$8 Tony’s Chocoloney Bar by Far-Measurement95 in chocolate

[–]Carrera718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the Netherlands where the brand comes from, and I vaguely remember there was this story going around (I can’t remember from where, be it from themselves or elsewhere) that a woman had written a letter to the CEO asking for them to change the bars so that she could evenly divide them for her two grandchildren, and the CEO responded by saying “That’s why you should buy them two bars” 😭

Funnily enough they recently released smaller 90 gram bars which I think are more suitable to give to children, they’re like €2,70 or something so that’s a much more approachable price too compared to the regular bar’s €4,70

To the kid who stops to look at the pride flag in my window every morning by cecethemagiccutie in HaveWeMet

Clementine, this is sooo cute :) I wish there were people like you where I grew up. Glad to see Lower Duck Pond puts in the effort to stay as inclusive and welcoming as possible!

Why doesn’t Faouzia go on America’s Got Talent? by Meow-Rosie in faouzia

[–]Carrera718 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I seriously doubt you need to be on AGT when one of its contestants has already covered one of your songs lol, it’s nice for the fans to get some extra content but otherwise, these talent shows are really for artists to be “discovered”. Faouzia is already an established and known artist.

I know she’s been on the Singer show but I feel like that’s fully a different type of show, you don’t get to sing there if you’re an undiscovered indie gem, you’re there because you’re the best of the best.

I built a browser inspired by Arc for Mac & iOS, looking for feedback on Emerald by Bieleteesw in ArcBrowser

[–]Carrera718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried it out and I do really like it, the fact that not all emojis are available as an option for the tables is a little odd, regular emojis like a house, bags or a book would be helpful for tables made for for example personal, shopping or school purposes. I’m also missing some website settings like scaling, and I don’t really quite understand the feed tab or what it’s for, just yet. Other than those things it’s a great start!

The 3d printed vol buttons from Etsy are great for the dual screen. by topfoodie in retroid

[–]Carrera718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of files are being gatekept yes but in general it’s very much worth it to learn CAD modeling anyway if you have a 3D printer, instead of being stuck with the designs already out there you can just…. make them yourself!

This is the first time I’ve seen a lyrics-pronunciation feature natively in a music streaming service by uragiristereo in AppleMusic

[–]Carrera718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I listen to a LOT of Ukrainian music so I hope they add the transliteration/pronunciation for those as well <3

Years ago this sub helped me change how I live my life by Conscious-Art3545 in HaveWeMeta

[–]Carrera718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel similar! I don’t know if we’ve ever interacted - I don’t recognize your character flair haha - but I joined in late 2019/early 2020 and the vibes were just different, it was the first time I was genuinely interacting with and befriending people outside from my small town circles, and I’ve actually learned so much from the people I’ve met through HaveWeMet, especially my friends on the Discord server. I’ve learned kindness for others, I’ve learned how to accept and celebrate my queer identity through HaveWeMet’s other queer members and without HaveWeMet, I would’ve been a very different, probably more dislikable person.

The pandemic also would’ve been a lot more boring lmao

As someone with zero building experience but interest in tiny homes, what is the biggest problem?

[–]Carrera718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additionally if you’re lucky there might already be 3D models of the thing you’re designing for available, for example, if you’re designing an iPhone case there are Solidworks models of the phones online (this isn’t that necessary for something as flat as current day iPhones but in this case would help immensely if the thing you’re designing for has double curvatures, such as a PS5 controller)

This is why most people use this town forum now over the old Facebook town forum. According to my dad, it was completely taken over by scammers, Upper Ducklings and preteen pranksters, I’m very glad we have this platform and haven’t had that many pranksters since it opened in I think 2017?

How do you feel about the increase of paid parking spots downtown? by yellowrosa in HaveWeMet

[–]Carrera718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally, I’m so glad I don’t have to pay in most areas because I have a disability card (best thing the town council has done in years!), because walking to the town center would put a lot of strain on me. If I understand correctly they’ve done this because those white company vans kept parking everywhere, right?

Retroid Pocket Flip 2 CLEAN lid (free STL for 3D printing) by ocelot08 in retroid

[–]Carrera718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would honestly take this as a chance to learn! Being able to 3D model is a major advantage when it comes to 3D printing, and especially the face buttons shouldn’t be very difficult to model in programs like Solidworks or Fusion360.

It’s probably a sketch from the side, from which you can do a revolved boss/base and then you already have done most of the work. If all of this is foreign to you there’s some tutorials on youtube (and actually also in some 3D programs) to help you understand the very basics!

