¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Both!  Bimonthly can refer to something happening “every two months” or “twice a month.” Yep, bimonthly has, fittingly enough, two meanings."

Is that bimonthly: twice a month, or bimonthly: once every two months?

Here are the first two.. I like the sparkly black and orange aesthetic more, but the Prusa filament is 2x the price of the Overture grey I usually use.

I was very surprised that my idea for a handle worked at all (let alone first go), so the file was saved with the name: "ICantBelieveThisActuallyWorked-Handle.stl"

If you want to push them for Obsidian support, take 5 mins and put that into their user survey..

https://ux.myscript.com/

I just put it into all the "what apps do you use for" sections that were appropriate, and I think there was also a free text section where I put "better MD export support" into, from memory...

I hear you on the obsidian vault costs, but for what it saves me in hassle I ended up going the full license, with 10 vaults.. I have one for home, one for work, one for testing obsidian plugins/new tricks, and my also kid uses one for school...

So far, bulletproof, and individual crypto keys for vaults means separation between church/state/school is maintained...

The sync handles simultaneous editing on phone/laptop so that's golden.

I alsu use nebo for handwritten notes on my android tablet, and export text to my daily note. (Just wish it exported MD properly! 🫤)

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)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by snrkl to c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

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)
submitted 2 weeks ago by snrkl to c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

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....

Or wear it to your claim rejection review meeting maybe?

As Gabe Newell said: "Piracy isn't a pricing issue, its a service issue"

As my friend said: "every time a plastic video disc says " operation not permitted " a torrent is born...

As I say: "People will pay when it's easy, more reliable and more convenient." As a software product manager, I forbid my product from ever wasting developer cycles with copy protection.. It's expensive to deliver, annoying to real customers and doesn't make us any more money...

I know GrapheneOS leverages security features only found in the pixel, but a fella can dream, can't he?
