I don't like how casually people use things that were once meant to be initiated and encompassed at a desk, now just on the fly when they're picking up frozen pizzas. I still think being online happens at my desk with my computer. 'Internetting' away from your desk should be called something else.

So what you're saying is that I can go fuck myself? Right. That makes sense.

This is my first 'professional' graphics card, a Quadro FX 1000. It was a hell of a render station at the time. My first card was an MX420, which was terrible, but once I started doing actual freelance jobs and picking up professional gigs in college I needed this guy

You're not disabled, you were just temporarily-abled! For some people it comes and goes. I guess it just depends how you look at it... Anyway, hooray for us disabled people!

This is the "I'm Eggscellent Net Hat", it's a reward for finishing the The Eggscellent dish on #RegularShow. If you haven't seen it, definitely do. My wife found it and knew my office needed a bit of motivation. She will constantly "Raise the Steaks".

I was trying to do this at the other place but I'm going to start over. Here's some cool stuff from my collection of toys, art, music, and what not...

I forgot to about that design you did, but I started to throw together a 3D model based on it. I didn't get real far as you can see. My hands haven't been working great lately but I'm hoping I can get back to it! Love your original design!

This is the first 3D print I've done with TPU filament on my Prusa Mini. I'm actually super surprised how well it turned out without smaller test print, all the settings were built into Prusaslicer and it killed it the first time around!

First print was a great success! I can't believe the Prusa XL was ready to go right away!

Got me a Prusa XL last week!
