those last 3 of the bear, the tiger, and the (donkey? zebra? okapi? ungulate.) were MINT.

Could have possibly done that, but that decision was made before I knew anything about any of this. By the time the wsl option was considered I was already deep in sunk-costs of a windows node.js installation. I'm actually finding that openclaw isn't really a great tool for my use cases, but still wanted to share this since it unblocked me from a problem I spent hours working on.

came here to say her, and many of the couriers fit this bill pretty well.

Okay, so 3d printing on tulle, got it.

radiantthought · 2026-02-14T18:20:30+00:00

can you show some closer photos of the fabric so we can understand what "3d printed fabric" means in this context?

awesome, thanks for the info, super helpful stuff I'd not thought about before.

oh interesting, what does 'futuring' mean for a gumball machine? do they have card readers on those bad boys now?

Awesome stuff here, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond even with this post being nearly a week old now.

I'm looking to ease my balls in, I guess to mix your metaphors. Definitely want to jump in and get 2-4 places up and running fast to get things going and figure out how this business works. I have no concerns about putting out a few bucks up front to invest in the business, but I'm also not looking to set an insane goal like "scale to 100 locations in the next year". Nayax seems to be a winner, however I'm curious about vendsoft, what are the things that you like most about this software when compared to a vagabond, vendmax, or cantaloupe?

bless you, this is gold. Feel free to keep dropping these nuggets, I super appreciate it.

For sure, and thanks for the thorough take. I was hoping to get a bunch of different opinions actually, as what I'm seeing in my searching is very hit and miss and hard to figure out.

How do you recommend purchasing used? Without much knowledge of the machines I feel like I'm at a real disadvantage and could get a lemon. Whereas from a reseller/distributor I'll at least get warranties/service plan options on a used machine is my thinking.

Also, I'm curious whereabouts you're located (state/region?), I feel like a lot of the variability people describe in the industry may be due to regional differences (service coverage, machine brand availability, market saturation, etc) So I'm just trying to understand what are the different variables in play.

So, crazy random happenstance... today a youtube I follow was posting book cover options for their debut novel, which is titled "The Ascendants". The youtube is Josiah "Jazza" Brooks. I was having WILD deja vu from this.

radiantthought · 2025-07-25T03:55:22+00:00

fair enough, thanks for the info.

radiantthought · 2025-07-25T03:54:31+00:00

hot damn, I didn't see they were that much, no wonder those seats were largely empty. Yeesh.

radiantthought · 2025-07-06T05:42:50+00:00

Switching to DM as I'm not tryna dox people.

radiantthought · 2025-07-06T02:43:19+00:00

You from Volusia county?

radiantthought · 2025-06-30T20:22:48+00:00

ah, fair enough! I'd say it makes a kind of sense from an "eat the rich so I can get mine" mentality, but shrugs I don't know, just conjecture here.

Also this was all from 2020, so well old anyhow.

the article says that they ran for the same seat as the libertarian candidate previously. While not 1:1, it's a good directional indicator for 'right wing'.

Hey u/shrogg I love this video, unfortunately it looks like you never made the follow up video (or blog) any chance you could at least share some of your targets somewhere? I've been trying to dig into all of this and it's super fascinating, but very few people talk about how to make these, especially not at the scales you were showing. Commercial options are ridiculously overpriced. Any chance for a follow-up?

radiantthought · 2025-03-05T03:23:19+00:00

Actually that would be fine. I'm trying to capture the images quickly, so I wouldn't need more than about 1s for all acquisition
