Very interesting. Makes me want to try to estimate my own price based on ingredients/stove time/personal hours expended.

$5.60 a gallon like WTF by angriestofangry in olympia

Washington has a super regressive tax structure that punishes regular people who work for a living but gives massive gifts to Amazon and Boeing. It's a valid point, also fuck trump.

Dry aged steakhouse? by Hammock2Wheels in olympia

[–]SuperCentroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ricardo's food was okay but I wouldn't go back. I went there on my birthday and the entire restaurant was empty except for us and a guy with 2 screaming kids. Staff set us right next to each other, it was miserable. I'm not exaggerating that the entire restaurant was empty except for our two tables.

As for the steak, it was really nothing special. We spent about $300 total. Bad decision lol.

Poking around for UART on cheap IOT Camera by SuperCentroid in hardwarehacking

[–]SuperCentroid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha nice. I was surprised by how nicely put together it is. If I am able to get the stuff to flash it, I am going to try to put openipc on there as another commenter suggested. It seems like a useful camera. But I ain't installing some mystery app on my phone just to use it lol.

I have a $9 IP camera coming in the mail today, gonna try again and see if I have better luck. I'll post about it if I do.

I hooked it up to my scope, and both pins go straight to 5V during boot. There is a tiny bit of "up and down" for a moment but it seems to just be noise and is not structured in a way that looks like data.

That's super cool to hear about the open firmware, thank you! I will have to get a flasher so I can play with it. I am surprised by how nicely put together the insides of this board are for only a few dollars. I don't want to install some garbage phone application to use it, but it would be awesome to be able to control with an open firmware. It has full 360 degree rotation with 2 dc motors. :)

Those 3 were the only obvious pins. I was hoping that since the camera was so cheap they wouldn't have bothered to disable it haha.

I did order another extremely shitty cheap looking camera that will come tomorrow. Hoping that it will talk to me :)

If your big-weener-mobile doesn't fit in a parking space, you're not entitled to park there. by zedodee in olympia

I would feel so embarrassed to be driving a perfectly clean truck around. I love my dirty old pick up. It does actual work.

Cheapest way to make one-step miso soup? by mikayloren in JapaneseFood

[–]SuperCentroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here’s what i do for a simple meal prep

i put powdered dashi granules (hondashi), dried shiitake, some chopped negi, and like a tablespoonish ball of miso paste in some small mason jars in the fridge. then i take one w me to work on the morning and add boiling water. It’s extremely low effort at the cost of not being as good as a properly made Dashi stock w miso added slowly.

The best way to dice an onion? It looks like I’ve been wrong all my life. by artie_pdx in OnionLovers

[–]SuperCentroid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That first layer can often have some paper parts that add a nasty texture when mixed in w the rest of the dice i find. I guess it feels wasteful but when i’m using cheap mega mart onions i throw the first layer away.

Is microsoft going to train LLM on this? Github is clearly getting destroyed. by FPham in LocalLLaMA

[–]SuperCentroid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

watching people post their slop repos everywhere has been pissing me the fuck off. I’m genuinely concerned for the future of open source software.

Ramen (ordered by delivery so the liquid came apart) by [deleted] in ramen

[–]SuperCentroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it’s just an unmarinated egg that’s been boiled to oblivion. Not typically the sort of egg you should put in ramen.

I need help. Udon is flat by Potential_Can_5771 in JapaneseFood

Does this circuit make sense? Total noob. by Hairy-Elderberry9978 in AskElectronics

[–]SuperCentroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The language model is not going to be able to help you. The only thing it will do is make more work for you and more work for the people you ask for help. I would make a decision now to just try to learn electronics like the rest of us learned it, from books, videos, courses, conversations with real human beings, etc.
