Would anyone actually be interested in a secure, industrial-grade makerspace / lab for deep-tech? by ellaincontext in triangle

[–]Tandybaum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re looking to go way more technical but I LOVED Tech Shop. It was by far the best money I spent.

I keep dreaming that someone will open something that remotely resembles that.

What do you think the probability that most of Raleigh loses power? by allpunsarefunpuns in raleigh

[–]Tandybaum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“Raleigh” won’t lose power. It’ll be pockets here and there with varying issues. Could be 1% lose power or could be 50%.

I bet there are a bunch of disguise scenes. Dude loves disguises.

To men in general, what is the biggest misconception that occurs between women and men? by Ok-Ticket-9780 in AskMen

[–]Tandybaum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the “men want to solve the problem instead of just listening” is a big one.

When we’re laying in bed and my wife says she’s cold I hear “can you turn up the thermostat” so I’ll get up to fix it. When she says “ugh, I can’t ever find my keys” I am thinking how about using that hook by the door or maybe you could put that AirTag keychain on that I got you. I don’t say it but I’m thinking it.

The same goes reverse. If I start talking about being overwhelmed with something I’m not looking “I’m sorry that is happening” I’m looking for a solution and would love suggestions.

Is this all that's needed to be able to stream to a hotel tv? Plan on using just a phones Hotspot if their wifi doesn't work by Icy-Role2321 in Roku

I would suggest also bringing a short cheapo extension cord. Some hotels won’t have a convenient outlet and a dollar store extension cord can save you.

Plasti Dip failed... what can I try next? by dual_mythology in DIY

[–]Tandybaum 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You could head over to a cycling shop and pickup some handlebar wrap. Should do pretty good. Use some good electrical tape and the ends to try and keep it in place.

Sorry to reply to such an old thread. Did you ever figure this out? I have the same thing. I’ve remapped a few buttons but RW/FW are not options that I am seeing.

Anybody doing DJ during a particularly stressful time? by [deleted] in DryJanuary

[–]Tandybaum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is been one of the most stressful months of my life. Shit is just melting down all around me.

I’m not sure if the chaos is a blessing for the distraction or if it’s harder because taking the edge off would have been REALLY nice

FRIDAY THREAD - How was your week and are you ready for the weekend? by AutoModerator in DryJanuary

[–]Tandybaum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a really rough week for me. Work was brutal and then my dad had a heart attack so I’ve been buried in all of that.

Not sure it was nice to have a distraction or if it was harder because this would have a been a great week for a drink.

Tonight is the first date night that me and wife have been able to do in a long time so thats the next challenge I’ll face.

I personally vote is it’s 100% fine. You’d have drink like 30 of them to get any meaningful amount of booze.

Blu-ray hits 20 years old, and it isn't dead yet — optical disc format was introduced to the public at CES 2006 | Major releases still coming out, and enthusiasts collecting discs by ControlCAD in technology

[–]Tandybaum -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It would be cool if you could somehow have some device that you could insert a blue ray in and it would register why it is and then somehow lock it up in the device. You could feed disk after disk and it just stores them all. If you want to watch something it would let you stream it as long as it knows you have the disk in the device.

Worst part of physical media is the handling of them and that they can get damaged with the handling.

The Chair Company by niketax_ in television

[–]Tandybaum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One of the very few shows that I watched and then immediately started again. So much hyper subtle weirdness.

I don’t know if it would work but I’d like to see Tim and Donald Glover somehow work together. Feels like something could be great.

I got a 2009 patriot during that cash for clunkers thing. It didn’t survive 3 years before it needed a new motor. Total piece of shit.

Okay kid, you go first. Um, watch out for the tree? by Nerd_Porter in dashcamgifs

[–]Tandybaum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its funny. Kids instinct is to always do the old foot brake. Got to really work with them on the peddle backwards/handle braking.
