Oh no, you!

  • Good enough for me

  • Matrix chat is pretty popular on the fediverse. I don't have any specific communities to recommend, but I'm sure there's a suitable one out there.

  • As a mod I can answer the last part of your question: If it looks like a bot, smells like a bot, acts like a bot, guess what it is?; A duck.

    And ducks get banned.

    Just to clarify: Only the ones trying to pass as human. Utility bots (and ducks) are OK provided they are marked as such. Creating sockpuppet accounts for later use is not. While the boards I mod don't explicitly have rules against bots, zero interaction repost bots hoping to farm some upvotes do not help the community.

  • Reported for posting a picture of me without my consent.

  • Hydrochloric acid has a smell. That's definitely the only downside.

  • All I know is that citric acid is dirt cheap in powder form, especially if you don't need food grade.

    Add water, and mix to taste: When it's the most sour thing you've ever tasted, it's about right.

    Source: We use barrels of the stuff in the offshore industry to descale steel hardware that has been on the seabed. Just don't tell the HSE department that you're judging acid strength based on flavor, they'll only see the acid-part and freak out.

  • Tip: Anywhere you want to use vinegar for its chemical properties, but you want to avoid the smell, use citric acid instead.

  • I had a geophysicist explain this to me in detail after I quipped that our job was to make sure the dinosaurs didn't die for nothing.

  • Last year. My four year old was throwing a tantrum, so I carried/wrestled her to her room until she cooled down and was ready to talk about it.

    Outside of that, I was routinely kicked and punched every Tuesday and Thursday from 2016 to 2020 at Karate practice. You should've seen the other guy; not a scratch, as we were both wearing proper gear.

    Outside of that, I broke a guys nose in self defense in 2006.

  • First of all, I want to make sure we have the same definition of writers block:

    Inability to write because,

    • Don't know how to start
    • Don't know how to continue something already started
    • Lack of motivation

    I've found that something that works is to force a start. Pick a word, any word, write it, and then figure out a sentence. The sentence may not connect to anything, but that's not important. Try to expand the sentence into a paragraph. Then a scene. I find that scene building is a great way to get started, even if the scene itself is of questionable usefulness or quality.

    Don't sorry of it's poorly written. Embrace the potential for cringe. The important part is that you're writing. Think of it like warmup similar to the physical equivalents athletes do beforehand.

    How long to do this is all up to you. It may distract you from what you originally intended to write and become its own thing, or it might accidentally fit reasonably well with some unfinished work you have already saved. Either way, once you feel that creativity is properly flowing again, you can try to transition into writing what you intended to. You you can let the warmup-writeup become its own project (one of my better stories started as a warmup), or otherwise decide later what you're gonna use it for (if anything).

    It's hard to force motivation, but the above will at least (hopefully) get you into the right headspace.

    And then you write the rest of the owl.

  • .ml

  • Should be possible to mod it so that the original mechanical pedal works as the gas pedal for the new machine. Other than that, 10/10

  • We asked for the pedo files, not pedophiles!

  • They're boating aggressively!

  • "You and what army?"

  • I only do cosmetic stuff in JS. Anything that needs to be secure is handled by perl.

  • Same-ish. I'm fluent in Perl, but whenever I write a web backend I use ChatGPT to help me cook the JavaScript needed by the front end. No way in hell I'm learning Javascript without a gun to my head.

    Filament splicing? Do any of you guys do it?

  • Saved you a click: It's china. Everyone would've believed it.

  • In 2008, I was fed up with a combination of wage slavery and freelancing, so I started looking around for a proper career. I found a job posting on monster.com for something called "seismic survey technician". I was severely underqualified and I had no idea what it was, but it involved computery stuff with and emphasis on Linux and other unix systems, in addition to international travel which sounded interesting, so I sent in my application out of curiosity.

    I ended up getting the job, turns out dicking around with Slackware and FreeBSD for 10 years was actually useful. Over the years since then I've carved out a pretty comfy niche in the industry.
