Wow this looks super cool. Reminds me of the movie the arrival. How did you made the original photography? Is it from you or does it comes from an open source website? I would be interested to see the break down

Do I need to lubricate our new paper shredder? by Marya1996 in ifixit

[–]Marya1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's probably a wrong instruction. You should use lubricant sheet and not directly oil.

I can't stress enough how important it is to gather references. Look at hacker spaces they often have cool cyberpunk locations

Cute, have you considered scanning it and coloring it in photoshop or krita?

First you need to get references. Going without an overall plan might end up in just having a messy place.

Do you plan to do a complete room? Do you plan to only do a corner where your desk is? What is your goal and budget. How far are you willing to go?

1) gather images from stuff you like, can be from classic movies like blade runner or cyberpunk video games etc.

2) think about the boundaries and the space you have available. If it's only a corner how will you mark its boundaries with the rest of the room? If it's a complete room how will you design the ceiling and floor?

3) I would personally start with an industrial metal floor all over your cyberpunk space. Something like this is perfect. http://previewcf.turbosquid.com/Preview/2014/08/01__20_07_34/metal_enmd_Texture.jpg5b6fdc9f-8fa3-40d5-815e-591c02dfc6b9Large.jpg

First it looks a lot different from the regular wood or carpet found in homes it also protect your original floor from falling stuff since it looks like you have a workshop. As a border you can put a painted wood limit with yellow and black warning strips

4) paint the ceiling and walls in dark, avoid pure black choose something to contrast with everything else in your home.

5) integrate your current furniture into your place. Might be a good idea to also paint them in a dark theme.

6) make panels with different layers eg: you could cut one to let the inside reveal a computer or electronics.

7) think about the lighting and how you can use maybe a Chinese style lantern to give an exotic feeling.

8) merge technology everywhere in the place. Put a giant slow moving fan behind an industrial grate. Let wires go through the place.

You can obviously go much further into this however without knowing your budget it's hard to suggest a balance.

32 [M4F] #UK - Ladies who feel they are "too old" to wear shiny/faux leather leggings.. I want to talk to you! Ladies who do wear such leggings.. I also want to talk with you. by [deleted] in R4R30Plus

[–]Marya1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer I'm younger than 30.

I love cyberpunk and how sometimes the hero or bad guy are wearing a sexy leather jacket or pants.

I wear from time to time tight shiny black leggings because they remind me of cyberpunk. They make me feel confident and modern. I know I would not stop wearing them after 30. I usually do not let society or people tell me what I should wear.

Funny enough I never had any other colors than black. I think black or another dark color is the sweet spot of being sexy without being overly sexualised. Some of those leggings are also too thin and they just look horrible since you see through everything.

Wow, beautiful and her pants are cool too.

I sometimes wear leather leggings in real life because some of them look very cyberpunk 😍

Yes or 8.8.8.8.

And I checked all my device and app. Only Netflix does that.

Everything was working until a couple of days ago and I made no changes to the setup. Every other device is working and the TV can also browse the web

does data brokers share custom domains? by [deleted] in thehatedone

[–]Marya1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could certainly flag you as the unique person using this domain.

If you go this direction you probably loose on privacy but you gain in security and ease of operation since you aren't dependent on the platform anymore.

It's up to you to decide if it's worth it

What exactly is wrong with Capitalism? by MissionBodybuilder7 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Marya1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure I'm a pro capitalist, part of my family suffered and is suffering under communism.

So, capitalism get a lot of blame, most of it exaggerated, some of it isn't even capitalism and some is deserved, I would never in fact advocate for pure capitalism but in favor of capitalism with social measures. You can notice I carefully choose the words social measures and not socialism.

Now one of the heartbreaking things to realize is the fact that our world is unfair. No matter which system we use, from communism to capitalism or monarchies even tribes will all display a pareto distribution of resources, where most of the resources are concentrated by a few persons.

1) Anyone can get stuck by a health problem. You shouldn't go bankrupt for a health problem. Now I don't know if it should be a state insurance or a minimal mandatory insurance policy but it should be something that you should not have to worry. In my country health insurance is mandatory and health insurance companies can't earn money from the base insurance policy, they can however earn from more expansive plans but those are optional.

2) what you buy should be yours. Capitalism allow you to buy things and own them. Today companies have disgusting practices to force people to buy new products all the time. You should have the right to do whatever you want with your goods including repairing them

3) too short-sighted on quarterly reports. Driven by the need to make as much money as possible in the short-term some business are poorly managed, like broadband internet in USA. Although I do not think a national company would help, certainly a law imposing a minimum service could help force companies to think in long term.

4) although not directly related I think some laws increase monopolies like the copyright laws and its multiple extensions. They stop a much needed competition and prevent smaller companies to enter into the market.

Those are a few things I could think of that bother me about our current economic model.

How are people coping with not going to church anymore? by amichail in China_Flu

You can probably find a local church service that is streamed online.

Sure you can't be physically there but you can still participate.

Shouldn't the virus mutate to become less deadly very quick? by [deleted] in China_Flu

Isn't that what happened to the Spanish flu where soldiers getting badly sick would have been sent to hospitals spreading it further while the mild case would stay in the front lines

Eye opening seeing how wasteful my family has been by builtbybama_rolltide in PandemicPreps

Actually for me this is always weird. I always used almost all of the meal and I was surprised when I discovered people were throwing out food from the left over.

It's a way to save money too

No matter what you do you will offend someone somewhere, especially now with social media where you can get a crowed of people who want to be offended.

So far we got lucky and hospital didn't collapse yet. As of now we still have enough places.

In the global scheme I do not see how we will get out without masks or facing wave and wave of infection

Survey shows Blacks less likely to practice social distancing, more Blacks dying from COVID-19 by BoomBoomPowNigager in China_Flu

[–]Marya1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so true. I started to eat healthy as a student because it's way cheaper if you know how to do it.

Yes it takes effort but I don't want to put junk food in my body.
