For some people it kind of seems like just shouting at an empty room. I recently found a (now ex)friend’s Bluesky, which opened a whole can of worms.

But his whole thing was basically complaining about whatever he could with no one listening. Then complaining that no one was interacting.

It was like the equivalent of him having a stage in an empty room and just yelling about random shit. Then yelling that there’s no one else in the room. I don’t get it

It would seem Woodie Flowers is who i’m thinking of. I’m glad the other two are alive though. It’s a shame about the owner, but i also i feel like that death was easily avoidable

I could have sworn I remember hearing the founder died of Covid back when I was in FIRST myself, it’s possible I’m confusing him for someone else though.

Luckily the robotics team covers all the parts for their robot so he’s getting a bit of the experience

He has a ton of ideas. Right now he’s gotten really into Robotics and specifically joined his local FIRST team. This gave him the idea to build a robot of his own. I’ve tried to support him but damn can those things get expensive fast

I try to encourage him since all my tinkering was self taught. I know I’d appreciate having a guide or even just a friend to talk to about those ideas. And he definitely comes up with some ideas that help my own tinkering.

Right now he’s really into engineering and has this box that comes monthly that I paid for him that teaches him Engineering principles. I think it’s done by Mark Rober? Not really tinkering but He also likes making models for 3D printing and he’s been trying to get into Programming, unfortunately I think that curiosity keeps distracting him though.

lmao. I have a brother who’s a lot like me and loves to tinker (not too young that this is irresponsible though), so when i need to throw something on to keep him occupied while i work, i know Technology Connections is a safe bet.

Man, I fucking love watching this guy. He’ll talk about the most niche things and I love learning about it. He inspired a presentation I gave on how rice cookers work

I just suck at remembering names. I’ve started remembering people by their Profile picture more than their username

That’s weird on the windows speeds. I believe mine is a 4.0x4 too and I got full speeds on everything. Id have to assume it’s a Windows issue though

I had a 1 TB one I used for the longest time. My only complaint is that it never played well with any of my Linux devices (Steam Deck randomly decided it was done reading it and I had to unplug it and my Bazzite device just locks up)
