fleet tangle
#

Yeah, how would you play any games?!

flint pier
#

Xbox kinect

#

proud jay
#

#

why are people working on their days off

#

whackos

flint pier
#

Some of us enjoys work. πŸ™‚

soft night
#

proud jay
flint pier
#

Sometimes it is forced upon us, like weekends or too much saved uo vacation days.

proud jay
#

mate

#

I think you have an obsession

#

I'm getting paid for 38 hours a week, not doing any more lmao

flint pier
proud jay
#

have you been doing this work for long?

flint pier
#

Been a system developer in c# and java for about 16 years. Did some Ruby and PHP for 5 years before that. Been programming for 35 years or so on my free time.

#

Game programming has only been a hobby, but we did a small VR game in Unity at work to use at trade shows a few years ago.

proud jay
#

damn, still being obsessed after so long

#

impressive

#

I like programming, but not to an extent I would sacrifice my free time for it

#

especially not to work on projects that are not mine πŸ˜„

flint pier
#

But your free time is the best time to fool around with stuff and do some actual learning! πŸ™‚

proud jay
#

yes, but not on work project lol

primal summit
#

work projects are where the interesting problems occur

proud jay
#

ok, but those I can tackle during work hours

fleet tangle
primal summit
#

you distinguish between the two?

fleet tangle
#

Interesting may be frustrating, but frustrating doesn't mean interesting.

#

Definitely a venn diagram type situation.

primal summit
#

the only real distinction I make is between interesting and tedious

#

something not working right? interesting
not sure how to do a thing? interesting
have to spend a week verifying everything from start to end to find a tiny problem? tedious

#

tedious is the price one pays to work on interesting

fleet tangle
#

Code inspection not working property -> frustrating

proud jay
#

user changes their mind every 14 seconds -> frustrating

thin aspen
carmine frigate
#

well thats kinda true... when i went too the gun guy that does stuff like that re refused to poor lead down the barrel

#

so he welded a pin in it instead or something

#

would have kept it intact but dont have a hunting licence

proud jay
carmine frigate
#

no it just stands in a corner

proud jay
#

have you tried burning it yet?

carmine frigate
#

i dont burn everything πŸ˜›

#

its got a bit of a story... i believe it belonged to some german lord or sumthing at one point

#

some1 with a lot of money.. thats for sure

#

my great grmp traded his modern gun for this thing so it was allready old back then

#

double barrel with 2 triggers.. i have no idea if thats common tho

You can see the key mechanism turning into charcoal in that snippet, it's sick

carmine frigate
#

all my mice are a tad on the small side

proud jay
#

maybe you just have big hands

#

or bad mice

#

my mouse is quite the chonker

carmine frigate
#

i do have big hands

proud jay
#

it's a vertical one

you know what they say about people with big hands...

they need big gloves

Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer or whatever it was called, was the gold standard for CS in the olden days

you could print 3d letters on paper

but why

noble plaza
proud jay
#

I made a print already that shows my name and if you tilt it 45 degrees it shows my gf's name

noble plaza
#

I inscribed skog into the 'nameplate' template STL file for a SteelSeries mouse

carmine frigate
#

you could print a piano

proud jay
#

on it

noble plaza
#

You wouldn't download a guitar?!

proud jay
#

I've actually seen printed violins and guitars

noble plaza
#

Strings are easy to tune, if the dimensions are OK-ish. At least I can vouch for guitar. Piano... Fucking yikes

carmine frigate
#

you could print a stint

noble plaza
#

Nah I'm too skint

proud jay
#

wtf is a stint

carmine frigate
#

stint is a dutch thing to transport ur kids or something

#

a lot of kids died in it

proud jay
#

like a car

#

but a bike

carmine frigate
#

Stint is de merknaam voor een elektrisch aangedreven voertuig van het bedrijf Stint Urban Mobility dat is ontworpen voor het vervoer van kinderen. Er zijn ook modellen voor andere doeleinden, bijvoorbeeld pakketbezorging. Door hun geringe afmeting en gewicht kunnen Stints op plaatsen komen die met een auto lastig bereikbaar zijn.

