It feels like PS3 was the biggest leap in technology. I loved my PS3, and had a ton of games for it. Since then it's been incremental, faster loading times, incrementally better graphics, and such. The PS5 makes loading screens on Bethesda games tolerable to me

The term you are looking for to describe such a shape is technically "spherical polygon". Triangles are impossible in speherical geometry since the sum of the angles would always be greater than 180°.

How can you buy things with monero? What merchants (online or in person) accept it?

Dollar General isn't helping any.

The bluetooth antennas on your devices have sucked. I have no problems with my pixel 7 pro. Pairs quickly, play music from across the house, through walls and floors even. Previous phones of mine would lose connection to my bluetooth headphones if my.phone was on the wrong hip, obviously an antenna issue.

Good Guy Ford patents the worst possible technology so no other automaker can use it, and then never implements it themselves.

The entire US would have the average of all the states' incarceration rates.

The government would end up housing and educating most of the population, which would cost more than any country could afford.

Bring your own food, lounge chairs, and umbrellas and act as royalty.

Yes absolutely. I'm sure the hobby hasn't paid for itself, but I never expected it to. It has been worth it because of the amount of happiness I have spread with personalized gifts and a feeling of satisfaction when I make a print to fix something around the house or make life a little easier or more convenient. The little toys and doo-dads are great and the kids love them too.

 
 

I just picked up some 16TB WD Red Pros for $219, and they're normally $289. Had to share with my fellow hoarders.

 

I have between 20-30 TB of data I want to keep a copy of in a firesafe. I do not want to use an online storage solution, I want to maintain my personal data at my home.

My current plan is to get (2) Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 PRORAID enclosures and (8) WD Red Pro NAS 16TB drives to fill them. The first would contain a full backup and be placed in the safe. The second would be attached to my machine and receive nightly backups. Periodically, I would rotate the enclosures, taking the one from the safe and swap it with the one connected to my machine.

Are there any problems with my plan that I am not thinking of? Are there better solutions?

Is anyone else keeping a rotating data backup in a safe? How is it working out for you?

 

I downloaded a model but the Homer had several model flaws and the sponge base didn't fit my sponges so I designed my own. I basically kept only the spout.

I started with a PNG of Homer disappearing into the bushes. I cleaned it up a lot in gimp, then used adobe's PNG to SVG converter, which I'll say works very well. Brought that into inkscape and cleaned it up even more. Separated him into colors, pulled them into tinkercad at different heights, then printed him with 4 color changes.
