You’ve got a few of my suggestions so I’ll follow up with…
youtube.com/adafruit if you like electronics
youtube.com/@physicsgirl hopefully she’ll be back from her long covid at some point soon
youtube.com/@britishmuseum no one presenter but a good range of curators

We have an ad for ice-creams in NZ that covers this topic youtu.be/h-Lx2ihpGbc
- Comment on "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no? 4 weeks ago:
I tend to say something along the lines of “what’s your problem?”
Gives an opening to hear more without committing, and makes it clear it’s still THEIR problem.
- Comment on Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours 4 weeks ago:
Is that necessary for plastic? The name comes from the Greek for “to mould”. For me, anything that makes long chain mouldable polymers is a plastic. Milk makes Casein or Galalith plastic, PLA is commonly made of corn. There’s a ton of bamboo fabrics that are essentially nylon made from cellulose.

There’s a lot of sodium in most fizzy drinks, wonder if that rules them out for this. Or does it have to be sodium chloride specifically?
- Comment on Heat setting magnets is bad. 1 month ago:
I tend to solder at around 350C, so that’s entirely possible
- Comment on Heat setting magnets is bad. 1 month ago:
I just stack the magnets first to get them all in the same polarity, and insert them, using the stack to push it into the hole, with a press fit they won’t jump out
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 2 months ago:
It doesn’t vary by client much, there’s a baseline of expectations that what you deliver can be further worked on by anyone using the software that 95% of the industry is using.

Dammit, I’m familiar with using kbuntu desktop at work for years and am wanting to try Linux at home, but it’s sad to hear I’d have a steeper learning curve

It’s more about ingesting their house design guide in proprietary formats. But you will also be contractually obliged to deliver back working files along with the final deliverables, and they will specify formats and versions.

I take it they are handing the camping equipment. Take enough warm things, you are in the elements all night. You will spend a fair bit of time sitting around in nature talking shit. Take some booze / weed to help conversation flow into weird places. Snacks as per above.

How fast can you spin a cow on a spindle?
- Comment on I've evaluated my net worth to be over 100,000,000 (based on the appreciation of my beanie baby collection) so laws don't apply to me anymore. 3 months ago:
A Keel haul should do it
- Comment on I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU? 3 months ago:
Abs needs an enclose vented to the outside, or really good ventilation. The ‘S’ in ABS stands for styrene, a fairly potent carcinogen and irritant. Do NOT print it in your living area as it off gasses while printing.
All other plastics you can print on the A1 will be safer.
- Comment on I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU? 3 months ago:
I’ve printed plenty of different mid density tpu’s including random no name ones with generic profiles, using the Prusa Mini with its Bowden tube. It’s not always a no no.
- Comment on What is your bath mat situation? 3 months ago:
My wife and I shower together, someone is getting out sopping wet because either the other one is still going or there’s just not enough room to both dry in the shower. Heated floor dries the bath mat just as well as the towel rail anyway
- Comment on If you're on the fence about building or buying a 3d printer enclosure, please let me give you a push. 4 months ago:
It’s more about pressure than airflow. You just need negative pressure inside the chamber, so gas escapes into your chamber through the cracks, and out the vent.
- Comment on Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion 4 months ago:
Saudis were happy to bankroll it to kill the main organisation platform behind the Arab Spring uprisings
- Comment on Good ear protection for concerts. 6 months ago:
I prefer a 20db cut that’s flat across frequencys. Most audio engineer plugs like the etymotic range aim for that midpoint.
If I’m chainsawing, it’s big muffling 30db cut earmuffs.
- Comment on Good ear protection for concerts. 6 months ago:
I’ve been using these for years for concerts, gym classes and always take spares to festivals to give to friends. They are designed for an even 20db cut when listening to music. They have the same fit as the cheaper ER20 but the xs have clearer top end.
I use them 3x a week and have a few pairs. They don’t last forever as the baffles get softer over time. At $40 they last me a year which is pretty good value.

- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 8 months ago:
Have you tried Vista?
- Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences 8 months ago:
If it’s all the same driver board, they save on complexity of having different parts. I hate it but it’s true. Samsung gaming monitors now have to keep track of a remote to change settings.
- Comment on Altech’s sodium chloride solid state battery exceeds expectations 8 months ago:
Will be interesting if they need the same thermal management that lithium packs do. That adds a fair amount of weight to the system
