    And I 1000% Believe my mom and her mom can take partial credit for my achievements.

    And I’ll all but guarantee you they did those things simply because they love you, not because of some grandiose idea of a “legacy” or a desperate need to live beyond their death.

    Planning for the future in order to care for your family and friends is an expression of love, not ambition.

    Never had any ambition or dreams that was greater than 1 life time

    Nope. That way lies delusions of grandeur. Life is short and I’d rather focus on living it today rather than worrying about a “legacy” I’ll never experience.

    If you want any part of you to achieve something past the one life you have, children are the only way ambition can continue

    And that way lies the kind of entitlement that leads parents to think their children’s lives are their own.

    You aren’t achieving anything past your life. Your kids are. Their ambition is theirs, not yours. Stop thinking you can take credit for it.




  • Yeah in my build I have a short length of micro USB cable with a usb connector on one end and a 4 pin socket on the other that attaches to a usb breakout board mounted on the edge of the bottom plate. This let me place the usb port in a comfortable location while putting the teensy in a logical place in the case.

    Anyway, one of the joints connecting the cable to the 4 pin socket broke. Super easy fix. Other than that it’s been remarkably problem free, and as you say, even if I run into issues into the future, repairs are very easy (unless I ever have to replace the controller… that could be more of a pita).
