    If you spend your working day in boots then $300 is not a great amount to spend on something that protects your feet. You don't want to have sore feet after just 30 minutes. I remember paying $140 for a pair (can't remember the brand) 40+ years ago and at the end of a 12 hour shift my feet felt like they were still walking on air.

    The Prusa printers are a real workhorse machine. We have about two dozen at the tech tips factory. One note about your MK3, it can be upgraded to a MK4 with an add-in kit, the kit is also not cheap. I like using them when I don't care about speed, I just need it to print accurately. If I want to print stuff fast, we have the Bambu units for small things and the Pantheon for big things. The Pantheon's head moves so fast that it pulls 3 Gs. It's nuts.

    Regarding the book "How Big things get done", once big projects get going you kind of have no choice but to finish it. Most people optimistically give low initial bids and optimistic time to completion estimates knowing full well that it's going to cost more and take longer but once it's past the halfway mark you have no choice but to continue the project regardless of cost or time estimates. That's true with my own personal projects too, I always go into the project optimistically but once I'm past that halfway mark I kind of have no choice but to just finish it and it cost what it costs and it takes as much time as it takes. I think that's just human nature.

Bought them direct at the Red Wing store in Red Wing Minnesota. Best boots I ever owned. Still have my match holder from like 50 years ago, been many miles and miles on trips. My dad had a Swiss Army knife all my life. It’s in my china cabinet to him. It was always in his pocket. It is the deluxe tinker model. Mom hated it because it wore a hole in the back right pocket where he kept it and she had to continually fix the pocket. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

I cannot say enough how great it is and it is awesome to see it recommended here. Even if you are not a visual thinking type person, it is a must read to help understand those that are. As someone who had a child diagnosed with ADHD early on in his life, it took years to realize that I was just like my son my ignored the signs. The book is not really about ADHD at all, but a lot of the thought processes are similar and it was a great read for my wife and I, and now my son finished it recently.

    I wait every week to watch your video, because I am subscribed to so many channels, your channel is the one I like the most. Over the past 2 years I have been down a very horrible personal life, I am very very happy for you because your wife said that she loves you. Please do not take it for granted, you truly do not know what you have until it’s not their anymore. Merry Christmas WWW!!!!!

    I loved this. You are a wealth of knowledge and experience and I'm lucky to be subbed to your channel. I also loved that mentioned the Python books because there's not a lot of mechanics that branch out into the programming side of things. But your troubleshooting approach shows how you take the time to understand the systems before trying to solve the problems so you can understand how it all works together. You seem like a solid dude and I really enjoy watching the dynamic between you and your wife. You're both very adorable together, but tell her you love her, you numskull! On a side note, there was a biopic about Temple Grandin a few years ago that anyone here with interest should watch. They show her childhood and struggles growing up. And later they show her success with animal management as a result of her thinking style from having autism. She also blazed a trail as a woman in her field way back when it was only men. I highly recommend that Temple Grandin film with Claire Danes. Happy holidays!

    I can't thank you enough for recommending the book, "Visual Thinking". I started reading it and was almost in tears before the end of the foreword. I have always felt like a failure because I didn't complete my degree in engineering. I always got flummoxed by calculus and could not go on to the engineering classes. I am not on the spectrum but so much of what the author describes applies to me. What a revelation! Thank you so much!

    I am probably somewhat of a visual thinker, but I still like the written instructions as well, as long as they are coherent. I did indeed have trouble with school, and not just due to my extremely low motivation for desk work. I actually liked geometry, which I took as a senior, 😂 but I have about zero understanding of algebra - and have never run across any need for it, over a lifetime of building and fixing stuff. But I figured out on my own how to extrapolate the actual height of a tire from the advertised size specs. As a kid, I wanted to be a truck driver, or a carpenter, or a mechanic, so I saw school as something I didn't really need, a sort of necessary evil, which at least gave me a chance to see friends and socialize.

    Regarding "How to Get Big Things Done" , I would ALWAYS err on the side of longer completion times and budgets (IC design and manufacturing company, the Advanced R&D division) and even my own boss would hard time me on that, but I was always in the end more accurate as the final costs and completions were longer than even MY estimates. Later we both saw eye to eye on some big projects we were both part of but didn't dream up, and finally got the ear of the VP to kill off some that would truly drain the coffers and offer nothing. NASA could take a few lessons from that book, Wes!

    @@joshhunter5614 keeping your money in the US decreases the quality of your products over time or raises the prices as it happens in other places around the world, it's a basic principle of economics. Trying to protect the local industry is a good thing to a point. In the global economy nowadays it's really interesting to see that Americans are acting in the opposite way capitalism teaches you to act. If you are certain that the quality of American products overall is better and you are willing to pay the price, be my guest but it definitely costs you more to buy American made products even if the quality is the same because American labor costs way more than Chinese labor. I think that most of the "American" products are made from parts made in China and are only assembled in the US.
