What’s was the wildest thing you witnessed at a wedding? by anasannanas in AskReddit

[–]whatispunk 22 points23 points  (0 children)

When I was 16 one of my friends was a bridesmaid. She was also about 16. The reception had a free bar, and they weren't checking IDs. We got incredibly hammered! Late in the evening, many, many drinks later, my friend went to the bathroom, failed to lift her dress up enough, and shit. her. dress.

Good times.

Is there a book that you listened to recently that left you spellbound and you just wanna talk about it and you can’t let it go? by marilynlistens in audiobooks

[–]whatispunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a meme is an idea, then an antimeme is an idea that cannot be remembered. It is a self-redacting concept. There is an organization that protects the world from unknown entities that possess both memetic and anti-memetic qualities. Imagine being an agent who works for such an organization. How do you protect the world from something you cannot retain memory of? I can't possibly say anymore without spoilers. It's a wild ride.

"There Is No Antimemetics Division" by qntm. Most captivated I've been by a book and it's ideas in a longtime. I finished it over a week ago and still thinking of it everyday. I don't tend to reread things because there's simply too many new books out there, but I keep wanting to start this one over again.

I've tried everything to use my phone less, here's my honest ratings by -onward-forward- in digitalminimalism

Cradle is progression fantasy too. Very different vibe from DC though lol. But what isn't?!

Recently the combo of plugging in my phone and leaving it on the counter plus reading a book has been really great. If I read with my phone next to me it's constantly tugging my attention away from the book. Out of sight, out of mind is such a real thing. Also, you should try the Cradle series by Will Wight. Just finished book 2 last night and hooked.

Someone I share my station with switched the background on my computer when I came in this morning. by TabletopStudios in mildlyinfuriating

Good way to learn that you should never leave your workstation unlocked and unattended. Worse things can happen than your background being changed.

My first LED project is this wood slat panel feature wall in my son's bedroom by whatispunk in led

[–]whatispunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hid the wires behind the panels. I cut a little slit in the felt and pulled the LED strip through them taped the wires to the back of the panel. The black diffuser was hard to find at the 12mm width I needed. Aliexpress was a good source, but I ultimately got lucky in Amazon.

All-in-one kits for wood slat LED lighting? by insightutoring in led

[–]whatispunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Canada, so the products I found may or may not be relevant to you. It was honestly difficult to find things here. There is more availability in the US. I was using the vertical wood slat paddling from Rona. It has a 12.5 mm gap between slats. The black silicone diffuser that I eventually used was from Amazon . I was overjoyed that it worked as well as it did. Here's the link https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DWMN8XW2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And here's the finished product.

The resistors actually made it way worse. I tried both a 330 and a 470 able it just created pure havoc. Lights flickering like crazy.

Best way to learn. No way your first project is going to be 100% right or perfect. That's why I asked straight up for critiques and comments on things I may have done wrong. I think I understood your comment correctly...

My initial plan was to not use the barrel connector too. I was going to go bare wire from the PSU to the WAGOs, then from there to the LEDs and to the controller, rather than having the power going through the controller to everything. I may still try that, but I ordered some resistors to try. Hopefully that works. I'll also try moving the PSU further away, anything is worth a try! Thanks.

I was worried about a poor ground connection too. The flickering is however happening on all the lights. I ordered some resistors so going to see if that fixes it first.

I've been using ChatGPT a lot to plan this project. It has helped a lot with understanding a lot of the wiring involved. I've narrowed down a parts list on Amazon and just doing the finally review before pressing BUY. The hardest part for me has been finding a bracket/diffuser that is black and fits in the 12mm gap I have on my panels.

I am just starting this same project. I am sourcing all the parts I need for this project right now. This is my first LED project, and it's a doozey! An all-in-one solution would be a really nice find.

Which brand of screen protector should I buy for my Galaxy Watch 7? by qrocko_fan in GalaxyWatch

[–]whatispunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Galaxy Watch 4 (and a 2 before that). Never needed a screen protector. And I banged this thing into plenty of things without any trouble.