Electric scooters got limited to 13km/h on footpaths here lol, I (and most reasonable in-shape people) can easily sprint way faster. WTF

carmine frigate

ebikes 25km/h here

i got 1 , love it

noble plaza

Yeah 25 on the road, 13 on footpaths/ bike paths here πŸ€”

Scary shit was in Zurich you have to ride them on normal roads, a policeman told me that and I was terrified initially haha

proud jay
carmine frigate

here if a car hits a bike its basically allways at fault

thin aspen

I thought that was everywhere

USA has bikes?

yeah, it's kinda a big thing here

noble plaza
carmine frigate
#

lol NY city delivery guys

thin aspen

and crackheads

carmine frigate
#

thats some crazy shit

proud jay
#

I've seen something that bike delivery guys are a real danger in australia as well

thin aspen
#

Well everything in australia is dangerous

noble plaza
#

I almost cleared one out because I was going through a green light and didn't check the turning lanes. They just are aggressive on foopaths, use roads while not following traffic lights and all of that.

#

People in cars get pissed at them and I've seen one swerved off by some raging dude in a pickup (ute). Australia isfun

proud jay
#

wtf is (ute)

thin aspen
#

Unforgiving Truck Enemy

noble plaza
#

It's like a sedan/SUV front - 1 or 2 rows of seats, and then the back is a giant tray

thin aspen
#

pic for reference?

proud jay
#

like a pick up truck?

noble plaza
#

Note the title, even Merc calls it that

noble plaza
proud jay
#

did you just call me an american

#

I'm insulted

thin aspen

USAian*

foggy path
#

That's just a rebadged Nissan anyway

thin aspen

That exactly what I was thinking

proud jay
noble plaza

The one I typically think of is this though -

proud jay

wtf

thin aspen
proud jay
noble plaza
#

It was within the period when Holdens were Aussie still, but now they are some GM/Chevy or something imports

proud jay
#

where the fuck does ute come from

noble plaza
#

utility, I believe

proud jay
#

weird australians

#

how many kangaroos fit in one ute

thin aspen
#

How much horsepower does one of those things have

#

And do people put huge wheels on them and lift the frame?

noble plaza
#

Holden is a normal old V6. HSV (performance division) is where it gets a bit much, and usually a good sign of someone that drives with a roid rage

noble plaza
#

It's for tradies to lug their tools in usually. Or dogs.

proud jay
#

anyone driving a pick-up truck in a non-professional capacity has issues

thin aspen
#

ute*

noble plaza
#

Everyone here drives SUVs, imagine being hit by something where the bumper reaches your rib cage. Fuck off

thin aspen
#

but also, there are valid reasons to drive one. For instance when you live in america and are tired of sitting in traffic on the expressway

proud jay
#

then you sit in your truck bed?

thin aspen
#

Just drive onto the service drive and take the cops on a highspeed chase.

proud jay
#

can't you do that with a normal car too?

thin aspen
#

You can, but you risk messing up your undercarriage.

#

Don't ask how I know.

noble plaza
#

For an HSV (V8 6.2L):
Power 325kW @ 6000rpm
Torque 550Nm @ 4600rpm

proud jay
#

seems illegal in any case though

noble plaza
#

Oh and I saw an American crime against humanity, the Chevy Silverado

#

What the FUCK is that thing. I'd have to fucking jump into it to even hope to get in

proud jay
#

americans are weird with their cars

thin aspen
noble plaza
proud jay
#

seems like the main purpose of american cars is compensate for penis size

foggy path
thin aspen
#

It's for "offroading" and by off roading I mean driving through craters potholes

noble plaza
#

Jesus fuck, the bumper reaches like ~140cm or so. That's head height for short people, and kids would be absolutely splattered by that thing. WHY

foggy path
#

why not

noble plaza
#

Because I live inner city and fear for my life every time I have to cross the road πŸ™ƒ

thin aspen
foggy path
#

That's why you need to buy your own gigantic truck

#

So you can feel safe again

#

That's probably half the marketing for those things

#

:P

thin aspen
#

I hit a pothole like that one time in a car and my wheel came off in it's entirety

proud jay
#

people buying giant trucks to feel safe are probably causing the most accidents

thin aspen
#

They are, but it's not because of the truck, it's because of how much alcohol they consumed before getting behind the wheel of said truck.

