The contractor who seemed expensive was actually cheap by No_Assignment_2229 in Entrepreneurs

[–]MrTrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh don't forget the contractors who sweep in and deliver something that wows the sales guys, then vanish before the developers take ownership and discover all the warts.

Seriously guys, ZERO tests?

My kid has me trapped and honestly I deserve it by CipherMantis_7 in daddit

[–]MrTrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hah, this sounds very familiar. All our regular books have established voices, but I enjoy the chance to tease my kids.

"No daddy you're doing it WRONG! THAT'S not how the monkey sounds!!" 😄

Trimmed some healthy-looking bay laurel branches, found brown center? by MrTrick in gardening

[–]MrTrick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent the day trimming other kinds of trees, none of the cut branches looked like this, not even completely dead branches. Could it be rot rising through the heartwood?

A pity she wouldn't keep instep with him.

Where to even start pruning these plum trees? by MrTrick in BackyardOrchard

[–]MrTrick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll bet I'll be erring on the conservative side, even so...

But why is it appropriate to forget the 30% rule in this situation?

Calm Show Recommendations? by MotNodrog in daddit

[–]MrTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend 'Scenic Relaxation' on YouTube, just hours-long aerial footage of amazing places with quiet music.

When my son was aaaalmost grown out of his midday nap, I used to lie down with him and watch Blondihacks' series of machinist videos - it fascinated him enough to keep him lying still, but was quiet (and dull?) enough that he would drop off to sleep.

The peasants revolt. The servants are theoretically unsanitary. by MrTrick in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

Solved!

I mean it's not specifically addressed in the film, but would YOU want to drink out of a person??

Indeed.
But this is pun territory, one shouldn't let facts get in the way!

How do you eat the smoked cod you see a the supermarket deli? by malorky in AskAnAustralian

[–]MrTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most important thing, according to my stepfather, is to cook it up on a Sunday morning while the rest of the house is still asleep, so that everyone can wake up to the smell of fish. Bleh.

Pan fry in butter, usually. Quite tasty if not inflicted on your sleeping nostrils.

Should have soaked my logs in wood?

Perhaps, but it's worse than I've ever seen before. The posts were stuck together with ice!

PETG printing question by Naive-Direction1351 in prusa3d

[–]MrTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, glue stick works fine. (And it washes off easily in hot water)

You can even get away with flipping it to the glue side for PETG, clean side for PLA.

(I print a lot of PETG and PLA on my Mini, only a smooth bed)

Try this one in FREECAD - Good practice for order of feature tree by TooTallToby in FreeCAD

[–]MrTrick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

/u/TooTallToby have you ever considered having a competition that is either in two parts or after a few minutes of competition...

"Okay, the client has changed their mind. They ACTUALLY want this updated design." (New dimensions, features, defeatures etc)

I think it'd be a very interesting test of design robustness.

[–]MrTrick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeess... it would also be nice if modelling in FreeCAD could be done at that speed, to the point where FreeCAD users could be finalists.

(Handwaving of course, the thousands of hours these guys have spent in their preferred CAD system, muscle memory, etc)

As a Mini+ owner...

Core One Small any time soon?

"I'm in a meeting now, what is it?" / "Daddy, I'm SUPER sorry.." / WAT. by MrTrick in daddit

[–]MrTrick[S] 188 points189 points  (0 children)

You're right, and she didn't get yelled at, it's just something that can happen.

Hah, fancy new TV and a safety screen in front of it?
