depending on what you're taking it for those 10 minutes can be worth it
also as far as we can tell most food safe plastic isn't even safe 🫠
With math, is it arithmetic that gives you trouble or the actual symbolic manipulation of mathematics?
I am hot garbage at keeping track of numbers but turn those fuckers into letters and (at least for me) it's off to the races. Then I just convert everything back to numbers in the last step before jamming it all into a calculator. This method saved my ass in 400-level biochemistry courses. (Annoyed the shit out of the grad students grading my exams, I'm sure...)
You may be better at "math" than you think :]
I just got a new job at a place where my coworkers are really into seasonal decorations, so I'm low key excited for winter
I would rather watch console output I don't understand scrolling by too fast to read than some dumb spinning dots >:[
I'm gay but I'm a lady so a regular log cabin is already pretty butch if I build it 😁

Isn't the ultimate issue enforceability? For a dev to be awarded some of the profit made off an open source project:
It would be fuckin rad if that happened and a dev got a huge payout and a legal precedent was set. But it'd be more rad if we didn't live in a society where this was an issue in the first place :[
I would say start with hobby-based circles. Look for local events and meetups (concerts, games, hobby shop events, etc.) as a way to meet people.
If you happen to like TTRPGs, in my experience that's a fast track to very close friendships that tend to have the deeper level of connection you're describing. My guess is because TTRPGs require good communication, the comeraderie tends to come naturally faster than any other given group of people. It's never a guarantee, but it's certainly worth a try if you're already into tabletop games or are curious to get into them
I hope you find excellent homies ASAP, wherever you find them :]
I think it's more likely that the consistent quality is a side bonus from most of 3M's customers being other corporations, not individual consumers
If 3M only sold painter's tape to the public, most of the public will buy it whether it's crap or not because most of the public only needs to put up with painter's tape occasionally
However if a large commercial real estate company who goes through palettes of painters tape suddenly has to start ordering 1.5x as many palettes because some of the tape is defective, they'll threaten 3M with cancelling a multi-million-dollar contract that will hurt 3M's quarterly spreadsheets.
That is until inevitably someone at 3M gets the idea to start producing a cheaper "consumer grade" painters tape and then everyone who doesn't have a relative in building maintenance who can swipe a pro grade roll for you is SOL