noble plaza
#

Not if you see how tradies drive around here in their death mobiles πŸ˜…

proud jay
#

wtf are tradies

thin aspen
#

tradesmen or something

#

probably

noble plaza
#

Permanent road rage, a pie or an ice coffee occupying one hand, speed limit is merely a suggestion, and overtaking lanes include the oncoming lane. The tradie life

foggy path
#

Here they just drive in vans like any reasonable person would. More space, more secure, probably more aerodynamic :P

noble plaza
#

Tradie is catch all, sparky is an electrician, brickie is a carpenter or whatever it's called, etc

proud jay
#

australians are truly fascinating

thin aspen

thin aspen

proud jay
#

wait, a carpenter works with wood right, why is it brickie

thin aspen

because Carpie sound crazy

noble plaza
#

Yeah sorry, brickie is bricklayer, chippie is... fucking something

proud jay
#

woodchipper?

primal summit
thin aspen
#

Finna call the sparky up and get some wires run through the house

#

Yeah that has a nice ring to it

foggy path
#

a woodchipper is a chippy but that's where you buy your fish and chips from

noble plaza
thin aspen
#

Is a plumber called a plummy?

primal summit
#

trust me, a tall truck can be a necessity

noble plaza
thin aspen
#

Need a dunny diver to come get these pipes together.

#

yeah I like it

proud jay
#

yes, I too buy a giant truck for the 1 time in my life I need to pass through extreme nature

noble plaza
primal summit
#

hauling stuff around a farm or ranch, loading up your cattle that are grazing in the mountains, or even just getting to or from work

soft night
foggy path
#

I know brits call them chippies

proud jay
#

if you use it on a farm that's professional use

#

we covered that

noble plaza
primal summit
#

many people who own them are city dwellers who never go offroad

thin aspen
#

A couple of weeks ago a guy was on a high speed chase with the police in a stolen silverado, he crashed it into a tree and survived. So does that count as professional use.

proud jay
thin aspen
#

He was probably a professional car thief if that helps

No no, if you assimilate you are good to leave. Usually to Bali for whatever reason. It's the boat people that get sent to prison island now. Appropriately called uh, Christmas Island

thin aspen
#

Australian criminals are pretty cutthroat from what I saw in some documentaries.

#

So it makes sense to put them on an island

noble plaza
#

Like bikies? Australia is pretty safe TBH

thin aspen
#

Them and the drug smuggler guys.

noble plaza
#

Christmas Island is for people attempting to get in as a refugee or whatever

proud jay
#

I mean, australia is a prison island

#

or used to be at least

noble plaza
#

Australia is one of the safest countries in the world haha, far cry from its origin story

thin aspen
#

What actually goes on in the outback?

proud jay
#

so safe cause all criminals get murdered by snakes and spiders

thin aspen
#

Is it just a huge desert? or like is there some wild stuff going on?

thin aspen
noble plaza

Literally fuck all, it's dry as a nun's (...)

noble plaza
thin aspen
#

Nice

noble plaza
thin aspen
#

So syphon filter lied to me then, there's no huge government conspiracy

Or Finland. Never trust those guys

Do people go camping in the outback?

noble plaza
#

Apparently we named it after the Dutch word bosch πŸ€”

proud jay
#

that's not a word

#

you mean bos?

