you dadded your dad. i hope he realizes he got dadded, hehehe.

i can remember my dad calling our PC “the nintendo” then i was growing up, and that irked me every time, heheheheh.

as someone who has never eaten ethiopian food, you made me want to eat ethiopian food <3

this sounds great : D

american here. we definitely have 3 distinct categories of food that are “proper” for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. there is some overlap, but its culturally obvious which foods are for which meals (it doesnt seem weird to me, but i can see how that is weird to everyone else).

my wife doesnt like breakfast foods and eats things like instant ramen and a coke for breakfast - this is considered very strange here. i still think its weird, and we have been together for 18 years, heh.

edit: oh, lol… i didnt answer the question. breakfast is my favorite meal. biscuits & gravy and breakfast burritos are my favorites <3

i am unfamiliar with the printer and parts you are talking about, and am not sure which CAD program you use, so this may be irrelevant - i apologize if so, but the question is vague enough to warrant at least a little help if i can give it.

i use openscad for cad modelling. multiple files can be imported there and moved around. little pieces can be added between them if you require more attachment points than what is available (like if its connecting two roundy bits, etc).

what do you foresee as a problem with combining these two things in CAD?

i really want to like total war, but it just isnt for me :(

i do play a lot of tactics and strategy games tho <3

i usually complain to the wife when horrible tactics are used in medieval battles.

like… why is everyone always doing a full frontal assault, have the wrong weapons, not use fire appropriately, never flank, use cavalry inappropriately…

miltary tactics in movies is usually abhorrent.

a low level language that has really nice features when compared to c and c++, but honestly i find it difficult to read. probably my lack of experience with it, tho.

if a bug arises from using proton, it would cause the same issue for users that are forced to use proton.

just click the button that builds for linux. build for as many platforms as you can. if you cant fix all of the bugs due to time, then you’ll become a better programmer for your next game and not make thise same mistakes <3

train on media that is publicly owned. if there isnt enough of this, then join the fight to end the ridiculous timeframe that material remains copyrighted.

fool me, fool me; go on and fool me

i have a 3 monitor setup for work machine and a 49" 32:9 ultrawide for my home machine. i like them both because of the things i do on them.

my home rig is regularly for gaming. a single, large, high ppi, high refresh rate, ultrawide monitor is amazing for a gaming-first setup. there is flexibility for off-work productivity here where i split 1/3x3, 2/3-1/3, or even 2/3-2/3 with 1/3 overlap.

my work rig is regularly for programming, communication (chat, video conference, email, ticket comments), time management, word processing & diffing, testing web clients… i have to do a lot of things. the structured 3-monitored layout is great for me to keep everything in its place and flip between them frequently.

both multi-monitor and single-monitor setups have their benefits. all that matters is that you choose according to your preference and expected use-case.

i, too, have a friend that in all-in for elon and made tons of money with tesla stock; he is an elon and trump supporter, etc.

we talk politics regularly, and almost always disagree in these conversations. it can get a little heated sometimes, but we are pretty good at catching ourselves… after all, politics are all opinion-based, so our politics being on the opposite ends if the spectrum are understandable.

if talking politics is too much for the friendship to handle, then i recommend talking about it less (even though it can be difficult when every other story in the news is about it rn). if he brings up a political point, tell him you would rather not talk politics (i say this to my father whenever he comes over, too; its a lot easier to enjoy someone’s company through an enforced facade)

i had one of these when i was growing up - it was awesome.

now i am 40 and fondly remember that one while using the shitty wooden stick with a rubber dome.

where did you find this beauty?

my father was this way - i didnt get to know the real him until i was in my mid-late 20’s. though i think its great that he can be himself again, there is a bit of resentment that i didnt mean enough to him to stop working for once and interact with me on a human level while growing up.

we arent super close, but we are friendly to each other. having slightly less money by working less and spending more time with the kid would mean you have to find some free things to do… #worth

there has been a meme making the rounds about “if you work really hard this could be you” with a picture of a gravestone saying you worked hard. dont be that guy <3

i turn my pc off when im not using it to save power; i thought this was normal.

this was the google agreement; android.

“Waltzing”. cool people dance to 3:3

turning on a phone for the first time after purchase forces contractual agreement to be tracked. there is no decline button (at least on my motorola razr+ 2023). i hate this world.

Halo 5 whole house filter. it then goes through the filter in my fridge because its colder than the tap (lasts forever now, tho)
