I needed a presence sensor for my home office, so I took a Gonk Droid model from Printables, hollowed it out using negative modifiers in PrusaSlicer and then spent waaaay too long painting and grunging it up I also manually wrapped wires around the legs to give it a bit more visual interest. Inside is a Pico W, a mmWave sensor...
Should I still isolate myself after a positive test? Is it ok to do my own shopping (with a mask) or should I call someone? Do I still wait for a negative test or simply to be free of symptoms? Since people around me don’t really talk about Covid anymore and my country doesn’t have any guidelines in place, I’d be...
For the past few days I’ve been working on a 3-D printable footpedal potentiometer to be used in a guitar pedal. It is a parametric model in FreeCAD. It has a top and bottom that hinge together, with a potentiometer that is coaxial with the hinge so that when the pedal is pressed, the potentiometer is rotated....
Thick as pudding. I have lots of skills but can’t do basic maths in my head. Also high in EQ so fell into management roles and my people generally love working with me because I care more about them than the business. This means they are happy and healthy and work well.
I hadn’t cried in 7 years and decided to do some emotional exercises to make myself cry. So I managed to cry about 4 months ago, haven’t been able to since even with my grandmothers death. Might start trying again.
I am talking about people born in USA or who committed crimes in USA after having lived here for a while, who when indicted/convicted of crimes successfully managed to flee the country and evade the Justice System forever....
I just don’t get it. Having a relationship with one person is hard work (anyone that says otherwise is either very lucky or their partner is making all the effort). Why on earth would you want to make your life even more difficult?
My significant other ate cucumbers and onion with some ranch. I called it a cucumber onion salad. She says there aren’t enough ingredients to call it a salad, because “it takes multiple ingredients”. I pointed out she had three and asked what the minimum is. She refuses to answer so I ask Lemmy.
Potato and Mayo = potato salad. So I would say two is the minimum. A bowl of lettuce on its own is not a salad. A salad is a classification of coke, (mainly) vegetable based dishes.
According to the video below, exercising doesn’t actually cause you to burn more calories as your body just chooses to delay non-essential stuff for another time.
As I understand it, if you increase your muscle, your body will burn more calories n a daily basis whereas cardio just burns calories in the current moment.
So focus on eating less calories than you burn (really helps to just cut out the crap and eat “whole food” rather than ultra processed crap - read “ultra processed people” for more info on this). Consume more protein to help muscle growth.
You unfortunately can’t target specific areas for fat burning, it’s pretty random.
There are simply some communities I can’t find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I’d much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.
This is how I have my house setup. I have four “mesh” routers (google wifi) but each one is plugged into Ethernet for higher throughput (my top floor gets the full capacity of my internet connection now whereas it was like 2mbps using purely wifi).
I discovered a random Shake Shack in Dubai. I was really surprised by how good they were. Definitely didn’t tip the In n out experience but definitely very enjoyable!
Loving it too! I thought Sabine is fine, I think we just have to remember a lot of shit has happened since the end of Rebels and we don’t know about most of it. Sabine is now mourning a friend without a body to bury and lost another friend before that. The woman is traumatised!
I’m looking for some small content creators who’s content has not been influenced by the potential of making money. In the early days of YouTube there was mostly trash, but then a few small channels started using formats, using specific styles and actually standing out above a pile shit....
If you’re a “normal” person who rarely needs to scan things just use your phone! I’ve sent all sorts of docs including legal stuff for a mortgage by just taking pictures! It’s even quicker than actually firing up a scanner!
If you are a “professional” who has a persistent need to scan high quality docs then get a dedicated scanner!
If you’re an “enterprise” go buy a proper office printer from the likes of Brother and you won’t have these problems.
So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?
Honestly if you can play that game you must have super human reflexes. I used to play it on the xbox360 and loved it but I’m older now and recently got it on ps5 and I’m just constantly smashing into shit. I would be terrible in a real car!

How many ingredients does it take to call it a salad?

Does anybody else continue to frequent Reddit, albeit without an account?
There are simply some communities I can’t find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I’d much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.
What are the best solutions for extending Wi-Fi range in a big, old house with thick walls? I rent, so I'd rather avoid adding any cables.
I have an extender already, but it’s a cheap one and bandwidth sucks. Any success stories?...
