  • To my fellow ADHDers, how do you make yourselves engage with your hobbies?

    Jump

  • I use a planning tool where I add everything I need to do so I don't forget and/or procrastinate. I add my hobbies as regular chores in my daily todo list. Somehow, it's easier for me to think "I have to play video games today" rather than "I want to play video games today".

  • European skiing jacket for a beginner?

    Jump

  • Yeah the whole Mulliez group is quite problematic. There was a quite a backlash internally when they decided to remain operative in Russia. Source: my wife works in one of their shops.

  • Affordable options: Décathlon's Wedze range is dedicated to skiing. I don't ski but I often cycle in cold, heavy rain and my 500-series jacket has always been top notch.

    Expensive options: a lot of Nordic/Scandinavian brands. They know their snow and winter gear. Didriksons, Fjällräven, Helly Hansen, Bergans etc.. Here are a lot of examples.

  • I have started to read a lot more. Any EU e-book reader you can recommend?

    Jump

  • Kobo is definitely not European (Canadian company owned by Rakuten). But I can't deny they are really good. Me and my family own several of them and they all are solid, reliable and very open.

  • Trying to design a simple photo frame. Please help me understand these print issues.

    Jump

  • Yeah the most valuable skill when designing parts is to learn how to design for the process. Print orientation should be decided in the earliest stage so as to maximize strength where it counts, reinforcements to compensate for layer lines weakness should be baked in. FDM prints behave like wood: strong across the grain, weak through the grain.

    If it wasn't for the groove, my first advice would have been to redesign the part so it could be printed sideways.

    Jump

  • Yeah sure.

    Something like that:

    The triangular cross section would be much easier on the printer.

  • There are a few major issues with your design that we could fix to make it work.

    • your feet connect to the frame at a right angle. You're concentrating all the forces on a single layer line that would easily fail. Spread the forces by adding a fillet between the feet and the frame
    • your vertical and free standing parts are waaaaay too thin. From empirical observation, I'd say anything free standing under 5mm thickness is guaranteed to fail. You could easily add strength by using a triangular or U-shaped cross section. Not only the part will be much more rigid and solid, but also more stable while printing. Think I-beams or U-beams vs. flat stock in construction, with the added issue of the massive anisotropy of FDM fabrication.
    • As others have said, if you absolutely want to keep it thin, print the frame separately from the feet flat on the back so the forces are perpendicular to the layers. A V-shaped groove will print without supports. 45degs will be fine, depending on your printer you might event get away with shallower angles.
    • if you want to keep it as a single part, you might consider printing it at 45 degrees from vertical. Layers would have much more surface area compared to the current flimsy ones, and you might even not need as much bulk as vertical printing. Most usual forces would be spread at 45 degrees too, which, while not ideal, would be much more solid than parallel from them.

  • Bold of you to assume McD's patties are pure meat. Probably half the weight is extra fat and pink slime, so you can easily double that.

  • List of all confirmed FIFA World Cup '26 sponsors. You know what to do.

    Jump

  • Same here in France, however most "craft" supermarket beers, unless very local, are actually owned by massive conglomerates. There is/was a huge wave of craft breweries buyouts starting about 10y ago to get their greasy fingers in this juicy market.

    Jump

  • Just avoid shit lagers and supermarket whiskies (most of whom are shit too). Almost any independent brewery produces infinitely better beers anyways.

  • What are some good media that un-glorify conflict?

    About a true believing, groomed from birth teenager starting to question and escape a fascist, rapey, ultra-militarized hellhole. Her mental journey is superbly written. Also includes gay awakenings.

  • Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever

    Jump

  • Yeah this one is much more recent.

  • Sudo disbelief

    Jump

  • Yes, but contrary to atomic distros, it's not explicitely designed to be as administration free as possible.

  • Let me introduce you to atomic distros.

    I moved my father on Bluefin 1.5 years ago from his antique MacBook Air. He doesn't know sudo exists. He has never heard of ujust. He doesn't even command line. He hasn't had to do a single update because it all happens in the background. He just.. uses it.

  • Wine 11 brings huge WoW64 overhaul, NTSYNC boost, and better gaming on Linux

    Jump

  • I mean, could you trust a company that created a Linux container subsystem for Windows and named it Windows Subsystem for Linux to name things correctly?

  • Smartwatch

    Jump

  • Doesn't Garmin leak data like a sieve too?

    I have a Polar Ignite 3 which is basic but largely sufficient for my needs.

  • Can you recommend a router made in EU? Need to replace the one I currently have. Nothing fancy is required.

    Jump

  • Ok you convinced me. I've been wanting to get an extra access point in my home office for quite some time because I have a lot of dropped meetings and shitty WiFi speeds despite having a 1Gbps fiber. I just ordered a Mikrotik hAP ax S, which manages to be both cheaper and seems much more versatile than "big brand" access points.

  • The power, the absolute power!

    Jump

  • I finally bought left-handed scissors at the ripe old age of 35. It's amazing once you adjust to it. But you have to unlearn everything first. The "looking under to see where I cut" pose. The awkward painful reverse-grip to force the blades together. The fact that ergo handles are actually more comfortable than symmetric ones and not infinitely more painful.
