And now I need to make a 3D printed mold in a comfortable shape that can be used to easily cast concrete around a lighter.

Maybe a simple cylinder, with the lighter off center so it can easily be flicked?

Maybe I'll squish some play-doh around one and scan it and use that.

Whatever, it just needs to be too big to "accidentally" end up in someone's pocket.

Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.

Huh, you know maybe knowing the origin of the joke affects how I determine whether it's derogatory or not?

I did not think about that, but looking back, seems like an easy pitfall.

Good point.

Honesty, I think it would be fairly easy to figure out.

If it is derogatory - homophobe.

If it points out an idiosyncracy, and makes fun of it - queer, or at least not homophobe.

In my experience, bgoted people make jokes that insult and/or demean those people they hate. It is not done primarily to be funny, but to hurt and demean. Making it funny just helps spread it around.

How about a 6 pin connector?

Cable side connector with strain relief. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-industrial-operations/PT06SE-10-6P-SR/341057

Bulkhead connector. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-industrial-operations/PT02SE-10-6S/341071

To include or exclude the strain relief, add or remove the "(SR)" from the part number.

A good driver will occasionally miss exits - a bad driver NEVER will!

Are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?

My favorite to hold you over until you find it.

Yes, but if your caregiver gets sick, either they have to find coverage while they are sick, or you do on short notice.

With a company, they can reassign someone to fill in with little disruption (theoretically). The reality is, they are struggling with hiring and keeping people for all of the reasons listed in this thread, so even if you hire a company, maybe you will get someone to cover for your regular, or maybe you won't.

If you keep your eyes closed, you would only have to be a hundredaire to make it happen.

 

I have been feeding some crows for the last couple of years, and one of them started making this click-cooing sound about a year or so ago. I have caught it now a couple of times, and posted the videos. Has anyone ever heard crows (or ravens, I am still confused as to which is which) making this sound?

 

I have previously duplicated the Milwaukee Low-Profile Organizer bins, (as well as designed modified ones) and the regular height organizer bins and posted them on Printables and Thingiverse, and I was asked to design printable bins for the new deep organizer.

They don't have bins, so that allowed me the freedom to design them, and not just duplicate the existing ones. It also was a pain in the ass, because I had to buy new measuring tools to measure some of the weird inside angles of the deep pockets. But after a couple of tries (10 iterations for the corner pieces) they are all done.

 

I bought the Milwaukee Packout Low Profile Organizer, and loved everything about it - except the rectangular bin. The fact that it was divided into three sections bothered me, and the fact that it couldn't be divided along the long axis also bothered me, so I modeled it and duplicated it. I wanted my model to be indistinguishable from the original, so instead of just making something that would work, but look out of place, I tried to make something that just blended in and disappeared.

So, I duplicated the rectangular bin, but also moved the separator slots around so that it could be divided into four sections along the short axis, and also be divided in half along the long axis. That meant that it could be divided in a bunch of crazy ways as well, so I modeled a bunch of different dividers for it.

I also modeled the square bin as well, just in case I wanted "spares" that could hold additional stuff that could be swapped out without having to dump stuff from one bin to another. My bin is completely compatible with the Milwaukee bins. They stack on each other, the separator I made fits in the Milwaukee bin, and the Milwaukee separator fits in my bin.

 

We sometimes feed the local crows - and the occasional Raven as well - and this crow really likes to chitter for a bit before coming down and getting some food.
