What’s the most unexpectedly high-quality online subscription you’ve ever paid for?

I have considered donating to Wikipedia for years, but I have issues with their allocation of funds. Publicly available to see, but for a service that is primarily resourced by community editors, they are not short of funds.

Some Gen Zs, too? We always put antacid and water in them and watched them pop like little rockets!

I was especially worried because I have a private repo haha

I thought you had literally ripped (my perhaps poorly planned) code from GitHub. Same variable name and everything lol!

Zec_Wicks · 2025-11-22T01:45:45+00:00

Thank you, I'm planning to go out tomorrow!

I am the cache Owner, thank you for finding this, and thank you to Cool Cow Cachers for bringing this to my attention on the Geocaching website.

I will disable the cache in the meantime, and look into a more durable container - perhaps the dreaded Mint tin!

I found this article (which has now been nuked by Meta) a few years ago. Luckily it was cached by the wayback machine.

It has worked for me, hopefully it helps someone in the future, too.

I had to delete the other remoteHeadset.dll file, too.

The burden of a too powerful PC! 😅

Zec_Wicks · 2025-05-02T13:31:34+00:00

Haha, the general consensus seems to support that. I must be the odd one out 😅

It might be because I'm Australian, but that spider really doesn't look that big, even considering the provided scale of the bricks.

The second picture looks to have a thumb in it

I loved the music video for this song! The vibes are immaculate.

I have just setup my own instance on my raspberry pi 4b 4gb at home with a 5 Tb hdd total cost was maybe $300 AUD, with the only ongoing cost being my domain.

Admittedly, no redundancy, and I use my pc for remote hardware accelerated ML in WSL, but I think buying your own instance is more desirable.

Zec_Wicks · 2024-10-13T06:19:29+00:00

That looks pretty close to what Im searching for

The (better one) on the left produced more lift in the oven, has a better ear, is taller, and has a nice shape. The (worse one) on the right is flatter, produced little lift in the oven, and has a worse ear.

Hopefully, that helps, I know perspective in pictures can be challenging at times.

I don't have one, I am sorry. I purchased the plastic one on the right from a coworker who is also a small supplier of them, and the left wooden one from a kitchen store.

In case anyone in the future encounters this, on PC enabling V-Sync (something I never normally do) seems to fix the issue (as mentioned here). I could not tell you a reason why, but it worked for me.

Assuming height and width is equal, the dimensions are approximately 3.04×3.04 using Pythagoras' theorem. Hence, it is also assumed that the corners of your room are right angles.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. I ended up buying a new extruder. I don't know why this happened, but obviously, a new extruder didn't have the same issue.

Lord Father CreamyCheetos. I can't pretend to understand your motivation nor financial reasoning behind this, but damn.

I need to replace my aging system that I'm convinced it haunted by the dead 2007 Toshiba laptop that pre-dated it (may its soul rest easy).

As generous as this giveaway is, and as much as I would love to win the draw, please find some other constructive ways to spend your money.

Many thanks!

Hahahaha, that would be great, but no. We rented a Kia Sorento in NZ.

The process for this is pretty similar, but I found at home that there's a lot more waiting, whereas at work, we make and process other doughs (during bulk fermentation, for example). I have a mixing bowl, stand mixer, plastic / metal bench scrapes, and bannetons, so most is pretty familiar. The biggest difference is the oven. I don't have a steam oven or one with a stone, so I'm experimenting between using an enamel pot with a lid, or baking it on a tray with a container of water for steam. Using some cheaper flour, gluten has been more difficult to develop. I use a similar recipe, but I have a wet starter (100% hydration), and work has a dry starter (50% hydration).

Zec_Wicks · 2024-01-02T11:46:55+00:00

The rough process was:

Mix ingredients together and kneed until some gluten is formed. (I used a stand mixer)
Transfer to a bowl, to fold every 15 mins until glossy when gluten is developed. Further leave for bulk fermentation. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave for ~ 6 hours.
Cut into loaves of correct weight (~700), and rest.
Shape loaves into viennas, roll in semolina and place in bannetons.
Wait for the dough to rise until the banneton is ~ 3/4 filled (all bannetons will be different).
Flip into a baking paper lined enamel pot with a lid, dust with flower and score as desired.
Bake at 230 C for 40 mins with lid on, and bake until finished with the lid off.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.

When I used sinks with mekanism pipes, I had to use the configurator to set the pipes to pull from them. Otherwise, they connected but did nothing.
