  • My dog associates food time with my meals. Food time is food time for both of us, and not based on what a clock says. So i can sleep in on the weekend. Works out since i generally only eat twice a day anyways. But she gets a treat if i have a third meal.

    She used to free feed and maintained a healthy weight. Not anymore 🙃. Having meal times at all has been an adjustment, but she learned over a few days.






  • You have fundamentally misunderstood millennial meme culture ca. 2006 (roughly when the rules were made).

    No one having a fetish for it would be extremely motivating to create such porn. People realized after it was made that they had a fetish for it. See: Shrek.

    So technically you can still say “if it exists, someone has a fetish for it” but you’ve relied on correlation to determine causation and gotten it backwards. This is a great example of why we don’t do that.



  • I use the site daily. Being able to download FREE CAD models in one click, nominal dimensions for nearly everything, and linked compatible components makes design so much simpler. I can swap a screw out in my assemblies in seconds. Other online hardware catalogs just don’t compare. It’s the perfect first draft resource.

    If McMaster ever goes down it’s going to take twice as long to do any design.




  • Chances are you can find a cause in your community people have gathered around.

    Sometimes though you might be in aplace where there’s just no community for you which is a reality in various rural areas. You might need to make the drive those 3 counties over.

    If it’s real bad you might need to decide between your roots and living closer to communities you mesh well with. Depends on what’s important for you in life and where you can find work.


  • Volunteering is a great way! You can also go to festivals with clubs (free market, ren fair, hobby conventions) and ask how to get involved. Just walk up to people and express intereat and ask how to participate. Oftrn they’ll be excited to get you into the community.

    Pick and choose. You’ll meet a lot of toxic people. You need to identify toxic traits such as bullying or people ignoring your needs.

    Lastly, you’re going to mesh with some people. The people you end up talking to for a long time. It’s 1 in a thousand for me. So, wide net.
