Any suggestions for attaching a hinge to 1/4" acrylic sheeting? in c/[email protected]
[–] smuuthbrane 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've seen live hinge trim, where it's a single piece of plastic but thin in the middle to act as a live hinge, and it's just pressed on to each edge.

For that and other options I'd see what you find at McMaster Carr and go from there.

Cheapo short-term option: use duct tape on both sides as a live hinge.

I have to ask, what's this based on? What media am I missing?

What do you guys think about this phone? in c/[email protected]
[–] smuuthbrane 5 points 6 days ago

Just got mine a few weeks ago, after my 5T finally started using most of its battery during a normal day. Got a solid 7 years out of it. So far the 13 is solid, and I'm looking forward to the next 5-7 years with it.

So far the most battery I've used is 50% in one day, and that's only charging it up to 80%. I could probably make it last over 2 days if I needed to.

How are you organizing your spare cable drawer? in c/[email protected]

Wait, you're supposed to organize your spare cables??

Sample gut flora of people with "auto-brewery syndrome", culture the samples, and sell them in pill form to DUI lawyers for their clients. (self.shitty_million_dollar_ideas)
 

This is a shitty idea because anyone driving under the influence deserves to be tried and punished for their actions. But if this could be done, you'd have no trouble selling each pill for $1000.

Or, sell the pills for way less to those that want to get drunk off bread or pasta. Either way it's a totally plausible, feasible, potentially lucrative shitty idea.

PCBWay does CNC and sheet metal, apparently together (sh.itjust.works)

I thought this group might be able to appreciate this part. I ordered 5 from PCBWay. They are 1/4" mild steel. For just over $30USD each I got them in 16 days. But I have SO MANY questions about their process.

I wanted to share my incredulity with group that might also have their minds blown with this.

Scab in a Can (self.shitty_million_dollar_ideas)
 

A can or bottle of an edible liquid that, when applied to skin, dries to a peelable scab-like consistency.

Mainstream? No, but the niche this hits it would hit HARD.

Just got the update overnight and now i have a text overlaid on my feed. Is there a way to clear the message or otherwise get it to disappear?

portrait to landscape refreshes feed (self.jerboa)
 

I've had this happen a few times now when looking at images, I tap an image to open it, turn my devise to landscape mode, but instead of seeing the image my feed refreshes. Known bug, or has anyone else found this too?

refresh on portrait to landscape transition (self.jerboa)
 

Hey, I've experienced this a few times now. I've clicked an image to view it, but to get a better view I've switched to landscape mode. When this happens, instead of seeing the image still, my feed refreshes. Anyone else getting this? Known bug maybe? Thanks!

sort by "New", updates instantly all the time? (self.main)

I'm still playing around getting my bearings here, trying to explore this still-growing federation. I've tried browsing by "New" on both mobile and desktop a couple of times, but on desktop it's almost unsuable. Any time there's a new post, the INSTANT it goes up my feed updates, and scrolls down. Sometimes it's one post, sometimes a dozen.

To me (opinion here), sorting by "new" should sort of be a timestampped thing: I want "new as of right now but nothing more". If I refresh, sure update me to the latest. But a list that's live updating as things happen? That's... not useful to me.

Am I missing something, or does anyone else feel similarly?
