1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I have a full drill press/mill at my dads shop and a few normal drill presses. Pretty nice tools to have

 

On day I'd like to have a full mill and lathe, but I gotta settle in one spot first, that shits heavy.

 

Sub’d cause I’ll be back in civilization tomorrow.

 

Oh we have a lathe too. My dad almsot got a cnc machine but then he talked him self out of it. Needless to say i was sad after lol

 

The LED Matrix on my Grad Cap is powered by an Arduino based chip loaded with some code I adapted in C++.

Took me forever to figure it out. I’m great at hardware, but when it comes to software I’m just not that good.

Here was my grad cap if anyone has hasn’t seen it yet, I’m sure I’ve posted it here before. It was a huge hit at graduation. First image is Interstellar, second one is from Die Hard.



Any fans of Top Gear? That’s the Toyota Hilux they set on fire.



I had to put this somewhere.

 

I need to obtain a lathe and mill. when i had access to them it was so nice making my own parts.

 

I hardly use them but my dad has them for his company so i can go to his shop whenever to use them

 

That has to be a Steering Rack in the box. Tell me I'm wrong.

 

I learned some basics of C to mess with Arduinos so I could make a CRT wristwatch. Things around here somewhere. Have some Nixie junk too that uses and Arduino for a necklace. Couldn't find a gal that would let me put a 250v dc-dc converter around her neck though.

 

brand new toyota rack for the taco.. with my old 3.4l block in the pic too

 

I had one of the square macs...i wanted a pc so i could play castles haha but my folks got a mac. I hated the thing...didnt realize how important it was at the time...

Man at 20 no more talk about age. I wish I was 20 again. I was a fn wild maniac sponsored skater and it was fantastic!

Turd gens man...only way they look good is w plated bumpers that cut the grill in half. Some of my first gen peeps say the same thing about the what have u done to your first gen thread. It can be a tough crowd at times as well. Maybe not as rough as the norcal thread

mmm fortune cookies! One of my weaknesses. Well all cookies for that matter

Graphic Card values have shot up in the past couple years from the resurgence of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency mining, so it hasn't been worthwhile at all to change out my GPU.

 

Jesus christo! You gonna take over the world with that thing lol

 

You gotta go full retard and do a Nixie tube watch like Steve Wozniac's.

All my friends are rocking 1060's and 1080's with brand new Intel Skylake chips and I'm still stuck in the old generation. Tech moves very very fast.

 

That it does! My cousins were way into tech and could never upgrade fast enough...its way over my head, but give me some illustrator n photoshop n i dissapear for hours jamin to some tunes

 

I had a friend who worked for Corsair, their old distribution hub was a 5 minute drive from my house. He gave me his employee discount so I got all my Corsair stuff at 60-70% off. I think I only ended up paying $250 or so for that 32GB kit of Corsair Dominator Platinum with the light bar upgrades, while it was retailing for almost $600 at the time.

 

I got a iphone 7, most advanced computer like thing i own
