Mine right now off the top of my head is Adam Savage, former co-host of Mythbusters years ago. I sometimes watch his Tested videos whenever he answers questions and he answers them very thoughtfully.

it feels similar in egregious price to getting room service, and you don’t even have to talk to the guy, and you can convince yourself it’s nice to treat yourself you’ve been working hard etc etc. you don’t have to do any dishes or think about all the rotten shit in the fridge. it can feel like a legitimate mental break,...
I don’t mean to make anyone feel bad- I know this sentiment cause I’ve had it a bunch of times.€17 for a coktail? never… well, you know, I spent €70 on a meal I didnt even like two days ago, fuck it
my close friend just volunteered as a poll worker for the PA presidential primaries which was held in a church, and she sent me a photo of the very anti-choice pamphlets they had laid out not exactly in line-of-sight to where you walk into and through to vote, but very, very close by
I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don’t want people to use their shit anymore. I’m starting to believe in the dead internet theory.

Not a 3D designer now, finally went back to college for something else in my 20s… anyway, rip my dad and rip the zip drive, they were cool. 100mb wow

I always thought the neatest thing about pinhole work is the aperature is so small the depth of field is gigantic, so you can put a lego figure a few inches away from your pinhole camera with, say, a car in the background and both the car and the lego guy will be in focus so it creates the illusion that the lego guy is huge
