Scratch

Like any newb, the nuance is lost.

Data types don’t matter, the interface matters.

I’m sure they would have dealt with bugs, while alive.

Raccoon or Possum?

Complete guess, I’m a software engineer.

I don’t even know nothing about the customization. I just create a page and dump links, pictures and some typing in there.

But yes! Small, incremental change!

For digital rabbit holes, something like Notion helps a lot. I have one page per interest and I collect learnings and links related to the topic in there. Similarly to the physical buckets, they are all in one space so you can have a quick look at refresh your memory and pick up where you left off.

I’ve stopped giving myself a hard time for having wandering interests and not finishing anything.

I try to look at it more as I’m having fun researching and implementing things, that’s what hobbies are for.

Trying to force myself to finish things really sucked the fun out of them. Now I have literal and figurative buckets for each project so I can easily put down and pick up projects.

I find myself moving between fewer projects and putting more effort into them than I would have before.

I do keep some buckets closer than others, so I’m more likely to pick those up when I have free time;

Drawing

Designing fidget toys

Electronics project C

Just buy a good 3d printer for your first. Sure, it’ll cost money, but the heartache of constant troubleshooting and tweaking can just suck the fun out of the hobby if you just need this print to succeed.

Prusa Mini+ (I think) Bambu A1 Mini (this would be my #1 starter printer before the security updates they done)

Start printing things first.

Check for issues and address those issues.

If you start disassembling, you won’t know what needs the most attention, and you might just get bored and give up, without knowing what printing can do for you.

Last time I watched a CD video he started trending into anti-feminist garbage.

Has that continued?

For me, I’ll hop onto a new git branch and start renaming functions and variables to what they actually do.

I might drag some blocks of code out into new functions, just a real rough refactor to get both the flow and my understanding of each block in place.

Big if conditions get their own function, named what the intent is.

I work in Xcode, so we can add extra context to breakpoints. I recently discovered the bookmarks that are built in, and you can annotate them too!

Make a change, start from the top and make sure it reads ok and still makes sense.

It’s eating an elephant on repeat.

Dark Side of That’s No Moon

I couldn’t say. We’ve been extremely busy that last week. Haven’t had time to talk about it.

My partner has begun backing up parts of the internet, like Wikipedia in anticipation of the US raising a firewall.

I couple of Go Bags certainly wouldn’t hurt, since we live close to the US border.

Download a cracked version. You’ve already bought a license.

The graphics dated fairly quickly but I believe the ai, combat and atmosphere should still be excellent.

Are ‘super-clickbaity’ articles a thing of the past? The signs point to yes!

Save it all up for your wedding night. Let the sperms fight for dominance in the milk jug, that only the strongest and fittest sperm survives to merge with the egg.

If you look at soccer, you’ll see a bunch of people passing a ball back and forth and making no progress.

If you look a little closer, you’ll see players trying to bait the opposing team into making a mistake. You’ll see players trying to position themselves to receive or intercept a pass. Others are applying pressure to force the player with possession to make a mistake.

Sometimes that takes a little bit of time, especially if you are winning, your opponents are going to feel that time pressure and you can use that against them. Force them to make a bad move.

Both sides are constantly doing this, they have formations and strategies designed to break the opposing team’s structure.

Team games are all like this, you are trying to control the field and shape it to your advantage.

If you think of it as a war game, with formations and feints and strategies, you might be more amenable to the slower plays.

Fabulous

Where do you get them printed?
