Sounds like you've got some stuff figured out and you should be proud of that! It sucks when friends drift apart, maybe you could initiate some hangouts if you haven't tried that already. Not just 'we should hang out some time' but something like 'hey want to to get together this weekend and see a movie'.
As for feeling lost and bored, I can relate. I still don't really know how to handle that, I try to lose myself in a hobby, or deep dive into something that interests me. Doesn't make it stop but it helps forget about it for a while.
Stay real friend <3

Great explanation! The anology of the pool was helpful!

Most bots out there aren't backed by chat gpt. We had a flood of Russian boys using a sign up for on a site to send spam emails by putting the spam in the names and address fields. Slapping the most basic of captchas on the page solved it.

That's sounds rad! You should post some pics on here if you do end up doing it! Totally understandable if you didn't want the trouble tho!

The picture is of the 'finished' pin, I'd still like to refine the process a bit.
The general process I follow is:
- print the pin
- use a casting sand like petrobond and fill a metal container
- talcum power the printed pin
- press the pin into the casting sand to make the void for casting
- heat up the bismuth until it is liquid
- heat up the actual pin (looks like a thumbtack)
- pour the molten bismuth into the void, and quickly put the actual pin piece in the molten bismuth, if it's not hot enough the bismuth will cool and the pin won't sink in
- wait for it to cool (about a minute) then pull the pin out with some pliers (it's still hot so you don't want to touch it at that point)
- take a dremel to any flashing that occurred
- paint as required (I'm just using nail polish right now since it's pretty durable)
Hopefully that helps! If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer them :)

I've been using bismuth because of the low melting point (no need for a furnace) . I just picked up some used kitchenware so I could melt it on the stove top.
Pewter apparently has a pretty low melting point too, so that could be an option as well.

Has this user been singling out other users and posting about them? If not, maybe we shouldn't be singling them out and posting about them.
Either they are a dick, in which case block and move on, or they're a troll and want this reaction, or they are simple of different opinions then yours, which isn't grounds for singling them out.
Can't we just be nice?

That looks awesome, way to go! I just want to squish them, they look so soft!

I've been designing and printing 'enameled' pins on my 3d printer for a bit and recently picked up the stuff to actually cast them out of metal. So far I've casted one, and it actually turned out, so I'll probably be making some more this week!

I just created a new tool for my company, and I opted to leave out jQuery as I wanted to see how it would be without it.
After going through the process I don't think I'll use jQuery again unless it is already a dependancy. Vanilla pretty much has everything covered that jQuery made easier, just need to be a bit more verbose in some cases, but I've found that typically makes the code easier to read and modify.
No hate if jQuery is your thing though, just if you're on the fence I'd give vanilla a go and see if it fits your needs!

Thanks for taking us along on that nostalgia ride, you did an amazing job of painting the picture of the setting to the point I was feeling a lot of the same emotions you described.
Thanks for sharing :)

One day I'll learn flex and be able to make nice responsive displays, but until then Bootstrap it is.
