The home page is fine for me, it's dialed pretty well into my tastes. I always click the don't reccommend channel or video if I don't like a recommendation.

The Trending tab, on the other hand... Yikes.

Yes, but he doesn't bother.

I stand corrected

Well that just wouldn't make any sense, they hardly get any snow down there!

I've heard a story about a college campus that didn't install any paths, waited for natural dirt paths to form in the grass, then installed paths there. Neat idea.

Starlink works differently than conventional sattelite. I'm not an expert, so I'm not going to try to explain it beyond saying that I think it's due to the properties of the sattelites being low orbit, requiring more ground transmission stations and more sattelites than conventional sattelite internet.

I believe their coverage has increased greatly over the past few years. When it was first out my parents also didn't have coverage. They do now, and have for a couple of years.

Do you understand how slow dial up is? Do you understand that conventional sattelite throttles you to unusable speeds after a shockingly low data limit is used up? Those services are not modern internet services. Starlink is. In my testing, I got an average of 45mbps down over a 40GB download. That's so fucking fast compared to even DSL, which is commonly 10mbps down, and even slower up.

Found the person who's never lived in a area with dial-up or conventional sattelite as their only options. I hate Elon as much as the next person, but starlink is revolutionary for those with no other options.

As a massive gear head, this is always my argument. If we have better public transit infrastructure, people who don't want to drive won't, making the experience better for those of us that do.

Thanks for the explainer, that makes a lot of sense.

They said kilawatt hours per how, not kilawatts per hour.

kWh/h = kW

The h can be cancelled, resulting in kW. They're technically right, but kWh/h shouldn't ever be used haha.

This is a factual but irrelevant statement

 

The MCM arch holds the grinder handle in place which keeps it from flopping around, and keeps the grinder in the caddy. It's a really clean and easy solution for this unique problem.

I talk more about the caddy in this video if you're interested - Timestamped Link

On Friday a video will be out where I talk more about the final version (shown in the video attached to this post), but the function is quite similar, just with the correct measurements because measuring is hard...

I would be happy to share the STL, but I haven't yet as I figure not too many folks have the exact same aeropress setup as I do with the scale and grinder, and I'm lazy (but honest at least!)

 

I got back into GTA Online about a week ago and wanted to know what the best grind for someone wanting to have fun and make money efficiently was. I already had everything unlocked except for the new salvage yard, which I now have, but am waiting until I upgrade it to add it to the rotation. When I started playing again, I came across this comment on reddit which I started with. After playing for a week, I've modified it beyond recognition to look like this:

  • At Login
    • Spin the Lucky Wheel

  • Hangar
    • Buy Air Freight Cargo
    • Sell Air Freight Cargo (if full)
  • Bunker (if out of supplies - as noted earlier)
    • Resupply
    • Sell to LS
  • Security Contract via Franklin
    • Until 20k/day in the safe, then change to payphone hit or security
  • Office
    • Mixed Good Supply Mission from the Front Desk
  • Warehouse 4,3,1,2
    • Buy
    • Sell if full
  • Autoshop
    • Modify Car, Staff deliver
  • Acid supply
    • Buy
    • Activate Speed Bonus
    • Sell if full
    • Work for Dax (if allowed)
      • Until unlock of acid lab upgrade, then remove this, these jobs fucking suck
  • Arcade
    • Safe
    • Master Terminal | Bunker
      • Note if sale is needed (out of supplies)
    • Master Terminal | Nightclub
      • Redistribute Staff if Needed
      • Note if sale is needed due to any staff being idle
    • Master Terminal | Vehicle Cargo
      • Steal Car
      • Sell Car
  • Warehouse 5
    • Buy
    • Sell if full
  • Agency
    • Safe (if near full)
  • Nightclub
    • Enter as passive (guarantees a quick kick-out)
    • Do the quick kick-out
    • Safe (if near full)
    • Sell if any staff are idle (as noted earlier)

  • Things to mix in
    • Cayo-Perico Hiest
    • Autoshop Robbery
    • CEO VIP work
    • I almost always check out the random blue dots

This order works really well for me, due to the location of my warehouses and businesses on the map, so it'll need to be optimized for wherever your stuff is. I'm really happy with the flow for me, especially with how I positioned my warehouses and how the Mixed Goods mission lines me up to hit most of them in a row.

All that said, am I missing out on anything profitable or fun that I should add into the rotation? Could I make it more efficient? Should I add anything from the salvage yard when I get it upgraded? Do you have any questions for me?

Thanks for taking a look!

I'm at a friend's house for the night and was invited to an among us group. Installed among us and discord, had everything working (after a restart) within 10 minutes. I was shocked that simply adding a keybind for mute/deafen just worked. Yet another "it's just a computer" moment. I'll have to get that discord overlay thing working at some point.

In addition, the mic seems to work pretty well without using headphones, though I can't hear myself obviously.

I wasn't considering upgrading to the OLED because I didn't use the device enough, but man, I might...

Is quick reply missing? (self.boostforlemmy)

I'm moving over from boost for reddit, and am missing the quick reply functionality. Am I just missing it, is it actually missing, and is it planned?

Loving the app so far, it's made the transition easy.
