Blending hot liquids requires care because turning on and heating the air causes the lid to blow off. Most blenders are limited by physics. Vitamix have an analog dial for speed which allows you to heat the air more slowly. Turning off bubb

Something I don’t see mentioned that’s been helpful to me is having an agent add strict type safety to my typescript. I avoid the use of “any” type and berating an agent to “make it work” really opens my eyes and forces me to learn how adva

I started 3D printing about 10 years ago with the first Taz machines and they left me a broken, broken man. Fast forward to a month ago, I bought a Prusa Core One, loved it, and then bought a XL 5-toolhead. It's been so much fun using

Oh, I did... but it was more of a parsing error. Prompt: I have padlocks that I use to lock up my tools, or my bike, etc. The problem is, I often go several months without using some of them and forget the combinations. So, I decided to wri

We will see. A degree is just the ends to justify taking math classes. My goal is to learn, if they give me a degree that’ll be a bonus!
