Yes, this is what I'm looking for. Thank you.

Awesome! Thank you, I'll check it out.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, NFL players get suspended fairly often for PEDS.

The whole bicycle racing doping program has a documentary about it.

Track and field, especially in the 80's/90's also had a whole documentary about how they did it.

The entire Russian Olympic team got banned for it....

And that's just off the top of my head.

Yeah aging wheels is great. I'll take a look at Flexiny

 

I've been watching Rob Dahm for a long time and he's been documenting an old indycar he got his hands on with the awesome cosworth turbo v8. Its super fascinating. I've been trying to find others and the stuff I am finding isn't quite the same.

Looking for more "doing it on a budget" vs like Ferrari's cliente program.

My friends and I have been playing it for a while, it's fantastic.

To be honest, not having tap to pay is a pain but not a dealbreaker. I can still use my bank card to tap.

Not having android auto is annoying, but only one of my cars even has it. So already used to not using it.

MyQ Maybe has a workaround, I've found Zwave garage door openers that I can hook to my home automation which should solve that. Just gotta spend the $$

This is what my wife and I did, buy two murena Fairphone 5's. Flash /e/os (not as hard as it sounds, you can even do it from a browser window) add F-droid.

We've had a few things that wont work and there doesn't appear to be a workaround really. But otherwise we're living the degoogled life.

Not working: Android auto MyQ Google Wallet

RCS isn't good enough. There is only one app that it works on. Sometimes, no... often it just doesn't work. I'm currently starring at a thread that used to work, but now I can't send messages too. I made it! Everyone had rcs.

Fuck the whole thing.

Look man, I worked at a very large dairy farm. Don't send me you tube links, I saw how it went down. Don't kid yourself, there isn't a cruelty free way to slaughter creatures.

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Lol as opposed to.... Any other type of meat? I don't think any meat where they are raised to be shot in the head in an assembly line is "cruelty free" I used to work for a fairly well known dairy company. Guess what happens to baby boy cows.

You just happen to be aware of foi gras and how they are raised/slaughtered.

I'm not super familiar with trabants, I mean in a detail sort of way. But to EV convert there are a lot of things to factor in. For example the go to conversion is to buy a wrecked Tesla and use its battery and drive unit. However the model 3 pack is bigger in length as the trabant 1.1 at 218cm vs the trabant wheelbase of 202cm and width is 150 cm vs the trabant at 151 cm. Which means you're opening up the pack and using the modules. Likely need to make your own battery boxes at that point.

Totally doable. Take a look at some of the youtubers who focus on this because there is some cool tech coming out now specifically for this purpose.

Some even go super simple where they leave the gearbox, and just make an EV motor adapter to connect and you can even shift the gears (pointless but fun).

Thank you! I am so happy with it, it makes me smile every time I walk into my kitchen and see him.

 

First, huge shoutout to @restingboredface@sh.itjust.works for the inspiration! You gave me some great ideas, but the spider was perfect because my spider plant had a runner that needed to get planted. Link to the imgur album

🕷️ Say hello to my Happy Spider Friend!

It’s a spider-shaped plant pot with:

Built-in drainage system

Removable tray

Detachable legs for safe shipping

A weird/cute vibe that’s perfect for spider plants or succulents

I made it for folks who love quirky décor, Halloween year-round, or just want something fun on their shelf. Think I'll make one in black and purple next because I think it would be adorable.

Check it out here: Support Artisans Co-op Or on that other retailer

Would love to hear what you think or see your own weird planters too 👇

 

Hey all. One of my hobbies is designing and 3d printing simple plant pots. I usually give the first one to my elderly neighbor because she got me into the idea years ago.

Anyone have an idea or a need for a planter I can try to design? I generally like more minimalist themes.

 

I've been trying to find a car audio community. So far I've not been successful. I've got some questions about upgrading an android auto head unit. Anyone have some suggestions?

I had a customer that sent me a picture of a heart shaped succulent planter she found on pinterest, and said, "Can you make it like Minecraft" This is the result.

Then she ghosted me and didn't buy it. 😂

Anyway, I planted some succulents in it I got at the store and now it sits on my counter.

EDIT: I made an Imgur post with more pictures if you are interested.

Additional Pics!

With bitwarden changing to at least email auth required, I'm one of those that stores my email creds there. I don't want to risk losing my email so it seems I need to use an Authenticator. For work, I have microsoft auth but that makes me want to die a little.

EDIT: I appreciate you all, thank you.

 

Hey all, probably better places to ask this but you all know everything. I got a oneplus 10 pro, and it has a very faint microphone icon in the top right. It's not there all the time, but I've noticed it with firefox, and a few other apps.

I messed around with the mic permissions but nothing seemed to get rid of it.

What is it, and how do I make it not there?

 

I got it super early during the launch and it works fine for everything else but recently the controllers won't connect and now the keyboard won't either. I took it apart at night to see if the wires were loose, but they weren't.

Guess it's only a handheld now, no more road redemption, stick fight etc....😭

 

I have been spending a lot of time working remotely with my laptop in random locations. And usually just plug my mouse in via the USB dongle. But just curious if there is a noticeable battery difference doing this? Seems like Bluetooth would be better because it's already powering other things anyway.

Edit: seems like it's Bluetooth. Going to have to change my habits. Thanks all.

 

She's growing up, and she's got a framework 13 laptop with fedora 40, which is great, but she's been using hand me down peripherals.

She'd love a decent mechanical KB as she likes the clicky clicky of the keys, but the last one I got her, a Lofree, basically bit the dust in no time.

She's SUPER into the aesthetics but doesn't want RGB led's, but DOES like a nice backlit keyboard.

When searching for it, amazon, best buy and the rest just pollute the results, so it's actually difficult to decide what to get her. Her birthday is coming up so this will be her main gift.

What have you all had good luck with that might be aesthetically pleasing, that the quality wasn't trash like Lofree.

EDIT: thank you for all your suggestions, I've sent her a bunch of links to look at and she's going through them now. I'll try to remember to post back what she picks.

She calls it the soda can planter, and I love it. She made it in tinkercad and I helped her print it with recycled PLA.

EDIT: Not sure why the image didn't upload the first time, I'll try again.
