So my partner and I do Instacart to help make ends meet. We have supposedly opted out of heavy orders,* and yet we were assigned an order with three cases (40 x 500mL) of water. That's 60kg (assuming negligible packaging weight).
This begs the question: what exactly is their threshold for what is considered a "heavy order"?
* because they don't pay anywhere near enough for us to destroy our bodies like that.
EDIT: The solution was simple but "bonus points" for anyone that can explain why my method didn't work.

"If the current buffer is in Org mode and visiting a file, you can also first press ‘<’ once to indicate that the agenda should be temporarily (until the next use of ‘SPC o a’) restricted to the current file. Pressing ‘<’ twice means to restrict to the current subtree or region (if active). "
In other words, execute org-agenda then press "<" before the command you want to run against the agenda.
Lately, things around the apartment have been failing in ways I didn't even know could happen. I had to pick up a new shower head because the old one exploded while I was in the shower yesterday (clocking me in the head in the process).
I'm beginning to think this apartment has it in for me.
Got another spambot requesting registration on my server. This was the masterpiece they included in their request:

With #3DPrinting being so accessible and #PCB manufacturing being reasonably inexpensive, I wonder how much I'm underestimating how difficult it would be to design and build a fully #FOSS #game console. I'm thinking something reminiscent of the #NES; I'm not trying to compete with modern consoles.

@Digit At the moment, I'm very broke and my executive function sucks since I'm off ADHD meds, so it'll probably take forever for me to finish, but It's something I want to do.
It does look like someone's beaten me to it, but I'm not trying to be the first, just to enjoy the challenge.
And indeed. It's the adventure, the learning, the creating, more than the having.
(and yeah, I hear ya on the executive functioning fails... I've never yet had medication for my ADHD (not even officially diagnosed), this place is a mess... and yet, when the idea struck, and I followed the inspiration, the whim, at the start of this month, much to my astonishment, I made a fin, from zero to proof of concept, in less than a week, and development continues... ks392457.kimsufi.com/drnw/fin.… | codeberg.org/Digit/fin/ | youtu.be/dhJaNQi8400 😮 ... So it happens when it happens. #ADHD -> #VAST 😁 )
Hey Fedi, I could use some help with this one. I'm in over my head.
We have an #Insignia portable #WashingMachine (model: NS-TWM16WH9). The agitator has suddenly stopped, well, agitating. It makes a buzzing sound as though the motor is being engaged, but no motion. A quick internet search identified a slipped belt as a plausible culprit, but I found what appears to be the belt at the botton of the machine, and it seems perfectly fine, though I don't know if it's perhaps the one that spins the drum (which is working fine).
It doesn't throw an error code, or give any other indication that the computer is even aware there is a problem.
Any ideas what else the issue could be? At the moment, I have it sitting unplugged as I don't know if there's a big ass capacitor in there, storing a charge waiting to strike me down when I go prodding, and to be honest, I'm decidedly in over my head on this one. At least it soesn't seem to require security bits though.
I'm sure it's out of warranty and we can't afford to replace. Any suggestions would be welcome. Boosts appreciated.
I never saw a washing with 2 belts (but I'm not saying the don't exist) so if the best is fine I'd look for exhausted brushes on the motor, which are two pieces of graphite that wears down and eventually have to be replaced. #repaircafe

@uoou Yeah, I woke up to my mail client complaining that it hadn't been able to connect since about 1AM. Web interface was throwing an error after I supplied 2FA. Literally a couple minutes after I asked, the problem resolved itself.
Just throwing this out there, but does anyone happen to know of a good 찐빵 (jjinppang) recipe? I've been trying to find it for years. You'd think that for all the stores/restaurants specializing in Korean food in the area I'd have been able to find it, but no.
I'm sure I could google a recipe, but if I'm going to go to the trouble to make it (which I understand is somewhat extensive) I'd like to know I have a good recipe.
Made those (apparently) viral potato lentil burritos a couple days ago and they were amazing, so we made a giant stock pot's worth of filling to freeze in batches.
They're stupidly cheap, delicious, and really high in fibre (which we're old enough that we care about that kind of thing now).
@Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. I never trust stuff to stay online so I transcribed it (and linked the original). Here's a link in both PDF and markdown formats.
Welp, #Debian 13 is out. I wonder how long it'll take me to get around to upgrading. Every time I do, something always breaks. It's always fixable, but annoying.
Just had an appointment with my family doctor. Mostly good news, except for the fact that when we discussed finally being able to go back on #ADHD meds (which I had come off of because we were worried about them worsening another issue) he's going to want me to be re-evaluated for ADHD.
I can't wait to jump through those hoops again for the umpteenth time.
It kinda made sense when he took over for my old family doctor and my records hadn't been transferred over yet. All he had to go on was my word for it and a previous prescription bottle.
This guy hasn't liked me being on them from day one though, and has tried to get me off them on multiple occasions.

