@thismightbeauser That is a lot more rose-tinted than the version I heard earlier.
Though I guess how much rose-tint is to be found directly corresponds with how much you liked or hated the new Mad Max -
@thismightbeauser They are quite real I assure you. However you pretty much need to go out of your way to find them currently. Such as dropping electrodes in a pond in a park and return in a month time to see if you cought any.
-
@nerthos I'm sorry, do you live in the future ?

-
@thismightbeauser Hmm, good thinking there spider.
Wait a second, spider ?
AHH SPIDER ! -
Shakes head
You know, I was just thinking ? Can we get some sort of system that we can designate something as spam ?
Oh and it would obviously be logged who designated something as spam so we could not supress eachother without a mod lurking over would-be-abusers.
Yeah, no idea if that can be implemented, if someone wants that implemented, or even if it is a good idea in the first place. But I swear if I see advertisements about the paleo diet again I am going to scream like a caveman. -
"How awesome would it be for Rose Leslie to play Ariel ?"
Oh yeah I can see that work
"How awesome would it be for Ariel to go 'You know nothing about snow'?"
... Oh no you didn't ...Wednesday, 17-Jul-19 08:17:16 UTC from web -
Ohkay, so ehh, this looks simple enough http://rainbowdash.net/url/874926
Too bad I have no idea how to find the output or run a .1 microfarad capacitor in parallel with it.
I do not even think it is in the schematic that he shows.

@adiwan Too bad Prime Day seems to be over. But that looks like a lovely machine. Looking forward to seeing your first acrylic cutout of pony :)

The VR game Trover saves the Universe by Justin Roiland is, just average. The controls are sometimes infuriating. To match parity with PSVR and one-camera Oculus Rift setups it makes me furious to rotate because when I look backwards my view is blocked by a chair and the view is darkened. The combat is as uninspiring as it gets.

@drinkingpony And you are right. Any cheaper and they always come from China. I don't want to cheap out and pay what I saved in import duties.
-
@drinkingpony I bought a SainSmart Genmitsu CNC 3018-PRO https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07G55SNZW for 220€ on a deal. There are cheaper variants of this but they come from smaller companies that are less reputable and I don't trust them much. The reviews are OK but that's to be expected for a barebone device of that size. If I want to do more and bigger things I can still make a bigger one with this and a 3d printer like this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:790533
-
Is it weird that I went and looked online to find one, but I am only able to find cheaper chinese bigger ones around that price ?
-
I couldn't resist any longer and I bought a small CNC router.

Today was a very unfocused day at work. I did everything but my self-assigned task. I wrote a lot of helper methods (extension methods). Useful for sure but not that useful for the thing I wanted to realize.

Explain it to me again, slowly.
"A bunch of millennials are going to storm Area 51 in four phases. The first and the second waves consists of 'Naruto' runners who are convinced that they can evade bullets that way. People throwing pebbles, and people who bring specialized gear to break drywall. Finally there is a tunneler team"
And... you do not think this sounds insane ?
"Also Zuckerberg wants his dad rescued"
from area 51 ?
"Yeah"
**drinks straight from the Whiskey bottle without breaking eye contact**
"what, you think I am crazy ?"
Well now that you put it on the table...Monday, 15-Jul-19 09:42:12 UTC from web -
@scribus Only a matter of time before we start to throw words around like "Transporter Psychosis" ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/874913 )

"I personally don’t actually care that much" - @mrmattimation ... raises eyebrow.
If I were to lower my standard of things that irk me just a Weee-Little-Bit just 1 setting then I would be taking up a neigh permanent 20 out of 30 font page slots on this website. Meaning that everyone has a tresshold that makes something worth posting/dashing about. Which is the long way around to say "Yeah I actually do think you care"
But whatever happens next. Try not to bottle it up if you know that somewhere in the future the bottle might explode. After all you already said it was YEARS ago. -
@mrmattimation I'm sorry what ? Did you even try to talk to someone about this ? By that I obviously mean someone who can do something with/about it.
I can only wish you the best with it, which is, sadly to say, not really all that helpful in the bigger picture. -
@scribus Wait, Melatonin or Melanin ?

Oh look, there is drama surrounding 007 again. Not James Bond mind you, just 007. Apparently a woman is going to play the new Bond 007 and not that guy I talked about about a month ago and his unflattering photo.
Does not really help that clickbait articles go with "Captain Marvel Actor Gets 007 Movie" ( no matter which side of the coin you are on, you know Brie Larson is seen as a flawed everything by the haters ).
Look people, I just have one thing to say.
"Make it good, or don't bother" Please, just saying. Noone I know talks more positively about Female Ghostbusters than about Mr Plinket. Judge for yourself what HE is https://youtu.be/AHUV8QLpEAc

I'm really thinking hard about buying a cheapo CNC router (30cm x 18cm x 4.5cm volume) for 190€

TIL : It is actually really easy to confuse Oxygen for Steam while working inside of a protective barrier of a vacuum.

@thismightbeauser I know. ChromeOS lacks the customization and the hardware itself is too expensive for what it's worth. My mother doesn't need to configure it, I need it whenever there is a problem.
-
I'd rather use Ubuntu.

@thismightbeauser I'll never buy a chromebook. They have the worst price-value proposition in my opinion. I'd rather install any Linux distro and get a similar end-user experience.
-
@thismightbeauser I would call Ghostbusters. Class B haunting. Not to mention the terrible advice.
-
@drinkingpony My mother is so frightful in respect to computers that she rather does nothing than anything when a message window appears. She uses her computer mainly for looking for images, google maps/earth, writing greeting card texts and printing, and SOLITAIRE. So there won't be anything infecting her PC. I don't use any anti virus (none on Linux duh) except for Windows Defender because it comes with Windows and does the least amount of damage.
-
Oh, BTW, just to make sure. No I am not saying some particular mother is dumb. I am saying that there is no virus defender capable enough to prevent mothers from making dumb moves.
What is a dumb move ? Ehh...
Ohh, free Ipod !Saturday, 13-Jul-19 18:42:34 UTC from web
