  • I made a new friend last night. She's super fucking cool

  • Or even better, just run Linux and avoid Microsoft entirely

  • Interesting. Thank you

  • Wait I assumed what Americans call jelly IS jam? Wtf is jelly if that's not the case?

  • We didn't do speeches at my wedding. It was awesome

  • As a fellow South Australian, I had the same thought. This is NOT an Australian issue, this is a Sydney issue.

  • What's the alternative? How do other people live?

  • My school taught Indonesian. It was a very popular complaint among students that we should be learning a more ubiquitous language like French, German, Japanese, Mandarin, or Spanish.

    The only thing I know in Indonesian is ular besar (big snake)

  • If you like this, Benn Jordan has a ton of incredibly good videos

    • A half-decent soldering iron is way better than a super cheap soldering iron.
    • Plan the build as much as you can, and then order all the parts at once. This way you're not tied up waiting for parts to ship which kills momentum.
    • Wires take up more space in an enclosure than you think.
    • If you can order 3 of something for not much more money than 1. Do it. It'll allow you to build up stock of things you use. That way when you get an idea, you'll have parts on hand.
    • Allow yourself to fail. Some ideas sound good but aren't. It's ok to abandon a project.
    • Lean on the community. If you have an idea for a project, someone's probably done it before. Look it up, see how they did it, learn from their mistakes. You can stand on the shoulders of giants and you absolutely should.

    Not to discourage you but that is a super ambitious first project. If you want a good audio player but don't want to spend a ton, I have the fiio snowsky echo. It's super affordable, but surprisingly powerful. It drives my 250 ohm headphones without issue. No way you're DIY'ing anything that good for its price. However if you want to DIY a music player just because you want to, absolutely go for it!

  • Several times, but there was a limit to how much I felt comfortable charging someone for 3d printed plastic

  • I do a lot of things for fun that I could theoretically make money from. I model and 3d print stuff, I woodwork, I make electronic projects, I'm a musician, and a software engineer.

    Sometimes I'll get people saying stuff like "you could sell XYZ". I tried it. I had an Etsy store where I sold my 3d prints. It was successful. Too successful. I was working my day job and then spending most of my free time printing and sanding and painting and talking with customers and dealing with shipping.

    Initially I thought how great to be able to spend all my free time doing something I enjoy. In the end i thought how dreadful it is to spend basically all of my time working.

    It fucking sucked. I'm glad to have had that experience, but now I know It's actually super important to have hobbies that are just hobbies.

  • We Australians are taught about bushfires and their dangers from a very early age. Those who live in a bushfire danger zone are well aware of it, and should have a bushfire safety plan.

    This article paints a picture that Australians are ignorant or naive about bushfires that I don't buy. Bushfire safety has been drilled into us for a very long time

  • My understanding of climate control systems is that it does only provide maximum heat or cool. There's a temperature sensor in the cabin that tells the car when it's at the right temperature, but until that point is hit, it is heating or cooling as much as it can.

    The only difference between climate control and traditional a/c is it knows when to stop and when to turn on again

  • Dinner at 22:00, bed at 23:00. Am I old?

  • If only I had a spare 300TB of storage

  • I'm confused as to where you fit in the Millennial demographic for you to have not known this already

  • But it doesn't mean "whatever causes a good outcome must not be bad".

    It means that sometimes for the greater good, you have to pay a price.

    Think of the trolley problem, would you kill 1 person to save 5? Many people would say yes. They're not saying murder is good, but the ends justify the means

  • Primarily streaming, although I have a digital media player loaded with tons of FLACs that I use when I'm out and about or in the garden.

    I also have a growing record collection of about 100 or so records so I do listen to a lot of records when I'm home.

    I don't really have a favourite band, it changes depending on what I feel like but currently I've been listening to

    • Thornhill
    • Gojira
    • King gizzard and the lizard wizard
    • Tool
    • Animals as leaders
    • Smashing pumpkins
    • Catslash
    • Lorn
    • Fcukers
