BTW you can get Garmin to USB-C little adapters, they come in quite handy.

I fucking love camping but had to glamp it up for it to pass the WAF… We have a blast when we do it but it’s only a couple times a year.

With a nice rug, some candles and some decorations you can make it work.

What I meant is I tried to Google homebrew smart remote and found nothing. I do have understanding of the concepts and was looking for the specifics :)

I tried googling some of this but I must be misunderstanding the thread, mind ELI5 for the rest of us? ^_^’

Do you mean actual mcd branded ones? We can find normal chicken nuggets, not mcd (but the standard ones are just as good sometimes better). In NL.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 weeks ago:
I mean if you’re into mechs I can see how that could come in handy for spares if anything, or just fucking around. Depends on the price though if you’re paying anywhere close to normal price then it’s probably not worth it, if it’s like 10% of the price then sure why not.

Didn’t someone make like an entire story from all of these at one point? I remember it being a bit of a stretch but still funny.

Obligatory PSA not to give bread to ducks (or birds), use compatible seeds and grains instead if you enjoy doing that.

All I’m saying is everything is further to the right in the US. These things you listed aren’t even partisan issues here, they’re just normal things.

I don’t think any of this happened last time the democrats were in charge? Or any other time before that. Seen from Europe, democrats are definitely right of center, just less so than republicans.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 2 weeks ago:
I agree on this for products however with services (such as the ones I provide) I can’t really give you a price upfront except for stuff I’ve highly standardized, because I have no idea until we work out the project on how much labour/costs it’s gonna have.

I know a guy that’s a pilot and while 90% of his flying is leisure, he’ll sometimes fly down to France for his vacations etc in one. Doesn’t own them though, has to pay rentals.

Except they only know the amounts/frame of references for the specific things they’re used to, so it’s not like they can do the conversion any better than the rest of us. Canadians have a similar (though different) system as well.

I mean if it doesn’t make sound I’ll get the cheap “smart” fridge and just cover up the screen, if it’s a high quality fridge besides the screen, no problem.
- Comment on FOSS App to Edit videos ? 2 weeks ago:
Great comment all around albeit with maybe a bit outdated yet personal experience.
I would say, don’t underestimate blender, it has a lot of parallel progress going on and while I never used it for video editing, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pretty powerful in that area.
I’m personally a resolve user and I think it doesn’t have anything to envy from avid or premiere at this stage (you admit yourself it was 8 years since you tried it). It’s incredibly powerful and the free version should get you by for most projects though you might run into a few things where you wish you had the studio version.
My personal experience when I was shopping around before settling on resolve (3/4 years ago) was that all the other FOSS options I tried were mid at best.

No need to apologize, you live and breath that stuff and are aware of all the dumb shit regular people like me will do I’m those situations, the harshness is coming from a place of love I can tell. I’ll definitely have your good advice in mind shall something like this occur again, thank you (and thank you for the work you do).
- Comment on How to Decide what an Appropriate Medical Response is for Loved Ones 4 weeks ago:
Hey, I really appreciate you jumping in, I’m glad I randomly checked on the thread because since you replied to the other guy, I didn’t see it myself (I’m the OP).
You made some great points and raised a bunch of info that no one really gave me so far, not at the hospital that day or when talking about it with others since, all very valuable stuff.
I just want to clarify that I was exaggerating for dramatic effect, and definitely drove to the emergency safely, respecting all driving laws and while his mom was in the back monitoring him the whole time. There was no speeding above the limits, no red lights, etc, I’m not a dumbass.
I do want to add that if I did call an ambulance right away and they sent in a heli or something I would’ve been even more mortified, having taken crucial resources away from people who might actually need it. I understand now the actual advice is “wait until you see if there’s any reaction, and then call an ambulance if needed”, and that they would first start by evaluating the situation/give us advice.
So yeah, just for the sake of anyone reading, don’t be like me, don’t panic, and call the appropriate services if/when needed. It’s tough as new parents sometimes and I learned the lesson that day, I do think it’s relatable and sharing it led to your valuable insights so hey, that’s a win right?

That was precisely my reasoning, we didn’t know if he’s allergic and especially in the neck it could’ve gone from fine to dead real quick, and I’m not about to improvise a tracheotomy… I get why she teases me though, I really acted like I was in an action movie lol.

Yeah I really don’t think I’ll need it that often, definitely not for any of the practical parts, it would just be for the fun things I’d print for the kid.
