You arent kidding. I’ve been trying to justify spending $275 on some Super Red Ember Bees or “settle” for $150 on six Blonde Rubber Ducky isopods.

I have absolutely no idea how he kept his feet on that board during the slide under the wall. Actually amazing.

I’m running Action Launcher mainly for the alphabetized app drawer that pulls out from the left side of the screen and the “Covers” feature.

Clicking on Instagram opens up Instagram. Swiping up on it reveals the folder with all my social apps hidden inside. Nearly every icon is a cover.

Keeps all my apps really quick to access without cluttering up my screen. I only have the one home screen, no need for other pages with this feature and and frequently used app drawer that pops in from the right.

I’m using an icon pack called “Viral”.

I’ve been using a bunch of abstract backgrounds I generated using Midjourney a while ago. This is my current use one.

I can’t remember where I found this one, I’ve had it for a while, probably by searching “Oled phone wallpaper”.

Cool at a distance, eldritch horror nightmare when zoomed in.

That argument is a very short (not very detailed) way of surmising the current issue with our world as a whole.

Don’t like how cars have taken over the world, are the reason cities are hard to live in for low income families, and cause massive amount of climate damage? You can thank the 1% for that.

Frustrated with how you don’t really own anything, your digital “property” can be taken away from you at a moments notice, and that everything you enjoy gets stuffed with schemes to make more money off of vulnerable people? You can thank the 1% for that.

Angered that health care costs truly absurd amounts, that medicine is sold to the consumer with a 10,000% mark up, or that a single accident that was not their fault could land someone in debt for life? You can thank the 1% for that.

A disturbing amount of things that are not good for our planet, keep the poor people poor, and generate inferior products/experiences is directly because of the insane power that the rich hold over our worlds systems.

“It helps someone I don’t like because they are richer than me” is actually a wonderful definition of harm.

Reddit used to be an amazing place of community and content that you couldn’t find anywhere on the internet. Then in the pursuit of money and the power that the 1% have Reddit (the company) started implementing practices that actively made the experience worse for the user, violated a person’s ownership of their content, and removed choice just like authoritative/dictatorship governments do.

It feels to most people that there is nearly nothing that can be done about it. So when a person has the opportunity to directly go against the rich caste in our world they will take that opportunity immediately.

I recommend taking a hard look at the things that concern you with our world, or cause you pain/annoyance/discomfort and try and learn WHY the issue is the way it is. The majority of the time is because some rich person/group of people (I’m looking at you lobby groups) has an obscene amount of power compared to all of the people affected.

Lastly there is a reason that “Tax the rich/Eat the rich” is the rally cry of generations.

It’s because the rich cause us harm.

oh wow, I totally forgot about Harvey Krumpet. What a bizarre little tale.

She also weighs as much as a truck!

It’s your for the low low price of redacted!

Thanks, it is very satisfying to type on. Oh… If you value your wallet, keep your knowledge of this hobby on an acquaintance only level.

I’ll have to get back to you on that. These will be my first ABS Keycaps. I didn’t plan it this way but my last 5 (6?) sets have all been PBT. Obviously I’m not worried about the legend disappearing but I’ll have to give a 6 month check in on the texture/feel.

The closest you are going to get is one of the Keychron customs Q6, K10, K5. They lack in the design department and some of the nice meterial options but are functional if you want a full custom layout.

Trying to find really nice full layout keyboards is basically a unicorn hunt.

I kept eyeballing the Keychron Q6 or the Ducky One 3 but neither scratched the itch for design and or aesthetics that I was looking for. or materials for that matter. Quality full size custom keeboards are almost non-existant. I think I’ve found maybe 6 total.

Thanks!

let’s see… If I mortgage my house, sell the car, my spare kidney and possibly a leg… I might be able to afford the Lens cap.

This has given me an absolute aneurysm. I saved something to show the wife only for it to not be there when I went looking. I found the post the long way and sure enough it was still saved.

Maube it was a glitch…

Unsave and resave. still can’t find it. rinse and repeat.

Eventually found out about the saving order quirk and sure enough all the way at the bottom was the saved post in question.

These have much better color rendering. They don’t feel as washed out.

This feels like a great candidate for bracket exposing/HDR to help with the image impression. The whites near the top got blown out in these photos a bit to much. It looks like your camera is on a Tripod so if your camera can’t do auto exposure bracketing I would take one photo a stop underexposed (to get the whites) one correctly exposed, and one over exposed. Then through them into a photo editor of your choice (gimp is free) andess with the layering to get the right blend. Some programs also do auto HDR merge.

If I were taking this photo I would probably try to lean into the color and texture rather than the 3d shape of the onion/chives/scallions. I would go for a ring light around the camera or a couple of softboxes and reflectors to eliminate as many of the shadows as possible depending on what you have on hand. One of those cheap photo boxes off Amazon might just to the trick for something like this.

Some, I’ve used blender and fusion 360 for my resin prints. Blender isn’t great for cad work obviously but has worked for some things and definitely for the more artistic stuff.

I really love Fusion 360 but want to get rid of their dumb payment system but have yet to find a free alternative that is as easy to use. I use fusion maaaaybe 2 times every 3 months and like unlike blender it doesn’t feel like I have to keep using it constantly to remember all the shortcuts and menus etc. It just kind of works for the vast majority of stuff I do. I used to use Sketchup back when it was a real program and wasn’t online only.

Currently? Back pain.

But in general my brain is dumb and does some dumb stuff.

The other night I wanted a nice cup of earl grey lavender tea to help me relax because I couldn’t fall asleep. Problem being was we had ran out of loose leaf tea bags. I dug out the small box of tea strainers we have collected over the year only to find out one hadn’t been properly cleaned and was slightly moldy. Others were surface rusted or tarnished.

My sleep deprived brain decided that the best decision was to pull out the dental picks, dremel tool, and other cleaning picks to get these tea strainers in tip top shape.

This is how my wife found me sitting on a bar stool hunched over the kitchen sink deep cleaning tea strainers at 3:30 in the morning.