Haven't had McDonald's in a while, but Katy wanted it, so we got some. As a diabetic, my drink options are limited, but I opted for a sugar free cold brew coffee.
I'm shocked at how much I enjoyed it. I think I might actually like it better than the stuff I make at home. I'm kinda mad about it, actually. 🙃
Sometimes there is stuff that you can do in catering sizes, that can never be recreated at home. Or, you might want to find out what beans they are using and how they do it.
@silverwizard @Kevin Davy I get a specific brand of beans from Costco (don't remember the name but recognise the bag when I see it) and fresh grind them. I'm fortunate in that our tap water seems pretty good just on its own for hardness and so forth. The rest is just about the consistency of the measurements. (It was actually at your suggestion a while ago I started using a kitchen scale.)
I don't know that it's the best coffee in the world but given that pre-made cold brew is generally expensive and rather hit-and-miss for me, and this produces what I deem to be a consistently good cup of coffee at a fraction of the price, I've deemed it Good Enough for Me™.
@silverwizard Also, the recipe I adapted mine from said that a pitcher would keep in the fridge for up to two weeks. At first, I had no reason to doubt this because it never lasted me that long anyway.
I've since had to moderate my caffeine intake, and have learned to make less at a time because the quality seems to degrade a bit after about a week.
@Jonathan Lamothe I've made coldbrew based on your video on it, so good full circle!
Yeah, that's shocking. I find coldbrew does better sweet than a lot - was it that it had a solid creamer you're missing out in? I use a squirt of stevia syrup these days (for complex reasons invovling too much stevia)
@silverwizard That could be what it was. I usually drink my coffee black with a little sugar-free syrup. I do change the syrups up from time to time to keep it interesting, though.
@Jonathan Lamothe I think coldbrew doesn't have the same flavour pop as hot coffee (which is why I use coldbrew for "coffee flavoured milkshakes") - and so you might be disguising a lot of complexity and not filling it in.
if in wanted to emboss text around the outer rounded edge of a cylinder, how would I go about doing that? I don't know how to transform an object on a curve like that.
There is no general way to roll up a shape like that. All solutions for text on cylinder just position each character independently with a for loop over the string, so each one is still flat and it only really works with fixed width fonts.
while I use #gmsh and not openscad, and I haven't been concerned with wrapping 3dised text particularly, I think there isn't an especially 'good' way of curving a previously flat plane viz 3D meshing. If this were generally doable the world would be crazy.
If each letter is separate, I guess you would just have each letter's separate normal be radial to the cylinder and dphi would basically just be the normal spacing between the letters.
I want to put relief text on curved surface but can't find way to do that in OpenSCAD. I'm aware it's possible to bend text in Blender and then import stl, but I don't like this workflow. I found s...

Something that would solve this problem would be if the language supported a transform that would take a function as an input (either a name or some kind of lambda) that would take a set of coordinates as an input and return a modified set of coordinates. It would then apply this transformation to each vertex of its children.
So, I've been getting reasonably decent with #OpenSCAD. I've debated opening an Etsy store, but I don't own a #3DPrinter. While I do have access to a couple for personal projects, I have nothing that would be suitable for commercial use, nor do I have the seed money to buy one.
One of the services I'm thinking of offering in the interim is creating custom STL files for people based on a rough sketch or photo, but I don't know if that would be a viable thing.
Is that a thing anyone here would have interest in?
I suppose I could also outsource the actual printing, but that would add lead time and overhead cost to the project. I've learned from experience that an invoice presented to a customer and an actual payment are very different things and could leave me having to eat that cost.
I wonder if that's something worth discussing with the kwarztLab folks on their Tuesday drop in night? Afaik most have 3D printers, and I expect a few might have done the same?

Pretty sure Rogers keeps disconnecting my internet in the middle of the night without notice to do some kind of maintenance hoping that nobody will notice.
I keep having to reboot the modem every morning for the past few days. This time I was awake when it went down.
Katy and I have randomly discovered sumo wrestling and weirdly gotten into it. The first thing I learned was that the people who deliberately get seating in the front rows are... brave.
It's all these dignitaries and rich people, those rows aren't easy to buy, and they get run over a lot. As do the judges, "Shimpan bowling" we call it.
Went to a large grocery store and waitied in the parking lot with a book for a few hours hoping to pick up an Instacart order. Didn't get one, but as I tried to start the car to go home, I found that I'd left the lights on and the battery's dead.
Waiting on my father to show up with jumper cables, but at least I'm not so upset about not getting an order. Would've sucked to find the battery dead when I tried to deliver it...
