Same here! Controls engineer with software background and BA in ChemE, just in the misguided company part of the growth spectrum, 3 years in.. Etc description all matches.

At a fork here though deciding whether I move to a bigger company (PENA) as a Sr or start my contracting life.

Too early to go mobile? How was the travel, I'm being offered lucrative contracts for 5-6 months at a time, but away from my partner. Talking with them and still thinking it over, but if you have any insight I would appreciate it. :)

Eh nothing interesting. The water would be in the bucket but pool and bead much quicker, instead of spreading and getting the bucket 'wet'. Kind of like a hydrophobic windshield coating.

I know, right? Let me help you out with that.

A ton is 907 kg approximately, and the weight of a cup of blueberries, while varying, is around 148 g or 0.148 kg.

That means the above recipe calls for around 6128 cups of blueberries. And at 3.6 g per cup of blueberries that's ~22000 g of fiber or 628 times your recommended daily intake for men, or 880 for women!

Super interesting, looking at this however has made me realize how little I know about any countries geography other than my own, time to brush up :)

Currently only have experience with a cheap Shark steam mop that pulls double duty for walls, but the capabilities are impressive!

We're looking for something more versatile, nooks and crannies are difficult, and the steam mop can't be lifted past a certain point or gravity becomes a problem.

Any recommendations for something more professional and long term? Thank you ahead of time <3

I've been searching for a solution to this exact problem. My partner sends links occasionally and I always ignore because of how the web interface is blatantly hostile. Tried routing the links through MPV on android but no dice.

If anyone has a solution please share.

Thank you for the tip! I'll shoot them the link since they do own.

What's up with this tree? (sh.itjust.works)

My friends had me over and this poor tree looked to have fluid coming out of a very old wound. They say it was like that long before they arrived, is there anything they can do for the tree? Hate to think its been like this for years :(

Just wanted to share something I did, still very amateur when it comes to bash, but I wrote a script to disconnect bluetooth controllers after I close my emulator. I'm sure there are better ways to do it, but this is my way of coping having lost DS4Windows PS+Options quick disconnect-

#!/bin/bash

# Run Retroarch flatpak run org.libretro.RetroArch

# Disconnect Controller after Quitting bluetoothctl disconnect 40:1B:5F:C9:94:2C

Just wanted to share as either my search games is weak, or there really isn't anything out there this straightforward.

Next up, trying to set up antimicrox to enable the same feature... :)

Fear not, yuzu may be gone but there are always alternatives. Plus like YouTube Vanced, the yuzu latest build is likely to continue to work for the foreseeable future.

For a thriving alternative, check out Ryujinx, and keep an eye out for Yuzu mainline getting picked up by another team with a slightly higher barrier to entry.

The neat thing about open source software is they are really hard to kill unless interest burns out, but considering how hard yuzu has been hitting headlines I think the Streisand effect will take it course.

It's important to note that when you buy liquid detergent (or liquid anything in most cases) you're paying for both product and water. In most cases buying powder instead can lead to a lower 'cost per load'. At Costco I have to admit the difference is only ~$0.01-$0.02 per load, so it equates to $8 over a few months anyway.

That small value delta could ostensibly be argued as convenience fee but I still order powder on principal.

Man you guys think this is bad? My partner bought a Cricut because they thought it would be good for quilting (fancy vinyl cutter) and its a locked down nightmare.

Proprietary software with no alternative, cloud upload required to print anything, even over USB connection... Oh and repair-ability, total nightmare with very little access to replacement parts, with Cricut regularly bricking older models as they reach EoL.

Sorry rant over lol

Upgraded my ram, CPU was still a ways out but I maxed the speed anyway.

System kept locking up during games, couldn’t pin down why, ended up destroying the graphics drivers trying to fix it and eventually got frustrated enough to start fresh.

Turns out I exceeded the max ram speed my CPU supported (was running 3600hz on a Ryzen 2600…) Switched it back and everything went back to normal.

May have accidentally sent my earbuds through a wash cycle, pretty gnarly corrosion on the right bud and the main charge controller. My first water damage! Is this worth doing anything with or shall I move to another used pair of buds? For reference I picked these up secondhand for $50 :)

Sorry for the unwarranted input but like you I tried FlorisBoard and it was awful and to me seems like a dead project. Since then I went with a fork of OpenBoard and it even has gesture typing similar to that of Gboard! If that's important to you of course

Started learning Linux with Manjaro a few years ago, but there were always stability issues pushing me away from daily driving. I found when I did have time to use my PC, it was largely for gaming, and when any issue presented and needed to be fixed it was a bit of a barrier to entry.

Because of biases I always leaned to Arch for that 'bleeding edge' and rolling updates, so when I gave Linux another shot long term a few months ago I went with EndeavourOS. Everything was rock solid but I found a lot of nitpicks and after a week or so my monitors wouldn't wake from sleep... I of course don't blame the OS as more than likely there was a log somewhere explaining my issue, but I really just want to enjoy playing games after a long day.

So I gave up on my faux dream of living on the edge and instead installed Pop_OS!, and to my pleasant surprise it has been rock solid and performant to boot! My preconceived biases against Debian and it's derivatives drove me to borderline tribalism. Flatpak has remedied worries of outdated packages, and even if I did have an issue (bluetooth headphones defaulting to HSP not AD2P) I found the solution on the archwiki!

The beauty of this ecosystem is that Linux is Linux, we all benefit from improvements so long as they are made open and free, and no matter what flavor you choose, you'll always be part of the family.

Thanks for reading, and thank you to the contributors who work tirelessly to make an open and free desktop a reality :)

Just wanted some recommendations for salty snack foods for a grab and go drawer for my partner. My partner has trouble going up and down stairs often and needs a lot of salt in her diet so I was thinking some homemade beef jerky and trail mix with salted nuts. Surely there's a ton of great options out there!

TL;DR

Please share your go to homemade salty snack so I can stock a snack drawer for my partner :)

Probably not the response you want, but in my experience if you have the room and extra to spend I would highly recommend a second oven with convection. I picked one up for ~$50 at an auction and apart from the install and overhead from upgrading electrical I found it killer for when I have a lot to cook or there are multiple people interested in using the kitchen.

When the garge door is closed it recently developed a kink as show. Is this a simple fix such as adjusting the brackets, or is it possibly something more structural to the door? Other side has no problems, if you aren't sure thanks for looking anyway!
