Just trying is a good first step. You don't need to finish it. Just try and see how it goes.

Maybe try to spend time in your car just sitting. Then getting comfortable with your seat position. Then put things around your car to get some imagination of your actual blindspots. Then maybe driving and practicing in empty parking lots.

Then when you're actually comfortable maybe get a good instructor who can spend time with you and get you comfortable on the road.

If it's not your thing. Then it's not your thing. That's cool too.

Also, if you can talk to a therapist. They can give you some good exercises to calm you down and put things into perspective.

I want stats like the end of a game. How many red lights did I run, did anyone die by my actions, how many hours did I sleep, how many meals did I eat. Things like that.

Red dead redemption 2 really made me feel thankful for experiencing the story. It was a different kind of joy but it was very sad too.

I have fancy California Internet and the downloads are surprisingly slow and kept slowing down and turning off. It was such a pain to get my data out of takeout.

I use this website to check my fingerprint. https://browserleaks.com/

It has a bunch - Canvas fingerprinting, font fingerprinting, HTTP/2 fingerprinting and ClientRects fingerprinting

That's pretty neat! While I see the concern of not using AI for everything. These projects are good for practice and provide motivation. This in turn gives a sense of achievement and maybe lead to bigger things. That to me makes this worth it. Great job.

Now and then I'll watch a Louis Rossman and Gamer's Nexus video but I don't follow Linus. Did something happen between them that I missed?

Honestly, it's pretty easy to dunk on edge. But it's based on the same chromium browser. They have excellent customer support. I have in the past submitted bug reports and they have followed up. Until now, they had pretty good privacy and options in their settings. With this v2 / v3 situation, I will have to reassess all that.

I have a few ideas -

1. Replace the posts with wooden dowels. That might make it stronger and still cheaper.
2. This one is harder to describe. Assume that you have a post of diameter 5mm and length 100mm, and your base is 20mm high. At the post's base make it dia 10mm and height 10mm. Now make a similar negative feature in your base ⌀5x10, ⌀10x10. To assemble, insert the post from the bottom of the base. This way you'll get a lot more support.
3. You can make the idea above more 3d printable by using generous chamfers.
4. Your current profile is hexagonal, you can still make the collar. Make one of the edges coincident instead of the axis. You'll still be able to print flat. Or if you want a concentric hexagon then cut off the excess collar at the plane of the shorter hexagon.
5. You can employ a similar technique for the top but you'll have to get more creative there.

(Edit - I'm sorry, I can't figure out formatting on my app)

Just finished Split Fiction.

There is a security risk of using your first name and last name in your email. It's very easy for malicious people to send you emails specifically addressing you. I have realized it now and I take the extra steps to set up good spam blocking in my email.

If the machine starts operating then, yes it'll be bad.

During initialization the machine checks for all of this. I once had a staple on my clothes and the tech came in and asked me to look for it. They didn't know what it was. They just knew I had metal on me.

The butt plug rail one is wild! Idk how that happened.

When I was trying to find frameworks that I liked. I learned VanillaJS. Then wrote the same app using VanillaJS, Web Components, React and Svelte. I am not a professional developer either I just like to write code. I was very familiar with python. That helped me iterate through my app and also find a framework fit.

Svelte came most naturally to me. So now I either use Svelte or VanillaJS.

For me, Svelte is clean, modular and is not as confusing as React. I love the concept of Svelte stores. I use it all the time.

It could help you stay on topic and build good opening and summary slides. A good opening slide helps orient the audience and a good closing side summarizes well. Both help in making sure a decision is reached or the audience is aligned after the presentation.

Heck yeah! Hot shots is so good
