Robotic 'Third Thumb' Makes Tasks Possible With One Hand; Can Be A Game Changer For The Disabled in c/technology

Wrong, It’s Marv

YSK there is a condition that makes your armpits smell worse called trichobacteriosis that is common and easy to treat in c/youshouldknow

I recently read an actual scientific study that found a direct correlation between smell and the length of armpit hair. So your unscientific hypothesis is actually backed by science. I’m too lazy to look up the source though.

On the moorlands above Portree, this ridiculous view towards the Storr presented itself [OC] in c/pics

Amazing. That’s why I asked. This lighting is almost too good to be true. I’m sure it was only like that for seconds. Good work!

Really incredible photo. Is this a single shot, or composite?

This is a great description! I agree, a meteor large enough to destroy a small country is massive!

I’m curious, how would you setup a docker swarm to scale the cpu when needed?

Yeah, as a photographer, I was guessing it’s not real. The lighting on the dog doesn’t match the weather.

I have no idea why I made this in c/politicalmemes

Funny. I think the real reason is that it’s just not very good at making two people yet and gets confused sometimes. But I made about 50 other variants and I could barely get it to make Trump smile because I assume most of the training data is of him not smiling. I had to emphasize the term “smiling” like 4x to finally get it to work for Trump.

Did you take this photo? Is it a real photo or a composite?

Well, I know it’s not #5, so I guess that narrows down my options

I made my wife a floating shelf out of poplar. The wood has a nice light color and we’d like to leave it relatively natural. I’m overwhelmed by the clear coat options and don’t have a lot of experience with natural wood look. Any recommendations? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Please help me dial in my espresso. (self.espresso)

submitted 1 year ago by hi_its_me to c/[email protected]

I'm relatively new to the espresso game and my espresso always tastes a bit sour... please help! I'm using a Breville Barista Express. From what I understand, the sourness is generally because of under extraction. The water seems to be at around 190-200 degrees, so I don't think that's the issue. I've tried to dial in the grind size so that pulling a shot takes around 25-30 seconds. At that grind size, the pressure gauge is at the very top of the range. I believe if I go finer with the grind, then it'll take longer to brew and push the pressure up higher. I'm not sure exactly what to do to address this. Could it be that I'm tamping too hard? I push relatively firm, aiming for about 30 lbs of pressure. Thanks for the help!

Any great ideas on how to pull the outlet forward without pulling the panel off? I’m thinking I might be able to cut the board enough to get the outlet tabs out but still hide the hole behind the plate.

Can iOS apps leak private data while not actively in use? (self.nostupidquestions)

I understand that apps on my iPhone can harvest my private usage data for things like advertising, selling my data, etc... Is that data only collected while actively using the app, or can it also be collected while the app remains closed and not in use?
