I just started a new job. A mix of JS, WASM (C++) and Python. It's been a blessing to help understand and explain an unfamiliar codebase to me. Sometimes the analysis isn't deep enough but I've been able to create enough guid

I bought a Creality Ender 3 V2 a little over a year ago, spent 6 months printing things and fiddling with it and finally had it with how primitive it is. If you have the time and patience for tinkering, the Voron is great. I built a Voron

You can't imagine how empowering it is to be able to say "No." to food. I stopped eating dessert except once a week. I can be in the company of other people and surrounded by delicious food and not feel the compulsion to eat

I've been on tirzepatide (Mounjaro) for 4 months now. I'm down 13% of my body weight. I realized that frequent cannabis consumption interferes with the weight loss, so I've kicked the habit from daily to occasionally on weeke

I think I remember seeing calls for pieces of this on the SomethingAwful forums back in the day, it was a collaborative art piece. There was a template with specific frames where the ball enters and leaves each square and it was up to forum

Before using a password manager (1Password), I often reused passwords out of convenience in order to not have to remember a lot of them. After switching to a password manager, every password is a strong randomly generated password, I get au

I've soured on Musk, but I still love driving my Tesla. I enjoy it enough that I find excuses to take it on night time trips with no destination in mind, driving for the sake of driving. I've only had it for 4 months, but I'm

I didn't particulary find RimWorld to be very fun, but I did end up enjoying Oxygen Not Included, which is a side-scrolling 2d colony management sim that's a bit less serious and way more quirky.

I actually got a 10% raise which management was all to happy to say was the best thing they had ever done for a single person. The problem is 10% is nothing if your base pay to begin with was 50% below market rate.

I left a job a few years ago and put the entire management on blast because they could not fathom the singular reason for leaving was poor compensation. A few months later some former coworkers told me that everyone in the company got a sur
