Narcissists aren't particularly interested in admitting even little mistakes, so I doubt it.

And they make it tricky as hell to find the hobbyist license. I really hate this exploitative shit. Same for Adobe.

I'll bet Kissinger winning the Nobel Peace Prize wasn't on his radar, though.

About damn time. This is how you know karma isn't real.

Yeah, but the minotaur would get tired of walking around and die of exhaustion, but not before its wife said, "Stop being such a baby. This is fun!"

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.

The graphic novel Paper Girls features a giant living tardigrade, if you want a preview.

Not even close.

Unfortunately, no. And I've run this counter during an x-ray. It didn't get anywhere near as high, and it was aimed at me.

Not a surprise. I took my dad to a VA hospital for an appointment. We checked him in and sat in the waiting area. Because I'm a nerd, I had a Geiger counter in my backpack. I took it out and turned it on. As soon as it finished booting up, the alarm went off.

Normal background radiation where I live is usually around 0.08 micro-Sieverts/hour. My alarm threshold is 0.30 ( not dangerous, but interesting). My reading in that lobby? It was a whopping 9.23!

Polls that had orange funding, apparently.

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.

Because they're in prison too, and they hope it means they'll get to worship him in person.

Make sure you test it against one you're sure is accurate. My wife bought one that looks right at first blush, but it's off by at least 5%.

I've got a Staedtler 2mm and sharpener that I've had for at least 20 years now. They both have a permanent spot of honor on my lathe stand.

Honestly, that's how I read it, so message received. It's not the sort of thing you say or do if you're trying to win friends and influence people, though.

You see it a lot in Utah, unfortunately.
