Hygiene services offered to vendors who sell the paper

“It makes me feel human.”

That was a recurring sentiment expressed on a rainy afternoon by Street Roots vendors emerging fresh from a shower and wearing clothes they just washed in the building’s laundry room.

The basement floor houses Street Roots’ new shower and laundry facilities, offering appointments for showers and a wash and dry laundry service.

For vendor Lore Wilson, using the facilities offered some reprieve from the experience of living outside.

“It restores a massive amount of personal dignity, self-esteem and confidence to have a shower and clean clothes,” Wilson said. “Having my basic needs so considerately cared for, with so much kindness and compassion — to have my humanity recognized in such a way — is a good reminder that I am not less than.”

Street roots doing what they do. Dropping facts. Not sure why the link didn't work in the Lemmy URL:

Just got a marketing email from Murena and they are advertising the FP6 in the USA with a $60 discount. I bought one when they first went on sale in the usa and I love it. You can run AOSP android or /e/os on it. I'm running /e/os with the fossify launcher and it's pretty great. Battery life is probably the best part though, I can easily make it 3 days without charging.

The state program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years. At the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

I think I'm done, hit my mental energy limit. I have a very small 3d design company, where I started by taking small projects, making the design and then selling it on either Etsy or Artisans coop. I'd also attend local craft fairs, or makers markets.

I've had a lot of fun and satisfaction doing this, solved some cool problems for people and made a small amount of money. (Mostly just paid for the printers)

But, the last three craft fairs I've attended I sold literally nothing at one, and only a few dollars at the others, Etsy sales have dried up and Artisans coop never got off the ground for me. I know I need to market, but I've been doing it without Meta/deadbird etc which is so tough.

So I think I'm done and just want a way out.

If anyone either has advice on how to sell this company (its an LLC) or if you are even interested in buying it, maybe DM me. I've got tons if filament, a pair of nice printers, probably a few dozen 3d designs plus a bunch of replacement parts for the printers. PrusaXL2T and Vivedino Troodon300 heavily modded.

I mean that has licensed tracks and cars that you can modify in stupid fun ways? The last time I played Gran Tuismo was on a PS3 and I played it so much.

I have purchased a few games over the years, Project cars 1-3, Asetto corsa, Forza Horizon, The Crew 2.... all of them were interesting in some ways, but I just miss grabbing a boring car and modding it to stupid power levels and racing it at Laguna seca for example.

I made this planter (<- imgur gallery) to sell at a pair of craft fairs I'm attending this month and next. I needed something small enough I could fit a few of them on the 6 foot table. I can make them in any color but I love how the black and white turned out.

I would like to have one with a plant in it to showcase it on the table and was hoping you all would have some suggestions (this community always has great suggestions!)

It's about 4 inches tall and 6 inches wide.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

We planted both raspberries and strawberries over the last few years and are getting so many we can't eat them all. We give them away, but is there something better we can do with them?

Edit: thanks for all the great responses. I think we're going to freeze them.

I know pre launch there were issues with the fan noise. I've just bought a 16 and it hits 71db when playing cyberpunk, and still 70 when playing rimworld. I've reached out to support and they didn't have much to offer, (reset bios to defaults, disassemble and ensure nothing stuck in the fan.)

It's virtually silent at idle and even when gaming on battery it's not very loud. Has anyone figured out a better fan solution?

EDIT: I've discovered the project fw-fanctrl. I made a custom profile that doesn't do much until the cpu hits higher temps then ramps to max much later. Will see how that works. I might post my profile if it works well enough.

EDIT2: It occurred to me, some of you all might be interested in what I did. Here is the step by step I think. I'm on Fedora 42 so you might need to do something more for your OS and I might have missed a step in my notes. I added a profile that doesn't do much until 75C and ramps to 100% at 95C. I just played a game of Beyond all reason and I'm pretty sure it never got to 85C even.

First clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/TamtamHero/fw-fanctrl.git

cd fw-fanctrl

pip install build --user

sudo ./install.sh

Just a couple checks to see if it's doing what we think:

systemctl status fw-fanctrl

Can leave this running to see any output:

journalctl -u fw-fanctrl -f

Now, find the fw-fanctrl config.json, mine was here in /etc

sudo nano /etc/fw-fanctrl/config.json

Add this section to the json (Be sure you're comma's and brackets match!)

"super-quiet": {
  "fanSpeedUpdateFrequency": 5,
  "movingAverageInterval": 40,
  "speedCurve": [
    { "temp": 0, "speed": 0 },
    { "temp": 55, "speed": 0 },
    { "temp": 65, "speed": 15 },
    { "temp": 75, "speed": 25 },
    { "temp": 85, "speed": 50 },
    { "temp": 95, "speed": 100 }
  ]
}

Then edit the defaultStrategy value to be super-quiet

"defaultStrategy": "super-quiet",

Restart using systemctl:

sudo systemctl restart fw-fanctrl

I've been watching Rob Dahm for a long time and he's been documenting an old indycar he got his hands on with the awesome cosworth turbo v8. Its super fascinating. I've been trying to find others and the stuff I am finding isn't quite the same.

Looking for more "doing it on a budget" vs like Ferrari's cliente program.

First, huge shoutout to @restingboredface@sh.itjust.works for the inspiration! You gave me some great ideas, but the spider was perfect because my spider plant had a runner that needed to get planted. Link to the imgur album

🕷️ Say hello to my Happy Spider Friend!

It’s a spider-shaped plant pot with:

Built-in drainage system

Removable tray

Detachable legs for safe shipping

A weird/cute vibe that’s perfect for spider plants or succulents

I made it for folks who love quirky décor, Halloween year-round, or just want something fun on their shelf. Think I'll make one in black and purple next because I think it would be adorable.

Check it out here: Support Artisans Co-op Or on that other retailer

Would love to hear what you think or see your own weird planters too 👇
