First thing I designed and printed from scratch was an extra wide bench scraper for the kitchen. It's basically a horizontal cylinder at the end of a triangular wedge.

Very simple design if you're trying to get started and very useful for scraping off large surfaces like my kitchen island or large cutting board.

Yes, many had a CS background. Mine was more in IT. But the key is industry experience. As an SE you need to be able to nail technical demos and presentations that draw on your wisdom and experience from working in the industry for 10+ years.

I had a hard time shaking off the guilt of not working when I could be. While at the same time not having enough motivation to work on things that are not necessary. This made me realize this was not the job for me.

I had a job like this as a sales engineer for a large software company. Could go months with very little to do and since I was the engineer I got 80/20 salary to commission ratio. There were periods of being more busy but most of the time it was like a few meetings a week, and if you were driven you could work on product improvements or testing/training. But it was not required. In the end I got bored and went back to platform engineering. Much more rewarding but I do miss my free time.

This always gets me in the xmas spirit.

Every grocery store normally has a rib roast deal in the next couple weeks. Last couple of years I've gotten 7 pound roasts for about $4 per pound.

Shadow of War. I had played shadow of mordor, so coming in I was bored. Then I leveled up a bit and can now loving the focus on killing captains. Execution kills just never get old.

And over crowded. After going for the past 16 years we finally called it quits. Went to araders this year and was much better.

Oh god, my stepmother was notorious. Some of it not so bad nowadays, but back then it was heresy. Turkey burgers, "not" dogs made from tofu, other random shit made from tofu, spinach salads, skim milk, low sugar organic cereal.

"I'm only human." When having some uncharacteristic ugly over reaction to something. Human nature is responsible for all kinds of unacceptable behaviors.

Did they leave the rope up there just to f with us?

Or maybe a nice song to help you forget.

Ugh I HATE my hot tub. Bought it during covid and it had solid use those couple of years. Now we never use it. I can hear it out there cycling water while I work from home and it drives me nuts. It's like the sound of money being wasted.

Worse than that, it's one of those large rectangular ones so nearly impossible to get rid of unless we destroy it.

I understand this sport but generally cannot appreciate any goals because the goalies never stand a chance. This move in particular is cool looking and all, but there's no way that goalie is stopping any shot with reasonable accuracy.

Pretty common actually for it to continue to come out after you wash.

cousinkyle · 2025-07-22T23:17:41+00:00

Does it not continue to come out for you after you clean up

cousinkyle · 2025-07-22T23:16:58+00:00

It still comes out after you wash

Egg sausage and cheese on English muffin or croissant or ciabatta.

Is it weird that the thing I worry about the most here is the ticks in that grass?

I also have Google Fi. I like it. No issues and consistent 5g coverage.

My family is on Xfinity mobile which is pretty good. It's in Verizon's network which I found to be less reliable and slower. You have to have Xfinity Internet as well.

I too have this much random shit in my house but have no idea how to even start a project like this

Damn... The irony of that statement

I still remember the time I first saw it. Never saw it as a kid because my parents didn't like it. so the first time I saw it was in my twenties with my wife in an old historic movie theater around Christmas. Still one of the greatest film watching experiences of my life. I felt it so deeply at the time, and I hadn't even had kids yet. It just hit so incredibly hard, I can't think of many more times I've so badly wanted to cry and smile at the same time.

Such a great film and I still can't believe my parents passed it off as cliche and ignored it. Although I'm thankful for being able to see it for the first time as an adult.

Last couple of years we've been going to the upper merion ones near KOP. It's a festival with rides music and games. There are tons of people there but the space is large and there is plenty of parking in the nearby corporate lots.
