  • This is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for, thanks!

  • Just some examples of things I've printed or plan to. Ones marked with an asterisk (*) at the end are ones I largely or entirely designed myself or plan to largely or entirely design myself. Ones marked with a plus (+) are ones that are half completed. Minuses (-) are ones I haven't started yet but intend to.

    • Wall mounts for Nintendo Switch components (dock, controllers, Joycon charger, etc.) Definite space saver. *
    • Wall mount for a Raspberry-Pi-based NAS solution. *
    • Parts to augment a computer chassis wall mount for my ridiculously-large chassis. (Yes, there's a bit of a pattern there.) *
    • A custom Raspberry Pi case that mounts nicely and nondestructively to my desk.
    • A custom adapter for my drill that let me run the drain in my washing machine when the motor was broken. *
    • A custom plate to cover my nightstand clock face so it doesn't shine in my eyes all night. *
    • A custom die for a Sizzix Die Cutting Machine for quilting use. (That one took a lot of work.) *
    • A custom tool for precisely bending 16mm steel strapping (which I'd sharpened into a blade) in service to the custom die just above. *
    • Custom yarn bowls for my crafty mother. *
    • Custom stitch markers for my crafty mother. *
    • Custom barrel buttons for my crafty mother. *
    • A couple of custom mounts for SAD lamps. *
    • Custom shelving for a bathroom. *
    • Custom mods for some wire shelving in the same bathroom. *
    • Custom mount for a reflector mirror to let me see more with the security camera on my front porch. *
    • A tool for straightening 3D-printing filament. *
    • Spacers for mounting a peg board on the wall.
    • I also had a folding door that broke and got kinda janky. I had a few extra of those peg board spacers, and they turned out coincidentally to be exactly the right size to properly shore up that door.
    • Custom shelving for DVDs/Blurays and video games. *+
    • A custom shelf-drawer for my mousepad. *-
    • A custom 3D printed mechanical keyboard... once I'm done writing the program for rapidly prototyping 3D-printed keyboards. *+

    I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch. And the above is only the useful things and excluding the mostly art/fun items.

    I have in mind to do more 3D-printing of tools. I don't have much specifically in mind. But that custom steel strapping bender is pretty cool. Also, some of what I mentioned above is available on my Thingiverse.

  • Let's all block each other.

  • Oh sweet. I've been hearing how great this talk was and looking for a place where I could watch a video of it. Thanks.

  • There are games I pay for, but only on Nintendo consoles. Aside from that, it's strictly write it myself or go without.

    I definitely should donate to more FOSS projects, though.

  • I don't often get super pissed about advertising, but Draft Kings has been super aggressive about advertising in my areas (maybe in every area in the U.S., not sure.) If I never hear "the crown is yours" again, it'll be too soon.

  • The true communism.

  • Some vaccines don't really guarantee anything beyond reducing your chance of ending up in a hospital (and they can be less good even at that if the particular strain that you get isn't the one you were vaccinated for.) For some vaccines, even vaccinated, you can still get the disease you're vaccinated for and have anything from a couple weeks of being sick to life-long debilitating effects.

    All else being equal, unless you have some particular reason why you're not a good candidate for a particular vaccine, the significant majority of people are much better off vaccinated than unvaccinated, but vaccinated doesn't necessarily mean safe to go lick doorknobs or, case in point, dine with a dozen relatives, whether those relatives are vaccinated or not. And of course there are plenty of reasons why OP might be at higher risk than most.

  • Did you consider wearing an N95 and washing hands thoroughly upon departure

    Not OP, but if the main attraction of the "holiday event" is a meal, it's not like you can wear an N95 mask to eat. I suppose it'd be an option to make a quick appearance and then bow out before the meal, but it sounds like OP's family's would just be assholes to OP if OP showed up just to leave early (and was also assholes when OP declined to show up entirely.)

  • I will never understand why an almost-entirely-text-with-a-few-images blog entry (that's not even all that long) cannot scroll at a rate of even 1fps on a Raspberry Pi 4.

  • My pixels too are insufficiently numerous.

  • One egg white omelet with a side of yolk.

  • And that's before he soaks it in the blood of innocents.

  • Serious question: how do you start that conversation with a coworker if you're not 100% certain they'll be receptive?

  • I use Lemuroid on Android. Works well. On F-Droid. Nothing about it has prompted me to search for alternatives, so no idea how it stacks up against other options.

    Also, EasyRPG Player on Android for RPG Maker games. (I played the original Yume Nikki not terribly long ago via EasyRPG Player.) Also on F-Droid. Also worked great.

  • Bookmarked that shit so fuckin' hard.

  • Ska ftw

  • Everything you ever hear a right-winger accuse the left of, you can bet on the fact that the right's doing it themselves.
