I picked up 3D printing and started with the super cheap Ender 3. I keep chasing it and got there... The journey was annoying but I keep having to re-calibrate and I'm just too busy to keep fixing it.
I've used several mice across nearly all major brands. Maintaining four home office locations and a few for using while on work trips. Confortable and reliable.
Only issue my wife has is hitting the side button on a web browser and losing saved work via portal apps. I've never hit a side button by mistake.
I've written off family members due to toxicity and swore off having kids (before the economy went into the shitter).
Wife also doesn't want to have kids herself, but loves children. If we want kids I'm going to adopt in a few years. Late 40s early 50s. Aiming to provide a good home and support to one or two in need.
When I went to the dentist and they were taking molds of my teeth I shared that I was a 3D printing hobbyist and wanted to know a bit about the process. I always start with an apology "sorry I'm curious by nature as an engineer but could you share details on X?"
Dude was the owner and gave me a full run down. He even told me about the time he got a free rental for a crown 3D printer to have on site. It was stupid expensive but it was free to use for a few months. Then pay to keep it. Get crowns in hours instead of days. He returned it because labs do much better work.
I don't get why she didn't just take the complaint and move on. He wasn't pestering her. I feel like the group probably pressured her into action based on his perspective.
IMO dude shouldn't have bothered. Just keep the memory and move on.
Its a shame we live in an age where you can't compliment anyone anymore without being attacked.
I bet if an attractive 20s dude said the same line (minus the old fart bit) and walked away it wouldn't have gone down like that.
I had one of these fridges. The pumps even got an extended warranty since they failed so often. Mine died on year 6 of the 5 year standard MFG and it still got fixed for free because of the class action lawsuit.
By extension. Going out for drinks. Spending 5x for alcohol served to be briskly by someone overworked and tip them...
Maybe I'm just cheap but I'd rather just drink at a friends house or my own home.
This way I'm safer and can pass out if I need to.
