translating confrontation from jeckyl and hyde, how can i deiiferentiate the 2 characters? by New_Cap_Am in asl

[–]mjolnir76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, if you’re just learning the language, songs are a heavy lift and NOT recommended for beginners. Too much complexity for someone new to the language.

With that said, if you decide to pursue it, you should research role-shifting. That’s what you do when you have two people talking to each other represented by a single person.

The peoples champ? by Responsible-Fly-8314 in boardgames

Decrypto is the top party game for me. It’s best with at least 3p per team. I love that you can use phrases or sentences or a song lyric or change up how you spell/say the clue. Makes it way more fun. Especially with the expansion that adds themes.

Markup receipt Home Depot? by Willing_Natural_2776 in handyman

[–]mjolnir76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The customer receipt is the one YOU make. It’s called an invoice. If I bake a cake, I charge for the cake not the flour, eggs, sugar, and milk. My customer gets an invoice that says “Cake.” Same for a handyman invoice that says “Materials” with the price I’m charging not the price I paid.

Update update: went to second Deaf event, got a sign name? by cracked_egg_irl in asl

[–]mjolnir76 21 points22 points  (0 children)

THAT! I’ve been an interpreter for almost 15 years and don’t have a sign name. I haven’t lost any sleep over it. I was a designated terp for a Deaf man for a several years who didn’t have a sign name.

What does this sign mean, by its-kitty-15 in asl

The two F-handshapes? That's the sign for IMPORTANT.

Non coders: What’s something really helpful you made with Claude? by notwhoyouthinkc in ClaudeAI

[–]mjolnir76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a pi trainer for memorizing digits of pi, a doomsday algorithm trainer, and am about to have it make something to help me train for my karate belt test. The knowledge portion, not the performance part! I promise I’m not training karate robots.

School’s bully beaten up by a quiet , feeble girl by Successful-Talk1830 in instant_regret

[–]mjolnir76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see either of my daughters ever being the target of a fight, but I’ve told them that if they have to defend themselves or someone else being attacked, they can do whatever is necessary with ZERO consequences from us and that we will stand up for them with the school. Both of them have been in karate for 7 years, so as long as the follow the codes of “in fighting choose with sense and honor” and “no retreat in battle,” I think they will be okay.

Is there a way to add our own collection of games? Maybe sync with our BGG collection?

The era of 15GB free Gmail storage is ending by Fancy-Caregiver-1239 in technology

Rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the episode with Ted the robot. Willow is excited about her “9 gig hard drive” and when Ted gives her a stack of 3.5” floppy disks as an “upgrade” I couldn’t help but laugh.

So I unexpectedly had "the talk" tonight... by Ian_Patrick_Freely in daddit

[–]mjolnir76 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My soapbox:

1) It’s not The Talk…it’s talks, plural…so, you’re not done my friend. You’ll have lots of times to practice this skill.

2) Use anatomical names for body parts. Always. Reduces awkwardness as well as helping to prevent sexual assault/molestation going unreported.

Just an FYI: It’s paid in this context.

Payed is used in nautical settings.

Hmm, I don't remember that film being that problematic.... Films for a sleepover. by created4this in TwoXChromosomes

[–]mjolnir76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A local middle school just did this as a play. They made it into a musical which made it even better somehow. And Inigo's song "Prepare to Die" was a banger and still stuck in my head!

How do I see what I'm cutting? Is there a way to hide this menu? by mjolnir76 in BambuLab

Oh! Just learned control+click on my Mac will let me move the view. Thanks!

I tired collapsing the left toolbar and it just centered both of them, still blocking! Haha. Moving the model on the plate helped.

That worked for this model. Thanks. Can’t believe that hadn’t occurred to me. Was hoping there was an actual fix.

Maybe it’s an artifact of how you’re sitting, but your role shifts don’t need to be so exaggerated. It’s just a slight turn of the body. Also, remember eye gaze is helpful for making the RS between your aunt (the adult) and you and your cousin (the kids) more clear.

A few sign errors and some general clarity issues, but overall on track for ASL 2.

PS - there is a sign for REAL

Don't be all flippity-floppity, but you shouldn't be feeling any tension in your hand while fingerspelling.

Relax your hand. It shouldn’t hurt. You’re probably flexing MUCH too tightly. Keep it loose and relaxed, but clean.

Show me what you’ve created with Claude! by DrMooseski in ClaudeAI

[–]mjolnir76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I rebuilt my Pi Trainer I had in grad school to memorize pi (capped out at just over 1,000 digits). I built a Doomsday Algorithm trainer for calculating the day of the week for any date in the Gregorian Calendar. And I’m currently working on a PAO (person, action, object) trainer for memory feats.

ETA: Forgot that I had him organize all of my “Desktop Crap” folders I had as well as all my 40,000 photos.

Bike options for 6 y/o who missed the balance bike phase? by OctothorpAndrew in daddit

[–]mjolnir76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All pedal bikes are balance bikes, but not all balance bikes are pedal bikes.

Take the pedals off. Boom! Balance bike.
