This entire thread is fantastic, but this particular part is something that I’ve tried to start working on in my own work environment.
Have the agency to change the things in your life that suck. They may be small, but even one less thing is an improvement.

So story became "Every day, I'm going to look at one small thing about this job or processes here that drive me crazy, and address that. I'll stop telling a snarky depressing story of how fucked we are during team meetings. We all know we're fucked. Talking about how fucked we are changes nothing."

About the Mariners-Blue Jays game, I can’t even be mad. Both teams played so hard over the seven games.
I’m mostly just disappointed that I got my hopes up so high for them to be dashed like usual

Toronto played a good game, that Gausman is a heck of a pitcher.
But wow, I’m so glad the Mariners pulled off that win! Keep it up, team!

This thread made me realize that the we’re taught math seems to be that = is “causes”, or “X+Y causes Z”
At some point, maybe when when I started programming, my brain made the connection that the real meaning of = is “is”

And at that moment, I felt like my brain had been struck by lightning, because it all snapped into place.
Because of *how engineers* tend to be taught, and how they tend to USE equations, he was thinking of the equations as *causitive*. Left side *causes* right side.

A 3D Printing life hack I just discovered is that old Quilt Racks can make for good filament storage.
Just got done painting mine to look more nerdy/techy instead of plain wood, but I don’t think I actually _needed_ to do that.
