I like to target a very specific species (Lake Trout) using vertical jigging techniques. You can do it on a small kayak with a simple fishfinder (histogram "graph") or a large boat…

The older people get the more disposable they are viewed as by society. When you are younger, you belong in school. When you get older, you belong at work. If you fall out of any o…

the look and aesthetic of some of your screenshots is awesome. reminds me of ultima online in the best way possible. It's like looking into the future, will there be a point where …

The gif maker workflow is fantastic, amazing how smooth it was an the output is clean and crisp. Beautiful UX I practically tripped over this feature without even thinking about it…

I agree with the hamburglar (lol) you did awesome work and you owe the internet nothing. the 3d printing community is rife with "stl please" expectations that everyone wants to sha…

I am taking care of an aging and physically limited parent. It's brought me to my absolute limit. I often say stuff about wanting to be dead but I don't think I've ever been seriou…

No, those are the people who refuse to upgrade the old COBOL systems. They are allowed to drive.

> You don’t quit a job until you have another one lined up. You do your work the best you can for 40 hours a week and leave. If you don’t get all of your work done and they fire yo…

I appreciate the who's hiring / who wants to be hired posts. I am curious if we can flip this pattern a little and have some discussions on how people found jobs they are in, or jo…

lol all I can think when I see this is "tommy can you hear me?" lots of opportunity for pinball wizard jokes / easter eggs

I'm building a pen plotter machine that is purpose built for multi-color artwork. So far I have a duet mainboard wired up to motors and a commercial gantry set (openbuilds). I've f…

The guy in the cave having the midlife crisis and his wife sending him clothes had me in tears. The lost kid in the woods who can hear his dad. The lack of any meaningful gratitude…

> a drug fueled orgy of magical thinking This is just "management" thinking. You can thank your local MBA for poisoning the well for everyone else. Leaders produce value. "Managers…

I really like those illustrations I hope you keep going with this progress. Looks great and I think it could be a very engaging tool because of its visual appeal. Don't let the hat…

I feel like this is really to the heart of "your vibe attracts your tribe". It's kinda risky to but something like this in the comments, what if nobody ever sees it? What if it nev…

I think your comment can be boiled down to "management doesn't respect engineers" That's the fundamental problem. Some MBA or book somewhere convinced people that respect and digni…

> Start a side project that nobody needs but you, purely for the sensation of making a thing that you like. I did this and it's led to making friends and a lot of really good thing…

I'm building some really good new friends, but I don't get to see them often due to distance. I am also kind of fearful of leaning on people too much. Getting to see more people re…

I work from home... which is it's own set of problems. One thing I did going through divorce is choose to live somewhere that there are a lot of people around. I have a few restaur…

It's taking every ounce of self control to not quit right now. Living like this is... not living.

Your suggestion is sound but my mental acuity is in the fucking dumpster. I am bad at my job because I am so stressed and upset about my inability to control my life. I'm doing som…

> Another thing I'd recommend: try to find some solace in hobbies or personal interests. One of my favorite, most rewarding projects has been making fishing lures. Losing my house …

I quit drinking alcohol and i have some hobbies that involve either dragging heavy shit around or using my arms for exercise. No amount of "focusing on myself" has stopped the spir…

I'm in therapy. I'm on meds. I'm "doing the work" but it takes fucking forever. How are you supposed to survive for the years it takes for society to begin to accept you? I don't h…

> you need to find some support amongst your close ones, you definitely need not be alone going through this. I am not allowed to get support. I don't know why but it's just not po…
