We run 2-5 loads of dishes a day as we do a ton of cooking at home. With a single dishwasher we’d have to immediately unload and load the next batch or we wouldn’t be able to keep up and it was exhausting. With two we can keep up with the dishes a lot better. It’s awesome to have another dishwasher available to put the dirty dishes in when the other is running. And when we host stuff at our house it’s awesome to be able to wash everything at once.
Dishwashers are definitely the way to go. They use less water than hand washing (source: https://www.popsci.com/environment/science-of-using-dishwasher-vs-handwashing/).
I’m so firmly in the dishwasher camp that I installed a second dishwasher in my kitchen a few years ago and it has been one of the best upgrades I ever made on my house. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to live somewhere with a single dishwasher again.
Also, there’s no need to buy any expensive pods or dishwasher detergent. The cheap store brand powder detergent works the best. Personally I use the Great Value brand powdered detergent and have been very satisfied with it. I do not pre rinse any dishes either. I just lazily scrape off my dishes in the garbage and put them straight in the dishwasher.
If you do go the dishwasher route, be sure to do your research and get a good dishwasher if you have a choice. I went with Bosch dishwashers based on reviews from Consumer Reports and have been highly satisfied with their performance. They’re so quiet my wife sometimes opens them mid cycle and gets a surprise. I find this hilarious because they shine a red spot on the floor to let you know that it is running.

First thing I ever printed was a spout to replace the elephant trunk on my Rancilio Rocky coffee grinder. It allows me to use the grinder with basically 0 ground retention so it was a huge improvement and allows me to accurately use the grinder for single doses. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:101392
Another thing I made were some spacers to correct alignment on the freezer door of my French door refrigerator. They’ve been working great for years now and keep the door seal in perfect alignment. I custom made these and they’re unlikely to be useful to anyone else.
I also am very fond of some wire organizers I use for managing USB charging cables so they’re not a jumbled mess. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5340635
Funny you should mention IRC as that’s how I met that coworker in the first place. I miss the good old days of IRC. Freenode was a blast back in the day.
I was talking with a guy at work the other day about this. Apparently he and I are both guilty of trying to exit insert mode and run vim commands in windows notepad.
My wife cut ties with her family years ago. I hope we don’t get any inheritance from them. If we do, it will go to a charity that supports victims of child abuse.

And once you’ve been sufficiently blown away by those great recommendations, check out Magic Sword. The Sword of Truth is a good starting point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt2qgY31ziE
I completely agree. I’m not even in the industry but it’s a fun hobby topic for me. I even got an EPA 608 universal license for fun.
Really glad to see someone say Earthbound. I love that game and have really enjoyed sharing it with my kids. I started them young on it while teaching them to read. I’ll sit with them and narrate the game and it really helps them a lot with learning to read. Just got to Happy Happy Village with one of them the other day.
I leave a lot of one star reviews for anything that pulls that crap.

DDG also seems to exclude some websites from search even if you specifically give terms that should give results for a site. Try searching for any model from Bad Dragon’s website like “bad dragon nova” or another sex toy maker “mr hankeys beefcake” and the first result should be for the item on the maker’s website. I can’t ever get DDG to give results and safe search is already off. It has been like this for years.
Can confirm. I’ve bought and sold tons of Bad Dragon and other high quality sex toys on used markets.
It can run with a variety of systems. You just need to have enough VRAM on your video card to fit the model and then it can run pretty fast. There are models down to a couple hundred MB in size, but they’re quite limited. There are other models that are 245GB in size, though the bigger ones use a “mixture of experts” where only portions of the model are loaded as needed, and the rest stays unused for the particular task at hand. If you don’t have enough VRAM to fit the model, it will fall back to running on the CPU and using the system ram. Most of the operations are limited by the speed of the memory that’s running the model. Video card memory is much faster than system memory so that’s what helps it run a lot faster. It can still get the job done but you will have to wait quite a while for the output. There are ways of making the models smaller by using quantization. Quantization reduces the precision of the models parameters (the number with the b next to it in models i.e. 4b, 8b, 14b, 30b, etc.) by taking it from 32-bit data down to 8-bit or smaller. This allows more data to be packed in a smaller space, but it reduces accuracy a bit.

Excellent recommendations here. I’d add Magic Sword, Thomas Barrandon, and Daniel Deluxe to go with these.
