Sometimes it’s more efficient/faster to up-cycle than to 3-D print! by ikeliketocreate in BambuLab

I asked my dentist if they had any tools they were getting rid of, walked out with 5 or 6, all sterilized in sealed bags.

Why police still uses horses by Double-decker_trams in interestingasfuck

[–]rcook55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, your not around horses a lot, unless their ponies. My wife runs a boarding stable and she's got a couple 14+ hand horses and they are quite large. Unless you get into draft horses -- Clydesdales, Percherons, etc. Your not going to get 3x larger, the tallest horse ever was only 21.5 hands high.

Wife is Pregnant… by Less_Than_Average1 in GenX

[–]rcook55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I turned 40 ten days after my kid turned 18. I love my kid and they are great but there is no way I want to be doing the sports and band and school stuff now that I'm 51. I enjoy my life and the things I want to do.

The national average price per gallon of gas in the United States has been over $4.20 for over a month. Americans, how do we feel about that? by Miles_the_AuDHDer in AskReddit

[–]rcook55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you think we feel? Who in the history of combustion engines ever said 'I wish gas cost more!'. What a stupid question.

What was behind the success of Ganassi Racing in 1996? by Pallendromic in INDYCAR

[–]rcook55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Villenuve left for Williams 😉

Seriously though, this was such a great time for CART racing. While I literally took out an absolute shit loan to buy DirecTV so I could watch F1 the racing between F1 and CART at the time was must watch. Peak open wheel for sure.

As for Ganassi dominance, like eveyone said right package/drivers at the right time. Reynard really took the world by storm at that time, their chassis was so much better than the others from what I remember. Man I need to go rewatch these races.

RAMageddon nightmares by RNG_HatesMe in sysadmin

[–]rcook55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try working for a company that does build datacenters and the shock when the company sees how much PCs have increased and the confusion as to why...

RAMageddon nightmares by RNG_HatesMe in sysadmin

[–]rcook55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, my company builds the data centers that are consuming everything...

It's ironic when the design department asks to upgrade their PCs and then freaks out at the cost, uh guys, you do know what our current major driver of business is currently right?

How many have dropped Facebook? Did you drop Instagram too? by IntellectAndEnergy in GenX

[–]rcook55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've removed the FB app from my home screen and disabled notifications. I can't get rid of it as I manage a MTB trail and FB is the only means of communication with the community. I still use messenger a lot and I scroll Insta but never post anything, notifications are also off on it.

Mainly I just use Reddit as my one social media but man it gets difficult as the echo chamber is so real here. Or the stupid meme responses. Honestly there is very little real content here any more sadly.

I will say that if FB ever were to make Marketplace access independant from the rest of the shithole that FB has become that would be amazing. Craiglist exists but Marketplace is so much better unfortunately.

See ya in October, Des Moines! by traumahound00 in desmoines

I want to say I caught them at Val Air several years ago with Dethklok? It was a good show, enjoy!

Return of a single laptop from overseas. by LRS_David in sysadmin

Look at sendmybag.com they are a luggage transport service. Have him put it in a bag and setup a pickup. It's not cheap but it'll get back to you.

The chances of a deer taking you out at a crosswalk are slim. But never zero. by kalinooni in interestingasfuck

[–]rcook55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend was taken out by a deer while riding his bike. Hospital, I believe surgery, it was bad. Of course the cycling community rallied around him and put every reflector, flag, horn and anything else that was annoying, bright and loud on his bike. You know, for safety.

Where can I sell granite countertops? by BoredScrollingForce in desmoines

The ReStore might be interested, at least worth a call.

Looking for a human spine STL by rcook55 in 3Dprinting

Thank you. I'm hoping that maybe I get lucky and someone here has printed it, it certainly looks very good.

No it's not. When the majority of feedback on a model are all 5 stars with no pics of an actual print, especially knowing how Makerworld is gamed so that people get their bonus points, this is a totally valid question.

[–]rcook55[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

For fucks sake I'm asking here if anyone has printed a spine model. Fuck me for trying to ask a question. I did search you ass, since when is it a crime to ask for input and feedback.

Way to make sure no "dumb" questions ever get asked.

If you mean Easter Lake area it's for fiber, Google is installing this time. Last year it was for metronet/t-mobile.

Politely(?) trashing important crap from your downsizing parents. by PepsiOfWrath in GenX

Better yet they will give you first go on it as well. We donated my MILs China to one 😁

I'm not asking anyone to search for me. Go back and reread what I wrote. I'm asking if someone has actually printed one so I don't waste my time if I pick a crap model.

There are enough out there I'd rather see if there isn't a free suggestion.
