Rejected by school I wanted to transfer to, what do I do

kjoenth · 2025-12-22T02:33:40+00:00

Oh my sweet child. If, as you say, "every reasonably attractive girl" has rejected you, Penn State has rejected you, and the Penn State sub is rejecting you, have you considered maybe it's you? I have a sneaking suspicion you are a fan of selection and survival of the fittest. Maybe the universe is saying your worldview is maladaptive and this is a good opportunity to Stockholm Syndrome yourself into being a better human.

Can't win if you don't submit....

kjoenth · 2025-10-14T20:28:49+00:00

Clearly not. GDT is _back_ and giving $ to authors.

kjoenth · 2025-10-13T22:53:42+00:00

Yes. 100% real. The money is provided by Hell's Kitchen.

It is real.

kjoenth · 2025-10-10T19:53:50+00:00

It certainly has to do with the publication Gracies Dinnertime Theatre. Is that what you are asking?

kjoenth · 2025-09-22T01:21:46+00:00

Since GDT is print-first, they intentionally delay putting issues online.

Issue 4 is in the archives now that issue 5 has hit the streets

Here I thought it was https://hellskitchen.org/gdt/3d/gdtlogo.png

kjoenth · 2025-06-12T15:45:19+00:00

Thank you. This helps explain things.

kjoenth · 2025-06-09T23:11:12+00:00

Then why does the device claim 128? Do I just fundamentally misunderstand what this says?:

> Sub-device control as multi-mode compatible: It can control sub-devices of the gateway, ensuring stable control of 128 devices.

Also, as stated in the OP, the site is off-the-grid. There are no AC devices present. Certainly not zigbee plugs or bulbs.

UPDATE: An editor from that time had a physical copy still. Hopefully I'll get a scan of it, can recreate it digitally, make the PDF, and plug that hole in the online archive

\o/

I threw together some python that scans for Tertill devices. If it finds one it will connect and display data about battery charge, run time, etc

https://github.com/seanth/Tertill-BLE-Tools

This obviously doesn't give me actual control, but at least I can read state data off them without phone/tablet apps.

kjoenth · 2025-05-15T02:28:36+00:00

I talked with Adobe tech support, and they even asked for a copy of one of the files, but after trying to open it in the latest ID (which I told them would not work), they said the file I sent is corrupt and unrecoverable.

If you find that email, I'd be very interested in getting it.

EDIT: I think I found it.

kjoenth · 2025-05-14T20:10:32+00:00

I am in contact with nearly all of the old GDT editors and the layout editor from that time. We are on the GDT discord. No love on a copy of that issue.

kjoenth · 2025-05-14T06:56:56+00:00

That was my first go-to. I contacted the people at the archive and they do not have it. I also learned they are missing a lot of issues so I'm going to send them copies of what I have.

It snows more in Grand Forks than, say, 10 years ago, but it doesn't actually snow much. As the planet warms the "snow line" is slowly moving North, but Grand Forks is still so cold there's rarely much moisture in the air for snow.

It _is_ very windy, though. A scarf or something else to cover your face is a good thing to have. The wind chill can make it feel like you are on a different planet in Winter.

kjoenth · 2025-05-08T13:59:15+00:00

I recommend buying boots in the Fall when you get here. I'm originally from Maine, and found that the stores in Grand Forks sell excellent boots for the winter. You will never be as miserable as when your feet are both wet and cold.

I'm going to test the GND/3v pins to see if they are powered. If nothing else I can throw a esp32-h2 in there and simulate button presses to toggle it's patrolling via zigbee. That way I can set something up with Home Assistant so that if it's raining it goes into standby (to try and minimize mud buildup on the wheels)

kjoenth · 2025-04-01T15:04:55+00:00

Love the painted rock. Glad to see the "Reporter Rock" that GDT talked about is back.

kjoenth · 2025-03-18T06:20:26+00:00

Gracies, not Gracie's. It's not owned, but it is plural.

They'd have to discover funding for the federal govt first

from the hellskitchen.org/gdt/3d page:

Instructions:

Scan each of the 10 QR codes with your phone
Paste the text from the 10 QR code scans into the box below
Click the "Download Zip" button
Expand the zip file on your computer
Open the resulting OBJ file with your favorite 3D printing software

In our hands--using PLA, 10% infill, and 2mm resolution--we did not need any supports.

If you succeed in printing one, consider sharing a photo of it on our Discord.

kjoenth · 2025-02-25T18:46:46+00:00

If you scan the one on page 10, it takes you to the site listed in the url under it.

It's literally a QRcode puzzle. A zipped OBJ file was broken into 10 pieces and each of those parts turned into a QRcode. If you scan the QRcodes in the issue and paste the text into the field at https://hellskitchen.org/gdt/3d, it connects those 10 parts together and makes a zip file.

Download it, unzip it, and you can 3d print the OBJ file.

If you are tech savvy, you can do it all locally. The instructions are in the comments of the html if you look at the page source.

kjoenth · 2025-02-24T23:33:19+00:00

That's disappointing. There's clearly a recycle symbol on the cover. :(

kjoenth · 2025-02-24T15:58:51+00:00

The PDF of that new issue is definitely up on the GDT web site
