Sayonara wild hearts

 

Modeled in FreeCAD and Blender, and printed on my Anycubic Photon Mono

Sounds like it'll be a good revamp, though I'm glad I was able to ride the original a few times before the accident.

I would piggyback on the people saying to get a PC, and think about building a home theater PC. You can use steam big picture mode to make it act like a console, but you can also use it for other things. You can even use steam's streaming capabilities to stream to other devices on your network like your phone or laptop if you want to be elsewhere.

this looks pretty neat, definitely adding to my wishlist.

My wife has struggled with disordered eating, and it's been a long journey for both of us. She is also tall and got to a really scary place. She's doing much better now, but it continues to be a process. Keep up the great work and don't give up!

Really cool idea, hoping to see updates on the project as it goes!

Also going to throw in a recommendation for Expedition Theme Park. Similar content in different series organized by park

Did anyone else ever play Airfix Dogfighter? You got to fly model planes all through a house and break glass and stuff. Super fun times 😁

I really love A Show of Hands by Rush. It's one of my favorite of their eras, though I feel like the "synth era" isn't as universally loved by fans

Yeah, it wasn't until my second time starting the game that I took in any of the combat tutorials

 

What would you add to this playlist?

Interesting analysis, it does make you wonder why the support was shaped that way at all.

 

As the title says, I'm getting pretty overwhelmed by a growing list of tasks I have to do. Laundry is piling up, I still need to unpack my car from a roadtrip last weekend, and an issue I've been working at work has been dragging on for too long.

What are your techniques for resetting and getting through tasks that have been sitting around for too long?

really feels like BGW is coasting on the "most beautiful park" tagline meanwhile they didn't theme or landscape Pantheon like, at all...

 

So far this summer I've gone to Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Hersheypark and Disney World, which has brought my count up to 85. New ones for this season were:

  • i305
  • Twisted Timbers
  • Reptilian (formerly avalanche)
  • Grizzly
  • Anaconda
  • Pantheon
  • DarKoaster
  • Wildcat's Revenge
  • Tron Lightcycle Run
  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
  • Space Mountain (Alpha track)

For immersive rides, while I really loved Cosmic Rewind and Tron (though it was just OK during the day, the night ride makes it 10x better) neither beat out Hagrid's for me.

For conventional coasters, I was glad that i305 lived up to the hype, the camelbacks on Twisted Timbers were nuts, and Wildcat's revenge was completely awesome in every row I tried.

Pantheon was an excellent ride, but pretty shaky operations really made the experience unpleasant. With two trains it was constantly stacking or loading full trains from quick queue, and most of the time it was running a single train.

DarKoaster was mid.

 

Feels like something my wife and I signed up for ages ago and haven't seen a penny. Not that I find it at all surprising, but it feels like it got pretty close to actually happening...

If you aren't from the US, how was your higher education experience?

 

I find things like this annoying and literally no one I know seems to notice them at all. I went to see across the spider verse in "IMAX" with some friends and could literally see the pixels of the projector. Great movie, but if I'm going to see a movie in IMAX I shouldn't be having issues with the resolution.

 

We love our rabbits, Chester (brown) is very laid back, and Phoebe (REW) is more feisty. She likes to pretend that she's tough by grunting at everything and everyone, but she melts for pets

 

This video was a total rollercoaster ride. I started watching expecting the usual youtube cringe commentary, but wound up with a pretty compelling story of a guy who just really enjoys making art, and his family who supports him

 

I spun up an instance on my personal server to host a podcast that my wife and her friend started, and it's been working great! Has a few rough edges, but it does everything one needs to inexpensively get a podcast out onto the internet without relying on a non-free hosting platform. Feel free to check out my wife's podcast at https://podcast.tworooms.online as an example.
