nvm. One little pole did the trick

I can't blow up the servo, even though I've totally wrecked it.

One thing we're not short of here in Australia is space. And sunshine. I'm not opposed to nuclear in the mix though. It's pretty incredible. And the South Koreans have done a prett…

The fact that there's an entire country mostly unaware of the utility and ubiquitousness of a simple electric kettle, blows my mind. But then again, I'm a product of the Empire (Br…

And limited run it. So it there are XX orders already, then the youtube video is delisted, so only exists in paper form.

And worse (sometimes) consumed by email scanners. There's all sorts of hassles with them. Email deliverability often an issue too.

I learned I can't play Doom if I can't strafe. I'm a bot!

Not quite the same, but if you've a leaf blower, then making a hovercraft with a couple of pool noodles and a circular piece of plywood is pretty cool (and a lot of fun).

Hiroshi Sakurazaka wrote 'All you need is kill', which became Edge of Tomorrow film. And, while not SciFi, I think Haruki Murakami's books are worth a read and might scratch and it…

Quick bug. As an unauthed user, add a habit. Then log in. Habit has disappeared. (but can create habits, which then sync just fine to other devices) I guess I was expecting my unau…

original creator: https://twitter.com/watawatabou Was always free... now people have gone to town with the source code.

Now they just need to organise effectively. But how do you organise a disparate group whose only common characteristic is that they don't believe in imaginary deities?

Had exactly the same thing in Australia when trying a 000 (Australia's emergency number) call with my Pixel 6 Pro after watching somebody run off the road and smash into a pole. Fo…

A small thing. I made some braised bronze chess pieces. https://photos.app.goo.gl/rN3xkgxybeY7WP9K9 Was really happy with the design, considering I just made it up on the spot. I h…

Although it reads as though it's $1 ea for your first 100 homes you sell, then $995 after that. And actually, probably need to make it $1/home for the first 1000 or so just to get …

Thank you for this. It's almost a perfect template for a site I'm working on. Even had a few 'features' I'd forgotten to include. /s

Now be meta and build GPT with GPT.

In 1997, I had to convert a legacy unix (SCO System V?) application's comms from X.25 to tcp/ip. Had the source code, but it was a weird case of the system you built it on didn't h…

Casino. All on Black. Repeat 3 more times (hoping your luck holds out for each). 16x in under an hour. (or zero most likely... but definitely lowest effort) I don't recommend this …

Pretty awesome. SLA Guarantees is spelt wrong: https://supertokens.com/pricing

I had exactly this. We run a Saas and someone wrote an email saying that our server was down, and when we'd expect it to be up. Not having had a notification, I double checked from…

The value of that deposit would be reflected and transferred.

It was a great way to earn money as a kid in the 70s too. Wander around and find old beer/coke/milk bottles and return them for the deposit.

How about get rid of one cruise ship, and maybe just the Italians stop driving? /j Yeah, Cruise ships are pretty nuts!
