I’m currently struggling with how exactly to “be a maker” for a living. My skill-set is wide and my interest level is varied, so “making” is where I’m happiest. Problem is, there aren’t a lot of jobs where you’re allowed to work within multiple different disciplines with a constantly changing environment.

Can I restore…

I’m not seeing a difference between the two.

Really starting to enjoy these “Jason Drives” bits.

Well done and keep ‘em coming!

Well, then in that case I say ride it out until it does “run out.” It’s not like I’d throw away my lottery winnings just because it was luck and/or possibly undeserved.

Busybodies, that’s who.

It seems odd to me that given the number of objects that passively reflect the sun’s rays into concentrated areas that we don’t have more ‘random’ fires started from coincidental arrangements of objects.

Built a new house with windows at just the wrong angle? Fire

That’s commitment. My reasons are partially weather related and partially that I park it in a ‘downtown’ area while I’m working, and I don’t want to leave it open and unattended for 8 hours everyday.

That is an ideal setup. It’s too bad I’d have to have a second DD (and a bigger garage) to keep it in that configuration at all times.

My thoughts exactly. I read through all the comments looking for all the “yeah, but...” comments in the hopes I’d save myself some cash today.

When these were new, I vividly remember thinking - God, I sure hope this blob-wedge shape isn’t the future of car design...

The car or the girlfriend? Maybe both.

I know. If only it was attainable for us mere mortals.

I’ve always liked the idea of a street-legal 4-wheeler. And no I don’t care about the “learn to ride a motorcycle or get a convertible” argument, because I own both a motorcycle and a convertible that I drive regularly already - I just happen to like ALL fun things with engines!

My ideal would be something a bit lower…

I did the Steam Link wired to router, host PC streaming via WiFi route.

I could manage to play a few - very minimal demand - games, but anything that required low-latency or decent graphics was completely unplayable.

I got the Steam Link as a (requested) gift a few months back. No combination of configurations made anything even remotely playable. I was very disappointed in the performance - since I initially had such high hopes for the Link.

I’ve seen a few cool “mechanical” dice towers. Here’s one that comes to mind.

How rich do I have to be to justify getting one? I’m guessing richer than I am currently...but damn, I’m trying to rationalize it any way I can.

Growing up, this was my favorite entry in the “Guinness Book of World Records” that I’d always look at in the library.
