What was your childhood nickname? My folks called me "Bubba." Except the 1 time I came home from school after discovering that my favorite letters were T&C. Then they called me "trash can." That was short lived after I discovered my NEW favorite letters F&B.

One of the weird things about being a magician is nobody knowing about the work you're doing. If you work hard enough at it, nobody knows how hard you're working.

Trying to get into The Dead. Ali has always liked them, and I don't mind them, but I don't "get" jam bands. The Internet says I should start with live albums like Europe 72.
I've listened to live shows and so far, it's tough for me. A lot of noodling, chatting between songs.

My thing about not 3D printing products for sale is something I stand by, but reading replies, I recognize that it’s not a hard/fast rule. The product that I bought that made me say it didn’t disclose it was 3D printed and the part that was a heavy-use item - not a piece of art.

If you are selling a product, it should not be 3D printed 3D printing is great for one-off personal projects and prototyping. Find a plastics molder and have it made professionally. When I buy something and part or all of it is 3D printed, I feel ripped off.
