What vacuum should I buy for 66% carpets in 1500sqft condo? Sub $500 in c/[email protected]
[–] smuuthbrane 5 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Avoid Dysons (easy at your price point), they're too fragile. I'd find a local vacuum repair shop and get a refurbished vacuum. It'll probably be something you pass down to your kids.

I kinda figured as much as soon as I posted. D'oh.

Does anyone know where the Arrow 2.0 EV car is at? in c/[email protected]
[–] smuuthbrane 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hyundai/Kia are doing a damned good job so far, I think. Of course, drop any tariffs and the Chinese will eat Tesla's lunch before they can do anything.

No.

To the best of my knowledge, the Arrow (any of them) are only showcases for Canadian automotive and EV tech. They are not looking to start a car company, or fully develop the vehicle, it's only there to get more businesses to set up shop in Canada to use our auto/EV talent and research.

I read a short story with a very similar theme, could have been that book.

Closest I've read is Lord of the Flies.

No gills for me, sadly.

Fair. A boat anchored at a Pacific Island, while they exist.

Maybe I'll dock at the Pacific garbage patch and distill my fuel from microplastics.

Depends, are we riding out the rise of fascism or riding out WWIII? Those are two highly different scenarios.

Either way, a Pacific island sounds nice.

Monster chopper is undeniably cool, but I'm all on board for monster trike.

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.

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?