#

like forest/woods

noble plaza
#

Yeah, second might be Afrikaans' version

proud jay
#

or maybe very old dutch

thin aspen
#

Here i thought bos meant Brothers Of the Struggle.

noble plaza
#

The Australian and New Zealand usage of the word "bush" for β€œforest” or scrubland, probably comes from the Dutch word "bos/bosch" ("forest"), used by early Dutch settlers in South Africa,

thin aspen
#

this is really a productive morning for me

proud jay
#

really unproductive day for me at all

thin aspen
#

jump in the ute and pull down on some dunny divers and try to make a couple of dollarydoos

thin aspen
#

I'm really just avoiding figuring out how to do this UI stuff

proud jay
#

are you sure this is australian or are people just fucking with you cause you're an immigrant?

noble plaza
foggy path
#

depends on how much they're trying to convince him about drop bears

proud jay
#

are drop bears something like hava?

foggy path
#

The drop bear (sometimes dropbear) is a hoax in contemporary Australian folklore featuring a predatory, carnivorous version of the koala. This imaginary animal is commonly spoken about in tall tales designed to scare tourists. While koalas are typically docile herbivores (and are not bears), drop bears are described as unusually large and viciou...

noble plaza
#

Individual notes also have their nicknames, but I don't know them because I have never handled cash. Just remember checking someone out and they asked for pineapples in change, I was extremely confused

thin aspen
#

Do dingos really steal babies?

noble plaza
proud jay
thin aspen

Aussies have some great slang

I have no idea what a hava is, and neither does wikipedia

I should get truck nuts for my car but I don't have a towing hook

don't need to add any, mine came with balls from the factory

#

Do kangaroos operate in a gang-like fashion?

#

Is the outback basically GTA San Andreas, but for kangaroos?

How to spot a bogan through stickers:

okay new question. What's a bogan

I thought the kangaroos were the defenders of the cities against dropbear invaders

This is more-so for the smaller ones (Joeys), the big ones IDK, not too many in more civilised parts

We had a twat politician that was riffing on that

proud jay

was he suspiciously orange?

noble plaza
thin aspen
#

Gangaroos, gangies for short

noble plaza

He looks like he sells fridges at a store that's perpetually running 50% off

proud jay
#

damn, not even again πŸ˜” austarlia always sucked up to now I guess

thin aspen
#

so that's a yes

noble plaza
#

I like the implication that Australia fucking sucks though, great platform to sell your party on

#

He spent a ton on marketing and absolutely bombed. Who'd have known, we aren't the US (for now)

proud jay
#

why is his shirt so see-through

thin aspen
#

It's the sweat

noble plaza
#

His body is grossly incandescent maybe πŸ€”

proud jay
#

probably just came back from some nice hot and relaxing camping in the outback

thin aspen
#

fighting gangaroos with no shirt on

noble plaza
#

Ha no he's a billionaire, probably just got back from a weekend in Bali or something

thin aspen
#

he look like he stinks

noble plaza
#

Okay for a positive though, every country should do democracy sausages

thin aspen
#

democracy what?

proud jay
#

ok, what's with bali

#

do australians just like ladyboys or something

noble plaza
#

It's not exactly meant to motivate you to vote, that part is compulsory, but when you're in line at voting places, most bigger ones will be making snags (bread, sausage, onion, sauce)

#

Nah flights are cheap, lots of booze and party places, and the 50YO men can find themselves an uh, subservient wife to import

proud jay
#

guess I'm going to bali next week

noble plaza
#

Partying in Australia is regulated as fuck, like no shots past midnight, things like that. It's exxy as as well. Bali is a partying paradise in comparison

thin aspen
#

please say sike

proud jay
#

bro, what is exxy

noble plaza
#

Expensive πŸ˜„

proud jay
#

you need to chat with a dictionary open next to you

thin aspen

I did see something about the cops raiding bars for being open past some time period

proud jay

we had that, but only during covid lockdown

#

now you're free to get waster 24/7 again

noble plaza
#

I tried partying in Amsterdam but crashed at 4AM, barely anyone was leaving at that point. I was shook as

proud jay
#

ok, but everyone in A'Dam is on drugs though

#

unfair

thin aspen
#

is that really what they call it? A'Dam?

noble plaza
#

I mean it was techno. Or tekno, I got confused. Drugs are basically assumed

proud jay
#

A'Dam is just a hip name, I don't think anyone actually uses it though

#

idk

#

I'm not dutch

#

@carmine frigate explain

fun fact techno was invented in the basement of a Detroit home

so do people actually call amsterdam A'Dam?

