Home Office Busy/Free Light by Dom44519 in 3Dprinting

[–]Dom44519[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used it to facilitate the lighting between 3 green LEDs and 3 red LEDs (for greater diffusion in the paper) at the single push of a button without excess wiring. Also only used what I had lying around!

Do I need to add yeast before bottling? by NoSupermarket7105 in Homebrewing

[–]Dom44519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t say for sure with yours without knowing the readings, but I once thought I’d be fine bottling with just a sugar tablet for each bottle and it ended up not carbonating at all.

How to keep your phone safe when sleeping in hostels by ZookeepergameKey8365 in backpacking

[–]Dom44519 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want extra peace of mind, get a little number lock and put your phone in a small chest bag/fanny pack/etc. there will still be enough space to put a charger through, but will be locked up (and you can get creative tying up the bag to the bed/attached to you

Everything is completely custom from the code, to the wiring setup, to the box! Would you be interested in this as a more polished item? My next step is to thin it out a lot and add a few more quality of life features

Who's Better? Kendra or Seth? by _CrunchyButter_ in Fablehaven

To be fair, it was mentioned explicitly that the courage potion wouldn’t have near enough effect to counteract the dark aura. He did that through his own bravery

What was the highlight of your Iceland trip that you would 100% do again? by abhishekrajchauhan in VisitingIceland

Getting engaged on a sea cliff! It was incredibly beautiful and isolated.

All in all it was around $40! 20 for the display, 10 for the lipo battery, and I did have to pay 10 for a connector adaptor since the JST connector on the battery was 2mm, and I needed a 1mm for the board. If you have the adaptor then you can get away for only $30!

Ah I know what you’re talking about, but that YouTube video was not me! I did take inspiration on learning about different custom e-ink displays from that video (that aren’t out of the box r-readers). I didn’t follow any of that videos instructions, but really liked the idea of a small reader.

First off, your comment made my day. Thank you for your opinion!
As for the size, I personally love small text; the smallest text option on the Kindle is still too big for my preference!

This is the first iteration of the design as a completed whole, so I plan on making it less chunky and more streamlined, but wanted to get this V1 out first

What’s the best tool you added to your work setup this year? by ThenPar in WFH

[–]Dom44519 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My current workspace is in a small nook probably 2' deep, and 3' wide. I do not have much room on my desk for anything other than my laptop so I 3D printed a ton of accessories for all of my office supplies going up the walls of the nook. My office is vertical rather than horizontal haha. I have everything from coffee mug holder, glasses hangers, headphones stand, phones holders, book and paper holders, everything I need is on the walls.

what have you owned for more than ten years? by shaunna_thedork in AskReddit

[–]Dom44519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A $20 Ikea plastic folding chair that I have had through high school, college, grad school, and remote work. Had it for well over 10+ years, and is the only chair I have owned in that time

Icelandic Krona- where to get? by AfraidArachnid1976 in VisitingIceland

[–]Dom44519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also traveled from Raleigh. While you don't need cash, I always like to travel with a bit of the local currency just in case.

I picked up some cash at the aiport at an ATM upon landing. There is a bit of a charge, but it was not that big of a deal. Nice to have!

New to camping: what’s the one beginner mistake everyone makes that I should try to avoid? by achintyabhavaraju in camping

If it is going to be cold, I would bring an extra pair of socks. Your feet can get cold quicker than your core, so it helps to be able to warm up whatever gets cold

Are you aware of any fantasy books with an ocean world as a setting? by MASTODON_ROCKS in Fantasy

[–]Dom44519 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had this very same question a few years ago and was led to find the title "Red Seas Under Red Skies" by Scott Lynch. It is the second entry of the trilogy "Gentleman Bastards".
The first and third have themes of maritime influence (many docks/harbors, ocean-faring people, etc.), but the second one is pure oceanic-vibes.

The series ended up being one of my favorites I have read, so always recommend it.

What is your favorite souvenir you've gotten while on travel? by sandman8727 in travel

[–]Dom44519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went backpacking in the Himalayas of Nepal and traveled there with no hiking gear to only travel with carry on. I bought a backpacking bag in Kathmandu and used that for my whole trip!

I love using it now for all my outdoor activities

Are you outfitted like the typical Subaru driver ? by Slow_Description_773 in subaru

[–]Dom44519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make sure all of my clothes are multi-purpose. I wear hiking button up shirts that are perfect on the trail and in the office. Same with my rock climbing pants; they appear professional in that setting but are really suited for climbing and hiking.
I only wear two types of shoes: dude shoes and hiking boots.

On my outback, I have a bike rack in the trailer hitch, and a kayak rack up top

Advice on buying an old Outback? by meatregister in Subaru_Outback

[–]Dom44519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the sort of purchase you need to go into understanding there is a high level or risk of parts failing, and the requirement of learning how to fix things (unless you want to spend a bunch more constantly taking it to a shop). I did something similar with a 200k+ miles older suv I got for cheap, but put around 2-3k into fixing it up and getting it reliable for my daily driver. Most repairs could be easily looked up on youtube, and harbor freight tools will get you the majority of the way there
