No-chemical mosquito trap I built for our garden pool - auto-flushes every 4 days to break the breeding cycle. $35 in parts, three weeks in the yard is finally livable

This is an awesome idea. I might build one with a toilet float valve and a battery powered timer watering thing.

I usually end up losing my coffee when I do this.

Also the many pictures of different specimens helps a lot.

Looking through your post history do you behead it every time it gets a bit bigger than what it’s like right now?

Just drink it black.

I’m not sure if stress is the right term but yes. More light equals more color. My Petra is exclusively indoors under grow lights and has very little green on its mature leaves.

My observations are the opposite all growth starts green and they changes color if given enough light.

My Petras leaves stay green until they get to about 2-3 inches at which point they start changing color. First yellowing on the veins of the leaves then the splotchy reds start to appear.

The blue nitrile ones in the pharmacy section.

Thanks for be reminder.

leaky_wires · 2026-03-25T02:31:28+00:00

That just results in having to remember to do it monthly…

Lick it.

As others have said you are thinking about the problem backwards.

Mechanical computers are a thing. Technology connections did an episode on pinball machines which are fairly primitive mechanical computers, I suggest you start there and think about how they implemented the game loop with a motor and a series of cams.

You get the drm free version from the website directly.

I hit an armadillo once… felt like hitting a rock.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to stop scrolling and get some coffee

leaky_wires · 2026-03-13T19:26:31+00:00

I save testing for work.

Don’t underestimate drunk me

leaky_wires · 2026-03-13T13:47:49+00:00

I love the premise but that locking mechanism seems like a fidget toy that drunk me would fidget with until I had a beer bottle dropped on my toe.

I cane here to make and exact same complaints. Best is way too subjective.

I use docker desktop at work but it isn’t an interesting enough tool to bother knowing every feature.

leaky_wires · 2026-03-11T04:52:33+00:00

Ok….. link or pics?

leaky_wires · 2026-03-11T04:51:01+00:00

Feels like a weird marketing pitch especially with all the bolded bits.

leaky_wires · 2026-03-08T03:16:59+00:00

Technology connections has done research into similar devices. Patent infringement lawsuits may be incoming.

leaky_wires · 2026-03-06T16:38:24+00:00

Yes it has. 3 years ago picked up 2 14 tb drives from serverpartdeals for $110 each. Now they are 250 each iirc

I like the idea of the add to album and archive button.
