  • What online sidehustles can i do as someones who stuck at home alot?

    Jump

  • That's a fair point. I personally have found that trying to monetize my hobbies also sucks the joy out of them, but I'm coming from a point of privilege in that I make a decent salary and can afford to have leisure time without focusing on my income.

  • If there's something that interests you, you should try it! I know it sounds cheesy, but Wayne Gretzky was spot on when he said you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

    If I hadn't tried out 3D printing on a whim, it never would have become one of my primary interests. In the same vein, I never would have gotten into electronics design, started brewing my own beer, gone to a punk rock show, got back into reading fantasy, or met my partner.

  • Not really what you're asking for, but do you have any hobbies? It sounds more like you're bored than anything else. There are plenty of ways to engage your time that are far more fulfilling than watching number go up.

  • Clever trick to Un tangle a spool

    Jump

  • It's really easy to make a clove hitch- One loop basically just needs to slide under another. It isn't difficult to imagine that the machine could have a little bit of play or backlash that could affect the ends of a layer in this manner.

    I've actually seen similar things happen with winches used to drive automated effects in live entertainment.

    Jump

  • Honestly idk. It's happened to me before, but not in the last several years. I know it wasn't my fault because the tangles were deep in the spool and only uncovered late in a print, so it's unlikely to have been caused by user error during handling or filament loading.

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

    Jump

  • That's totally fair. I'm not super familiar with them myself, but some of my colleagues used to rave about the brand. I also haven't really carried a multitool for the better part of the last five years, since I changed careers and work in an office now lol.

    I like their offset driver design and wish leatherman would come up with something similar- it sucks balls to drive a little screw with any of the leathermen I've owned.

  • Kirkland isn't a typical store brand though, most offerings are just a repackaged name brand from what I understand

    (This is not a dig at you, I just think it's funny bc I've never seen one outside the context of an elementary school music class)

  • I've found Gerber to be a very close second. Depending on what you're looking for in a multitool, I think some of their stuff is better.

  • Fastest way to discredit oneself, imo, is to slather a big fucking slop image that contributes less than nothing across the top of an article

  • Some cheaper brands have poor QC to save on cost, so spools will occasionally have some tangles in it.

  • Problem is that fair use doesn't prevent a dmca takedown. It doesn't really matter until you go to court and prove it, unfortunately. These takedowns are functioning exactly as designed, allowing for easy corporate censorship with minimal repercussions for abuse.

  • New: Early Access developers can list their planned "1.0" release date

    Jump

  • I feel like I've seen it before, but maybe that was just listings for full games that were available for wishlist/preorder prior to release. The article says there was no official place for a 1.0 early access release in the system prior to this.

  • New: Early Access developers can list their planned "1.0" release date

    Jump

  • It would definitely help filter out bad faith early access games from projects by indie devs who genuinely need the funding to continue development.

    I think restricting the ability to modify that date once set and showing all previous dates if they get bumped would make this a really useful tool.

  • What do you talk with family about?

    Jump

  • If you have a healthy relationship with your mom, it could be that she just wants to connect- it's a normal thing in relationships, especially if you don't see each other all the time or aren't very involved in each others' lives.

    My parents live on the opposite side of the country from me, so I typically only get to see them a few times a year. To keep in touch, I talk to both my parents on the phone pretty frequently.

    My dad and I talk probably more days than we don't. We chat about work, hobbies, and sometimes the news. He and I are both engineers and we're on a similar wavelength, so we get pretty deep into work and I go to him for career advice.

    I talk to my mom maybe once or twice a week and usually it's about more surface-level stuff: the dog, family updates, my relationship, and what we've been up to lately.

  • AI controls is coming to Firefox

    Jump

  • The thing is, those features are older than LLMs (as in they've been implemented elsewhere). The only one of these that an LLM is even conceivably useful for is translation. I don't need firefox to tell me how to group my tabs- I'll group them in the way I want, when I want to do so.
