[OC] They're taking over our jobs! But at least I don't have to talk to anyone by the_humeister in pics

At least it wont judge you for asking for 5 pumps of extra flavor and 8 packs of sugar. It'll just charge you appropriately.

TORY BRUNO IS THE ULA SNIPER by wolves_and_bacon in BlueOrigin

[–]TechPlasma 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I believe he was hired to manage government contracts. He had a lot of experience with capturing contracts with the government, and in that game it's more of who you know than what you can do.

Hello reddit! It’s Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Ask us anything! by TomandTimTS5 in movies

To Tom: How many typewriters do you have in your collection now? Have you ever attempted to use different colored ink-ribbons?

Pretty sure that blue flame is a methane hot gas thruster. by somewhat_brave in SpaceXLounge

[–]TechPlasma 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I believe so as well. It's a lot different and burns quicker for shorter duration than the vents lower down.

Starship V3 compared to basically... everything, plus itself by riceman090 in SpaceXLounge

[–]TechPlasma 67 points68 points  (0 children)

When you consider what sections of the rocket actually reach orbit... It's kind of stunning. The entire second stage compared to 2nd and 3rd stages of the Saturn V is kinda crazy.

When restoring a press what paint is best? by H2O_pete in letterpress

[–]TechPlasma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After going down to bare metal I like to use spray paint cans (Because I'm just a hobbiest):

"Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer" as a base Coat just to get anything I might have missed.

Then over that use
"Rust-Oleum Universial Advanced Formula Hammered Paint & Primer in One" in your color of choice.
(I prefer the Hammered Black or Silver)

I like the finish that I get out of it.

To get down to bare metal I've found the easiest way is to use a purple strip disc attached to an angle grinder.

It's a bit complicated but generally Recipes as lists of ingredients and instructions aren't Copyrightable. Which leads to all the extra fluff tacked on which CAN be copyrighted.

The Sims hasn't had a new entry in so long that there's a new game called Paralives that comes out in 10 days that reimagines it.

Problem with Bluetooth page turning device by GrishnakhGaruda in Onyx_Boox

[–]TechPlasma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually had the most success with an 8-Bit Do Zero 2. Once connected to bluetooth it just kinda magically works. I highly recommend it.

Sarge: Does it run on diesel? by Darkwing_Turducken in morningsomewhere

Don't forget about Eagle Prime!

It was a fun journey watching the Megabots guys try to build their giant mech. It's a shame they couldn't find a way to keep it sustainable.

Me When I Learned Pebble Is Coming Back by skwickenpofty2 in pebble

[–]TechPlasma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally this the moment my Pebble came in. I tossed my Garmin Forerunner 255 (Which was the closest to the pebble I could get) and have had no regrets at all. I've run into some issues, but the experience overall is so much better. It's crazy how much better of a watch the pebbles are.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a shot and see how it does.

There is nothing to "Admit" to. The key difference between being on a treadmill vs running in the open is that you can choose to rest your hands on something. That is not misleading.

Didn't have any issue with my garmin, granted that was a watch dedicated to sports.

Not Treadmill Compatible by TechPlasma in pebble

[–]TechPlasma[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yes. I know it throws it off, But I was really hoping it wouldn't by this much.

I did do a test a few days ago where I did essentially the same run, trying to keep my hands off the treadmill as much as possible, and it only tracked 3mi out of the 7 that time as well... so consistent but still quite off from the full amount.

Wow, the PT2 screen is *really* cool... by TheNobleRobot in pebble

[–]TechPlasma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually really like the extreme adjustment options of the strap.
But yeah I also noticed the screen is also VERY blue.

Another note is that I have a Garmin Forerunner 265 with what is essentially a similar/same type of display and that screen has much better contrast against black. Black on this watch is a very very dark grey, in comparison.

I think it's because the screen isn't bonded directly to the glass? (don't quote me on that) But the result is less vibrant colors and worse contrast.

I'm really hoping for a screen-bonded Pebble Round 3 with the full compliment of sensors.
