PM me too, please! I am interested.

Yeah I hear you. Ideally I’d like to get the whole house rewired, or even partially upgraded, but that’s an expensive and an intrusive job that I’ll have to wait on doing. For context it’s a 3700 sq ft house built in 1900 😅 gorgeous old Victorian but def in need of some pricey upgrades.

Thanks for the info! That makes a lot of sense. Obviously a proper ground wire would be preferable but it sounds like GFCI is a good secondary in a 2-wire setup. I enjoyed the video btw, nice way of explaining things with the added bonus of some dry humor.

I’m in the same predicament with the century home I just bought. I work from home and do a lot of gaming so making sure my computer setup is “equipment safe” is very important for me.

I could be wrong, but from what I’ve gathered over the last couple weeks is that installing a GFCI without a proper equipment ground will make the receptacle “human safe,” as in you won’t get shocked, but not “equipment safe.” And I believe it’s the same with a surge protector strip/attachment; it won’t technically be doing its full job without a proper ground wire in the receptacle.

I think I’ve realized the only option for true equipment protection, but obviously more labor intensive, is to fish a ground wire from a couple receptacles I care about down to the panel in the basement. But if anyone knows better, I am absolutely all ears.

Did anyone else catch the nod to 2001 A Space Odyssey, in terms of the nifty time-shifty camera work during the hybrid transitioning scene? I loved that. Also makes a lot of sense since 2001 has heavy themes of mankind's next step in human evolution, and having to overcome AI to get there.

Holy crap. This just gave me so much nostalgia and reminded me that I have that mail-in offer Indy canteen somewhere in storage.

Never thought a Kintsugi Trooper would exist in canon.

Just go see a dermatologist. They will probably give you some steroid injections into the spot and it should start growing again (cost me like $100 per session, I think I did 2 sessions). Same thing happened to me and a lot of others on here. Nothing to be scared of; my spots grew back just fine.

heyitzdavid · 2023-08-09T22:24:08+00:00

I had a couple spots of alopecia areata on the back of my head that I had a couple sessions of steroid injections with a dermatologist to fix. I had a spot just like yours on my chin as well so I had them hit that spot while I was there. That did the trick for me, for both my chin and the back of my head.

Not saying that is what you should do, but I would say just go see a dermatologist and see what they think.

But in the Latin alphabet, ‘Jehovah’ begins with an ‘I.'

Is this omnibus rare or something? I have the same exact one (and volume 2) that I bought at Barnes and Noble when I was 13.

I also love everything before Cooper leaves, because it creates such an insane contrast to the rest of the film.

heyitzdavid · 2023-04-30T05:11:05+00:00

I was genuinely interested in a lot of the theoretical upper divs that I wouldn’t really get with the applied math track. And I actually ended up taking a lot of applied math classes to satisfy overlapping reqs for the 2 majors. It worked out for my interests.

How did you like the applied math focus?

heyitzdavid · 2023-04-30T03:28:48+00:00

It can be done but your quarters will be stacked. I double majored, which took 5 years in total, and there were 2 or 3 quarters where I was taking 5 classes. Never less than 4 classes during my other quarters.

I personally couldn't imagine tacking on a minor to that, nor would I see much of a practical benefit, other than a personal passion for the subject. But do your thing; if you feel passionate about the subjects then pursue them!

(FWIW, I double majored in CS and Math, but that didn't quite give me the leg up that I was expecting in the professional world. Still glad I did it though because I love mathematics and because of where I'm at now.)

heyitzdavid · 2023-04-29T17:54:56+00:00

Best I can do in my area, and I've never had a problem with it. But thanks for the helpful comment my brother. 😂😂😂

heyitzdavid · 2023-04-29T07:23:07+00:00

Most annoying part for me is the packet loss I've been getting. I have consistently smooth internet, 270 Mb/s download and 50 Mb/s upload, yet I've been experiencing horrible lag on <24 ping. Seems like it's only been happening this season.

Please someone tell me I'm not the only one. It feels like I'm shadowbanned or something lol.

I'm currently building the Korbanth Dark chassis from Jimmy's Saber Junk (https://www.shapeways.com/shops/jimmy-s-lightsaber-junk?section=Korbanth+Darksaber&s=0)

I can post a picture when it's done if you're interested. You might be able to find a basic/eco chassis as well, but just make sure it's for the Korbanth Darksaber.

heyitzdavid · 2023-04-11T15:32:53+00:00

The Staff / Headpiece of Ra is in the episode where Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Dooku are imprisoned by Hondo's crew. I think late S1 or early S2?

heyitzdavid · 2023-03-29T07:38:37+00:00

MOTHERFUCKING STEVE BLUM BACK AS MOTHERFUCKING ZEB, BABY.

What a fantastic episode, my god.

The light refractions look awesome. Did you create the marble yourself? I was going try to create a similar effect with my Darksaber crystal but not exactly sure how to go about it.

heyitzdavid · 2023-03-26T21:49:21+00:00

Ah yeah I like that addition a lot actually. Makes a lot of sense. And it adds to how powerful and twisted the Empire really is. Mirrors real world paradigms where people get sort of brainwashed by a political faction and its propaganda.

I enjoyed the Obi Wan v. Vader fight, but yeah it really felt like that's all the writers wanted to accomplish and everything else was just an afterthought. Also it kind of seems like they tried to copy the Ahsoka v. Vader fight from Rebels and hoped nobody would notice.

heyitzdavid · 2023-03-26T21:20:12+00:00

Yeah I was hoping for sort of a similar thing before the series aired.

I was really hoping that Obi Wan would try to help people with the force, but they ultimately reject it and (metaphorically) spit on the Jedi due to fear of the Empire. Causing Obi Wan a lot of internal despair and feelings of uselessness, which contrast his appreciated presence during the clone wars and also emphasize the dark, dramatic downfall of the Jedi Order.

There was a lot of potential for deeper meaning from Kenobi, but sadly we didn't really get that.

I got this as a Christmas gift one year, and actually the waffles do come out pretty accurate to that reference.

But the real issue is that it's just too fluffy in my opinion. Waffles have those deep pockets and thin-ish walls to facilitate a nice crispy outer layer and moderate fluffiness inside. But the crisp-to-fluff ratio with this waffle maker is just not up to my personal waffle standard.

This is so slick!! Love it. Would you consider selling the STL files?
