"Fail early, fail often"

I have zero experience with other 3d printers. So far I'm pretty impressed

Ah, i see what you mean...

I looked it up and I swear there's already a beefy connector there, but I might have missed it. I'm not home now but I'll check again. Thanks for the tip!

You are right, I thought it was it's own thing but no it was always part of Toyota.

what makes a sovol or elegoo better than creality? I just get so overwhelmed because they all look pretty much the same and seem to be priced the same too

The Three Body problem is a bit more science fiction-y

I would say it's more of a "space opera" than science fiction, and I didn't find the writing itself nearly as engaging or good.

Thank you for responding!

What thought process went into you deciding to make your username on here occupation-adjacent?

RRS feeds for youtube?

My kid watches some specific things we've deemed okay on youtube but there's constant "you may also like" creep that he ends up finding, and it's always garbage, this might be the way to finally limit the content to the specific stuff we've agreed to.

My state gives me 10% back as tax refund for contributing up to $5000 a year to my kids 529.

I'm not running a specific program that was designed by anyone, but over time I've just slowly been adding stuff that I do on a regular basis, I currently don't have any real goals other than to stay in shape, gradually put more weight on the bar and stave off death. I also work a rotating schedule that doesn't align with a regular week so most programs don't match up. I usually do some kind of kettlebell stuff about twice a week (swings, get ups, presses) sometimes as interval work sometimes untimed. On those days I also do pull ups and/or push ups. I also run around 2-4 miles once or twice a week and I do squats and deadlifts with a barbell once a week. Sometimes I'll throw a wildcard in there once in a while, and that will be a long (about an hour) row on the concept2 or farmers carrys with my kettlebells or some kinda circuit workout that includes jumping rope and other stuff. My only particular focus is increasing my squat and deadlift and obviously that's going slow because I only do it once a week, but I'm not in any rush.

I have to vary intensity and volume depending on my recovery status. I'm at the point where I can be honest with myself about how much I can tolerate on a specific day and that can vary greatly based on my work schedule.

Most of my kettlebell stuff is based around Pavel's Simple and Sinister and I mostly do sets of fives on barbell as suggested by Rippetoe. But I'm not actually following either program.

sometimes I wish I had a fan bike/airdyne because I don't want to put in the coordinated effort for the rowing, and a lot of my exercise is pull heavy so having something low-impact without pulling would be nice, but for the most part I enjoy it immensely. Being able to pace very precisely based on stroke rate and heart rate and speed or wattage is nice to keep me from overdoing it.
