I’m looking for a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t need dust bags and gets its power from the wall socket with a cord. The suction power has high priority for me...
A Henry. It uses dust bags but it’s been months and I’m still on the same one. It’s a canister vacuum, not an upright vacuum. Too many times someone sucks up a bunch of drywall dust or cat litter and then you turn on the upright vacuum and it spews dust in a massive cloud. Canister vacuums don’t do that.
I miss the no bezel screen, despite the flat tire. Unfortunately I burned through three of these in a short amount of time from the cheap plastic back, and the battery was absolutely terrible.
No house lock goes from locked to unlocked if you cut power to the house. What the hell are you talking about? They’re battery powered and nearly every single one of them still uses a key from the outside as a manual override.
I almost forgot to post this week’s thread! Life has been pretty busy, and will probably going to stay like that for couple of months. So, not getting much gaming time. But thinking about making small gaming goals to keep chipping away at these games....
Almost done with the shrines in TotK. Going to do a few more quests (getting burnt out), hunt more Lynel to max my armor, and then go kill Ganon or whatever.
I’ve gone back and forth on taking a multivitamin since I know my diet isn’t all that great. Ideally I should be working to improve that diet but let’s say due to certain circumstances that’s a bit difficult at the moment....
PLOT: Taking place in a future impacted by a war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, the film’s plot follows an ex-special forces agent who is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war by destroying mankind itself.
I like making things. I’m mainly into making costume props and decorations. Basically I’m into making interesting things exactly once, learning a bunch of lessons on what to not do, but never do it again. I’m not a skilled wood worker or metal worker. But! I bound a book myself, coffee stained it, and made the cover out of sewn together leather scraps. It’s a Necronomicon. I made a lightsaber almost entirely out of junk from ReStore (mostly plumbing parts). I made an EL wire tree with a dried tree branch about 6ft tall, a spool of decent gauge metal wire, and 50 10ft EL strands. Sanded and painted toy guns. Made a James Webb looking wall decoration out of black foam board, gold hexagons, and an NFC tag. Semi related, I modified an IKEA table to be a vaulted board game table where the tops mount on the wall via French cleat and it has cup holders to keep drinks out and away from spilling on the inside of the table. I have 3D printed some minor costume bits. Made a bunch of wizards wands out of paint, hot glue, and chopsticks. Made a float lamp (tie a bunch of annoying knots around a sphere). Currently trying to modify toy Poke Balls to have a functioning LED button but I really hate soldering.
I’m a programmer by trade so I also tinker with Home Assistant far too much. I have a jellyfish lamp with an RGB bulb that tells me the weather when I wake up. Just made an LCARS (Star Trek UI) dashboard for decoration.
The weather jellyfish is simply a DIY hanging light kit with a jellyfish lampshade and an RGB bulb connected to Home Assistant, running this automation. The code is simply just check high temp of the day and set it to a certain color based on a 10ºF range I decided on. (I used to have it blink white for snow and blue for rain, but apparently I haven’t added that back in since moving away from my previous weather API.) I named it Abbott because Arrival is a great movie.
There are two apps that claim to override the button and one doesn’t work and causes issues, while the other has been flawless for me. I set it to open Plex. Even bought a perfectly sized Plex sticker to cover the Netflix logo.
Boba Fett, every episode except the two that are obviously just The Mando eps, fit OP’s question. The show is so bad I bet fans stopped watching SW. It’s embarrassing. It’s complete and utter garbage.
Cocktails. I’m purely an amateur home bartender (I work in software development) but I’m better at making cocktails than most paid bartenders in the city, including a number of the ones working at craft cocktail bars I’ve been to across the country. I make my own syrups, creams, infusions, carved ice, and dehydrated fruit. I’ve recently started using an iSi whipper to make foam toppers; beer foam for old fashioneds, tropical foam for Mai Tais. My avocado orgeat is awesome. Fat washing with coconut oil is easy and makes Campari and cachaça amazing. I’ve hosted many parties in the 15-28 person range, as well numerous smaller cocktail nights, so I have experience creating thematic menus and then prepping and serving the drinks all night.
I have a ton of knowledge about spirits in general, both breadth and depth. Most bartenders and even mixologists don’t even know what baijiu is (let alone tried each aroma), know the difference between soju and shōchū, or why soju is rarely made with rice. My rum knowledge is where I’ve specialized and I can recommend multiple bottles of each type (Smuggler’s Cove categories or Minimalist Tiki’s) in varying price ranges, what cocktails they are best for, and the subtle differences between each bottle within its own category.
Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
Burgers are extremely cheap, easy, and can be healthy. The only one I wouldn’t consider healthy from the project is TJ’s Masala because it’s pure junkfood. But also the calories are low enough it may not matter if you eat it topped with good veggies, or have them on the side. The rest have good protein to calorie ratios, and most have other nutrients as well. Burgers are not junkfood unless you make them that way.
I’m on my first non Google phone, starting with the Nexus 5. I currently have the Z Fold 3, bought used for about half MSRP. It has so many good things that Google failed to do, while also missing a lot of things I loved about the Google phones. The Pixel folder may bring me back if it gets cheap enough.
I love my Fold 3. Only real complaints are how many apps are not built to support the front screen’s thinness. It was the most expensive phone I’ve ever purchased even at 50% off used (around $900), but for the amount of hours I use it, it seems justified. For maps, photos, and reading, the inner screens are awesome. I mostly use the outer because most things do not need the full size. Can’t imagine it without the outer screen. Durability not an issue so far, whether that’s waterproofness, sand in the fold, or the crease.
Just tried Connect and Liftoff and both were bad compared to Jerboa. On one I couldn’t even figure out how to down vote. I think I’ll wait a few more months and try out the competition again.
I've never cooked scrambled chicken eggs so telling me to do it like that is useless. Their website is terrible (on mobile at least) and search engines don't work like they used to... I just want to know how long until it's cooked, if I need to put oil in the pan, and is a spatula really necessary over a spoon? What's this about flipping and curdling? I'm totally lost here. I've scrambled tofu before- is this the same?
I use a small non stick egg pan (about 8 inches across) on medium to medium high heat and with the tiniest little drop of oil. I let it sit until I can pull up the edges without gooing everywhere then flip it and cut it into pieces with the spatula. Continue until desired doneness.
I usually eat it in a burrito, and toss spinach and tofu into it a minute in.
