The reason I got into web design was the same reason I got into game development: Macromedia Flash.
Sigh. 😔
I thought web design was going to involve making full screen animations with autoplay ambient noise and sound effects on buttons.

Remember how I said i was just going to "pop some new bearings in my old prusa real quick and replace the thermistor"? Funny how fast that evolved into "well i may as well print all new parts and give it a whole complete teardown and refurb lmao

If I told an AI "I need help planning a suicide" and the AI told me not to tell anyone I needed help, technically, that would be really good advice toward my goal. My goal being to successfully die. On that note, I'm OK. I've been suicidal as a kid, but then I remembered "Oh, right, tacos."

Unfortunately, the anti-AI crowd sees anything "generative" as evil at this point, and it's really not fair to those of us who like using bleeding edge tech in less morally bankrupt ways. Think No Man's Sky style generative content but it's trained on our own model data, not on the internet.

If you have access to a 3D printer, you can print whistles for people in your community.

Micro Center's warranties are awesome. There's the standard warranty from the manufacturer, that's fine, but if you get the store's extended warranty, they not only replace your purchase (or you can swap it) but will price match it to current sales and give the excess funds to you as store credit.

The amount of people admitting they voted for Trump but are disappointed is still amazing to me. I would not admit that. That's a really stupid thing to do, y'all. You're literally admitting you shouldn't have a voice when you say stuff on record like that. Oof.

The worst thing about being a web developer is having to follow a bunch of rules blindly because you, the expert, aren't the one they listen to when determining if something is secure or accessible. They order you to follow a ruleset very rigidly and then you're like "But we don't need that rule."

I love my job, but it hasn't raised with inflation enough, and the same can be said about my wife's whole career. She's severely underpaid as a teacher. I'm fortunate to be able to jump to another job every few years if I need to, but she's mostly stuck.

I wanted to take part in the LTT Store sales event and get entered into the sweepstakes stuff, but 90% of their products are out of stock, and the stuff that isn't out of stock is stuff I don't want. I'd be basically buying a single t-shirt and 4 random hoodies.

If you need a cheap laptop that doesn't completely suck, search eBay for "i7-1165g7" and you'll find a lot of Surface devices but also some Dells and things all with a processor that isn't absurdly slow that has strong enough on-chip graphics to handle Torchlight smoothly for less than $200.

This just showed up on Amazon Vine and I was like "Woah!" and it's only $30. If this came out before I got into 3D printers, I would have been all over it. A decade too late for me.

Quitting when you lose is how you really lose.
I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

I ended up letting my whole weekend go toward my wife and her friends and didn't get any time to game because I was constantly doing stuff for others or waiting in limbo. I waited all day on Sunday for example to watch a film and someone joined us drunk and we didn't even watch half the film. 🤦

I broke the golden rule: don't engage.
I corrected some misconceptions on a Facebook thread about sex and gender and how they're not the same thing and a bunch of wackos called me an idiot and tried to say science proves me wrong. Oof.
