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.

sideloading is a bullshit word made up to make doing what you want with what you own sound more scary. Let's call it what it has always been called on PC.

@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.
the Gametank guys were at #hope_16:
Yup. Several have.
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 😁 )
I have an appointment that I have to keep today. I'm sure it's purely bureaucratic red tape but it's been kicking my anxiety into high gear again.
I miss having literally any stress tolerance at all.

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

I would love it if people had the same level of "Wikipedia isn't always right, you know" skepticism about... literally all other sources, regardless of context.
It's so weird how for decades most people around me were like "whoa, gotta be careful, can't trust wikipedia" and now many of those same people are taking whatever AI cooks up hook, line, & sinker.
I'm beginning to think it was never about actual info quality or actual critical thinking.

What can I say. I'm good at what I do.
Actually, I have no clue. One thing I have noticed about gamerplus.org
When I want to make an external link to a post, first I click on the post and I get something that looks like
gamerplus.org/deck/@me@social.…
Which might not work. But if I take /deck out
gamerplus.org/@me@social.jlamo…
It works.
Let me know if either or both of these work for you.
Thanks
@screwlisp @Jerry on Friendica I managed to get it working. I'm really not sure what changed, but I think that @hairylarry following me first made a difference for some reason.

@jerry
They actually both worked for me but with a different look. Without /deck the post was large and in the center. With /deck it was in the right column.

Who knows ???
@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.
I guess it just wanted to make me look silly.

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).
I am happy.

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.

A couple of posts today made me think about the connection between masking and imposter syndrome, especially for those of us who have realised late that we are autistic. I have long believed that there are essentially two aspects to the way that we masked. Masking ourselves from the world and masking ourselves from ourselves and that both of these contributed to being able to stay below the radar of realising what we were for so long. But, perhaps, the most important one, was not the face we showed the world, mostly because I doubt if that was ever as good as we thought it was, but the mirror we learnt to see ourselves in.
That internal masking of ourselves can take many forms.
I thought it was just me.
But, everyone does it this way.
No one else is bothered, or even seems to be noticing. I must be just imagining it, or too sensitive. It can't be real.
I've tried talking about it, but no one took me seriously, they thought I was joking. It's obviously just me. I really must be broken, or mad.
I can't see myself anywhere, I can't be right.
I can't be this way, no one else is.
I must be wrong.
And so much else...
So much of it is denial and disbelieve, as much as anything, and it doesn't go away once we begin to realise the truth. It doesn't magically lose its power. It has to be faced and defeated as a deliberate act of de-masking, that, perhaps, never really ends, because we've carried and tended to it for too long. And, all the time, it is a voice of doubt and so-called reason in our minds that can fuel our imposter syndrome. That can make us doubt our journey, our revelations, our truth. Because that was always its job. It is the reason we created it. To mask ourselves from the truth. Because, it wasn't the truth we saw, or were able to accept.
This isn't to say, by any means, that it is the only bone our imposter syndrome will chew on. But, for those of us who are late realising our truth, it is perhaps a particularly meaty one. Because it has been with us for so long, our only answer to the darkness we lived in and the only world we could see.

This right here. This has wreaked so much havoc in my brain over the years. The only conclusion I could draw was that I was somehow defective.

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. 🙃

@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)

One of the neighbours smoke detectors was going off for an extended period of time. Just as I was about to go investigate, it stopped.
I assume this either means it was a false alarm after all, or the smoke detector itself has been destroyed in the blaze. 🙃
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?
