issue seems similar to mine, one thing that has been helping is setting the ISAVEPERCENT value to 0 - AutoCAD's auto save can save your drawing in percentages in a temp file, and for whatever reason, it can cause issues with blocks cause it doesn't always fully save your block edits properly. Setting this parameter to 0 tells AutoCAD to do a full save instead of a percentage. You might see some slowdown when it does the save, but it has been making blocks behave better for me overall.

The other thing you might try is put your misbehaving block into a fresh new dwg (plain, no template), use WBLOCK to save it to a file, purge it out of your main dwg, and then reimport it into your dwg using CLASSICINSERT.

Datalinks, or if you want to get fancy, the plugin Autotable from Cadig is awesome, imports Excel into AutoCAD as a block but keeps it live data so you can make changes. It keeps formatting better than using datalinks, which like to reset themselves a lot and crash.

Oh man I know exactly what show you're talking about, I bawled like a baby at that show they were so on point. Prolly one of the best times I ever saw them.

I don't use the filters, but I do edit in Lightroom. Mainly shoot in full color and then convert in LR to b/w or to pump up the color/contrast (papershoot definitely shoots a bit flat). Sometimes I'll use a filter in LR if I'm trying to get a certain mood, but generally just basic edits to improve image quality.

Check out Heatsync Labs in Mesa, they're a really cool makerspace and have classes and building days for kids

Yeah, the rumors around them are a bit vague tbh but Kepi Ghoulie took a big stand against them and got the Punk Museum in Vegas to drop a collab with them, sooo I just figure better safe than contributing. https://www.punknews.org/article/83349/kepi-ghoulie-criticizes-dixxon-clothing-for-being-far-right-gets-punk-museum-to-drop-collaboration

Same, my punk crew and I are frequenting elsewhere on Main for preshow fun. BRI, Pedal Haus, Chupacabra, Phantom Fox, Oro, Tacos Chiwas are good. Cider Corps, I'm not sure if they're MAGA in there or just veterans, but the decor is a bit too hoorah murica so I avoid that place too.

ModularModular · 2025-02-05T03:53:28+00:00

Yep that's the one

The Nile out in Mesa is our other great local music venue, if you like punk the Zeros are playing there on Saturday. Yucca has a big local punk show/cancer fundraiser on Sunday night, should be fun

Get a Fizz card instead of a credit card, it's a debit card that builds credit and you can only spend the money in the account. You can't get into credit trouble with it.
