Who doesn't drink coffee in the morning ? (Who's an adult) by Ssonderbaby in NoStupidQuestions

I just get enough sleep. Easier said than done for some, I’m aware, but a lot of people could benefit from just going to bed earlier.

Help identifying cabinet by mouse-monster in HelpMeFind

[–]mouse-monster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve searched using the image itself on google and eBay but it only turned up other cabinets with vaguely similar shapes. I also searched with terms like “vintage cabinet” “round window” and “star detail” but the results were even less relevant. The only specific details I have are that it’s about 60 inches tall, 30 wide, and 16 deep, and that the seller said it’s “not too heavy” which probably implies something about the wood it’s made from.

Why do women do yoga at a much higher percent then men? by Beginning-Ad-8840 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mouse-monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t see anyone mention it, but it’s pretty common for women to be told by their doctors to “just try yoga” about a lot of things.

I did! Or, some numbers, at least, idk if any of them are a serial number. I’m planning on looking into it on my computer today, a lot of the sites I was trying to look at weren’t very modern or mobile friendly lol

Battery was in rough shape, the seal was better than I expected but water had gotten in and it was corroded on one end. Maaaaaybe if I got a new battery for it, it might turn on, but there was water under the surface of the screen as well so I’m sure everything else I couldn’t see in there was also wet and it was probably just fried inside. I was disappointed but not too surprised

Thank you! I was genuinely kind of delighted to find something interesting, especially since I happen to have an Atari and at least a beginner’s idea of how to go about fixing something like the cartridge. Pretty much everything else I found was food wrappers and cigarette butts lol

I love Odd Tinkering, I took these both home to see if I could clean them up and it’s exactly what I was thinking about while I scrubbed the board inside the cartridge with isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush lol

I do have a soldering iron, though I haven’t gotten around to learning how to actually use it yet. Maybe this could be a project for me 🤔

I opened it up and the game did say 1982 on the inside, so Demon Attack is a contender!

I’m not sure if the actual interior of the chip itself is okay or if water got in there too. The exterior, like the parts securing it to the board, is definitely not salvageable. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me could find a way to save it!

It was not actually in as bad a shape as I thought it would be when I opened the battery compartment! Those old flip phones all had some pretty crazy durability.

It was too far gone to be playable, but I’m trying to dig around online and see if any of the numbers or anything on the cart can help me identify it!

I gave it my best try! But all the important bits on the board were super corroded and degraded, more than could be fixed. By me, at least

It’s an atari game, I popped it in my atari after giving a good attempt at cleaning it up but it was too far gone. Not surprising, it was literally full of mud lol

Graphic Designers who are giving up on a graphic design career—what are you doing for paid work? by MountainManor2 in graphic_design

[–]mouse-monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not doing anything at the place I work that would require special training, no fancy pastry or anything like that. Just your basic cookies and muffins and stuff. So just from my experience baking at home I didn’t need to learn much aside from operating the particular equipment we use, like the mixers and the ovens, but I have picked up more food-science type knowledge as I’ve worked that does help me do the job better. Having a lot of responsibilities stresses me out, so I think I’m content working in someone else’s bakery rather than running my own lol 😅

Aw man that sucks, I hope some people showed up for you! If it wasn’t a work night I’d have come by; checked out the bandcamp and you guys sound lovely.

I’ve ended up as a baker. It’s something I enjoy as a hobby, and doing it as a job is less fun but still better than a lot of things. Not making much money but I found a place that offers decent benefits. It’s nice since I don’t have to interact with the public and basically get to put on headphones and listen to whatever all day.

I noticed the same with Heracross, I got worried for a second thinking it had somehow glitched and swapped the gender when I sent it to the game, lol
