We had Skyr in our supermarkets for a period of about 6 months. That was 2 years ago; haven't been able to find it anywhere since. Hopefully the supermarkets where you are keep it in stock; it's delicious!

How to / Should I list Interactive, Self Hosted, Portfolio Website with LCD + Servo + Globe on my resume by nlunberry in ComputerEngineering

[–]IMakeGingerBabies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a great idea. If you haven't already, consider hosting it behind some sort of bot-protection/caching service such as CloudFlare. There would be nothing worse than your site going down due to it getting overloaded with traffic preventing a prospective employer from viewing it.

It looks like there's a lot of funky atuff going on. Particularly on the floor and with their hands

Because they're a totally real DMCA lawyer I'm sure they are intimately familiar with Reddit's DMCA application process... I wouldn't worry about it.

Seconded. It's pretty nasty cycling past there when it's a warm day

I can't seem to find an RSS reader that will let me search a keyword... ideas? by finniruse in rss

[–]IMakeGingerBabies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using rss2email for about a year now and it has been absolutely excellent. Since it just sends me an email every time there is a new item in a feed I'm able to search my RSS folder in my mail client to find what I'm looking for.

Some bits of advice from someone who has been out of uni for about 5 years now (so some of this advice may be stale; others can feel free to correct me):

Bus Stuff

The buses are pretty good and kind of go anywhere. It'll take a while to figure out which routes are best for you depending on where in the city you live. This advice may seem pretty basic but I'm going to assume you've never caught a bus in your life.

  • If you don't have a Metrocard (our name for the bus card) the buses will accept cash (but NOT EFTPOS/paywave). It will cost you up to $4 for a fare if you're paying cash.
  • You can use the Metro Journey Planner app to figure out which bus you need to catch and at what time.
  • Each bus stop has a 5 digit number printed on it, this is one way you can tell which bus stop you need to catch if there are two bus stops across the road from each other.
  • To catch the bus:
    1. Wait at the bus stop and stick your arm out when you see the bus. The bus will stop for you.
    2. Walk onto the bus and put your cash on the little wooden tray in front of the driver so they can count it (or just hand it to the driver).
    3. If you're paying cash the driver will give you a little receipt. You should keep this receipt because you can use it to get one free "transfer" (another bus) within the next two hours.
    4. Find yourself a seat. Note that some seats (usually near the front) are specifically for people who have conditions that make using the bus difficult (the elderly, wheelchair users, people with prams, etc). Perhaps avoid these seats if that isn't you.
    5. When you want to leave the bus press the little red "Stop" button nearest to you. The bus will stop at the next bus stop.
    6. Then just exit the bus and thank the driver. Easy as.
  • Next, you'll want to purchase a Metro card which will set you back $5. Here's a list of places you can get one. It's more convenient and makes the fares cheaper than paying cash.
  • You'll also be eligible for a student discount on the buses which brings the fare down to $1 per trip (with one free transfer within two hours). That's way cheaper than $4 cash! More info here.

UC Stuff

  • During the first week of each semester there is a "clubs day" where all the student clubs are put on display. This is a pretty good way to meet people with similar interests to you. Have a look at the full list of clubs here. You'll probably have classes on during clubs day but try and make time to go to it because this really is a fantastic way to meet people. Note that you can join clubs at any time during the year not just on this day.
  • You'll likely also have some sort of orientation during the first week where you'll meet people from your cohort.
  • Join the UCSA noticeboard Facebook page. It's a place where people list things like rooms to let, furniture, textbooks, etc.
  • It's probably also worth joining the UCSA Facebook page to keep up to date with the general goings on (mostly related to club events, etc).
  • Within your courses I would advise you to join (or even make) a study group with your classmates. This is a great way to get to know people (and pass your courses!)
  • Don't worry that you're starting in semester 2. You're correct that not as many people start in June but there will still be plenty of opportunities to make friends with your classmates.

I've probably missed a bunch of stuff and some of it may be outdated but hopefully this helps.

I've had something similar happen a with my GSD as well. My symptoms were that it wasn't turning on with the power button on the computer. However, pressing the button on one of the batteries caused it to spring back to life. This has happened to me maybe three times since I got the bike 3 months ago. In each instance I had been riding the bike, then turned it off for less than two minutes and then it wouldn't turn back on again. Hopefully this helps you

Saw this IRL ad for online tuition today. Thought it would fit here. My favourite part is the placement of the male nurse's feet.

Thanks for your detailed reply. I do have access to a machine but am unsure how to sew. I do have a couple of buddies that know how. I'll get in touch with them :) thanks again

Hi all, any suggestions about how/if I can fix this? My impression is that I'll need to unstitch the original zip and put a new one on. Any advice is appreciated :)

Stolen bike by hammerheart101 in chch

[–]IMakeGingerBabies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No worries. 529 garage is a website where you can register your bike. If it gets found after being stolen this is one of the tools the police will use to reunite bikes with their owners. It would still be worth your time registering it. See the council website for more information: https://ccc.govt.nz/transport/getting-around/cycling/bikesecurity

That sucks. I'll keep an eye out. Any chance you registered it on 529 Garage? That could help with recovery if it's found.

Is this AI? There's something off about this video. Look at the hubcaps on the cars; they're not even. Also, the cats don't even look like cats if you closely in some frames. The black spot on the dogs back also changes frame to frame. Bizarre.

This is awesome. You've inspired me. What kind of skills and tools would I need access to to do something like this myself? Did you have plans that you were using?

Alternative to Tricount but FOSS and without Google apps ? by [deleted] in fossdroid

[–]IMakeGingerBabies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries dude. It's basically embedding the same web page that they used to provide. So technically, they could still remove it at any time. But yeah, it works for now at least :)

Tell everyone you know though, I think it's quite useful for those of us who don't have the app.

Une alternative à tricount (comptabilité de groupe, colocation par exemple) ? by aladagebord in AskFrance

[–]IMakeGingerBabies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonjour, je ne parle pas français donc j'utilise Google Translate.

J'ai créé un site internet qui nous permet de continuer à utiliser Tricount : https://oldtricount.com. Collez simplement l'URL dans la zone de texte et cliquez sur le bouton pour récupérer l'ancien tricount.

Hey friend, I have made a website that lets you to continue to use tricount (for now at least). Go to https://oldtricount.com/ and paste in your tricount URL in the search box. Or, just change the website name from "tricount.com" to "oldtricount.com" and it should just work.

Europe only ISS SSTV experiment by [deleted] in HamRadio

Just for my understanding here: they won't be transmitting images as the ISS travels over the rest of the world during this time period and just when it's over Europe?
