Oh wow, the wrinkles would drive me nuts.

Also, why extend it vertically?

This is very interesting. Does it clog up with hard water?

Looking at the prices on those filters, wow! That's like an extra subscription each winter to fix dry air. Getting one big enough to get the whole house at once seems good, but 55 to 80 dollars a month is a lot!

We did think of this, apparently too late. I'm gathering from other comments that I am dealing with hard water, and the seals on my humidifiers had already crusted over when we got the Brita filter, so it did not fix the issue

I wish I had a heating stove or fireplace for this purpose, but alas, it's a gas furnace connected to a central air system

Could you link me to one of these bucket or bowl type of humidifiers?

It was a cool mist type, so no wick or heating element. It was dirt getting into the valve that allows water to flow down from the main reservoir to the tray where the ultrasonic magic happens. Kept propping that valve open to let a constant drip of water through

edit, seems like hard water ruined the seal rather than grit messing things up

4x8hours. If the place needs people on site 24/7, weekend warriors should do 3x8 hour days for the same weekly pay.

To be more physically fit rather than becoming a Fitter, try landscaping, concrete work (if you're brave enough to wear a mask for the dust and get called sissy all day long), or farm work if you're interested in a wide variety of physically demanding tasks that are also dangerous.

Edit to the description of farm work

No.

But I would immediately buy a new laptop with a track ball and mouse buttons like this one

I've only seen one irl, and they are incredibly intuitive to use, and you don't accidentally move the mouse while typing

[–] Usernameblankface 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. Weeks to make it, arrange it, and then hours over and over to clean it

I've seen the best results when I stack or pile food around in a doughnut shape, and center the hole of the donut shape on the turntable.

In Copilot Designer, DAL-E 3 Prompt: a knit sweater with mechanic tools all over it. featuring the slogan, "FIX IT AGAIN TONY" and a fiat logo

Bing still struggles with words

 

I threw together some lyrics and had Suno put a voice and music to it.

Also, what prompts have gotten you the best deep thumpy bass results?

I started with "thanks, I hate it" and put it together with some of the other common responses to awful posts that people wish they hadn't seen. The automatic lyrics generator on Suno filled out the lyrics and made it all rhyme. Then I added some more common comments on awful posts. To get around cursing, I used Well That's Fantastic

 

I thought it would be funny to have it generate a country song about city life, and then have it generated in a metal / dubstep style.

as a country song, it sounds like this

I was just thinking about how LLM's sweep up all these words from everywhere and use it for training data, some of it bought and paid for, most of it not.

So I put some lines into Suno and let it fill out the rest of the song. A few iterations later, this came out

 

My laptop charges with USB C, so when the standard charger broke, I just used the USB out port from an EcoFlow battery. The display on the battery said the laptop pulled 25-30 watts while charging. So, why can't I use just any USB brick that can output more than 30 watts?

Is there something that is bound to go wrong that I don't know about?

Are laptop chargers really that special?

I'm looking for a better knife sharpener for my hard steel chef knife. I think whetstones are the way to go, but most of the sets I see are 4 double sided stones. Do I need that many stones?

Is there a totally different type of sharpener that you have had success with?

Edit: I should add that I like my knife very sharp, and I have a few tiny chips in the cutting edge from a cheap drag-through sharpener.
