how's your week going, Beehaw
  • Pretty great actually. On my first relaxation vacation with no specific agenda in several years. The beach is gorgeous, the breeze is cool and the drinks are flowing. Life can be good, sometimes anyway. Trying not to think about the work stacking up that will be waiting for me on my return.

  • What's the worst natural disaster you've been in?
  • Hurricane Harvey was a bastard of a storm.

    I was up all hours of the night for days on end keeping tabs on the flood control reservoir at the end of my street only a few houses away, it got dangerously close to overflowing but fortunately never did.

    Craziest thing, I remember being inside my house in the middle of the day all dark no power, and I hear the unmistakable sound of a military helicopter getting closer and closer and suddenly the house was starting to shake. I ran outside and looked up and there was a Blackhawk hovering no higher than 50 meters directly above my house and a soldier poking their head out the side looking straight down, I swear we made eye contact it was so close. Fucking wild.

  • Generally speaking yes, but there are some exceptions.

    For example, flashlights intended to be attached to a firearm DO incur a premium for a good reason. They're subjected to intense sudden movement and vibration, repeatedly, and it takes a lot of extra hardening and redundancy to develop a light that can repeatedly withstand that kind of abuse without eventually knocking core components loose. If you were to try to attach a tactical light intended for airsoft/bb use to a real firearm, its not going to last long. There's a reason gun lights are as expensive as they are.

  • I made a thing
  • This is cool, but it bothers me that the inhale cycle doesn't end with completely filling the circle with blue. I feel unfulfilled, like when the DVD player screensaver doesn't hit neatly into the corner of the screen when it totally looks like it's going to

  • how's your week going, Beehaw
  • If you're hearing nothing back from any job applications at all, there might be a red flag on your resume you're not aware of that's preventing you from getting past the initial screeners. It could be as simple as the way you phrased something that's not even necessarily a negative thing. You should have someone review your resume and look into sprucing it up. Happy to help if you'd like, DM me your resume and I can give it a look over and see if I see anything that stands out and might be preventing you from getting to the next step.

  • Descent 3 has been made open source
  • Playing Descent II online was one of the highlights of my childhood back in the early days of internet gaming. The community was excellent too, with a lot of custom maps created using the D2 Level Builder, which I got pretty good with myself haha.

  • Piracy was NEVER stealing
  • Perfect example of this is the movie Dogma. Kevin Smith has stated he would love to do a follow up on it, but he as the creator can't because the IP is owned personally by Harvey Weinstein, and he refuses to give money to Harvey to license or buy it because obvious reasons. So, his own creation is locked away from him because a monster put up the money for the original before Kevin or most people knew they were a monster.

  • No way
    My favorite guitar I own, whats yours?

    My 1966 Fender Mustang, 100% original and worn in in all the right places. What do all y'all have that someone would have to pry from your cold dead hands?
