  • nope. I was awake. listening to the music they were playing and eventually just went to sleep. my eyes were already closed since the lights were so bright.

    dentist actually woke me up and thought I passed out. said it was the first time he’s ever seen that happen.

    had a good chuckle out of it and finished up.

    in my mind I was on a beach with the radio playing at the bar/cabana. sun in my face, etc. it’s amazing how easily you can trick your mind into believing you’re somewhere else.


  • it’s always the abuse.

    my wife was neglected as a child and always told to “walk it off”.

    our first child, she didn’t have any pain mitigation. the nurses were horrified but morbidly curious.

    when she says it hurts I believe it would incapacitate a normal person.

    personally, I have worked on mind-over-matter pain mitigation (I fell asleep during a root canal) but hers takes it to a whole new level.





  • PLA warps over time even at low heat. that said, as long as you have good airflow it shouldn’t be a problem to use it for housing, but anything directly contacting the drives might warp.

    I thought about doing this myself and was leaning towards reusing drive sleds from existing hardware. it’ll save on design and printing time as well as alleviate problems with heat and the printed parts.

    the sleds are usually pretty cheap on ebay, and you can always buy replacements without much effort.
