I don't think I've ever seen a Walmart cashier without a line. Doesn't matter how many cashier lanes and self checkouts are open. Find it hard to belief they are ever able to just stand around.

I started 3d printing during COVID when people started talking about printing masks. I realized quickly that that wasn't a great idea but I had the printer at that point. Discovered quickly that it's was fun and useful for all kinds of stuff.
Printing lead to microcontrollers and minicomputera as I came up with cool stuff to print for neat home automation and various other useful tools.
This led to having a couple Raspberries kicking around which led me to extensive, self-hosted home automation. That's my current obsession.
I'm wondering where this goes next.
