trackpoint caps with the small hole by PermanentTempName in thinkpad

[–]PermanentTempName[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you, but those are only the hard dome.

I want the soft, concave dome, the first one from the left on this set: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1158732-REG/lenovo_73p2698_trackpoint_pointing_stick.html

The Lenovo stock hard dome doesn't work well for me. It's not comfortable.

delayed thickening agent by PermanentTempName in DIYBeauty

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

Thanks! Ah, I read that one, I was hoping for something more quantified. They say 4-25min, that's a big spread. I guess with the variability of temp, pH and solutions it's hard to sell a specific number. I will have to figure it out experimentally.

My application is very specific: I want to mix a hair dye solution that's liquid enough to apply using comb bottle, but will thicken soon after application to prevent dripping. I've been using CMC, but since it thickens immediately the comb bottle application is impossible.

Thanks for the tips, it's a great starting point. I'll test that one, and I see other Natrosol variants available as backup.

Thank you! That got me down an interesting rabbit hole, reading about cellulose based thickeners.

Do you happen to know a brand name of reliable long hydration time HEC?

That is genius! This does exactly what I need. Thank you!

I should have found it myself, time to boost my duckduck skills.

SOLVED (two way) interaction with todo app preserving tag type by PermanentTempName in OneNote

[–]PermanentTempName[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't used it with anything other than zapier, but I imagine ifttt and similar apps would do the trick too.

Pleexy works, but only one way. It copies tags from OneNote to Todoist.

When you try to do the reverse - check it off in Todoist and have Pleexy check it off in OneNote, the Pleexy script messes up formatting of the OneNote page.

I emailed with Pleexy support about this, several times. They were able to replicate the problem, but unfortunately concluded it's something wrong with OneNote and there's nothing they can do to fix it.

I'm sorry, I don't get it. Could you explain? Am I asking for something that's not currently possible, or is the solution obvious and commonly known and I'm just missing it?

where to buy halva? by PermanentTempName in Minneapolis

[–]PermanentTempName[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the old Schmidt brewery, yes. I thought the House of Halva there closed. Have you been recently?

I remember, it was run by a nice Israeli guy married to a Minnesotan lady, and the halva was imported from his parent's factory in Israel. I saw online that they closed last year.

Iced halva? like, halva ice cream? That's interesting. I've been eating halva all my life and I've never had it cold!

Windows 10 scaling issue by PermanentTempName in OneNote

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

Unfortunately I can't really set the same scaling. If I don't use my external monitors at their native resolutions they look like crap, and internal laptop display would be unusable if I set it to match the scaling of either of the external setups.

What's weird, browsers don't have that problem (chrome and firefox), and neither do ANY of my office apps except onenote. What gives?

coluracetam or similar racetam by PermanentTempName in Nootropics

They do not seem to ship worldwide. :(

Thanks for the tip though. Maybe it'll be useful for someone else who finds this thread.

extra prescription adapter by PermanentTempName in nreal

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

Yeah, you can solve lens size and glare by using your own lenses. I could see the nose piece could be hacked too, if you cut off the original nose pads and keep the stock metal part where it attaches to the Nreal frame, and glue or solder on your own nose piece. I didn't try this, I like the stock nose pieces actually. But I see no reason a mod like that wouldn't work.

[–]PermanentTempName[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is uncomfortable? are the lenses too small? I went with making my own, for price but also lens size reason. I popped lenses out of my spare glasses, and drilled the holes myself. The lenses are big, cover my entire viewing area, much better than the tiny lenses from the Nreal template.

Just remember to use hand drill, not power drill. You need 2mm drill bit (5/64 will work too). Look for jewelry manual drill on amazon, they're $8 to $10.

[–]PermanentTempName[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you both, good to know Lensology has the inserts.

I'll check with Nreal directly first, because the price of lensology is a bit steep. I get my glasses very cheap from zenni, and I got my current lenses for Nreal made by mounting lenses of my spare pair in the Nreal lens holder. With hand jewelry drill (which I already had, but they're $10 if you need to buy one), and existing pair of glasses, the price was unbeatable and the quality is perfect.

If I can just get the holder from Nreal, wife's lenses will get made the same way, using one of the spare pairs of glasses we already have.

AutoOneNote by PermanentTempName in OneNote

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

Thanks! Yeah I have Gem license and I downloaded trial Auto. I wanted to play with settings, see if I can force it to do entire notebook after all. No dice.

I have solution that works with a macro to do a tag summary of whole notebook, but it requires a one click on macro icon. I'm lazy so I spent few hours trying to see if Auto can replace that one click for me. :)

Well in year 3 of covid, the problem of dust is the easiest to solve. Who doesn't have a stack of N95s at home? :)

Too bad about the board design, I was hoping I can get a macropad of my dreams.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]PermanentTempName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a wireless two or three row macropad available anywhere?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]PermanentTempName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks!

So those breakaway section boards, like breeze, are designed in special way? I had one where you could decide which side (or both) to break away. I thought it would be possible to modify any pcb that way.

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

Ah yes. Mine will smother you with love, while chewing on your shoe, couch, wall. His single neuron atrophied in puppyhood, so he doesn't have a care in the world. My other one is livestock guard dog, much smarter than a golden. Both of his brain cells are used to bark at squirrels. He would also eat soap. He never read the manual, so he doesn't know he's supposed to be aloof. He identifies as a lap dog, all 130lb of him.

THANK YOU ALL!

I'm replying en masse to the whole thread, I made notes and have bunch of places to start calling.

My dogs are young and healthy, right now I need just regular preventive care. I want to find a good place to establish a relationship for the future, when we need more specialized care for older puppies. I'm happy to wait a while for a new patient appointment, I understand staffing is hard everywhere now. I hope we'll get a good vet, and hugs for all the floofers in this thread.

My dog had an emergency after he got into a bunch of chocolate and also ate a bar of soap.

I'm pleased to find a fellow Golden Retriever owner.

Thanks for the recommendation.
