This is my hole

Underpromise and overdeliver.

I was a Webmaster 15 years ago. I learned very quickly not to say how long anything takes.

Qoute 3~5 times the wrench time. Then report when you like.

Might be so. He said it in the first person so it could’ve been BS.

My ex brother in law is a commercial refrigeration tech. He did a emergency call to a restaurant that was losing temp on thier walk in freezer. Loaded with food that needed to be kept under freezing. Time was of the essence or all the food would be tossed due to health codes.

He came out diagnoses it. Qoutes a few grand to fix it. Approved. Then he fixes it in like 15min. Just tightened a single screw.

The owner was pissed he paid a few grand for 15min and a single screw tweak.

Tech looked at him and said he paid for it to be fixed. The fact that the fix was a single screw and which screw needed tweaking was specialized knowledge. He paid for the knowledge not the time.

I took that lesson to heart working in IT or really any field. Even when hiring people to do stuff for me. Sometimes it’s not just the labor it’s also the knowledge.

Strongly agree. As an actor Will Smith always brings some sass to movies. I feel like he would’ve ruined a few scenes. Especially him teasing Agent Smith unnecessarily.

Modding Skyrim is one of my favorite games.

Load game. Load mods. Break game. Repeat until pretty. Finish 10 hours later. Play for 2 hours and drop game.

Security? How much? No. Skip it.

I read a comment on how farmers castrate sheep with thier own teeth. Supposed to be the safest way. Use both hands to hold the legs so you don’t get your face bashed.

Surgical castration

The testicles may be surgically removed. With this method, a sharp knife or scalpel is used to remove the bottom one-third of the scrotal sac. The testicles are removed and the wound is allowed to drain and heal naturally. Sometimes, people use their teeth to remove the tiny testicles. It is essential that proper aseptic technique be used when the surgical method of castration is used.

yeah it’s a thing…

Everyone is talking about getting a fairphone and whatnot but I’m concerned about the open source apk communities shutting down since the market share and interest is killed by this.

I played Overlord 1 when it came out. Loads of fun. Like evil pikmen. The goblins are great with thier “For the masta” and “For me!” When they loot.

If you tried to video call your cat I suspect one of two things would happen.

Either it’s entirely ignored or the cat would knock the camera/tablet off of the table.

Two way pet cams are a thing. You may not be able to text, but you can still stalk and get a bit of long distance affection.

Warning: Do not try this with cats.

This actually happened to me last month. I had to touch code from a previous team/project I was on.

I got the call for a collaboration/consult. I forgot everything about it. Jumped in a meeting next day anyway. We pulled up the code. Everything was documented and I had a section with parameters for a “wish” feature that they actually wanted finally. I pointed it out and told them the needful to finish the feature.

Thank you past me. I’ll have to buy you a drink.

Then I had a nice 5pm Scotch.

Cant beat em. Join em!

Loads of latin countries have tres leches. I prefer the Caribbean ones.

HOT DAMN TIME TO MAKE SOME FLASHBANGS

That’s wild and I’m really glad your buddy didn’t lose his real fork!

“Must be used under adult supervision”

Classic disclaimer

I bet there’s some good threads in RV cars forums for stuff like this.

I didn’t even consider belt driven.

For a use case like this it would be a good use case to do 3D printed casting.

3D print the part. Mold out of silicon. Then make the final part in resin.

Or just buy the real part.

There’s also ways to make plastic parts via injection at home.

I feel like a video of this in action would be classic 2000s internet.
