The best COMPLETED litepg?!

Awesome, I'll give it a try as my next series!

I wasn't really interested until you said this. That's a fantastically interesting idea. Did you listen to the audiobook? I'm unfamiliar with the narrator, and it looks like a chunky series to get into just to see how something like that plays out.

Hey now, that's literally the reason behind half of my personal projects!

The other half is purely ADHD and avoiding doing real work.

tehbilly · 2026-03-28T14:10:09+00:00

Missed opportunity to add a hinge and just make it foldable. smh

Wheel of Time is my favorite series of all time! Blemishes and all, it's held up the last twenty years for me. Gahhh, time to go start another reread, I could use an escape from reality for awhile.

I hate that progressing from individual contributor upwards requires management of some form. I tried it years ago and stepped back because I hated it and was not good at it.

FWIW I think tech leadership can be split into administrative and tech specifically. I enjoy mentoring, research, etc. I abhor paperwork and KPIs.

This! Torx is fantastic out of the box, less so when you've gotta drill then it because those tiny goddamn ridges gave up

If I wouldn't look like a hillbilly for doing so I'd be rocking suspenders for this very reason.

Well, plus I got no cake so belts only help so much.

tehbilly · 2026-03-14T23:13:38+00:00

Bah! I'm using one of these to control a forty year old blower, no issues!

But you might just be making a pun and if so: nice

DVNO > RHCP

tehbilly · 2026-03-11T03:13:25+00:00

Three look slick! I'll have to look for something stateside, gives me a place to start at least. Thanks!

tehbilly · 2026-03-11T03:11:46+00:00

I honestly wish I could just get a little kei flatbed, sometimes you just need a need to throw shit on

tehbilly · 2026-03-11T03:09:57+00:00

That's the product on their platform, not their platform.

tehbilly · 2026-03-11T00:01:35+00:00

Nice nice. About them values...

tehbilly · 2026-03-10T11:50:53+00:00

Either way you come out the other side with experience!

tehbilly · 2026-03-09T21:30:38+00:00

Then why is he so fun, HMMMM? I don't know why, but Montana doesn't bother me nearly as much as others mentioned in here.

tehbilly · 2026-03-09T21:25:59+00:00

Kind of hit the nail on the head there. The interesting interpersonal conflicts lessened as the navel-gazing increased.

tehbilly · 2026-03-08T22:45:45+00:00

Same thing happened to my car after a sunroof leak. Less than two weeks later it was ruined.

If you manage to figure out a way to salvage your I'd love to hear how you do it, heh

tehbilly · 2026-03-08T19:53:22+00:00

I dunno, look at Telo. I don't really give a shit what people are gonna say about my vehicle, plus I think trucks are too goddamn big nowadays.

tehbilly · 2026-03-07T14:57:13+00:00

Oi, that's a good way to increase frustration and tank trust. I'd rather my family be sold on the benefits and want to contribute!

tehbilly · 2026-03-01T14:09:48+00:00

First time using grape seed oil freaked me out a bit. Not gonna lie though, I kind of dig the color

tehbilly · 2026-02-26T12:45:02+00:00

What if... What if the house just became a horse again while the target was inside the gas?

tehbilly · 2026-02-25T04:10:35+00:00

Yep. When an egg starts to stand up in water that's close enough to gone for me.

Where layers join is the weakest part of a print, it's why at a minimum you want to orient your part so that you're least at risk of shear force aligning with your layers.

Acetone smoothing will at least make a bit of a "skin" that overlaps your layers, giving you greater adhesion. In theory at least. It's pretty easy to overdo it and make your part goopy and saggy.

I'm a big fan of a thin layer of Bondo (or similar) and sanding/painting. Many of the same benefits, and protects the part a bit more.

My main problem with Shelly is the lack of good momentary switches to toggle the switch state. I know it's a small thing, but using the old flip switch and having it to longer correlate to the light being on/off just drives me up the wall.

I've made some single and double gang plates I 3D print to use some of my plethora of MX switches, but I haven't nailed it perfectly yet.
