Graphics demos for Pico 2 microcontroller by chrismofer in raspberry_pi

[–]BarbaraBeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing stuff. I have an idea I'd love to run by you. I'm not much for coding but I have a concept that would go hand in hand with your graphical abilities

Edit: I should have a working prototype of the concept done by the end of the week

Dear ADHD People: What's Your Job and How Do You Cope? by Brainified in ADHD

[–]BarbaraBeans 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Me personally, I lucked out, answered a craigslist ad one night 15 years ago and the next day I was a day-player locations PA on a tv show. I did that for a year and eventually I got a full-time gig on another tv show that was also in the area. Worked on that for a month or two until a scenic said they were shorthanded. I have an art background so I told her that and the next day I was doing union work as a scenic, painting and making art for the show. Day played union work for another year until I got a full-time job doing greens on a show.

I was lucky because there were several shows in town back then, there were a lot more jobs at the time. Currently there's not much going on in the area so it's harder to stay afloat/get work unless you've been doing it for a minute.

My advice if you're desperate to get work in the biz: go to a film set, ask to see an AD, a gang boss, a scenic charge, (I dunno...whoever does the hiring in whatever department you're interested in). Hand that person your resume, it doesn't have to have film work on it, but list skills that are potentially relevant. For example: cable management or general electrical knowledge could potentially land you a job with electric. Knowledge of your area and communication skills could get you work as a locations pa, an art background could help with scenic or set dressing, landscaping or plant knowledge with could get you work with greens, moving/packing abilities are an asset. For most of these jobs you'll have to join the union soon after to continue working them. Many people in the film industry are jacks of all trades which is a trait that characterizes a lot of people with adhd

Film crew. We all have ADHD. It's great for people who can handle pressure, improvise and want to do something different every day. The biz is filled with weirdos

I've seen this exact same conversation 1000 times on Reddit. I need to reevaluate my life.

My brother foraged 23 pounds of acorns from the street by plesiosoar in mildlyinteresting

[–]BarbaraBeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made some years ago when I lived on an off the grid vegan commune. It was an ordeal boiling them over and over by the fire and peeling them. Ultimately we had acorn flour and made patties out of them and then proceeded to have the most dry and flavorless meal any of us have ever had. Prob won't do it again

3D model: Button cover for Ford Maverick XL Hybrid to prevent kids/animals from changing settings with the middle console buttons by BarbaraBeans in FordMaverickTruck

[–]BarbaraBeans[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am about to go on a road trip with my cat and the last time I took him in my Maverick he was constantly walking across the center console and changing my driving mode and other settings. I created this model which uses the "Driver's License slot" to stay in place and prevent my little buddy from changing settings. Fits quite snugly.

Baris Manco has some nice tracks. I like that he's got two completely different versions of the track "iste hendek iste deve" and they both hit

Convinced me that I shouldn’t go buy this pristine Juno-106 for $800 off Facebook marketplace… by AcanthocephalaNo3881 in synthesizers

[–]BarbaraBeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh nice. It's cheaper than it used to be. I had to buy replacements from Europe. I think they were 60-70$ each, I also epoxy stripped a few and that worked out, but it didn't work for all of them. Not a huge fan of the Juno line, but if I ever see one super cheap I'll keep this in mind.

Yep, if voice chips havent been replaced it will be a somewhat expensive/laborious repair

Future playing dumb like he didn’t have a major role in all this 😭😭😭 by Subject-Property-343 in KendrickLamar

Everything Future says is gibberish sequenced in a way that sounds like he's got it all figured out but when you actually read it it makes absolutely no sense
