My basement. But it’s full of wood debris pending a rebuild. Clean it out, and it’s yours. Don’t tell anyone, though, as I doubt it’s legal to live there.

I live pretty much in the middle of nowhere that is between three mountains and a Scandinavian fjord. I don’t see any safer alternatives to where I’m already at.

No. There are plenty of insults, and even normal adjectives, that end in -er.

Although not public, I use a rubidium.pl script I wrote at work to interact with a bunch of rubidium clocks.

I accidentally stumbled across Ctrl+r over a decade ago and I still don’t understand properly how it works. So I usually egrep -e someInsaneRegex ~/.bash_history

With the direction Microsoft has taken windows the past decade or so, a GPU farm in the back room will be needed to run windows 12. Maybe that’s why everyone needs a Microsoft account to use windows these days - Microsoft is planning ahead.

Word of the day: Tuning knobs. Or machine head when referring to the entire assembly, worm gear and all.

The dollop made an excellent episode on this guy: The Rube

Ah, so it’s not just me being unable to find a relevant setting, then.

I figured there ought to be a setting for support and brim, as there’s a similar setting for the skirt.

PETG on textured plate.

Yeah, I came for the sci fi, got bored because of the cult/religion derailment.

Personally I’m a big fan of Adafruits ItsyBitsy 32u4. Loads of potential in a small and cheap backage. Enumerates as an arduino via the USB port, so no special hardware is requires to program it. I use one to read a PWM signal and measure the pulse width on a few channel, so I would think it’s capable of outputting similar signals, which comes in handy for contrilling LEDs and small steppers.

If you want to control something a bit more power hungry via PWM you might want to look into PCA9685 which works really well with, for example, a raspberry pi zero.

Tinkering/assembling stuff and see it come to life. Bonus points if it’s something my kids can join in on.

Other contenders: (good) food, music, weather

I used to go real, but lack of proper ones made me go artificial instead.

I grew up on the countryside where part of holiday tradition involved grabbing a saw and finding a proper tree in one of the many woods around the property. Now that I live more urban I have to rely on whatever is on the market. And the quality of the market is awful, so I might as well have something that at least looks good.

This thread contains so many words I recognize. I don’t speak Spanish, but I’ve worked with Argentinian geophysicists for years - You’d be surprised to learn how much someone’s prostitute parents are relevant to resolving timing drift and background noise.

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.

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.

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
