I do this, I have a toaster oven that lives in my garage solely for shop use. Have some foil to act as a bit of a heat deflector, seems to work well enough.

I bought a Brother colour laser last year (which on the outside looks identical to the monochrome one I bought 17 years ago that lives with my parents), zero issues, which pretty much has been my experience with printers on linux (also tried a ~5 y/o & 25 y/o HP LaserJet, one being the cheapest thing I’ve ever used, other being old office equipment, think I tried the Epson ecotank and photo printer my mil has as well)

Bandcamp, I follow a bunch of labels that’ve done releases I like and have set up a bunch of genre tags, I’ll go through every so often and go through releases, see what jumps out at me.

Otherwise, there’s a few reviewers I’ve come to trust over the years, my partner likes angrymetalguy and both follow Rez Metal Podcast. Otherwise it’s forums, Lemmy, reddit or other online community.

Oh def give it a bit more time, you’ll appreciate it. It’s usually even easier to work with and gives enough time for some of the more complex flavours to develop (specifically from fermentation).

If you don’t think it’ll last long enough could do a preferment (like a biga) with upwards of half your flour and a fraction of the yeast (had decent results doing like 0.5g or less of yeast for 500g of flour), can add more yeast to your final dough if you want (I’ve done similar things to use sour dough discard because I hate wasting it, adds complexity without relying on it for leavening).

Spool3D in Calgary sells sheets of FR4 (the flame resistant version of G10) that are bonded to spring steel sheets. I use with a few drops of the nano polymer adhesive they sell but would probably be fine without (A few drops in IPA seems to do the trick for ABS, lets me spread it extremely thin). I used Buildtak for a while and their surfaces are great, but this was a lot cheaper and extremely resistant, plus I like the surface finish it gives (Also I can source domestically, partly the reason I switched)

Two-spirit it’s (to my knowledge) very much tied to indigenous culture, recognising people who fulfill a traditional third gender, you’ll see 2S included a lot in Canada, official government stuff uses 2SLGBTQI+.

Pretty much every person I know in Canada has an electric kettle and every single office I’ve worked in has one, my kitchen has 15a outlets which is still 1800W. I have a simple gooseneck kettle that I usw mainly for coffee, it’s only 1kW and holds around 750ml, it’s not blisteringly fast but it’s boiled before I’ve ground my coffee.

The whole “120v is holding us back from having kettles” is way overblown (technology connections has a video on electric kettles).

Same for me, 10mg is what usually do, I’ll sometimes take another gummy but I tend to spread them out over the night, I’ve taken 40+ at once before just to try it,very much not for me, to each their own.

Colour based terms are super cultural too from what I’ve been told, stuff like red being bad and green being good isn’t universal so imo it’s not a bad idea to use more explicit terminology.

Beyond that, if you go into reporting and the like, red/green colour coding for indicators isn’t accessible (colour blindness isn’t uncommon, last job I had a few colleagues with red/green and one with blue/yellow, I was told that making them very distinct shades helps a lot), people also print stuff out on monochrome printers (there’s old data viz wisdom that suggested designing for this) so I prefered symbols when I did more of that work, still suggest it when I get asked to review things.

From the 360 Era — Too Human
The control scheme is bizarre at first (right stick is melee) but it works once you’re used to it. It’s Sci-Fi Norse mythology, I recall it having a pretty solid art style. I picked it up used from either Blockbuster or EB because I wanted to see just how bad it was, ended up enjoying it far more than I expected, I’ll give it a “Yeah, it’s ok”, disc images are readily available if you want to emulate it, can find a physical copy cheap online too if that’s your thing.

This is the game that ended up taking down its studio (Silicon Knights, they developed Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, they tried to sue Epic, who countersued and won, probably added to my initial interested tbh.

It’s not terrible advice tbh, even just hand sketches are solid for getting ideas down, makes it easy to translate to cad. It at least helps me think things through and the like.

