Same here, although it did eventually lead to years of employment as a web dev.

It was around 1991 in the university computer lab. Just a green screen dumb terminal for email and newsgroups. Played too much Nettrek after hours on the Spark workstations later on.

He’s one of the absolute best.

My Internet has Pihole and uBlock. I don’t know what these ad things are.

I’m not so sure about that. It took me forever yesterday to get my international keyboard setup to work on Ubuntu the way I wanted it to. I’m saying that as someone who’s been using Unix/Linux in a school, IT and home setting for 30 years. It was unforgivably difficult.

¿Porqué no los dos?

Hey now, don’t go hatin’ on my buddy Satan. If Reddit were possessed, it’d be way cooler.

Ditto on the Arduino. I built a pickup winder for electric guitar, and it’s more than made up for its price in entertainment alone.

Both of the tools I tried from there failed hard and fast. The first was a rotary tool. I ended up keeping the plastic and using a motor from a printer instead until I bought my Foredom.

The second was a vibratory tumbler. After running it for a few hours, I walked into my garage to find it filled with smoke and the acrid smell of burning electrical equipment.

I took it back to the store for a refund and the manager threatened me, saying that he wouldn’t let me make any more returns after bringing back an obviously defective piece of garbage.

Glad you had a better experience, but that place is definitely not for me.

Hmm. Kinda rhymes with “garbage crate”. Horrible store. I’m never going back.

There have been plenty of studies on psilocybin with human subjects. None of them included vivisection or bisection. We have other ways of testing this sort of thing.

In rats. I’ve yet to read a human study on microdosing that showed any effects greater than placebo.

Wow. I’m glad you figured that out. I thought it was going to be so much more difficult.
