Snow is a great example. As a kid, snow was freedom from school, a sculpting medium, a sledding surface, a new landscape to explore...

As an adult, it mostly means tangled commutes and manual labor.

Granted, a gentle snowstorm can be pretty nice when you don't have work the next day, but it doesn't have the same magic it did.

"Trolling is a art" is an ancient meme. Kind of the internet equivalent of a Dad joke, which makes the downvotes pretty funny, given the comment I was replying to!

trolling at that time was ~~an~~ a art form

Aw man, if you had gone with Polish Sausages, this would have been a 10/10 reply!

Not discounting your mild infuriation, but I am 100% certain that if they switched to being individually wrapped tomorrow, a complaint about excessive packaging would be one of the top posts here.

I'm not sure about Germany, but these have been sold in the US for decades now, and have always been 2 bars per wrapper as long as I can remember.

I have this exact puzzle!

The small differences actually make it fun to put together, and my spouse and I both enjoyed it!.

Except it's literally just an economics term referring to positions that can be reasonably learned through on the job training with little or no prior experience.

Stuff like this just muddies and distracts the conversation from the true issue, which is that those jobs deserve a living wage.

I have no idea if this is possible to implement on the client side, but it would be really cool to be able to pick which subbed communities are emphasized or de-emphasized in your feed.

For example if you're on a niche sub that only gets a few posts per week, maybe you want to ALWAYS see new content regardless of how many upvotes or comments it gets.

Conversely, I enjoy a few meme subs, but right now Risa completely dominates new/hot/best filtering for me. I'd be perfectly happy just seeing the top few posts sprinkled throughout my feed.

I just subbed to this community recently and I've noticed that even though it's pretty active, the vast majority of posts and comments have no up or down votes (except for the one you get by default)

Just curious if the instance has voting disabled or something?

The theory I've heard is that people on reality TV shows would do this so the mics could pick up their conversations better. So naturally, ~~brainless idiots without an original thought in their dense godforsaken skulls~~ people who watch those shows started doing it in real life too because they saw popular people doing it on TV.

It's just a theory, but it seems plausible because it's clearly not how phones were designed to function on speakerphone or otherwise.

I've noticed for awhile now that whenever my Ender 3 S1 Pro is running, some of the lights on the same circuit will flicker seemingly in time with changes in X or Y stage movement. I'd guess that it's a combination of these stages causing minor voltage spikes/dips when they accelerate, and certain cheaper LED bulbs don't tolerate those spikes/dips well.

Has anyone else experienced this and implemented a good fix? It seems like some kind of power smoothing/conditioning filter plugged in between the printer and the wall would help isolate it. Most of those devices seem designed to isolate the device from fluctuations in the mains, and I'm not sure if it generally works both ways (seems like it should...)

Googling around most people are blaming similar issues on poor wiring, which I suppose could be the case even though this is a newer house. But I see very little in terms of actual proven effective fixes, even though it sounds pretty straightforward on its face.

Advice / thoughts?

Because it's a little TOO easy.

Your body and brain know you didn't put any effort into it, not because you were in a rush, but just because you couldn't be arsed to. So it punishes you by making you hyper aware that you're consuming the uncanny valley of food. It's not NOT food, but it's not FOOD.

To be clear, I'm just using "you" generically. Absolutely no judgement here lol

Not sure where else to post this, but I just learned that an old buddy lost his lengthy battle with cancer this evening after putting up a solid fight. If anyone feels like raising a glass to a random stranger, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

Fuck cancer, and be excellent to each other ๐Ÿฅƒ

Hear me out for a second...

Maybe, just maybe, it's spending 3 hours in stop and go traffic that's the problem, not the transmission.

If LEGO and soda cans, which are very low cost, can do this, so can we.

This man is a certifiable idiot, and I feel bad for anyone working for him.

I feel like there is context missing here. The situation is just way too specific...

Basically, the title. When opening a photo with my phone in landscape mode, frequently the bottom 5-10% of the photo is clipped off, and I cannot scroll down or zoom out to view it. Oddly, if I zoom in enough, then I can scroll down to view the clipped part.

I've only noticed it when my phone is rotated in landscape mode, so I'm not entirely sure if it's limited to that mode, or if a tall enough picture would cause the same thing in portrait mode

I accidentally created a guest account by tapping "browse as guest" when trying to view an instance. This created a Guest_1 account in my list of instance accounts. Is there any way to remove this?

It would frequently be helpful to have the post you are directly replying to visible in the Reply screen. Or perhaps a "Show/Hide Parent Comment" toggle on the Reply screen on case you want to refer back or quote specific details from the parent.

For example, have "Show NSFW" active when logged in to one account, but disabled when switching to another. Because... reasons ๐Ÿ˜‰

I believe Jerboa has this feature (account specific view settings}

Really enjoying the app by the way!

I'm planning to print up a bunch of brackets to mount LED shop lights (very similar to these) to the ceiling in my garage. My plan is to use an upside-down "U" shape bracket that screws into a joist/drywall anchor in the middle and then sort of clips around the sides of the metal frame.

Maybe filament type doesn't matter much here, but I'd rather not come out to one of the lights having fallen on my car if I can help it ๐Ÿ˜…

I think the main considerations are just temperature and stiffness. It can get up to about 85F in the garage on the hottest summer days, and probably a few degrees warmer by the ceiling. The lamps are cheap LED tubes, so the metal housing only gets slightly warm to the touch (say 90-100F or so). I know PLA is a bit stiffer at room temp, but I'm worried it might soften too much at the worst case of warm temperatures.

Any thoughts on PLA vs PETG for this situation?
