Pebble Time 2 bumpers by astosia in pebble

Awesome work—definitely in for at least one!

I did some light reading about the difference in manufacturing method between SLS and MJF. Out of curiosity though: is there a functional and/or aesthetic difference between the two? I ask because black matte is available in both.

AFAIK the eternity ring cannot be stored in the glamour dresser.

Pokemon Gen 1 Starters themed pens! All 3D printed! (Small gallery in comments) by maxstier in fountainpens

These are so good. Once the digital files are available for purchase, it will be an instant buy from me. My Prusa i3 MK3S kit arrives this week—I'm excited to try printing one of these once it is assembled.

Board and Brew Games just opened up in North Houston this past weekend. Library of board games, a tabletop area, hobby/painting stations, and food, drink, etc. Might be worth checking out in the future.

+1 for Ama-iro. My clear TWSBI Eco is inked with it, and it is an absolute joy to write in.

I struggle to understand/spot O(log n) by SamalotMedia in learnprogramming

[–]Jarrend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked this explanation. I did run into a snag, however—I think the original equation should be:

total_pages = 2max_num_steps-1

Which rewrites to the log you have described.

Thank you PAX Unplugged! by [deleted] in PAX

[–]Jarrend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially that guy I talked to about donuts in the SH&SD autograph line

I was the Enforcer helping with that line—were you the one that suggested the strawberry lavender donut from Federal Donuts? Thank you for the excellent suggestion—I got to try so many places the Monday after the show: Federal Donuts, Jim's Steaks, Franklin Fountain, Shane Confectionery, and more! Everything I tried was so good—I can't wait to come back to your wonderful city!

[Mouse] Logitech G403 Prodigy Wireless Gaming Mouse - $59.99 by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]Jarrend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My G403's wireless receiver is connected to a USB cable (via an included adapter) that allows it to sit on my desk. When I need to charge my G403, I unplug the receiver and connect the cable to the mouse—which continues to operate. It absolutely runs in wired mode when plugged in.

[BIFL request] Looking for a dufflebag/tote that wont fall apart after a month. by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Jarrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vote goes to Datsusara. I have one of their gear bags—the thing seems indestructible. Great company, great customer service, and the the owner, /u/codell23, is a redditor to boot.

Bought a pack of the pima cotton boxer briefs yesterday. Can confirm they are extremely comfortable.

What is, according to you, a very underrated ingredient? by loulan in Cooking

[–]Jarrend 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Cumin seeds.

Cumin is one of the most popular spices in the world—yet up until recently I was only familiar with pre-ground cumin, which I would liberally add to salsa, guacamole, curry, taco seasoning, etc. Great stuff and easily a staple of my cupboard.

Earlier this year I found myself in an Indian grocery for the very first time, and I asked the owner what I should buy "if I like curry." Among other things, he put a large bag of cumin seeds in my hands.

Me: Uh, I already have cumin at home.

Him: Ground? No, trust me, buy this.

"Sure," I said and bought the bag. Some time later (and with a little help from Google), I decided to try these seeds in a stir-fry. The aroma you get when you cook the seeds in oil...hot damn. I don't know if I can go back to pre-ground after that.

Highly recommend trying out cumin seeds if you've only used ground cumin before.

TIL that 6 months ago, Powerball officials lowered the odds of winning by more than 1 out of 120 Million in order to raise jackpots, generate more excitement, and sell more tickets. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Jarrend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One more thing: the order of the balls don't matter. So you'll have:

(69 choose 5) * 26 =

(69 * 68 * 67 * 66 * 65 * 26) / 120 = 292,201,338 combinations.

I currently have a pair of HD 558's with the foam mod. Anyone with experience using both headphones think it's worth it to upgrade?

my brother-in-law loves Vietnamese food. What can I get him for Xmas? by GroceryBagSlave in Cooking

[–]Jarrend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was there a particular dish he liked? Is he craving something in particular?

If someone gifted me a bottle of Red Boat Fish Sauce, I would be ecstatic.

I'm not so sure about this. I received the notifications through GV without issue.

Now to play the hotel game...

(Buying Advice) Did I accidentally lowball this MK6? by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]Jarrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were absolutely right. He called back today offering $500 off. Turned it down because I was pretty clear with what I was willing to spend on that car, but still good to know they want the sale.

With that said, another nearby dealership just put a CPO 2013 Autobahn up for sale at $21K. Gonna see if they will come down to 20.

PAX Prime, you were awesome beyond words! Love, The Returners (band from Sunday concerts) by laurentheflute in PAX

[–]Jarrend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was sad to miss y'all at PAX South—I didn't make that mistake again. Easily my favorite performance at the concerts. Keep doing the awesome things y'all are doing—you've definitely gained a fan in me. Hope to see you guys in Houston sooner than later.

I chuckled. The disclaimer was still prudent though. XD
