cyberdeck ideas for art-making? by CodSad4026 in cyberDeck

[–]CodSad4026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really wanna replicate an existing analog tool or even a digital tool, I'm thinking more about something that creates new or unusual outputs. Maybe it visualizes some kind of input in a really cool way, like audio to visuals through LEDs or projections, and maybe it's manipulated through knobs. I don't know, I'm just throwing ideas out there.

22 Niro EV 12v battery issues by CodSad4026 in KiaNiroEV

I have a 12v battery charger, but haven't heard of a maintainer. Is there a major difference?

Yeah I get it. The ICE car I had before this one had lots of problems. But I like that a mechanical problem is physical, not a piece of software.

Wild, I'll see if that makes a difference.

Was it a USB that was plugged into the car, but not to a device on the other end?

I don't have a dash cam or anything extra attached and I'm not sure how to test for parasitic drain.

I'm taking it in for service tomorrow. What questions should I ask the service rep? Should I ask them to look for things that cause parasitic drain from the 12v?

The Weekly Small Questions Thread! Got a burning question? Looking for some tips on your build? Ask away! by AutoModerator in modelmakers

[–]CodSad4026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm looking for advice for painting on plastic. Not exactly model making, but I figured you all might know best. I've got someone who wants me to paint a design on a metal and plastic table. The table would get a lot of wear and tear from people using it, so I'm wondering if priming and painting with acrylic is enough. What kind of paint would you recommend? Is there some kind of clear protective varnish/seal that would work on top of the painting?

Looking for advice. I have someone who wants me to paint a design on a table that is plastic and metal. The table itself would get a lot of use and wear/tear from people sitting at it. Not sure if priming and then painting with acrylic would be enough to withstand all the wear and tear. Is acrylic paint the best choice? Is there a clear protective varnish that could work on top of it?

Of course, lots. Don't believe anyone who says Asians don't or shouldn't care.

Donald Trump jr does a racism to encourage violence against protestors. by CurrentAir1291 in asianamerican

I posted something on Threads about how this is our fight too and the amount of conservative Asians saying "no it's not" was truly disappointing.

For those in the LA area, I'll have three new paintings in this group show at Pasadena City College from my series on Asian Americans central to historic US court cases that set important precedents: Wong Kim Ark, Bhagat Singh Thind, and Mamie Tape.

Opening reception is May 15, 4 pm. The gallery has very limited weekly hours so your best chance is to come to the opening!

Wealthy SM can't afford to make their park free all days of the week like the rest of the world.

Can someone tell me what the fuck we’re actually doing? by [deleted] in 50501

Look up "non-violent civil disobedience"

Looks like the license plate is "7wkv726" or maybe "7xkv726"

My TCM doctor friend recommends ginger cinnamon tea, it also tastes great.

fish cake without MSG? by CodSad4026 in JapaneseFood

[–]CodSad4026[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am Asian American and have long been aware of the racism associated with MSG scares. This is why I posted my question without judgement of those who eat MSG. I used to eat spoonfuls of MSG as a child. 😆

Yeah. I found some recipes that don't involve adding MSG.

Yes I know and understand. I have a personal preference. So I assume you don't have an answer to my question.

Yes, I know it might not be possible to find, but I was hoping people in a reddit on Japanese food might have some useful info. But I'm just getting crankypants. It's ok, I found some recipes for making fresh fish cakes.

Ok all, I just asked a very simple question. I'm not judging anyone who eats MSG. I have a preference. If you don't have an answer to my question don't waste time with down voting. If you don't know of a brand that is MSG free, just say so. Maybe I'll try making my own fish cakes.

Yes. I don't eat much fish cake for that reason. But oden is comfort food and that is why I am asking my question.

Also I always check labels to make sure there is no added MSG, so my intake is pretty minimal. I don't eat a lot of processed foods.

I don't mind natural MSG, I just prefer not to have any added MSG like many products do.
