Sure as shit is!!

(Translation: Yes, that phrasing is correct, and it references the mess your friend leaves throwing up on your lawn when leaving your house drunk late at night, that later becomes the dogs breakfast...)

(Technically a dogs breakfast ACTUALLY means "messy and made up of random mismatched bits, but I've always like the first explanation better)

I've got two running GOS.

One as my daily carry, another a home security system controller and family Spotify tablet.

I use the daily carry with separate user accounts (home / work) and complement with a usi2.0 stylus and Nebo Notes for hand written notes.

Currently using amazfit trex2 with gadget bridge.

All the things I actually use work. My only peeve is that you can't silence /stop phone alarms from the watch, but I believe this is a general android thing...

My pebble 2 Duo arrived yesterday... It doesn't yet pair with Gadgetbridge but I imagine it will at some point.

I've also ordered the Pebble Time 2, which I think will be a better watch for me: going back to a b/w display without touchscreen is hard. The Time2 has both colour and touchscreen....

Reminds me of a scene from one of my favourite west wing episodes:

After learning how long it takes to heat soak my v2.4-350, I can't imagine how long that 500x500 plate is going to take!!

With the exception of crap for the kids and cake toppers, everything I print is to solve a problem I/we have.

Here are the gridfinity drawers I designed and printed for under my desk. https://www.printables.com/model/1129785-gridfinity-under-desk-drawer-system

I'm about to start printing triple stacks of these to put better drawers into my IKEA KALLAX shelves than the ones IKEA sells.

Oh come on people!!

If there was EVER a use case for repurposing a USB stick to make a Linux install USB, it would HAVE to be this one, surely?!

I think the fact your library has one to borrow is the absolute best part of this post!

 

I turned them off before the recent inclement weather as advised by our local council.

I meant to do it last week, but I kept forgetting.

I turned the DC and the AC back on in the reverse of the order suggested for turning them off.

I watched the panels from across the road for a bit, to watch for anything obviously amiss. (I assume sparks, smoke and fire to be the obvious problems to watch for). We didn't and up getting hit by the terrible weather event, so I wasn't too worried.

The panels seemed to come up ok.

Is anyone else having HORRIBLE problems with their Prusa Mk4 or Mk4S first layer quality...

My mk4s developed a problem that Prusa spent 3 months troubleshooting with me where the first layer is being laid down too close, and so filament blobs, then prints fail.

Eventually, they advance replaced my whole printer, and the new one had the exact same problem out of the box..

I managed to find a bug that was raised on github for this exact issue, with 22 other people registering "mee too" for the issue..

I'm just looking for some feedback from the wider community to see if any others have hit this problem?

 

It is self propelled. It took me a quarter of the time to do our lawns as it normally does, so I had time to trim the hedges...

 

My desk is very messy. I thought it was just "average" clutter but a colleague made a comment the other day that changed my feelings on it.

I have a sit/stand desk, so I need drawers that can attach to the underside..

I've decided to design some and make them with my 3D printer. I have to split it into 4 parts as it is too big to print it all in one go.

I've printed three of the parts, and just restarted the 4th print as it failed aboit an hour into the seven hour print job.

Mowed the lawn today.. (self.dull_mens_club)

We've had weeks of alternating torrential rain and super hot sunny days that have both prevented me from mowing, but super charged the lawn growth at the same time.

The lawn was almost a foot long after not being able to mow it for 14 days due to the weather.

I had to empty the catcher on the mower every 10ft, and I made so many trips back and forth to the green waste bin with the catcher, I got my 8000 steps for the day.

It normally takes me an hour to mow the front and back lawns, but today it took me three and a half hours. The last two hours were in the dark, and I had to mow with a pair of torches...

It's nice that it's done now, but I'll have to mow again within the next 5 days.

I got new glasses (self.dull_mens_club)
 

I've evolved from bifocals to trifocals. I didn't pick new frames, as Iike the ones I had before, so I just got the same frames again. I got these ones with lenses that go dark when you wear them outside and clear when I come back in. This means I'm not constantly swapping glasses when I come inside, or go outside...

The dog is almost 17 months old, and her training is coming along well. She has had a strict rule where she's not allowed on carpeted floors or on any furniture. This was to make sure she understood it was a privilege, and only when invited. I let her up on the outdoor furniture for the first time today. She's liking it, and sitting calmly with us...

 

Reading posts from this community pleases me in ways I have struggled to explain or define.

Until I realised...

The dull men's club is is the antitheses of the escalating deluge of drivel from self dubbed "influencers" on social media.

This community celebrates the every day but does it without the hullabaloo of attention grabbing junk we are surrounded by these days. It does it quietly in a dignified manner... and I find that.... comforting...

Also: I cooked bacon and egg breakfast for our teen kids and all their friends this morning. I cleaned the kitchen before sitting down to eat my own breakfast. I decided to clean first, as this way I get to sit down and not get back up. Cold breakfast was a small price to pay for being able to drink my coffee and read the news, knowing the kitchen is done, and I don't need to get up again....

 

Updated template. Had no idea on who the knucklehead from the original template was.
