I'm looking to maybe replace my watch. I currently have an F-91W. I mostly like it but I have two specific complaints: 1) It lacks a timer. 2) The backlight kinda sucks.
I'm looking for recommencations on a new watch. These are my requirements: 1) Resolves the above issues. 2) Must be cheap. 3) Bonus points if I can set more than one alarm.
Also, it doesn't specifically need to be a Casio.
Edit: additional bonus points if I can re-use the strap I got for my F-91W
I'm going to send this your way in case this may be something you want. It definitely adds a timer, but I can't remember if it improves on the backlight.
Cleaning my #FountainPens today. I don't know why, but I frequently have a hell of a time getting all the ink cleaned out of my Jinhao 10. I wish I weren't such a perfectionist sometimes.
Every time I would take the part of the pen that the converter plugs into out of the ultrasonic cleaner, a little bit of (still quite dark) ink would would drip out.
I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. It turns out that this part is so narrow that the surface tension of the water was causing an air bubble to get trapped inside, preventing the feed from being properly cleaned. I solved it by manually injecting some soapy water with a syringe inside to blow the air bubble out and it cleaned right out afterward.
Still, that's two hours of my life I'm not gonna get back.
One of the more obnoxious parts of the #ADHD experience: the amount of cold toast I eat because I put bread in the toaster and promptly forget that it exists.
@VulcanTourist Yeah, the trouble is that I have so many different reminders for so many different things that sometimes just the cues themselves can be overwhelming. 🫠
Yeah, I've been watching on twitch.tv/midnightsumo for a couple years now, and it's a serious distraction. Mostly I show up for the last 4 hours each day, but sometimes watch lower-division which are fun. #sumo
@calvin 🛋️ The first time I heard this substitution used, it confused me. Someone was talking about their Wi-Fi bill, and I thought, "wait, that's a bill?"
"The Internet" now refers to: A browser made by Google or MS, Facebook, Twitter, a bank's web site, a phone, online casino, or the hamster dance.
It does not refer to: A global network of computers, ethernet, or whatever hacker thing you're doing with telnet in "a shell" I'm gonna call the FBI on you if you start WW3.
You know, it's weird. When you think about it, a book store or library is basically a giant nexus to an incomprehensible number of other worlds. This should really fill people with more awe than it generally does.
The thing about being in the Mormon church for 12 years is that bits of it stay lodged in your brain forever despite your best efforts. I just caught myself humming a hymn, ironically enough while making my morning coffee. That just feels... wrong. #ExMormon #apostake
In the future, I recommend meal prep; it reduces the jit cooking overhead by a lot, tho it can't eliminate it entirely for most dishes. Many of my meals are (quinoa + beans + nooch + 99 secs. in the microwave).
In the present, I recommend the a ready-to-eat snack that's pareto optimal for you measures of nutrition, distance, and cost. I find a small bag of cashews with as little added salt as possible works well for me. Others have suggested packaged "cheese" and crackers.
I'd rather eat out all the time, or at least do takeaway, but cooking at home + meal prep was the only way I could get my sodium intake down to reasonable levels.
(My BP stubbornly remains high, tho.)
These days I continue it because the closest restartant (that isn't a food truck or also a convenience store) is a 15 minute drive away, I think.
So I think at least a part of my problem is the browser on my tablet. This problem only seems to happen when I'm using that. I'm still going to take measures to keep Meta/Amazon/Bytedance's bots from crawling my server because they're all over the access logs and they're certainly not helping matters. Also, they have absolutely no reason to be doing this at all.
So, I watched this YouTube video on the origin of the concept of imaginary numbers. While the content was fascinating and presumably well-researched, my brain couldn't stop looking at the abacus prominently displayed on the guy's desk. It was upside down for the whole video.
I keep wanting to resurrect my homemade 8-bit CPU project (heavily inspired by Ben Eater's breadbord computer). One of the changes I want to make is to have a variable speed clock module that you have to manually turn a crank to run. The faster you crank, the higher the clock speed.
Is this practical? Not in the slightest. It would be really cool though.
If you want to play the game of making fake "security scan" announcements over your PA system, it might add to their credibility if they didn't sound like they were made by a professional voice actor in a recording studio.
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.

I would like an org-mode-custom-command to display an agenda which is only made from the
I am using many different org mode files for various projects, and I rev them by adding the date to the filename eg filename-2020-09-17.org. I realize I could use version control but in this case t...
"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:
Hello, I’m excited to join this community. I value respectful, meaningful conversations and aim to contribute positively. My interests include [briefly list relevant topics or hobbies], and I’m looking forward to connecting with like-minded people here. Thank you for your time in reviewing my application.
@Kevin Karhan Registration on this server is only open to friends and family.* There is a very prominent notice to that effect on the registration page.
* I don't have the resources to run a server that's open to the public.
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 😁 )