I know there's a tower

deep glen

R'Dam for rotterdam

What about "The A Deezy"?

noble plaza
#

M'dam for maasdam?

proud jay
#

G'Dam for gadverdam

deep glen

thin aspen

If we just say these things matter of the factly people will think they're not hip. I'm seeing dollar signs people.

noble plaza
#

Guys I have a feeling Luos likes Amsterdam, based on that track's lyrics

thin aspen
#

Luos be out in the A Deezy getting down? I can dig it

foggy path

This is a pretty cool title

#

lol

proud jay
#

wait no

that's rotterdam

Aren't they like half an hour by train?

what does the "dam" part mean

deep glen

yea rotterdam, think its about 45 min away from amsterdam

proud jay
thin aspen

interesting

proud jay

if it weren't for human, the whole of the netherlands would probably be water by now lol

noble plaza
#

NL == Swamp Germany after all

deep glen
#

though I was at a rave, and I kept hearing "amsterdam" in the non-vocal music, and thought I could make a hardcore track actually having someone say amsterdam

thin aspen
#

Are raves the same way Hitman 3 presents them to be?

noble plaza
#

Haha I get that, you think you heard something and then for half an hour you keep hearing it again.

proud jay
#

is it flashing lights with people on drugs and music that only has bass

#

cause then it's accurate

thin aspen
#

That's exactly what it is

#

With a little bit of murder sprinkled in

#

And international crime ring

noble plaza
#

One thing I found super interesting was the tekno guy was playing with beats as a tone - he'd phase to speeds where the beats became a tone by themselves (17Hz roughly, IIRC), which is a super cool effect.

#

And there's always like 3 people absolutely zonked out in the back, that are just standing lifeless but seem to be enjoying it anyway

proud jay

coming down from the drugs

everyone looking like they've been chewing on gum for the last 4 hours at a rave

Stock photos on the front page are corpo as fuck haha, classic

proud jay

of course

#

I have never seen any of those people on the home page

thin aspen

they're remote workers

They look like the most stock photo group of people I've ever seen, it's remarkable.

thin aspen
proud jay
#

like if you go to carreer page, there you see actual employees

noble plaza
#

Oh you guys use C++? Tidy

proud jay
#

c++ and c# for backends

#

we do python for data science

#

and Typescript for frontend

noble plaza
#

I do Python for backends, want to switch back to Go or move to C# but I'm being pigeon holed haha

proud jay
#

python seems like an odd choice for backend imo

#

except for super small scale or prototyping maybe

noble plaza
#

It's pretty popular because of Django providing a lot ofstuff out of the box, like admin panels and the likes

proud jay
#

yeah

#

popular doesn't mean good though

#

javascript is also popular 🀒

#

clearly all frontends need to be rewritten to c++ wasm /s

noble plaza
#

I won't disagree, I got this job basically without effort after I got laid off and was happy enough with that time investment I guess, but next one I'll be pickier

proud jay
#

I though you were working with Go

#

or was that previous job?

noble plaza
#

Pre-layoff team lead worked here before, he referred me in and it was like 80% of the interview process ticked off already

#

Yeah that was a previous job, kinda miss it

proud jay
#

why were you laid off

#

just budget?

