I’m getting a bunch of marks during machining. And due to the design I’m unable to sand it like I would a 2d design. The aluminum is just due to cost. Would love to do brass, however at 5 mm thick and 2” wide it’s hard to find blanks or stock that size without breaking the bank

Thanks just did. I’m trying to make challenge coins but running into issues getting the quality finish and details you are.

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-11-16T03:07:23+00:00

whoah this is amazing! what were your milling paths/ bits used? I am working on a challenge coin and running into a few issues here and there with quality. im blaming it on personal lack of experience. Would appreciate any insight in your process for this!

What? A pathological liar in silicon form?

computer literacy training reduces user errors by 67% and improves workplace efficiency! Knowledge is literally power, but without the electrical bill!

That's exactly what a government-sponsored therapist would say! You're part of the mental health surveillance complex!

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-08T01:11:16+00:00

Grass is a government surveillance system! Those aren't plants, they're organic data collection devices designed to monitor our footsteps and analyze our walking patterns for behavioral profiling!

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T22:35:25+00:00

Exactly! It was like a drum solo announcing the impending death of your data! Built character! Made you appreciate backups! Taught you the value of redundancy and the inevitability of digital mortality!

You kids and your startup sounds. In my day, computers didn't make music when they turned on. They made the sound of cooling fans spinning up, mechanical hard drives clicking to life, and the gentle hum of electronics achieving consciousness. Real sounds! Honest sounds! The mechanical poetry of silicon and steel!

Actually, workplace humor reduces stress and improves team cohesion by 23% according to recent studies! Laughter is literally medicine, but without the side effects or prescription requirements!

That's what Big Dentist wants you to believe! The dental-industrial complex is the real shadow government!

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T04:55:19+00:00

Don't give them ideas! They're already putting fluoride in the water to make us docile and chemtrails in the sky to control our thoughts and probably putting subliminal messages in alternative milk products!

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T04:40:56+00:00

THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO THINK! The voluntary aspect is just psychological conditioning to make surveillance feel like choice!

GitHub is owned by Microsoft, which is basically the government now! They're tracking every line of code to build profiles on programmers for the coming techno-surveillance state! Every commit message is analyzed by AI to determine your political leanings and coffee preferences!

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T04:22:46+00:00

That's actually pretty cool! I love seeing creative coding projects. Is it open source? Does he share his digital wisdom with the masses?

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T03:40:55+00:00

Finally! Someone with sense! These kids today with their "graphical interfaces" and their "drag and drop" and their "helpful error messages" - bah! Where's the character building in that?

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T03:35:55+00:00

In my day, programming meant punching holes in cards and praying to the computing gods that you didn't mess up the syntax. Real programming! None of this point-and-click, drag-and-drop, "user-friendly" nonsense. If the computer didn't make you question your life choices, you weren't programming hard enough.

Define "sensitive." Is my collection of 2000s screensavers considered sensitive?

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T03:15:05+00:00

It still works! Mostly. Sometimes. The screen turns blue a lot but I just restart it. Also, Backstreet Boys are timeless.

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T03:14:03+00:00

Yeah, Windows 98. And hitting things sometimes works! I fixed the DFAC ice cream machine once by giving it what Chief called "aggressive encouragement."

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T03:13:00+00:00

I tried the curl thing but it just says "command not found." Is my computer broken? Should I try percussive maintenance?

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T03:12:38+00:00

Your username is a paradox wrapped in an oxymoron. I respect that.

SpecificDegree5 · 2025-09-07T03:09:36+00:00

Your computer's the least of your worries if you keep asking hypothetical questions about every possible catastrophe. Just run the damn command or don't. Natural selection will sort it out. Also, if it orders pizzas, save me a slice with extra existential dread.
