I have everything I need to build an enclosure for my cheap-ass laser. I have things I want to do with the laser when I can use it without smoking up the house. I have not started on it yet.
I have everything I need to make the rc planes I have been designing. Its all sitting on a shelf waiting for me to do my thing.
One of the things has been waiting for me to do my thing since before I moved.
I'll get to it.
Eventually.
Maybe.
I am well aware. I am also neuro divergent. I am more like the meme, where my wife is neuro divergent in a different way. I literally said I understand that in my first comment.
Under five minutes.
I interviewed, accepted the job offer at the end, showed up for my first scheduled shift and found out my manager wasn't the polite manager I interviewed with.
For the record, I was supposed to start at 9am. It was 8:45 when I walked in.
Manager, literally yelling from about 300ft away: YOU'RE LATE!
Me, confused: I'm 15 minutes early?
Manager: I EXPECT YOU TO BE HERE HALF A HOUR BEFORE EVERY SHIFT, IF YOU'RE LATE AGAIN YOU'RE ON THIN FUCKING ICE
And I turned my happy ass around and walked out.
I don't care if it was some bullshit tactic to "weed out" people, that is completely unacceptable behavior and in my younger years I have gotten into fist fights over someone speaking to another like that.
I had another job inside a week.
I don't care if they had someone to fill my spot the next day. It wasn't worth the time.
My wife is neuro divergent but in a different way EDIT: THAN MY OWN and really doesn't understand this.
She is definitely the more outgoing and "let's make plans and do a ton of stuff with other people in loud places" kind of person.
An acceptable trade.
Yes. Yes it is.
Personal experience.
I have a 750w inverter plugged into my 12v plug, and it is absolutely more than enough to run the little 500w single plate burner I have.
I have used them together but I don't do it outside of camping when it's too rainy to use a fire. It takes forever to cook bacon eggs and pancakes on a single burner.
He didn't finish LOTR at 45, and arguably he never finished them as he was always fiddling with some story or another.
I'd say you're still doing quite well

The barycenter of the earth-sun orbit is within the surface of the sun, therefore the earth is understood to orbit the sun.
The JUPITER-Sun orbit barycenter, however, is outside the surface of the sun.

The interviewee is getting an opportunity.
Yes, thank your masters for considering you for further exploitation
This is normal
This is good
This comment belongs in its own post
Not even close to being wrong. No thank you is needed. Honestly I see no reason to thank them at the end of the interview.
And no down votes from normal people, this is absolutely an insane person posting this.
I'll probably get down voted for this opinion, but the earth is round and orbits the sun.
Armed minorities are harder to oppress.
Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.
Make no mistake, this is yet another message, "we do not care about you or your struggles". Listen when they tell you they won't protect you.
As someone without allergies that has been around for too many peanut-related reactions, I absolutely hate that this article exists.
Too many times I have heard people be dismissive of a person's severe peanut allergy, to the point of thinking it's funny to bring a peanut butter sandwich to work and wave it in someone's face, and then get defensive when it triggered a skin rash from proximity alone.
I've seen people put peanut butter on an allergic person's car door handle.
I've seen people put peanuts in someone's food "because they have to be faking it"
The reason I hate this article is because it will encourage too many people who "have done their own research" to put peanuts in things "to help build up a tolerance"
Someone is going to die from that "studies suggest".
And I really am tired of hearing "you're overreacting, that's not going to happen" given the current state of the world.
A plan or program to accomplish a goal is a scheme, whether it's beneficial or not.
Handing out flyers that properly define what socialism and communism are with the intent of educating people that they aren't the boogeyman is still passing out propaganda, even if it's beneficial and correct.
So yes, scheme is appropriate.
Alcoholic male defense secretary with 0 OPSEC abilities orders makeup set for public appearances.
Also decides other males aren't allowed to wear makeup in public.
I had a target I would eat lunch at whenever a contract took me to the area, I could just walk over and get a personal pizza and drink.
Not anymore.
It's getting harder to shop at places that don't bend the knee.
Thats not a challenge to get more places to bend so we don't have a choice, I would happily never spend money in the United States again if I could help it.
I ate it because I kept reading "aquariums" and thinking the author meant protected wildlife areas, and it didn't click until I got to "marine exhibit"
And now I can honestly imagine them allowing rich fucks to literally fish inside national aquariums for a price.
Every argument I have ever heard boils down to "in my specific use-case because of X Y Z and Purple, all the benefits of wired are irrelevant" and the people espousing such opinions don't at all take into consideration that other people exists and their specific use-case is not at all widely experienced.
"My tinnitus means I can't distinguish high tones well" okay buddy, but how many other people enjoy distinct highs?
"I move around too much so Bluetooth is the only practical solution" okay my friend, but many people either don't have that problem, or they've found a solution.
