Will probably have to sharpen my chisel a couple of times depending on how it goes. It is going to be my first time with the kit, but it is not my first time using or sharpening the chisel.
Really it’s like a couple-of-hours project, but we’ll see. I’m setting the bar really low in the hopes I actually get around to it.

Ultimately I want to include it on the door to a coffee/tea cabinet, but that will require a track saw or table saw I don’t currently have access to.

Zorind LinkReally neat, thanks for sharing. The whole time I was reading I was basically thinking the thing the author said at the bottom of the post, so when I read it I did laugh a little.Really neat, thanks for sharing.

Or, hear me out, maybe don’t use a programming language for simple configuration…? Food for thought :)

Comment on Trolley problem, again in ~humanities
Zorind Link ParentYeah, there is no way to actually “apply” the trolley problem in a real-world scenario. There are way too many factors in the real world that basically entirely mitigate the framing.Yeah, there is no way to actually “apply” the trolley problem in a real-world scenario.

Agreed. It’s a thought experiment, and should really only ever be treated as a thought experiment. In any real world scenario, there are too many situation-specific factors that make it basically useless to refer to IMO.

We did the standard "go to this side of the classroom for pull the lever, go to the other side of the classroom for not pull the lever". And it was interesting to me how many people would swap their decision when it changed from the standard trolley problem to the "fat man" version of the trolley problem.
This specific argument, that apparently someone makes in the show you're talking about
"if I pull that lever it's a choice and I'm choosing to kill that person. I could never do that."
always annoyed me. Because not doing something is still a choice.
The argument that "not pulling the lever" is not making a choice has never made sense to me.
Like, I think there is a valid argument that someone could make for not pulling the lever (e.g. direct vs indirect responsibility), but saying that it isn't making a choice doesn't hold water to me.
But also, in that class, the first time we were going over the trolley problem is the first time I ever heard the "medical transplant" version of the trolley problem. And I ended up as basically the only person that ended up going "in for a penny, in for a pound" and stayed in the "kill one to save five" side of the room. (I don't think I hold that opinion anymore, given resultant discussions around societal and medical ethical codes...but when it is presented with the same utilitarian math as the trolley problem as the only "inputs" to the question...)

It is surprisingly good. I liked “I Miss the Sunroom” and “The Best Combo Meal On The Worst Night Of My Life” the best.
Found this Wendy’s post with a little more details.
That team of artists includes multi-platinum producer and songwriter Matt Squire – whose credits include Panic! at the Disco, 3oh!3, All Time Low, Simple Plan and Sum 41 – along with a lineup of artists who know exactly how to turn heartbreak, nostalgia and existential dread into a catchy chorus.
Featuring Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire and Anberlin, Chloe Kinnon of Winona Fighter, Shane Told of Silverstein, Beau Bokan of Blessthefall, Derek DiScanio of State Champs and Kat Leon of Holy Wars, this album pairs surprisingly well with a Wendy’s combo and a dramatic stare out the front windshield.
To me, they all feel like songs that Jarrod Alonge could’ve written for his “satirical/parody” emo group Canadian Softball. (If you like early 2000’s emo music, I highly recommend checking that out as well if you haven’t).

Sure, you can get more specific “undershirt”, “tee shirt”, “dress shirt”, “polo”. But all of those are “shirts” to me.
I was just as intrigued as you when the OP here said they didn’t regularly wear shirts.

Comment on VR questions, recommendations, tips, and tricks in ~games
Zorind Link ParentI think I read somewhere that fans can also help with the motion sickness/nausea that VR can cause, but I’m not sure how scientifically sound that is.You can also point a fan at your playspace while you're in it. This is especially good if you've got an irregularly-shaped area. The direction and intensity of the airflow can help you establish your real-world location by feel. Also, if you're doing VR exercise, it's great for cooling you off!

I had an Oculus Riff (I think the first commercially available one), and played a lot of beatsaber in college with it (I’d set it up in one of the common areas in the dorm no one was using, or my living room, and me and some friends would play).
But post college, it’s been too much of a pain to set up given it required trackers, and a 20 ft HDMI cable (and the required Meta/Facebook integration), and the space needed (I’d have to shuffle my computer in and out of the living room in my apartment). And then I never bought anything wireless bc they were too expensive at the time.
But I really should exercise more, and I could see the Steam Frame helping me get around to doing that.

My Kobo is older (but not that old, a Libra H20 (2?)), and I hated having to transfer epubs to it by plugging it in to my computer.
I like buying books through humble bundles (bc I am a voracious reader so getting lots of books at nice is once) so I always had to side load those. Also from bookshop.org so I can support local bookstores even though I buy a lot of epubs.
Living my dream, hah.
Sounds like a neat project, good luck!
