Gimme da Sun!!!

If this were ULPT, I would recommend the annoyatron. Hide it well and see how long it takes to break him. https://annoyatron.us/

But it is not, so I think others would have better solutions.

American here, currently sitting in the AFT cafeteria of a Norwegian cruise ship just off the coast of France. Saved for years to go on this once in a lifetime cruise.

I grew up on the edge of poor. Had basics and never went hungry, but our summer vacations were camping because it was cheap. Never went to Disneyland until I was in the Army and could afford it myself.

While I agree that going abroad is definitely eye opening, even traveling to other states increases your open-mindedness. I joined the Army and was stationed in Alabama, Georgia, Alaska and Washington. Going back home and reuniting with friends who never left the state or even left the general area was kind of shocking. Never being exposed to an even slightly different environment really showed in their attitude.

While I was in the Army, I was sent to Missouri and a couple of other states I can’t remember right now for a month or so for training or field problems, and short trips show how even though I was still in the same country, there were definitely societal, geographical and political differences in each place.

Expanding that to traveling other countries was also eye opening. The Army sent me to Thailand for a month. My current job sent me to Australia and S. Korea and a couple of other states for 2-3 weeks at a time. I liked hitting the tourist spots, but I really enjoyed just watching people wherever I am. Once you see that (for the most part) people are people, you start to get that just because someone’s idea is different than yours, doesn’t mean it’s wrong, it’s just different.

Is it a champagne flute?

Wrong color but similar shape of the stem.

I have a 3D printer, so I went with these and a drawer to organize.

I mean, we exist.

There’s dozens of us! Dozens!

I spent less than an hour to design these guards for our stove, and most of the time was on how it looked. I wanted it to be functional, but not look too out of place.

Thank you! I was either going to find it here, or post it myself.

Yeah. I thought there were like 1 or 2 for each credit reporting agency, but noooope! They each have a bunch of them.

C’non, enough…

I just happened to screenshot the metrics for the Trans Union “Vantage 8” score a while back. Hopefully this helps someone understand what is needed to improve their score. I am not a fan of the whole thing, but since I don’t have a choice, I have to participate until it can be dismantled.

There were / are a couple of subreddits, 3dprintmything and another I forgot. Maybe there is a similar community on Lemmy?

This is the shift pattern of the army deuce and a half trucks we had when I was in the army. Reverse was in kind of a weird place, until you got stuck in the mud and needed to rock back and forth, then it was nice.

Probably also paid for WinZip as well.

Boeing uses CATIA for CAD and ENOVIA for their CAD parts data repository.

CATIA let’s you pull the trigger. When it shits the bed, you get a little window with “Click OK to terminate” and you can’t do anything but click OK.

Didn’t save for the last hour? Too bad. Better luck next time.

Close. The good ones are separated and usually sold in smaller lots by manufacturer, and go for a lot more (as you would expect) than these.

Here is a 25lb lot of Swiss Army Knives that is at $900 with 3 hours to go.

If they are really valuable and think they will get more than $100 or so, they sell them individually.

Huh. I’ve only heard about it once or twice. I guess I’ll have to check it out. Thanks.
