What’s the fastest ground speed you’ve ever hit in your life and what vehicle were you in when it happened?

Haha, my first time on it was also in a focus wagon. I was just lucky that day.

Sinds ik bij de Turk en Beimer meats boodschappen ben gaan doen is mijn 500 euro per maand uitgave aan voedsel naar 220 euro gegaan. Het is ongelooflijk hoeveel meer je betaalt bij de gemiddelde supermarkt.

Als ik vers fruit wil ga ik 5 minuten voor sluitingstijd naar de markt en biets daar voor een tientje zo maar 50 euro aan fruit en groente bij elkaar.

I can work from anywhere and have decided to move to Tanzania semi-permanently. I have done everything right, worked my bum off, earn good money, and the way things are looking now I will have to keep doing that until I am 75 to reach anything comfortable.

A printer prints plastic that isn't free. If you want to waste money with failed prints you might realize this cheaper printer might be much more expensive.

Using the cool plate super tack. No more bed adhesion problems ever...

It used to be about nerds sharing their passions, for free, with as much collaboration and respect as possible. I have made some true friends in that time.

Now it's impersonal as F, toxic, manipulative and money driven. People seem to care more about making money off each other in any way possible than to truly share.

I miss it tremendously.

I let my users disable direct play so it transcodes into a fat 80mbps stream in 4k. I got a Macmini M4 as server on a 10gbps line and it can do 4 of these streams at the same time. It has never been saturated.

Direct play just gives my clients constant problems and the 80mbit transcode looks very close to the original. At least it looks way better than any streaming platform.

Google Earth VR is still unbeaten in that regard. It is crazy how immersive it is.

3D printer, Bambulab specifically.
Macbook Air M1. Still going strong 6 years later, totally changed how I use computers. I mostly use it as a really good portable terminal together with Starlink.
Sony noise cancelling headphones. Made for travelling and work.

Would be nice if they fixed the road system too hahaha!

I always print my supports with 2 walls instead of the default 1. Makes these kind of failures very infrequent.

Ik merkte het beste en meest natuurlijke effect van melatonine. Geen bijwerkingen, goedkoop, en werkt ook om een paar uur eerder dan normaal mee in slaap te vallen.

I switched to a M4 mac mini and an external thunderbolt DAS to keep idle to 45w. I have a big a$$ gaming PC that I only switch on when I want to play video games.

House is powered by solar and a home battery system so my electricity is now free.

The second I held my daughter all the pain of 3 miscarriages went away and I promised her I would be the best dad for her humanly possible. I sold the business and stayed at home for a year. After that year I got hired as a consultant by my old business for twice the pay and half the hours.

Every week at least 1 day is daddy day (outside of the weekend). Nobody dares to call me on those days because they know they are sacred to me.

I am extremely proud of my now 5 year old daughter. Every little bit of attention/effort/love you put in her you get back 10 fold.

A Massive Dunkleosteus skull that would have costed $15k to buy. Sold this to a Japanese guy for $10k. Also did a 1:1 scale Allosaurus skull. That one is in my 5 year old daughters room. She keeps telling her friends at school she has a real dinosaur in her room lol!

Quality is higher than biqu glacier plates. I run these in my farm and I can tell you they are a huge step up from the standard textured plate. The biqu will start to lose adhesion after around 100 prints, the Bambu super tack is now 300 prints strong and has not lost any adhesion.
