Decided to apply for Global Entry a while back because my TSA PreCheck was expiring this year and I figured why not?
I’ve been conditionally approved for months, but the nearest interview location is 3 hours away. 🤦♂️ I guess that’s why not?

Bought my first 3D printer weeks ago w/intent of designing several custom fittings for my woodshop dust collection system.
Instead, I've printed a dozen accessories for the printer/filament spools and just *one* DC fitting... and I've done no woodworking since.

Why are they called “knockouts” when they… don’t? Had to do some sketchy stuff to remove this “pry-in” from my electrical panel.
Clearly whoever designed this must have assumed nobody would ever need to change anything after the initial work was done. 🤦♂️

Anyone else out there WFH in a windowless room and have any lighting tips? 🙂
The workarea is about 8’x8’.
The best part about being done with this project is being done with this project.
The worst part(s)? Setting up my workstation for the first time and realizing that my lighting setup kind sucks.

First Monday of my voluntary month-long funemployment!
Looking forward to using it to spend time with my family and to work on the endless DIY project backlog I’ve amassed.
Relax? Ha - no thank you! My butt has spent way too much time in a chair these past few years.

80% of the work on most of my projects lately seems to be figuring out what to do in spite of poor instructions.
Manufacturer: “Connect brown wire to terminal 1 and blue wire to terminal 2”
Also manufacturer: “lol let’s provide a cable with no brown or blue wires”

@CraigAlanson Could you please settle a heated dispute I'm having with a friend? Neither of us can remember if the Thuranin and Maxolhx homeworlds were ever named in the books.
The dispute is over whether or not simply asking you on Twitter is "too much work". 😁

PR Reviewer: Can you refactor GlassFactoryImpl to an AbstractContainerFactoryFactory that produces an AbstactCupFactory which produces Glass objects?
