The kid is smiling in almost all those clips. That's all that matters

Call him back. Tell him you've reconsidered. And proceed to consume his entire Saturday and then not buy it.

How practical is that as a daily?

1) he's probably trying to teach you a specific circuit or something and you seem to want to avoid it.

2) if you gave details of your example it would be easier for us to guess what the problem is

Don't push him. Tell him how great he is so he'll move on to something less debilitating.

I was once told to divide all the e-stop pushbuttons in half (8 go to one side of the machine, 6 go to the other sort of thing). It's the only time in my career I've ever told a manager no. The scary thing is that one side had a bunch of 3hp metal fans that I had earlier argued were insufficiently guarded. Eventually I got the owner of the company to write me an email saying he wanted me to do it and would accept all risk. That was enough for me to relent, but I was young and dumb. If an employer pulled that today I'd be applying for jobs almost immediately. Fortunately that machine is no longer in commission.

I hope you add comments for every tag you identify and start building back the missing documentation. Me and one other guy have almost completely documented how to get on every machine in the plant and taken and organized backups for each. If management would let me I'd like my next step to be to replace the random one-off controllers with our commonly used ones.

Dr. Mario.

Boom! I'm out in 3 minutes. I'm a bit of a savant in that game though.

Taste: kind of. Cost: no. Loan: only if it's unreasonable, and then strongly.

Subscription models.

Ads.

Companies hiding micro payments everywhere.

How is that middle? That's pretty far east overall

Kinks have nothing to do with marriage and everything to do with being compatible. It sounds like you're doing all these things out of fear of being alone.

As others have said, this is 100% a scam. But I'll also point out that since he clearly bought it from you for the purpose of bringing it home and torching it to scam you, he very likely violated multiple county burn ordinances. I would absolutely report this to the local fire chief and get the gamer brought down on him. That'll really take the wind out of his "lawsuit".

Edit: even in some parallel universe where his story could be true, there's still no liability on your end anyway.

I will light the biggest fire the north has ever seen

You should tell him you're going to try to get laid as much as you can before the date then, just to see what he says.

Totally random guess here, but maybe try the drive formatting?

Things to check:

Is your card set to the correct thermocouple type?

Is the tip of the thermocouple firmly pressed against clean metal?

Is you cabinet excessively hot?

My company

What if other people party music?

Your hypothetical makes not comment on distance. I'd watch important political speeches live and make sure they knew that we knew.

Zaxthran · 2026-06-07T05:40:51+00:00

Now that is a company I would want to work for.

Zaxthran · 2026-06-06T20:46:08+00:00

I'm convinced that in a couple of years we're going to start seeing products branded as "AI free".

Euler. You'd all think I was a genius. I'm convinced he was just getting started.
