Have you ever traveled outside of America? (Not to Canada or Mexico) in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] AnotherMadHatter@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

American here, currently sitting in the AFT cafeteria of a Norwegian cruise ship just off the coast of France. Saved for years to go on this once in a lifetime cruise.

I grew up on the edge of poor. Had basics and never went hungry, but our summer vacations were camping because it was cheap. Never went to Disneyland until I was in the Army and could afford it myself.

While I agree that going abroad is definitely eye opening, even traveling to other states increases your open-mindedness. I joined the Army and was stationed in Alabama, Georgia, Alaska and Washington. Going back home and reuniting with friends who never left the state or even left the general area was kind of shocking. Never being exposed to an even slightly different environment really showed in their attitude.

While I was in the Army, I was sent to Missouri and a couple of other states I can't remember right now for a month or so for training or field problems, and short trips show how even though I was still in the same country, there were definitely societal, geographical and political differences in each place.

Expanding that to traveling other countries was also eye opening. The Army sent me to Thailand for a month. My current job sent me to Australia and S. Korea and a couple of other states for 2-3 weeks at a time. I liked hitting the tourist spots, but I really enjoyed just watching people wherever I am. Once you see that (for the most part) people are people, you start to get that just because someone's idea is different than yours, doesn't mean it's wrong, it's just different.

I have a 3D printer, so I went with these and a drawer to organize.

Thanks. And yeah, Thingiverse and Printables (and others, but those are my two go-to's) have tons of useful items as well as fun things.

Not sure why it's not working for you. I tried it with a couple of browsers in incognito mode and it works fine for me.

I spent less than an hour to design these guards for our stove, and most of the time was on how it looked. I wanted it to be functional, but not look too out of place.

I usually spend some time on OfferUp looking at things I might be interested in buying used because why not. I am interested in seeing if I can get some Milwaukee Packout cases slightly used for a deal.

Did a search for "Milwaukee" and got more than 14 pages of posts from a single pawn shop. Most of the ads aren't even selling anything they are just the same text on all of them.

WE ARE LOOKING TO BUY TOOLS DEWALT, MILWAUKEE, MAKITA, SNAP ONE, MAC TOOLS, ALL HIGH END BRANDS - USED IN GOOD CONDITION! MESSAGE WHAT U HAVE OR CALL TO DISCUSS XXX-XXX-XXXX

One of the posts was the same item for sale, but posted like 25 times.

Apparently, caps-lock is where it's at. Anyway, if this is not cleaned up by the OfferUp spam patrol, is there another Craigslist / OfferUp that doesn't have this quantity of spam?

Crow Making a Noise I Have Not Heard Before (youtube.com)
 

I have been feeding some crows for the last couple of years, and one of them started making this click-cooing sound about a year or so ago. I have caught it now a couple of times, and posted the videos. Has anyone ever heard crows (or ravens, I am still confused as to which is which) making this sound?

It Took About Two Months, But They Are Finally Done - Milwaukee Deep Organizer Bins (imgur.com)
 

I have previously duplicated the Milwaukee Low-Profile Organizer bins, (as well as designed modified ones) and the regular height organizer bins and posted them on Printables and Thingiverse, and I was asked to design printable bins for the new deep organizer.

They don't have bins, so that allowed me the freedom to design them, and not just duplicate the existing ones. It also was a pain in the ass, because I had to buy new measuring tools to measure some of the weird inside angles of the deep pockets. But after a couple of tries (10 iterations for the corner pieces) they are all done.

I Duplicated the Milwaukee Packout Low Profile and Regular Organizer Bins - And Added Divided Rectangular Bins As Well (www.printables.com)
 

I bought the Milwaukee Packout Low Profile Organizer, and loved everything about it - except the rectangular bin. The fact that it was divided into three sections bothered me, and the fact that it couldn't be divided along the long axis also bothered me, so I modeled it and duplicated it. I wanted my model to be indistinguishable from the original, so instead of just making something that would work, but look out of place, I tried to make something that just blended in and disappeared.

So, I duplicated the rectangular bin, but also moved the separator slots around so that it could be divided into four sections along the short axis, and also be divided in half along the long axis. That meant that it could be divided in a bunch of crazy ways as well, so I modeled a bunch of different dividers for it.

I also modeled the square bin as well, just in case I wanted "spares" that could hold additional stuff that could be swapped out without having to dump stuff from one bin to another. My bin is completely compatible with the Milwaukee bins. They stack on each other, the separator I made fits in the Milwaukee bin, and the Milwaukee separator fits in my bin.
