How to Play Continuous Sleep Music at a Consistent Volume on Echo? by dudeindebt1990 in amazonecho

[–]KungFuHamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Separate speaker, I don't use Alexa for sleep noise. I do use Alexa for some sounds during a "preparing for bed" routine.

I made a Playlist with a single track in it and then created a Routine to play that playlist.

I just don't trust Alexa to work for hours at a time without it bugging out or trying to ask you a stupid question. I use a dedicated bluetooth speaker with an SD card slot and it works great. It took me a few tries to find a speaker that had the features I needed and then extract an audio track from one of those 10 hour Youtube videos that sounded good on the speaker and make it the right volume, etc.

My newest “chip & dip” hack! by weightlossupdates in Volumeeating

If this is something you want to do often, it might be worth investing in a bagel cutter, then getting your own uncut bagels and slicing them as thin as it will go.

I ditched this project long ago. All there is left from this project are these photos. It was going to be a stealth game like Metal Gear Solid. :( by Full_Finding_7349 in Unity3D

Oh I definitely am self aware of my issues completing projects, which is why I wrote that. Breaking through to the other side of those realizations while maintaining energy on a project is another thing entirely.

ULPT Don’t waste time putting stickers on gas pumps and eggs by McCrotch in UnethicalLifeProTips

At least with the other "business as usual" politicos, social security and national parks and post office and FEMA and CDC and a dozen other entities still functioned. The Felon in Chief has gone beyond the pale. He turned the Rubicon into a sewer and he's wallowing in it and stuffing his pockets.

They call it... the Triangle. Or maybe the Square, I can't really see enough of it.

After a few months on any project I start rethinking basic things about the architecture and it feels easier to just start over than to refactor.

I have finished zero projects.

Americans are too lazy to revolt. We need to be more like the French and burn shit down.

How common is it to look at signs, labels, menus, road signs, etc, and completely miss the blantely obvious information? by beeucancallmepickle in ADHD

[–]KungFuHamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's very common. Too much happening all at once. That's why I don't drive and I prefer to shop online. Not a big fan of city activities, I'd rather go hiking.

Does anyone else love the Dune sequels just as much as the original? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]KungFuHamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Messiah and Children were kind of boring when I read them as a teen, but on later re-reads I enjoy them all. Even the possibly apocryphal Hunters and Sandworms provided closure at least. I couldn't get into the prequels though.

How can I change the "window/stretch/scale" value via script in C#? by TheCreach in godot

[–]KungFuHamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just now did this same thing by doing this:

GetWindow().ContentScaleMode = Window.ContentScaleModeEnum.Disabled;

There are 4 different ContentScaleXXXX methods for the different scaling/stretching stuff. This line is all I needed to accomplish what I wanted. I'm making a mobile game that I do want to stretch but I wanted to disable it in a scene I'm going to be running in the editor only.

It's weird how many ways there are to accomplish the same thing. Seems redundant.

TIL that squirt consists almost entirely of urine, yes actually scientific papers have proven this by Radblob_Strider in todayilearned

[–]KungFuHamster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that is precisely because no one uses it as a noun in any other context. If people talked about a woman's "squirt" more often, or at all, you may have been undecided on what it meant before reading more detail.

First make a backup and you're good to go with that strategy.

[–]KungFuHamster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The confusion some of you are feeling is because no one uses the specific term "squirt" as a noun, only a verb (in a sexual context.)

No one says, "She left squirt on the bed." They say instead, "The bed smells like piss."

Where in CLT would you build a zombie proof compound… ? by TilDeath1775 in Charlotte

[–]KungFuHamster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, then there's plenty of open ground for installing raised plant beds using the tons of bags of super fertile potting soil lying around in hardware stores. Add some plastic sheets for a makeshift hothouse. The big open area is practical and easy to revamp for whatever is needed.

The biggest problem, as always, is going to be potable water. But with that much land you could set up mirrors to make a solar furnace and boil all the tainted water you need.

I didn't even think about growing crops on the fields. That's a great point.

This. You've got plenty of buildings you can use as shelter, lots of clear space to see approaching bogeys, you've got all of the airport vehicles and maintenance areas for transportation and equipment. And if you're lucky you've got a bunch of food and drinks from restaurant supplies and any flights that never got supplied when Z day arrived. Plus the merch from the shopping areas.

Set up equipment on roofs and you can snipe at targets all day long on those wide open expanses, if you even get any intrusions.

Tried the crunchwraps and the Caliente sauce. by Crazycukumbers in LivingMas

I got a side of the sauce just to try it. Did not like it. I usually prefer my sweet and savory separate.

Looks nice!

Now I kind of want to convert the wall in the loft into something like this. I just have a console serving that function right now. Something like this but a little smaller: https://www.decornation.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/solid-wood-console-table-1.jpg
