I thought that when I got started, but I really enjoy the building and briefly enjoy the results. Then I’m happy for the owner to take it away while I cross my fingers that it all keeps working.
It’s equal parts problem solving, fine motor skills, and perseverance that keep me working on old cars. That’s why I’m not at a dealership or quick turnaround repair place.
It’s also why I’m poor
I’ve been thinking of setting up a node at my local ski area, both for others to use, but also to make custom timing equipment that can send start and finish messages to the timing computer and keep us from having to haul wires up icy race courses all winter.
I’ve never actually set one up or used one yet though, so it’s probably a few years off.
I clearly remember it, I think you might be my little brother’s age.
I posted a couple things there early on but I’m generally terrible at documenting my work do there’s a decent back log of things I should share.
Thanks for getting that going way back, it was a nice place while it lasted.
365.25*10 would at least get you closer.
Ruby should add 10.years.ago.today
Haven’t seen an open Dairy Queen locally in almost 10 years.
I don’t know about you, but I quit doing that soul crushing work as soon as I could something I really loved.
If you were tall, it was more like an abusive relationship.
It’d smash you in the head, ear or shoulder before hugging you. And if you unhooked the shoulder belt it would yell at you the whole time.
Well we were in a 1990 Accord Coupe at the time, so it would have definitely crushed us.
Probably would be a windshield collision in modern SUVs though.
There were “shadow bands” that looked like wavy ripples starting around then too, and for a few seconds afterward too.
But OP’s point about non-totally is pretty accurate. It’s a little chilly, a bit like overcast, and you can’t look at it without eye protection until totality.
When we were at the 2017 eclipse it was warmer and we watch the bugs come out and birds roost/land on the nearby lake.

Yup moved to moose country later on and are super tall. I skidded to a stop in front of one on a dark night and it was facing away and just looked like a tall person standing in the road.
It looked back at us, then climbed straight up a quite steep embankment into the woods.
The dangers in hitting them is that you knock the legs out from under them and they land on your roof and crush you.
In in the UP, first time hunters often don’t know the difference between caribou and deer.
The supply shops find out when the hunters come back asking for help because the buck they bagged is too heavy to move. (They’re 500 lbs or more instead of the 100-200 lbs of a white tail)
Must be in therapy for self esteem problems.
If the filament is humid enough, sure.

When I was using Ruby (some Rails, but mostly Sinatra, for little web apps and api serving) Laravel was coming up in PHP shops. Which was just trying to be Rails running on PHP from what I could tell.
There were others before that, like CakePHP, but all I remember about that of all the bugs my coworkers dealt with. I was strictly a front end dev back then.
I think upped popcorn still might be cheaper if you have an air popper. Way purest waste plastic and you can make a huge volume of the stuff in just a few minutes.
I know a guy who filled his friend’s Saab with popcorn during a prank war back in the 90s. It kinda ended the whole thing I think, and there was always more popcorn in that poor car.
In printing it’s a little different, but if you need an exact color you can add it to the process, much like adding a varnish or other fancy finish.
Orange was always a problem when I was a designer. It had to be specific, you had to send a Pantone chip along, hope it hadn’t faded or changed color over the years (or buy new ones constantly) and then it still came out different than planned.
