  • My tap and die set sit on a shelf, my lathe is in the shop. I’ve dropped my hammer from 150 feet because the tether broke and the most upsetting part was climbing the ladder down and back up.

    It depends on whether you view it as a lathe or a hammer. My nice computer is at home, my computer that I sit in the park under a tree and code on, then set it on the grass while it compiles is in my bag.


  • So I started going to University recently, and the amount of people I’ve had actively chastise me for how I treat my laptop has been shocking.

    This is a tool to get things done, it’s not some precious gem, I bought a cheap laptop with the expectation that it’s going to get gross and crusty and I’ll have to hose it down once a year, I’m going to wing it around and drop it and clean the screen with my sleeve.






  • I watched a lot of my favorite game creators get pushed out when EA bought their studios and fired them all. EA also pushed for and lobby for the legality of lootboxes and microtransactions in games, using predatory tactics to prey on vulnerable people. There’s a guy in the fricking camp of dragon age origins who links to the store to buy dlc. They routinely lay off developers just before earnings calls to boost numbers. When I bought The Sims 2, they changed the terms of sale three months after and stopped offering downloads and voided my license when they moved from EA Downloader, their response was for me to purchase the game again. They’ve been assured multiple times for violating labor laws. They violated anti trust laws in enforcing exclusivity of college basketball players likeness, though they were sued over that as well.

    I have a lot of reasons not to support EA
