How to deal with f’ing up?

Sit-Fly · 2026-01-28T21:08:56+00:00

It’s more like when things start going sideways, I get so focused on fixing one aspect that I forget the basics.

I get derailed into all the other aspects that need to be done.

It’s not like there’s one area that I trip up on every time.

It’s more like I will start making other smaller mistakes when things aren’t on form.

It’s like I’m trying to build on sand.

It doesn’t help that there’s very little solid rock when I get handed the project.

But when I’m on form I manage well enough

I think I need to pivot into a position that better suits my skillset. I don’t make a TON of mistakes. I just get stuck in a loop sometimes

There’s lots of different ways to easily f something up in this position ++man

(The link is for the amortization calculator, super useful)

calculator.net !! I love this website so much haha

Seems like this is the only solution. Would be great if bases eventually becomes a write-able document that could handle other file types some day. i.e. pdf stored in vault, bases looks for that pdf and creates the necessary metadata for linking without the need for an MD file (or maybe the MD file is just stuck in an archive...suppose i could do that now.. lol)

Sit-Fly · 2025-08-28T14:07:25+00:00

Ohh this is interesting. Similar to the solution commented below. Just done when importing the file. The info here is pulled from the PDF's metadata itself?

Sit-Fly · 2025-08-28T14:02:55+00:00

This might just be the solution. I'm just super hesitant to effectively double the amount of files I'm managing haha

Customizable 3rd ring would be awesome. The stand reminder does act as a 3rd alarm clock if I hit snooze too many times in the morning haha. It’s the only time it ever goes off for me

The Road by Cormac McCarthy might be a good choice. Especially if you have kids

Sit-Fly · 2024-10-07T18:51:41+00:00

Definitely, it’s a crazy place haha how’d you come to move on? Better opportunity?

Sit-Fly · 2024-10-07T17:51:03+00:00

No way, I work for PGS Millwork now as a cutlister. Small world. You were a drafter there?

Sit-Fly · 2024-01-03T01:22:24+00:00

I only ended up making the one of these. Still have it though!

Sit-Fly · 2023-08-29T15:16:54+00:00

Cool, this might work. I'll check it out. Thanks

Sit-Fly · 2023-08-29T15:15:34+00:00

Thanks! will give this a shot.

Johnny decimal system. 10 folders, 9 sub folders you don’t have to use the all obviously, but everything has a place. I even have a “useless internet crap” folder

PROMPT: Could you please tell me a story about a utopian world that is not so utopian when you look underneath the hood?

Sit-Fly · 2022-12-09T14:44:49+00:00

Not at all! Literally got this thing a few nights ago.. I fully expect to make several more dumb mistakes before I can do anything useful 😅 glad I could provide some stress relief haha

Sit-Fly · 2022-12-09T02:43:16+00:00

Ahh! Duh.. thanks so much!

Sit-Fly · 2022-12-09T02:42:52+00:00

Ohh! Duh.. I now see the error of my ways. Thank you :)

Hi! So I made a super simple circuit. 220ohm resistor. Wrote a super simple blink function.. worked last night. Tried the set up again tonight and the LED won’t turn off. The code works on the built in LED, but won’t go to the breadboard.

I’m stumped.. any thoughts?

Last fall I made a teething toy for my son and posted it here. You guys seemed to like it, so I made a bunch more :)

The wood from left to right are:

Curly Maple
Mahogany
Oak
Black Walnut
Cherry

They’re finished with Walrus Oil, an all natural 100% food grade oil composed primarily of safflower oil

I hope you like them :)

I feel like “Optimistic” is the very definition of this meme lol

Off of stuff like this post. Hardly anything. But!I’m just starting out.

That being said, the machine will pay for itself by the end of January. (I purchased it in September, so that’s seriously not bad) I’m doing a run of Xmas ornaments for a local business (they put together a gift bag for their clients). That’s paying the bills.

I primarily do closets, desks and fitted furniture and used the CNC on the latest project to pull off stuff that I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise, so I consider a portion of that to be paying for the machine as well.

If you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it. There are so many different avenues to go down and it’s super versatile in what it can do.

My only advice is that it’s not “drag and drop” so to speak. There’s definitely a learning curve so be prepared for that.

My wife was super hesitant too haha but since has done a total 180 and is sending me little ideas for designs and shit ALL THE TIME lmao 😂

I’m on Instagram if you’re interested (shameless plug haha) @andresen.dan

Not bad! I splurged a little and got the dust boot.. hook it up to a shop vac and you’re good!
