Better to learn it young! I know when I was younger I never listened to advice and had to learn things the hard way!

I've been putting off buying a nice bottle of Scotch for $100k but I'm going for it. I apologise in advance for the big dump and unreasonably long wait for $100k this causes

Yeah, that's probably a wise set of conditions! I didn't want to put too many conditions on a present. If they want to sell it or lose it somehow then they'll learn an important lesson.

I did the same for my nieces/nephew. Haven’t put any conditions in place though, they already lost the keys once, I kept a copy as I thought that would happen!

Bitcoin: nearing all time highs

Don't hate me but I've been trading that new shitcoin MSTR with a very small % of my portfolio 🤣

I’d guess the rumours will be worse than what they actually do. It’s already really bad, the Tories reduced the allowance massively!

Yeah, to a degree but it just seems to change to fast to get good at one tech stack before another “better” one comes along.

I’m just a bit jaded having spent 20years in the job! Working on a bright orange exit strategy this cycle!

Haha, I wouldn’t want to bore you with the details! I think fiat encourages “the current thing” in the dev world, lots of cash flowing around to create crappy new frameworks. Just making devs have to constantly learn new things!

In my fiat coding job I'm so bored of the "current tech stack" which changes every 5 minutes. I gave up trying to keep up years ago, maybe I'm just a shit coder but my eyes glaze over everytime we discuss which new tech stack we're gonna use on the next project.

Every new bullshit NextJS/React/Redux/Remix/Intertia bit of nonsense I use has shit docs and doesn't do the basics, like I just want to add a prefix URL to all assets or set a base path for API requests - nah, can't do that and Google doesn't know how to do it either.

Nice, I’ll have to try buying in bulk off the local butcher. Might save a bit of money with my steak habit! I guess just freezing in the SV bags I’ve got would work

Good tip! Can you freeze and then defrost to sous vide in the same bag?

Working on the control cavity for the Tele. A lot of trial and error going on!

This is about as close as it’ll let me get right now. Hopefully it’ll learn humans aren’t all scary soon…

I’ve got a feral kitten in my garden, have been feeding it and trying to get it used to my presence but it’s still very skittish. Not sure whether to try and trap it or continue to feed it while I sit there. It’s about 6months so taming at this stage is probably going to be pretty hard work!

Getting to the tricky bit now!

Shape routed out, next job route pockets and drill holes

I'm still learning too, guitars normally use "tone wood" which would be things like alder/basswood/ash etc. I've seen lots of people making Pinecasters though so hopefully this one sounds ok. The forming will be pretty much the same though regardless of wood type.

It’s a test piece really, I’ve got some nicer wood earmarked but I’ve never made one before so doing a pine/oak top test first.

Haha, always need more clamps! It's a guitar body, or hopefully will be!
