  • My brother went to the same gas station in a small town, every day. Knew the staff by name. Went there for years.

    One morning he pumps a few bucks of gas, then absentmindedly drives away.

    Now I get it, a drive off is a drive off, and the cashier ain't gonna lose his job. But it was like $10, in a small town (two stoplights), he knew these guys, they knew him. Float my bro $10 and figure it out later.

    But no, they called the cops, sent officers to my grandma's house trying to find him, almost gave her a heart attack.

    He never went back after that. Which was a maybe a little extreme.

    But listen, this is the type of town, and my family was the friendly trustworthy type, such that I've overdrafted at the bank by a few bucks, and had the cashier catch it and put her own money to cover me. They knew my mom better than me, but still.

  • Also ADHD here, but perhaps a different blend? At any rate, I function 🤷‍♂️

  • I was a heavy coffee drinker until they found my heart defect.

    Now I have no caffeine, doctor's orders, for 22 ish years now.

    Sometimes I'll sneak a sip of coffee if I have a migraine, it helps. But God help me I won't sleep that night.

    You don't realize how much of a tolerance to and a dependence on caffeine that you build up, until you're off of it for awhile, and try some again.

    It really has a powerful effect on you, even if you don't realize it right now.

    If I drank an energy drink right now, after being dry for so long, my heart would definitely race and I doubt I'd sleep for two days.

    I don't miss caffeine though, honestly. I don't wake up tired anymore, I just, wake up. And drink some water 🤷‍♂️ then go to work, feeling fine. Not amazingly energized, but not dragging either.. Just.. Normal 🤷‍♂️

    Caffeine is a drug like anything else. If you can get off the stuff for awhile, say 6 months? I bet you'll be amazed at how you feel, and you won't go back.

  • I've only had an ender 3, been printing on and off since 2019. At some point I have it to my buddy and got a 3v2.

    I know I should upgrade, but for my limited needs, I just haven't needed to 🤷‍♂️

    I print mostly PETG for functional parts, a little PLA for random stuff.

    I enjoy printing, and it's useful. But some months see no printing at all. Maybe that'd be different if the machine was less of a hassle to use.

    Compounding the issue, most of the time my machine has not had a full time home on any desk. So I have to pull it out and set it up. But we just moved and now there's room, I just haven't configured the space yet.

    We'll see.

    Always down for recommendations though, for a similar print volume and reasonable price point. Ie not prusa, as awesome as that would be.

  • Not an electrician, I always imagined the downed power line being close to the house, such that when you backfeed the transformer it doesn't have a load on it until the lineman grabs it and becomes the load.

    I imagine when your circuit that's still connected includes several houses or most of your neighborhood, then maybe you'd overload the generator? 🤷‍♂️ I don't know.

    Solar systems I do know, though. If you have a grid-tied solar system, that feeds power back into the grid, then when the power goes out, your batteries and inverters are all turned off automatically so they won't kill linemen. That's what's ironic about grid connected solar, you can't use it during a power outage. They only work when the power is on.

    Now if you have a standalone solar system, with a transfer panel where you can switch several circuits in your house to either run on the grid OR solar, then you can use solar whether the grid is up or down. But you can never feed the grid to make money back directly in that fashion.

  • I don't have any training or schooling in it, at all, I just enjoy computers since I was young 🤷‍♂️

  • Exactly. I use nano because it's always there, and if it's not somehow? It's in a preloaded repo. It's just so simple and easy.

    And I've used it to write code before, only several dozen lines at a time. And that's BEFORE I knew about the option to use modern key commands. (Learned that today).

    Now nano is unstoppable in my mind.

    If I learned vim or whatever, then on top of learning it, I'd have to stop and install it every single time. Bleh. No thanks.

  • Same same.

    Also frequently "gooseface"

  • My air fryer was free, it was broken and I fixed it.

    We use it occasionally, but I don't know that I'd buy another when it breaks

  • I have my fw13 plugged in almost all the time. So I set the battery max charge to 60%.

    If I really need more juice, I can set it back to 100, but I basically never need that.

  • Samsies. I also got the amd version that came out before the AI 300 stuff, so it was discounted, which was nice

  • Blackberries on sale $0.50 a package here in Michigan right now

  • I think that's the problem.

    Winter people probably like bundling up inside. Summer people are outside doing things. Most of my summer people friends, also enjoy winter activities, just maybe not as much as summer.

    Winter people must be... Terminally online? 🤷‍♂️

  • I've watched them three times. Always spaced out by many years. Just did it a week or two ago actually.

    The last two were extended. I don't even know what the theatrical looks like anymore. I can't imagine skipping scenes.

    Which scenes do you skip? And what are you fine skipping in the two towers?

  • That's probably true. It's one of the things we haven't tried yet, and I figured most people would be scared off by the idea and call it too complex, even if I said use Bisquick.

    A friend of ours has a portable/luggable pizza oven, and they make their own dough, and those pizzas are amazing. Just a lot of work to get everything rolling, so better done as a group while camping or something.

  • Yeah pizza was never cheap, but these days it's very expensive.

    Sometimes we make it at home, it's not that hard if you get the bag of premade dough powder, just add water, costs a dollar or two.

    But honestly? My cheat code is using tortillas. It's like 80% close enough to real thin crust, works well.

    Slap some spaghetti sauce on there (cheaper than pizza sauce per ounce, and similar enough), and some dry mozzarella. Maybe some pepperoni. A little garlic salt and some dried basil or whatever. Toss it in the toaster oven. Bob's your mother's brother.

    Personal pizza for less than a buck a piece. Or maybe A buck a piece? I haven't priced things in a minute.

    Honestly the most expensive part is the pepperoni. (Hint, buy it once, and freeze it, you don't need that many at once and it won't go bad).

  • All jokes aside, movement is healthy, even if just walking around the block, down the sidewalk, or down the street (I don't know where you live).

    Our bodies are made to move. And while I enjoy vegging out as much as the next person, and I definitely don't go to the gym, I try to go for a short walk at least once a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.

    Also not getting any sunshine at all can give you SAD.

    I highly recommend getting out of the house occasionally, for your long term health. You'll feel better too.

  • So basically if I slap emby on an open port, and point my domain to my IP, it'll work just the same. Connect is just for people without static IP addresses?

    I ask because most people say you can't put JF on an open port and call it good. Not safe.

    Emby is based on jf from years ago. Is it safe?

    Adhered so hard it delaminated the glass.

    Tinkercad not exporting holes? They don't even show up in the preview. Some of my previously working designs are also doing this.
