@oppen Whoa! Iβm currently working on getting an old Fuji converted to fixie, but I also have a mountain bike found on the side of the road. Its rear wheel hub is no good for my original plans, but this inspires looking into a rear-wheel electric conversion kit eventually. Sweet bucket seat.
@oppen Do you have a daily driver?

@metkis @megabyteGhost thereβs a common term for this, the βPeter principleβ, if you havenβt heard of it. basically ppl will be promoted until theyβre doing something they arenβt competent at, or donβt enjoy doing etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle
@megabyteGhost Ahh! Yeah. That's tough. Definitely smart to pay a competent, experienced, and valuable employee more to be a newly disgruntled manager.
@megabyteGhost it does seem down your alley given your bio.
It is frustrating that the only upward momentum in many design careers is towards taking on a form of people management.
You find something you are proficient at and enjoy doing, yet somehow the logical way to βadvance your careerβ is to phase out the parts you enjoy in favor of guiding other people to do it.
Very silly.
@neauoire You did mention you didn't get enough exercise on the boat, I suppose that would do it.
@neauoire What is the backup plan if the 2 remaining batteries fail? It sounds like the 4 afforded you some clearance you might not have with the 2. The total power might not have been necessary, but is the redundancy? Also, does it worry you that it diminish/degrade the existing batteries faster?
@tendigits whoa thank you so much!!
@zens Yeah, that's what I'm asking about. I'm not sure of a reliable service that can help with the manufacture side.
@zens That's brave! I don't think I'll be hand-making them; too difficult for me.
Anyone here have experience designing and selling enamel pins + knows a reliable place to order them from? I would enjoy looking into it and learning to do so, even if I just ended up with a bunch of silly pins to give away.
Everything is copaesthetic. Copascetic. Copathetic..?

I do some amateur photography as a hobby, and thought I'd share some photos from time to time. These were taken from two trips this month: Cape Disappointment and Olympic National Park.
I anticipate spending a LOT more time in the National Park.
