Sorry guy on two lane country backroad tonight who decided to tailgate me hardcore when I was doing 55 in a 45 and then had the unfortunate timing of trying to pass me just as I dropped it into third and stomped on it.

Did you intentionally gently caress with him, or was it legit poor timing? Because the former is a bad move and you should feel bad.

That 15K bumped you up to another tax bracket.



On the additional money. Remember this. A LOT of people get confused and think this means that all of your money is taxed at a higher rate, which it isn't. The additional money that falls over the bracket limit is, and people sometimes forget to increase their deduction on each paycheck to compensate, which is why you end up with higher owed amounts. Your W2 (or 1099, or that funny contractor one) can be changed at any time. Also, going up in money sometimes eliminates specific tax breaks designed for the lower bracket.

Not a Countach, don't care (that's a joke, it is awesome).

Note: when an endodontist says "let's do all five root canals at one," they're probably also the type that refuses to prescribe any real painkillers. Walked out and noticed my rx was for 600mg ibuprofen.

So, I needed a part to connect a standard <INSERT ANY UJM MAKER> flip-up gas cap to my Royal Enfield, because the Enfield's stock gas cap is poo poo and literally broke apart and half fell-off and half fell-into-my-gas-tank. The thing is, standard Yamaha/Honda/Suzuki gas caps use one central hinge screw, and Enfield uses two. So, I walked outside with a set of calipers, came back inside and dicked around in solidworks for 20 minutes, then moved on to Simplify3D.





The future is now.

It only took 14:09 to print, which is coincidentally the exact length of this video:

Are they 3D printed jackstands? I kinda need some of those.

How do you find the SpaceMouse? I have one for 3D geological modeling at work, and it seems like the software suppliers hate having to code for them, so there's not a lot I can do with it that I can't do with a regular mouse. Still, I didn't pay for it!

Yeah, I've been experimenting with different models for 3d printed jackstands, for RC cars and such. I think they're cute.

I use the spacemouse for kerbal space program and for solidworks. Works well enough.

I'm printing a bunch of jackstands in 1:10 and 1:20-24ish scale. Why? Because I feel bad having a 3d printer and also having it sit idle. I have this digital womb and it must be constantly moving.

I'm printing them in batches of 8. What colors should the jackstand bases/shafts/pins be? I already have eight standard blue base/black shaft/silver pins. The colors I have are:

Purple
Blue
Green
Red
Yellow
Glow-in-the-dark (frosted white/green? Slimer color)
White
Black
Clear blue
Clear red
Orange
Grey


If you want some, I have a few bucks to burn on small flat rate boxes. They'll be sent out, free-of-charge (or $beermoney per set of four/eight/whatever at klintor at gmail if you want, but really this is gratis because I'm bored as poo poo), whenever I feel like it. This is the style I'm printing: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:685345 .

Here is my current stack of filaments:

(Wrapped one 3rd from top on righthand side is glow in the dark)

Here are some blue bases done:


Here are some failures:

(notice the one assembled one - for whatever reason these printed out without cups)

Here is random other poo poo:





As you can see, they're rough, but I'm using it as calibration for my printer, so really it's no loss.

Hey everybody! Long time no chat, Is there a gently caress 2015 yet? If not, gently caress 2015! This month has sucked poo poo, so far the tally is my wife's grandpa in the ER for MRSA pneumonia (still in), my father in law with a heart attack (getting out this morning and probably going back in 2 weeks from now because he's a dipshit) and my grandma with possible cancerous growths on her pancreas, been a great month! But hey, at least I can finally check back in and see what I've been missing out on and get some well needed comedic relief.


Stuff like this, is why I love this forum. Thanks Geirskogul.

Would a set of extraordinarily tiny jackstands ease the pain?


It hasn't been the best year for me so far, either. Family members have died, the ambulance company I work for is aggressively merging all of its branches before we have a vote on a union so we can't have a vote on a union, and the army paid for five root canals, but won't pay for crowns, so I have to figure that out. But keep on truckin' along, and if a RCR video makes you forget about a lovely life for awhile, then confide in that. I also recommend Project Binky.

Goon9: "I've even tied a harness to the end of this one!"
OP: "I can feel the ropes, but I don't want to hold onto them... should I dig?"
Goon10: "No! If you dig, you'll hit water, and then you'll be proper hosed. I should know, I almost drowned."
OP: "I dug a little bit just now, and I haven't hit water. I'm gonna keep digging..."
Goons11-18: "No! Climb! Climb out!"
OP: "Guys, I'm seriously stuck in this well! Help! HELP!!!"
Goon19: "I was trapped in a well once. It took me two years, but I managed to build a climbing machine that pulled me to safety out of a well bucket and a pocket watch. I'm dropping the blueprints, extra buckets, and an assortment of pocket watches."