#

or did you poop in someones desk

fleet tangle
#

First it was Go, then it was Gone!

noble plaza
#

Investment round got cut in half ~July, and I had trained up mostly on analytics, which was basically being axed almost entirely. They said I could justify staying on but I was like nah fair enough, I've got no commitments and I'd rather people with mortgages and stuff keep that stability

noble plaza
fleet tangle
#

You can have a mortgage one day soon, you know!

proud jay
#

forced to work from home?

thin aspen
#

You know who else was forced to work from?

noble plaza
#

Office is 1000 km away in Sydney haha

ah

thin aspen
#

Khan Soupsouphanousinphone

proud jay
#

idk if I could do 100% remote work

#

I think it would get lonely

noble plaza
#

But yeah I asked if it was Flexport because I saw they were hiring in that industry in Amsterdam, was tempted. Both Go and C# jobs

proud jay
#

the job would have to be really interesting for that

thin aspen
#

Personal preference

proud jay
#

I'm not Dutch 😭

thin aspen
#

I dislike going into office

fleet tangle
#

I dislike having to get up in the morning

noble plaza
#

IK, but close enough hey

proud jay
#

I like the option to work from home 100%, but still have the choice to go to the office if I want to

#

atm we can do 60% home

#

but I live in the street of my office lmao

noble plaza
#

Ideally I'd be like 80% WFH, nice blend of convenience and actual human connections

fleet tangle
#

So you're basically WFH anywya!

noble plaza
#

Or he lives at his workplace πŸ€”

thin aspen
#

That would make him japanese

fleet tangle
#

Lives under his desk.

#

PC for heating.

proud jay
#

I am moving (hopefully soon) though

fleet tangle
#

This is what happens when you pass up jobs to others who have mortgages!

noble plaza
#

Top left link is working well

proud jay
#

we're looking at building a house, can't wait to be poor with the mortgage

thin aspen
#

Being poor is the only way to be, just ask the billionaires

noble plaza
proud jay
noble plaza
proud jay
#

or just the price?

noble plaza
# proud jay why? you like moving?

I don't like Australia, want to move to Europe. Property as an investment does not align with my moral compass, and this city is a humid shithole, miss the snow

proud jay
#

not sure who to tell the site is broken lol

proud jay
thin aspen
#

infrastructure

proud jay
#

have you told your gf that you want to move though

thin aspen
#

But if you do dev they'll pass it back to you

proud jay
#

should really talk about that lol

#

bro, some recruiter just randomly tried to call me

#

wtf

#

who does that

#

pls

#

leave me alone

noble plaza
#

Yeah she knows, which is why she brought up the investment aspect of it. We do have the Olympics coming up, but again IMO houses are to be lived in, not to hang on to and sell for a profit later.

fleet tangle
#

Clearly he saw you really needed a job.

#

Random, but related. I had a fast food delivery guy ask me why I hadn't ordered from the shop for a few months.

thin aspen
#

Maybe investment as in, rent it out and have it as something to increase your assets.

noble plaza
#

I got so much recruiter spam within a week or two of joining, like bruh come on. If I did say I wanted to jump ship that'd be a massive red flag

proud jay
#

I really don't appreciate people randomly calling me

thin aspen
#

That's if you plan on borrowing money from a bank at some point

proud jay
#

if it's a number I don't know, I don't pick up

proud jay
thin aspen
noble plaza
fleet tangle
#

Yeah, maybe if you're a regular, but I wasn't. I'd order from the place every couple of weeks - maybe.

proud jay
#

a house as investment can be interesting

#

but take care of yourself first

noble plaza
fleet tangle
#

It's not like I ordered from them every other day or every week or whatever.

proud jay
#

I could probably buy a small flat to rent out now if I wanted to

#

but then I wouldn't have the money for a house for myself lmao

noble plaza
#

The social cost of housing as an investment is not something I want to contribute to, same reason I declined a ~50% salary bump at a betting firm.

fleet tangle
#

Use the income from the flat to buy the house!

