Yep. I was enlisted in the navy. I’ve seen this pipeline over and over on Facebook

Hate the Navy, Joe Rogan Phase, Hate the Government, Jordan Peterson Phase, Becomes sexist and undateable, Become libertarian, Be smarter and better than everyone else, Diet racism, Conspiracy theories, Angry and isolated because of their shitty beliefs, Digs in more and lives to argue, Lost their fucking mind

It’s sad watching genuinely decent people become angry, scared, and isolated. You can’t even feel bad for them because of how insufferable they become.

Literally my first job out of college. We were hybrid, and the amount you had to come in was based on your seniority. Most days it was just me on an empty floor. “Meeting” people was doing shitheads favors so they wouldn’t have to come in to the office.

I have a 2023 Honda ridgeline. The car play works but doesn’t work well. About 50% of the time I have to unplug and plug in my phone again. About 2% of the time I have to restart my car completely to get it to work (yes I’ve tried a different phone and a different cable). I will not buy another new Honda exclusively because of this. GM is so out of touch with how important CarPlay is to consumers.

Judge shopping in Texas. Followed by an outrageously unconstitutional ruling. Then a 2 year wait for the Supreme Court to look at it. Sigh

Hobby CNC

You can get a little table top router and some simple software for a couple hundred bucks. You can go deep into it. Building a custom machine, writing your own post processor, dialing in you CNC to insane levels of accuracy and precision, adding a 4th axis, engineering parts and projects, it goes on. It basically combines robotics, design engineering, and manufacturing engineering all in one hobby.
