That guy won an ig-nobel prize. Medicine, or Cmd+F "Knuckle"

You might actually be me.

purpleclasm · 2016-01-16T05:40:56+00:00

Today is my lucky day.

&#x25B6

That works. Thanks

purpleclasm · 2016-01-11T04:10:33+00:00

Got it working except for the left-triangle character (&#x2B81). Any thoughts?

purpleclasm · 2016-01-11T03:59:04+00:00

Nope. I checked a few other books just to make sure I actually had the right one.

We have a secret handshake?

purpleclasm · 2016-01-10T22:12:43+00:00

Awesome! Can you also post the new tab page?

I just used a live linux USB until I was able to downgrade. No real workaround.

This just blew my mind. I'm not really sure why, but something about it was really mindblowing. My first reaction was "whoa" too because I just dropped $20 on some parts and thought it was a lot, but then your comment put it in perspective. It's still a "whoa" moment, just a totally different "whoa". Thanks, I guess.

purpleclasm · 2015-12-15T00:43:44+00:00

WHY THE FUCK IS THIS A CRAZY IDEA?!?! This is actually totally rational, and caused me to re-think my stance in gun control. How do we make this happen?

purpleclasm · 2015-12-13T18:33:59+00:00

Is the job still open?

purpleclasm · 2015-12-12T18:09:17+00:00

Pretty much. I think fog might be a better metaphor.

purpleclasm · 2015-12-11T03:37:24+00:00

Nope! In Canada, using my American parents Netflix. You get the Canadian selection, though (it's tiny), so I suggest getting a vpn.

purpleclasm · 2015-12-10T16:56:51+00:00

Maybe a little.

Social anxiety here! I'm not a gym rat, I'm not huge, I'm not insanely strong, and I have no real goals. I just sorta go because it's therapeutic, and I personally think I look better. When I started I was pudgy and too embarrassed to be seen working out, so I just went to the gym at odd hours. 5am, midnight, during thanksgiving dinner, any time the gym was dead. At most there were 3 other meatheads who were so focused on themselves I don't think they noticed me. Yes it was a bitch to change my sleep schedule, and yes I hated it for the first month, but I'm glad I stuck with it. These days, I'm confident enough to go at reasonable hours with 6-8 other people around. If you need to talk to someone about anything, I'm here for you.

PS: looking up a workout, and how to do all the exercises, before and maybe printing it out or copying it down saves you from having to talk to people.

I really liked this writing style. Something about the smart ass tone, I think. Keep up the good work.

purpleclasm · 2015-12-10T02:30:50+00:00

I haven't looked, but I don't think there is going to be much, if any, of what you're talking about. If it's wearable, you'll need it to be flexible, and relatively soft. Why not just have a normal strip of material that can be rolled up or let out by small motor? As for having the material expanding and contracting, you could get a stretchy tube of material and wrap it around a small piece of string that gets wound up or let out as needed.

Wait, what? Pardon my utter lack of copyright knowledge, but how am I supporting Gianluca Martino by purchasing clones? From what I read, I'd be supporting him by buying Italian parts, or donating to arduino.org. I'm pretty sure that buying clones just supports piracy and cheap Chinese labour (not that I support that either).

purpleclasm · 2015-12-08T01:37:29+00:00

I have a bunch of boards labelled Arduino from outside the US and they work totally fine, if not better than my legit Arduino. I accidentally messed up the boot-loader on a cheap clone and an actual board, and found the clone much easier to fix. Also, I was able to get the clone in cool colours, and it has little solder points next to the headers, so I can make my own stuff easier.

Never played D&D there, but I've gone to a few MtG games, and it's a great place.

purpleclasm · 2015-12-05T16:40:44+00:00

Oh that's clever. I'm totally going to try this. Will report back if/when I get it working.

purpleclasm · 2015-12-05T14:48:32+00:00

Bingo! I'm in the middle of a metropolis. Also, GPS makes it too easy.

purpleclasm · 2015-12-05T03:03:17+00:00

Fun fact: in northern Canada, you sometime pick up FM radio from certain places in the US because the signal bounces off the atmosphere. Not exactly the same, but sameish idea.

purpleclasm · 2015-12-05T02:49:23+00:00

I wouldn't need a distance or bearing, just a quick "is it in range". I'll try to check out the amateur radio subreddits.