Get a few pencils with different leads (some harder stuff like 2-4H and an HB) and some nice paper and you’re good, but really anything works, totally have a mockup of my garage on a whiteboard planning where I want to put stuff.

As for cad packages, freecad, as far as I’m aware there are some architecture workbench plugins, and there’s a tech drawing workbench. Coming back to cad after a while I found it super easy to pick back up (coming from solidworks at least)

My partner and I were concerned about that originally but it’s really a non issue for either of us, it’s still way better than not having one.

I modded my 880s to have removable cables , replaced the pads and the headband as they were getting a bit worn after a decade of daily driving them. I use 1990s as my daily driver these days but I like having options.

Seriously solid headphones, I’m not immediately writing them off because a Chinese company though, I’ve used FiiO stuff for 15 years and it’s been solid, so fingers crossed.

That’s the predominant one in Canada too, at least in my experience.

Goes with a Chipper Shredder (Woodchipper), sure there’s probably other things named the same way.

Just tacking on that box fan filters are really easy to make and do a solid job in my experience. Use high quality filters (like MPR 1900+/Merv13+), duct tape them into a cube (air direction facing inward in my case) and duct tape it to the intake side of the fan, I use 4 filters with the bottom being a cardboard blank, but there’s a ton of designs out there.

If you do it manually, path is something like (if it’s on the ssd at least)

~/.local/steam/steamapps/common/StardewValley/mods

SMAPI has a .sh in their release zip that sets it up for you, and their wiki is pretty solid if you’re wanting to do it through proton instead of the native application. I gave the nexus mod app a try, works pretty well but without premium you need to download mods individually, having an actual mod manager is nice though.

I’ve done rimworld modding running that through proton, but rimworld has workshop support and various mod managers so that was really easy to do (and plays pretty well, but I played rimworld on the og steam controller in the past so was kinda used to it)

Just setup mods for my partner’s steamdeck, ended up putting stardew Very expanded on both our decks and doing a new playthrough, needed to tweak a few settings as a chunk of mods seem to expect keyboard/mouse controls.

Runs pretty well all things considered, it’s added an overwhelming amount of stuff.

That’s super bizarre and sorry you’re having those issues. I have a 4070ti w/ an 11900k on arch (use debian on my laptop and printers, chose arch for more recent releases for drivers in particular) and guess I’ve been lucky, arch wiki won’t 100% help but might point you at other possible configs?

Had solid luck with the nvidia-open drivers, and really other than setting a few flags for hdr in KDE (which I’m not sure it’s still needed), I do recall looking at DRM kernel mode settings (section 1.2), most of my grief though has been HDR related (and gamescope doesn’t play nice with some games, steam big picture also can render strange on higher resolutions)

I did some testing for some parts for my dad, he keeps bees and lost a shaft support for one of his tools when he was reassembling it, he whipped up a replacement and fired me the stl when I was talking about my printers.

Printing with the shaft in the z needed a lot of supports,

laying it on its “back” was by far the easiest, outside of the support looked a little gross, could have benefitted from supports. Did them all in petg, gave them all to him just so he can get a feel for what 3D printed parts look like as he’s interested in getting one himself (trying to sell him on a v0 if he’s not sure, but kinda thinking about doing a trident)

If I recall the Verb-Noun idea is supposed to make it clear what is happening, take a look through stuff like the approved verbs for defining cmdlets. There’s aliases and stuff for sure for example I think ls is an aliases for Get-ChildItem in PowerShell.

It’s supposed to make it so you don’t necessarily need to look things up, need to do something to an item? Well you can Copy, Remove, Rename, Move etc, and while yeah that’s a super basic example that you know the equivalent linux commands for, the concept is supposed to apply everywhere. Now, whether or not people follow the guidelines is probably another story.

I don’t really hate shell scripting, feel like they all have their place, complex stuff though is nicer in straight PowerShell than bash IMO, but I’m fine using either.
