Mother’s Day presents from the family, with LEGO Bamboo on top of the bag
I feel like honesty in a relationship is key. So whenever prepping Mother’s Day presents, I feel it’s best to let her know she’s been bamboozled right up front.

One of my teammates had to evacuate their house this week due to a gas main break, from a fiber install.
Immediate thoughts:
1. Oh no, hope everyone is okay!
2. Fuck yeah. It's about damn time the fiber peeps started punching back.

I’m doing pretty well recently, but not like so well that I have a lot of patience for ignorant people saying stupid things about suicide and depression.

You can grab these plates from a local metal shop, Amazon, etc. (these were $26 for 4 of the 6x6" for reference). Look for 1/8" hot rolled steel - you don't need anything thicker that'd be harder to drill and such.
If you're doing this, please send pics! I love seeing new ideas.
Workbench looking-up shot with metal plates mounted underneath the shelves and various tools mounted via magnets to those plates: 3-2-1 blocks, wire strippers, tape measures, magnetic parts bowls, spare magnets, tilt meter, and various other odds and ends.
So anyway, I like this setup to utilize space and hope it helps someone else. It’s a great way to use your under-shelf space in a workshop and I’ve used it for years. Its just plates and a stack of neodymium magnets, stick one where you want to hang anything metal and…that’s it, super handy:
Test fit of torque wrench case on top of the plates we installed to see how position looks.
Neodymium magnets (too large to fit) placed as example against the plastic webbing of the open torque wrench case showing how we can go about this.
Actual magnets (much smaller neodymium bar stacks) placed in the bottom of the case ready for foam re-insertion and use!
Torque wrench case magnetically mounted to the wall using the in-case magnets for horizontal staying power and a much stronger Magswitch magnet at the bottom effectively acting as a shelf so it doesn’t slide down.
I needed to get this torque wrench out of the way, and luckily the case has reinforcement sections we can tuck some magnets in easily to below the form-fitting foam.
In order to make this easier to get on/off, I used smaller magnets in the case and a Magswitch beefier one to be a shelf of shorts:
1 plate shown spaced out with a 1” think level used as a straight edge to keep the 6” plate in the middle of the 8” wide vertical space.
A plate 3 positions up (so we can stay consistent from middle with more forgiveness) clamped in place for drilling and screwing into garage shelf sides.
3 plates mounted and screwed - middle progress shot to 6 plates.
6 plates vertical screwed in and done giving a 6”x36” vertical metal plate area in the side of the shelves we can use magnets on!
Since the vertical area is about 8” across and I have a 1” thick level handy, I just used it ad a straight edge and clamped each plate so drill and screw and I went. When doing something like this, start in the middle so everything is more forgiving if somehow it gets a little off as you go.
Clear vertical space on side of garage shelves we can mount things! Roughly 38”x8”
Stack of 6” metal plates clamped and drilled for some consistency after scribing hole locations with calipers.
Same plate stack with holes now countersunk showing screws end up flush for a clean-ish look.
Quick project since plates came in: I like to use plates and magnets for simple tool storage. First up: drilling and counter-sinking plates, ordered a stack of 6” squash plates for this but if space on garage shelves:

Screenshot of a hex editor with a PE file open, on the left there's a tree with the headers, sections and other parts of the file format. On the right there's a typical table of bytes in hex.
Finally had time over the holidays to realize a long-standing dream of mine: a hex editor that knows about the PE file and .NET metadata format. You can click any byte and it will show you which data structure it is in the tree. Every byte is covered.

Oh yeah, looking great!
When I was a young writer, I received a LOT of rejections. Now, after decades of hard work, I am no longer young.
Awwwwww yeah, my years of taunting how the Office team already did it with .docx has finally paid off.

Wondering if you tried: mounting the RAM disk under the workspace, using relative path on checkout to avoid the copy, and if .NET 9 is already pre-installed on the image?

"We do code reviews on Thursdays."
In retrospect, it was probably the "If you aren't familiar with WinDbg, it's an older style text adventure game designed by sadists" comment that got me in trouble.
<3 This gets infinitely more respect from me than defending an initial conclusion in spite of new information. I’m wrong and dumb a lot too.