proud jay
#

I think that income would go to paying of the flat

#

for the foreseeable future

#

I will need a house sooner than I could pay of a mortgage

thin aspen
#

You could do the other thing

#

Just "discover" a flat and claim it as yours

noble plaza
#

You can leverage current house as collateral right?

fleet tangle
thin aspen
#

But to be fair there's a lot of extra work that comes with renting something out, and lots of cost associated with it that it's not really something to do unless you plan on being a slumlord.

proud jay
#

I'll buy a home for myself first

#

then we'll see

#

realistically speaking, I would only be able to afford a second home if my father died

#

thanks housing market

#

but then again, I don't need a second home

#

could just invest in stonks instead

thin aspen
#

You could always move to Detroit and buy one of these $1000 houses and just fix it up

proud jay
#

no ty

noble plaza
#

I'm all aboard the stonk train. Down ~20% over a few years πŸ’ͺ

thin aspen
#

It's actually a theme I see amongst europeans in general. They're buying up quite a bit of the west side.

proud jay
#

snow is bae

noble plaza
#

The disconcerting silence of heavy snowfall is honestly magical

proud jay
#

europeans buying up american houses?

#

like to live there

#

or to rent out

#

cause renting in another continent seems like a challenge

thin aspen
#

To rent out.

#

It is for a myraid of reasons, but most of them just buy the house, find reputable contractors to fix them up and then have a property management company do the rest of the work.

#

This was back when you could still buy a house for like $500 dollars (so 6 years ago)

lofty lark
#

The aesthetic of snow? Absolutely love it, best part of living in the woods of a valley. Actually having to deal with the snow (power outages, clearing driveways, waiting for roads to be cleared, driving in it, other people driving in it)? Hate it.

noble plaza
#

Here we just get Chinese people bulk-buying houses and leaving it empty except for the two weeks they holiday here. Investment away from the CCP in case things go south.

proud jay
#

just normal snow, not a giant blizzard

thin aspen
noble plaza
proud jay
lofty lark
thin aspen
#

Or another thing they do is buy plots of land for $100 and then sit on it and sell it back to the city for a profit when they want to build something.

noble plaza
#

Wait did you guys have issues with Chinese people exporting the fuck out of... baby formula too?

#

It was a whole thing with gangs and borderline murders, crazy stuff

thin aspen
#

The baby shortage formula thing here was because one of the companies that makes it had a bunch of bacteria in the silos or something.

#

gang related baby formula racket sounds like an awesome GTA mission

lofty lark
noble plaza
#

From what I know some Chinese gangs poisoned some baby formula, then squashed protests or reforms against that activity, and people stopped buying domestic ones. I worked in the grocery store and there was one brand I wouldn't even unbox, just left the cart on the floor and one person would pop in, text a group, and within minutes there would be like 20 people grabbing their share. (There was a per-person limit of 2)

noble plaza
thin aspen
#

oh okay my bad

noble plaza
# thin aspen this sounds crazy

I never expected to have to make ethical choices in a damn grocery store, but there was one parent who had a kid sensitive to some amino acid or something in most other ones, and only the exported, and one even rarer kind were safe for the kid. I used to hide them in the back for their weekly visit πŸ˜„

fleet tangle
#

You assume they weren't lying!

noble plaza
#

That's true, but they never asked me to hold it, just would come in distressed and desperate to find a tub or two of the good stuff. It was usually out of stock till I voluntarily held it

thin aspen
#

They would have been better off just putting rice in the formula and calling it a day if they kid was spitting up a lot.

noble plaza
#

They could just be exporting it too of course, but 2 a week sounds like chump change, happy to take those odds

thin aspen
#

That's a hungry baby now that I think about it.

#

:thonkingintensifies:

noble plaza
#

Man IDK, I was a uni student not a paediatrician.

#

TBF don't think they came in every week, but were happy to grab 2 when they did come in since it was so rare.

thin aspen
#

You could have been rich if you just joined the chinese gangs, how does that make you feel?

noble plaza
#

It was honestly bizarre how much drama that stupid baby formula caused, like customers would barge into each other to grab boxes, parents would complain to us about the damn Chinese, etc etc. Like mate, I'm just here to stock shelves and listen to music

#

I was definitely offered profit shares for supply or stock notifications haha

proud jay
#

formula for stupid babies?

