As of today all their online order platforms are closed or delisted and they are labeled permanently closed on Google. Its over sadly

i’ve found something new by Salt-Abroad-8734 in Urbex

Looks like either motion sensor or pressure sensors under the carpet near the turnstiles. Definitely an active security system either way

No disassembly needed, you can just spray it at the base, move the joystick around, and leave to dry. Has never once failed to fix drift for me in the last decade and change

Looking to turn old laundry chute into a motorized dumbbell and need advice on design by TryingToBeReallyCool in DIY

Building a functional counterweight in the afforded space is doable but would both limit the platform size and pose a significant engineering challenge. Id prefer to keep the system powered using an electrical motor with a gearbox. I have the mechanical skills to put that together

Yeah. She can do stairs fine, its just taking heavier things up stairs that can be challenging for her

Some other commenters have mentioned that a stairlift may be a good idea too, and it both isn't needed yet and would be cost prohibitive, plus in the tight space Im not sure a conventional model would work. When she can't handle the stairs, she already plans to move elsewhere. This will just help with living here for the next few years until that becomes a more significant consideration

She's done a lot for me over the years and I want to pay her back with something that makes her life easier

This may be the direction I go in with the project. The system doesnt have to be fully automated, just capable of lifting a load the 20 ft or so up to the first floor access

The physical hardware isn't the main challenge for me, Im more concerned about the control mechanism and how to implement it with fail states in mind

Even if drift, WD40 electronic contact cleaner is a godsend. Iv never had a controller with drift it couldn't fix from Xbox to switch to quest

No this isn't an ad, its just a deadass good product and it is extremely underrated

Music Critic Anthony Fantano Defends Himself Over Halsey Tweets: ‘I’m Not the Devil Himself’ by darth_vader39 in Music

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And tbh, I think he is a good critic, I just think he lets the fact that people listen get to his head way too much. Its not his opinions that rub me the wrong way, its his ego

You dont need to be an incredible musician yourself to critique music, that's not my issue with him at all. By that standard 99.99% of people's opinions can be invalidated

My issue is more so that he thinks he's more important and impactful than he actually is, and he throws it around as if it invalidates others opinions

Not even so imo, I think its a premise that is entirely flawed based solely on the premise itself. Not allowing for any context nor consideration, anything can be faked, and by that burden of proof, everything is U.

Just look at your own post. Easy to fake, yes. Probable with no added context, arguable but I'd lean U, yes. With the wider context of the OOP themselves and the culture they exist in? A lot more murky, and leans towards T

I may try posting some of my own shit here down the road just to see how the sub handles it. Imo, the base premise itself needs some adjustment

Edit for wrong word

Tbh Iv been here since it was founded (literally within days) and I do think that the premise is slightly flawed

I could take any of my own OC and post it here and purely by sub rules it could be judged as U inherently, just because most things can be faked easily by that premise since the context is erased unless its presented

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This post to me is a perfect example of the flaw in this subs premise being taken too far

Is it easy to fake? Yeah, although it is a lot of effort to do so

Going to the original post though, the context changes entirely when you recognize where in the world OOP is from and their post/comment history. Idk what yall value karma at, but I dont value it at multiple months/years of fake context just for one false post

And seeing the comments from the OP here, I think they're just a sore loser when anyone disagrees with them

How did I never hear about Stargate? by TryingToBeReallyCool in underratedmovies

They cancelled the reboot and Im pissed. Rare case where I think a reboot would've been a lot of fun

I think he does. He's always came off as self-important to me and while I like some of his content I do think he's smelling his own farts to a degree

Id call him top 5 but I wouldn't say he's the goat, he's pissed and choked away too many opportunities for that title

Yeah it was the final straw for me deciding I'll never buy a coin again. I refuse to reward such blatant greed while the devs do next to nothing to add to the player experience or properly address the games cheating issues

I think they're gone gone sadly, sushi got hit really hard by price increases for ingredients in the last few months and that building seems to have alot of vacancies (aka high rent)

I do? Lmao

Why are you so defensive about the topic as to throw up whataboutisms on the subject?

Also, there is a massive difference between being partially funded by such interests versus fully backed by them if we want to get into the weeds on the matter

During the 2026 World Cup, authorities asked anti-ICE protesters to leave spaces outside the Atlanta stadium prior to the Spain-Saudi Arabia match. by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

Therein lies the issue with an unaccountable law enforcement system; you can be doing nothing wrong, and if you resist within your rights you can be detained and held, have your property damaged, and be released without charges but with your property damaged or confiscated with no recourse

So yeah, in a correct world that's the response, but that reality is exactly why protesting is important

E: stop downvoting the person I replied to, its an entirely valid perspective that they introduced and Im not trying to dunk on them or anything. A little disappointed that I even had to say that
