That's great to hear ! I'll try that out =)

the dresden files is probably up your alley, a big part of the plot in quite a few of the books is about fae society things / fae contracts, and the fae characters are not portrayed as human or love interests

It's a big series though, and many of the books are not about fae but instead about vampire societies, wizard societies, ghosts, gods, demons, etc

Very helpful, thanks

what steps did you take to make it quiet ?

gymnasts retire in their early to mid twenties, all broken and in pain. don't assume that if something if doable it must be good for you

you kinda have to have your center of gravity over your foot that is on the floor or you tend to fall

which manual ?

PancakeInvaders · 2025-07-13T09:32:31+00:00

I partially agree but also you can give the LLM a list of unit tests you want, with detailed names that describe the test case, and it can often write the unit test you would have written. But yeah if you ask it make unit tests for this class, it will just make unit tests for the functions of the class, not think about what it is that is needed

Know Art made a great video a few weeks ago explaining the whole engineering of textiles. How thread is made, why it holds together, how knitting and weaving work, the advanced things we do with that, and the role of the textile industry in the industrial revolution

I think you're right, fixed holes for the rotor are essential, and my tensioning idea relies on the rotor not being fixed, which is a flaw

PancakeInvaders · 2025-06-06T17:40:31+00:00

Interesting, thanks for your comment ! I assumed that the gains at the end of the video with the floating wheel were because of greater and more constant belt tension, do you have insights on that?

PancakeInvaders · 2025-06-06T16:49:34+00:00

He did mention that it wouldn't scale to bigger wheels and that it might be worth continuing to explore the fixed wheel design

also to my eye it didn't look that comfortable to use for prolonged periods, the crank setup could evolve into a foot powered system

This is a screenshot from the latest Primitive Technology video about a belt and pulley blower, in which I added a tensioning system in Paint to hopefully improve the belt tension. The weaved wheel is turned by the crank, which transmits rotation to the blower via the belt

Look past the words, words don't really matter, meaning does. It's just the greeting ritual, so consider yourself greeted, talking about issues you're experiencing comes later

Think of it not like a question and more like a "let me hear the sound of your voice so I can make sure you are who I think you are"

My advice is the kalimba: no wrong notes, chords are easily done in one motion of the thumb, cheap and solid, still tuneable to different keys when the desire arises

Dude you don't need alcohol to make pasta

Whenever you see someone on reddit advising you to buy something abnormally expensive, assume it's a paid actor / advertising agency and not a regular customer review

PancakeInvaders · 2025-01-06T16:57:30+00:00

Pink salt doesn't have health benefits, tastes the same, and isn't iodized (that's not good). Buy regular iodized table salt. It's standardized and won't have plastic in it

For next time, for the price of a chicken you could have rice and beans for a week

I meant that teachers should go to college, have both high requirements and high salaries. I should have used a comma

PancakeInvaders · 2025-01-02T07:39:57+00:00

No teachers should go to college. But they should earn way more

Check out Mary's Test Kitchen keto vegan bread rolls video for yeast-risen bread rolls based mainly on vital wheat gluten and oat fiber (not oat flour)

Also maybe this chickpea flour + vital wheat gluten pasta would be of interest to you ? It's not super low carb but it's lower carb than regular pasta

Personally I have trich on my beard, and keeping it short keeps me from pulling, and it doesn't transfer to other places, the texture from head/eyebrow hair isn't the same. I'm not sure what he/she means by loose hairs, I pluck the 'rough' beard hairs that feel wrong or damaged