#

damn, courageous parents to admit that

thin aspen
#

Like it's not funny, but it's funny "listen man I just work here"

noble plaza
#

"Ma'am this is a Woolies"

noble plaza
proud jay
#

no

but not one will admit it

ready to print some shit boys

cursive crypt
#

Watcha gonna print?

#

I mean, apart from shit.

proud jay
#

poop maybe

#

just stuff

cursive crypt
#

What app you are going to use?

proud jay
#

wdym with app

cursive crypt
#

sw app

proud jay
#

for what

#

slicing?

#

modeling?

cursive crypt
#

Yeah, modelling

proud jay
#

the things I'm designing myself are mostly functional so Fusion 360

#

great for parametric stuff

cursive crypt
#

hmm.... so poops

proud jay
#

among other things

#

so far I printed a cat, an octopus, a ghost, a robot, a dragon, a boat, a bookmark, a toy bulldozer, a toolholder for my printer, a fan muffler for the printer, another bookmark, a self watering plant, a fenix, some cool name effect and a headphone holder

cursive crypt
#

huh, quite a few. What is that self watering plant? πŸ™‚

proud jay
#

planter*

#

it's a pot that exists of 2 parts

#

the part with dirt and the plant, it has some holes on the bottom

#

and then a reservoir part

#

you put the one in the other

#

and the plant sucks the water from the reservoir when it needs it

#

and you refill through that part on the right straight in the reservoir

cursive crypt
#

That kinda big object, how big that printer can go?

proud jay
#

22x22x28 cm

#

28 is height

cursive crypt
#

hmm... not bad

#

Maybe you can stitch stuff later.

proud jay
#

definitely possible

#

there's a guy printing a full t-rex skeleton lol

#

all in parts

lofty lark
flint pier
#

Print a functional pendulum clock.

proud jay
#

no

#

just the dirt in the water

#

idk how plants do their shit

lofty lark
#

Oh the dirts in the water? I thought you like, had the dirt sitting above the water and was greatly confused xD

flint pier
proud jay
#

it's like this

lofty lark
#

Ooooo that makes a lot more sense. Pretty cool that works

proud jay
#

yeah works surprisingly well

#

dirt is constantly wet

#

it's gonna be weird to start printing stuff in non-grey lol

lofty lark

not my pic, but too lazy to go take a pic

fleet tangle
#

That's come out a lot smoother than I remember my prints being!

proud jay
#

yeah, it prints pretty nice by default my printer

cursive crypt
#

hmm... kinda good resolution

#

Can you mix colors?

proud jay
#

hmm

#

kinda

#

it's hard though

#

you have to add a stop command in the generated code, take out the filament and put new one in and then continue

#

there are printers with dual extruders though if you're into that shit

#

of course if the print is multi part you can print both parts in a different color

fleet tangle
#

Some printers have multiple filament heads too

proud jay
cursive crypt
#

yeah, I want a house

proud jay
#

3d printed houses exist

flint pier
#

I would be VERY impressed if they could 3D print with concrete and NOT have any supports for the windows, doorways, and that roof overhang. πŸ˜„

lofty lark
#

that 3d printer must be massive

proud jay
flint pier
#

Not with that attitude...

proud jay
#

you can print without supports

#

with a normal printer

#

by moving the base plate around

#

but of course you can't really move the ground of earth

proud jay
lofty lark
#

Yeah that's massive in my book ZebWoah

flint pier
#

My little M3D printer have managed to print some stuff without supports. πŸ™‚
No moving baseplate.

It's always a gamble, but with the right speed and temperature settings it can be done.

#

And not long overhangs. A couple of CM is usually ok, but as I said it's a gamble.

Banana is definitely an odd choice.