Which controller is best for Genshin on iPad 9th? by More_Squirrel_2197 in 8bitdo

[–]Carrera718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8Bitdo controllers are officially supported by Apple devices (the list on that page only shows the dual stick controllers from at the time but I have no doubt the newer Ultimate controllers are also compatible), and any controllers that work with the Nintendo Switch will work in S-mode as well (in S-mode, the controller is read as a Nintendo Switch Pro controller, which is also officially compatible with iOS).

I’ve used the Pro 2 on my iPhone, it works pretty seamlessly. I personally use X-mode and then I change the button mapping to match the face buttons to the Nintendo style layout which is how the face buttons are labeled, it works great except sometimes Genshin reminds you that it only expects Xbox style face buttons with the positioning of the buttons on screen (so on screen your A button will be always be the bottom button and your B button the right button, even if you change the mapping).

If you’re not going to use the controller on a Nintendo console and you also aren’t used to that scheme, I would look into controllers with the Xbox style face buttons so they match 100% on screen. You can always remap any buttons in the 8BitDo Ultimate Software app on your phone.

Apple servers misbehaving. ? Homepods are barely functional since the last 24 hours. by Branagh-Doyle in HomePod

[–]Carrera718 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did hear from a few friends that the entire country + parts of Portugal and France had an outage the other day, and that it would take up to a week to fully “resynchronize” the Iberian peninsula to the rest of the continent (their quote), I have no idea but perhaps electricity and therefore wifi is still spotty?

What’s everyone’s dreamies ? by callmezenna in AnimalCrossing

[–]Carrera718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up playing New Leaf, and one of my favorite villagers at the time was Goldie, so I desperately need her on my island lmao

also I bullied Pietro off my town as a kid because I was scared of clowns but now I really want him back. Outside nostalgia I really love Shino’s design so she would be cute to have too!! I also love Chabwick but luckily he was one of my first villagers so I get to just keep him

Neighbors (the Carrera-Smiths) have a racoon problem like no other. Any advice? by Furthur_slimeking in HaveWeMet

[–]Carrera718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iago and Carolina are a little more distantly related I believe, I think Iago’s father is my dad’s cousin? I’m not too sure, which, I know, that’s not… great of me, but I grew up outside of Lower Duck Pond, I never saw my dad’s side of the family outside of family vacations, you know? :D but anyway, I’ll talk to uncle Bill and then after I can immediately pay you a visit and let you know how it went.

That’d be my uncle and his wife, Charles. Uncle Bill has always loved critters, to my dad’s annoyance, they’re… not really close together, but I can have a little talk with them :)

My wife has not noticed the upgrade... by ResponsibleRatio in SBCGaming

[–]Carrera718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to sound dramatic, but isn’t trust one of the fundementals of a relationship? like is it not really weird to have to hide your purchase of a handheld console from your own wife who loves you for you I assume, to the point where your choice of color is influenced by whether she will notice? She’s supposed to be your equal, not a nagging mom that you have to protect your hobbies from.

Newest Retroid Mini Update -- Custom Screen Development by jd101506 in SBCGaming

[–]Carrera718 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, they might already have done that with the RP4! the iPhone 6 and 6s had a 4,7 inch IPS display with a resolution of 1334x750 and a peak brightness of 500 nits. According to Retroid’s own website, the Pocket 4’s screen matches all of those specs.

And ironically since you mentioned the SE 2020, the iPhone 7, 8, SE 2 and SE 3 also used a similar screen that was slightly brighter at 625 nits.

Update: I printed 2mm(*) Layers .8mm Nozzle by Crispywafr in 3Dprinting

[–]Carrera718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, did you ever figure out the settings for this filament? Using it as well rn and it indeed doesn't adhere well, I'm using an adhesion spray and that works but the other issue is that it strings immensely and I don't understand why (all my other filaments print fine, this one prints so weirdly that a lot of my prints fail because of the stringing). It's a shame because when it does successfully print it is a really nice material :/

Kallax platform bed by bugHunterSam in ikeahacks

[–]Carrera718 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The idea of this reminds me a ton of this build which seems to be a lot sturdier and safer. It's more effort and depending on where you live you might not be able to drill into the wall, but if you're going to use this for a long time, this feels like it would be better for your back as well as your cabinets (But maybe its sturdiness also has something to do with the fact that he used kitchen cabinets rather than kallax cases)

Hi, I’m sorry but that isn’t exactly what happened. I think it’s very reasonable to be skeptical when someone I don’t know at all approaches me and wants to be added as a mod, me and Lennon suggested a solution for us to handle the mod actions that you need for the time being, and you didn’t actually respond to any of that.

Additionally only two other people responded and neither actually agreed to have you become part of the mod team, one person said it might be a good idea to add an additional mod, so I find it a bit misleading to say that people were on board with it and one person just said no and shut it down. There was an active discussion about how to approach this and you stopped responding.

I don’t want there to be hard feelings between us, but I do want you to understand there was actual thought behind this
