    Oh man I destroyed 3 of those dance mats. we rewired them to use for stepmania (pc hatswitch had simultaneous opposite direction problems back in the day) and taped them to the ground and gave them a real beat down. The layers actually wore down from trying the pledge furniture polish and socks footslide technique which I quicly hated as damaging. I have now ancient solid decks that could handle it but I still hold a grudge against sliding.

  • Those of you who switched from driving to exclusively cycling: how much have you saved in gas, insurance and repairs?

    I went from 78-90 bucks of gas a week 2-3 hour per day work commute, 2600 annual insurance, anywhere from 1200-5000 annual mechanic work from parent's friend that totally ripped himself off, to like 60 bucks gas every 4-5 months and the 600 or so it costs for my parents to have my name on their insurance so I can borrow the car once in a while when bike just isn't feasible. oh and bcaa I kept because they will pick you up if you are biking too, associate member on parents account to cheap out a little.

    I've tested one of these that a friend had. I feel like if I bought and installed that I would resent it, the money I spent on it, and myself for not just spending a bit more and getting a stronger motor. If its someone living in flatsville, flatoslavia where the biggest hill is only recognizable by ants... no who am I kidding, I'd just ride a non electric fixie or 3 speed igh.

    I actually kinda like front drive but it has to be torque sensor on the bb, and very dialed in. It gets this pseudo-dual drive feel. It was less of an assist and more of a mirroring what my legs put in to the rear, except for when the gears changed 2 or more positions. If there was a reliable way to track gears and match the motor output I would have kept that bike. Realistically though I would also recommend mid, especially for hilly routes.

    What kind of bottom bracket did you have? I'm still not familiar with all of them but so far the ones I worked with haven't been that troublesome sounding.

    That's pretty cool. Is it actually all well documented somewhere and I just missed it? I sure didn't learn much from just playing the game but I only really played up to the anomaly and did a few group missions then got my frigate before getting stuck in house moving limbo with my computers packed away.

    wait you can just go to other people's planets and it's live when in online mode? I've come across what seemed to be player made ruins once but I didn't think much of it. Can you run into real people outside of the hub station (forgot the name of it) activities?

    I think one of the existing chocolate printers actually used that design. I was concerned about chocolate pellets in a printed hopper though.

    he does say you can do chocolate. apart from the hot end, auger, and mechanical parts it's all 3d printed though. I guess you could go through the cursed endeavour of setting up an all stainless printer to print all the parts in one of those so called food grade filaments but I don't trust that much. Or you can just operate off the understanding that we are all saturated in plastic already.

    there's this: https://greenboy3d.de

    Not cheap though, and I think the first batch hasn't shipped yet.

    the main merit to me would be printing super soft materials that cant even be made into filament reliably becomes possible

I used hot air to pull out a drifting stick but that also heated and fell off, and of absolutely fucking course, fell into the floor air vent and went on a grand old slippy slide away. Does anyone know the actual name for this part? Everything I have tried searching so far is apparently wrong

    Is anyone familiar with what the iron workers memorial bridge foot/bike path is like in the winter? My new work commute goes over the bridge and I'm wondering if it is viable in the snow or if I should budget for having a car by then. Also the state of the trans canada trail from where it meets the bridge to willingdon would affect my planning. I have heard snow on the roads is poorly managed in Burnaby and I don't like biking on them to bevin with so I'm a bit worried. The north van side I have already seen and its a mixed bag of both excellent and awful. Maybe its a city and district difference but I've seen atv plows clearing bike lanes and other parts where the bike lane has snow above my head height. I have a second bike configured for snow and with mid drive electric motor now.

    Saw these while looking at apartments but have no idea what they are. they were found mostly on carpet, but some were in other parts of the unit. edit: after looking up the suggestion of carpet beetle I am fairly convinced that it is indeed what they are. I also saw a few adult beetles that look like one of the species found in photos online. thanks everyone.

    So I used something like these some years ago to recover data off a phone, but I was wondering if the reverse is possible in having a bga soldered adapter with a microsd slot on top. Or if PCBs can even be soldered together like that. I've never actually checked if bga chips have raised pads or something. The purpose would be for rapidly testing custom firmware for shitty old devices that were designed to be replaced without removing the emmc to flash it separately.

    Companion plants

    Its been a decade or two since I've had any sort of plants growing but when I was last trying to grow I was looking into companion plants. There are some that are pretty much ancient standards like beans corn and squash, but does anyone know plants that have a similar beneficial relationship with cannabis?

    I'm currently using the blocklists included with unbound in opnsense on a mini PC and I have used pihole on a pi which now operates my 3d printers instead. I haven't tried any of the other network wide options. Has anyone made any blog posts or similar detailing performance testing of different options? I have an 8 person household with each person having at least a phone and computer and probably some consoles or something. I haven't noticed any obvious differences but whitelisting seemingly can't be done in bulk efficiently with my current setup. We are all going to be moving in the coming months so I am revisiting different aspects of the home network and trying to figure out what can be improved and if anything is irritating enough in it's current state to tolerate a potential performance loss.

    I'm trying to find out what purpose this type of design serves and how they are designed but have hit a wall with knowing what to even look for. This piece of the voron stealthburner is the only example I can think of off the top of my head but I have seen them before in some sort of fan duct or funnel thing. ![other side](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/370cb334-556e-43c8-98f2-8822bc840e07.jpeg)

    So I've run mods on a bunch of different games which were downloaded and installed with the deck alone. No man's sky, lethal company, Subnautica, etc. with generally no problems but some modding software run through wine had visual bugs but the games worked as intended. So I thought I'd try something bigger and install fallout ttw. I installed the base games from gog without issue, and MO2 ran fine with my overridden default of wine-ge. Even the ttw installer seems to work... slowly. I started it two days ago and the picture is now. I guess some mods you really are better off using a beefier computer and transferring the final product.

    I want to link my brother's network to my own in the lowest maintenance and power consumption way possible. I want to be able to remote admin the computer and for his devices to access my network storage and potentially other stuff eventually. My home network: Cable modem from ISP in bridge mode AliExpress Intel n100, 4x i226v, running opnsense bare metal Generic switch Wifi AP Multiple old computers and sbc's for self host stuff and 3d printers. Tons of wifi devices due to 10 person household. Brother's network: ISP modem with built in wifi in default mode. Everything is wifi except tv and the previously mentioned computer. 2 person household. I had previously tried using wireguard on an openwrt router on both ends, one a nanopi r5s and the other an orangepi r1 plus lts. I think I ran into issues with being unable to install packages due to being out of date or something. I tried compiling openwrt myself but it would fail and diagnosing that was beyond me. At the time the r5s was my home router. I'm looking for recommendations for how I could connect at least his wired devices as if they were part of my network. Unfortunately it seems I'm still at the point where I don't even know what I don't know when it comes to networking.

    I'm looking for a chapter where hayate faces off against a group referred to as something along the lines of elite four. It may have been four devas/kings/etc. instead. Rather than four though there were way more, they were censored, yet clearly major characters from several popular anime at the time. I recall lelouche and the four main pilots of 0 Gundam, but there were more. I feel like it was closer to the beginning than the end but it's actually such a slog rereading it and I'm starting to feel like I might be wrong, and my guessing has not worked out.
