5AF Parenting Thread

Daughter was accidentally elbowed in the mouth at school today playing on the playground, and now her front tooth is a little loose. Taking her to the dentist on Tuesday just to make sure nothing else is wrong, and I hope that her having braces just means it’ll tighten up on its own in a few weeks.

My GamePass Ultimate expires in 4 days, and I don't think I'll be renewing.

We're very meeting heavy where I am, too. Half of the time, the meeting should have been an e-mail or IM. My team does have three working sessions per week where 1-5pm is blocked off, and for the most part, we don't have others booking meetings in that time, which is nice. Our team lead was given **...

Let me tell you, it was a dodint for me gluing the trim pieces on with my old, shaky hands. I still have that spare body that would probably be saved with sanding/epoxy or bondo/paint.

CAD & 3D Printing Thread

I think I finally printed something that dodint may appreciate. My dad loves Corvettes, so I found a model of a 1957 Vette, printed all of the parts, and then assembled it as best I could. I actually printed the body twice because the first one bubbled on the surface (top wall wasn't thick enough), ...

What infill pattern are you using? The default on most slicers is grid, which is trash, and can cause the hot end to scrape across the top. If your slicer has something like Adaptive Cubic, try that instead, and use no more than 15% infill. Way faster and stronger.

^Good advice. We got lucky and landed tickets day-of, but that was sheer luck as it was supposed to rain and I suppose some people cancelled. It didn’t rain, and we enjoyed the trip.

I want to say that I made between $6-7/hour at a local grocery store (my first job). I've been keeping track of my salary history since 2000, where I made between $7-9/hour working at a Staples distribution warehouse.

The Alcatraz tour is 100% a must do, IMO. Make sure you actually get the legit tour that gets you onto the island, and not one of the ones where you just sail around it. https://www.cityexperiences.com/san-fra ... /alcatraz/

Some backyard shots from the other day. About 10 seconds after I left, I saw a bluebird on the feeder, which is starting to happen more frequently. Don't really see them too often. https://i.imgur.com/ubEvDjB.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/tjGgXRJ.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/ZOBMCcq.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/...

Neat. I don't have the time, money, or testicular fortitude to fly anything I've built myself. :lol:
That was my first thought... imagine that first flight of something that you built. Terrifying.
I wouldn’t go more than 10’ off the ground.

Fun fact: I occasionally e-mail Primanti Bros. with addresses of newly vacant restaurant spaces in my area because I want them to open a location nearby. I will make this happen. :lol:
