I like to tinker, my brother just wants something that works. I built a Voron, he got Prussa. We are both happy with our 3d printers.

What about phrasing it so the effort isn’t on you, but them?

“I’ve never really felt comfortable around [describe group]”. This way, the failure isn’t yours to get comfortable, but on them to mwake you comfortable.

Apparently I learned that as I read that just now.

I like puting my prototype code in namespaces like “garbage” “trash” “throwaway” etc to emphasize how unfit for production. I’ve no concrete evidence of it’s success, but I like to think it dissuades other team members from using it where they shouldn’t.

I like pronouncing numpy so that it rhymes with lumpy just to make people uncomfortable.

Fully agree.

Isn’t a raptor a bird?

Though I see your point, I’d rather have less Jesus in our government, not more.

True, but I can share it with friends who already think I’m weird because I use Linux and they can have another reason why they think I am weird.

Can I just be anti-using-guns-to-dispute-opinions?

Am I the only person who was confused because I read penises instead of pennies the first time?

I wonder what Freud would say about this.

I built a computer last year. Parts were sourced from Newegg, microcenter, and Amazon.

Baking Carrot Biscuits != Taking Care of Business

JanSport backpacks. My wife had the zipper wear out on the backpack she has had for ~20 years. She contacted the manufacturer. They don’t make that particular bag anymore so they just sent her a comparable equivalent with almost no questions asked.

The one I got has metal gears. They are the main point of frustration. They don’t really make a full rotation without getting bound/jammed up. Slow, fast, or somewhere in-between, it always felt like I was fighting to get the only moving parts to move.

I’ve no problem with simple. I like simple. For me, this thing isn’t simple, it’s frustrating.

Maybe I just got a bad one. A lot of people seem to have an appreciation for it that matches yours. I’d be inclined to exchange it for a different one. Sadly, Amazon refuses to accept it as a returnable item.

It’s a bit of a forced joke, but whenever possible, I like to use “X-crete” as the verb to replace “tweet”.

Have you tried No Undies Mondays?
