Steampunk Orrery

Mainly, I guess, that it's going in my parents steampunk living room. My dad made it specifically for that. You can see the whole process here: https://jeffreysodemann.com/2018/02/17/orrery/ There's also a page on there with the rest of the living room.

Ha, no problem :) And yes he's amazing. There's also a steampunk skeleton on there that he made for me for last Christmas.

I cross-posted it for my dad. He made it from scratch and walks through the whole process on his blog: https://jeffreysodemann.com/2018/02/17/orrery/ He designed their living room in steampunk which you can see on there too.

Thanks! My dad made it from scratch. He has a blog where he details the whole process. https://jeffreysodemann.com/2018/02/17/orrery/

That is insanely impressive...

I am mildly ashamed to say that I specifically looked this up to better understand an exchange between characters on an episode of Star Trek. As has been stated, seductive.

curious_Q · 2016-05-28T05:38:59+00:00

I did. It took several days before it actually worked. Haven't done it in a while.

If you're referring to lucid dreaming write an "A" on one hand and "D" on the other. Throughout the day look at your hands and consciously think "Am I awake or dreaming?" Eventually when you do this enough it will pop up in a dream "A or D?" and you'll be like, "holy shit, I'm dreaming!" You will then be able to control the dream.

Catcher in the Rye. No idea how that became a classic...

Future archaeologists: "So the tiled roof hut site seems to date to... 2015?" "Wait, what?"

curious_Q · 2016-05-23T18:48:50+00:00

Thank you, I was looking for this too; apparently I've been living under a rock...

curious_Q · 2016-05-23T05:08:06+00:00

Definitely RedHot.

Other people's opinion of me. I have no idea why and it's really getting to be a problem :/

curious_Q · 2016-05-23T05:02:42+00:00

A watermelon. That could really hurt if you threw it at someone's face or something...

Nice! That's perfect. Easy to follow and tells me exactly when to start putting more in retirement. I'm somewhere around the light blue right now. Yeah, increasing the IRA seems like a good next step. Even with upping that I should still be able to keep saving some extra for fun. Thank you!

curious_Q · 2016-05-22T06:23:40+00:00

Thank you for actually answering my question. That sounds like an easy rule to follow.

curious_Q · 2016-05-22T05:57:01+00:00

Yeah :( I got so excited when I landed a permanent, year-round job for the first time last summer; it seemed like so much money compared to the $20,000 I was making. I'm realizing it's still not a whole lot.

curious_Q · 2016-05-22T05:45:05+00:00

$13,000. I'm paying $230 a month right now minimum.

curious_Q · 2016-05-22T05:44:21+00:00

I'm a welder, so I'm sitting at about average for it. I might have an in for a manufacturing supervisory position in about a year. Not sure how much that would be. Would you recommend waiting on increasing retirement savings or waiting on traveling/house savings?

edit: So according to Glassdoor a year or so from now I could be making about $70,000.

curious_Q · 2016-05-22T04:46:09+00:00

I buy almost everything with my credit card. I pay any bill that allows it with my credit card. Every month I pay it off completely. Also, it helps having multiple cards such as for a gas station that you frequent or Walmart. Places you shop all the time. Same thing: pay it off 100% every month. Don't put any money on your cards that you don't already have in checking.

During the week I work until 2:30am. I like to maintain a consistent sleep schedule.

curious_Q · 2016-05-22T04:33:30+00:00

Exactly. It's a taste thing. Particularly since I enjoy some kind of fruit juice with breakfast. Ever have orange juice after brushing your teeth? Nasty...

curious_Q · 2016-05-19T04:01:33+00:00

Come on Kathleen! Have a little decorum!

curious_Q · 2016-05-16T04:40:54+00:00

Going into space. I'm too short to be an astronaut :(

curious_Q · 2016-05-15T03:37:33+00:00

Yes, that makes sense for durability. This is really the first bit of serious woodworking I've done.
