I agree. Anyone with starter is going to be delighted to share. A digital kitchen scale for $20 is probably the most essential equipment you may not already have that you'd need for good results, and a bench scraper is handy for this and lots of other baking. I use a dutch oven, but just scissors instead of a lame, and prove in a mixing bowl. Other than that just get a bag of bread flour and try it out!

Just waiting around for tens of minutes wherever you were supposed to meet someone, when they didn't show on time.

Thanks!

Ah, that's what that blue bull with yellow hair is.

some additional details

Gargoyle - always spawns in orthogonally (vertically or horizontally) adjacent pairs

And they always face each other.

Minotaur - a treasure chest always spawns in one of the 8 spaces surrounding him

And they always face away from the chest, but turn towards it when you open the chest.

Dragon - Defeat it to end the game with a win.

Defeat it to get 13 gold, pick up gold to reveal crown, pick up crown to end game. But if you're trying to collect all the gold you can, it's OK to defeat the dragon and keep going a little.

Romeo and Juliet

Face each other equidistant from the center line.

P.S. Syntax for spoiler markdown.

Fun, even works on Linux (Ubuntu) after turning on Proton for all games. I like the level-based design.

that discussion of topics that was more popular on Lemmy, like Linux, would drown out my other interests

I certainly run into that. I don't think I have the energy for multiple accounts, but I wish I could ask for roughly equal numbers of posts from my top 4-5 communities, instead of News + WorldNews dominating everything.

Yeah that one's a mystery to me. Sometimes disappears, sometimes gives you gold. I was wondering if it's related to the blue bull in some way.

I wonder what version of Windows the systems are running.

And that security is by app not by network rules.

Does she have a more upbeat view than Parable of The Sower? I could use some optimistic sci fi (having run out of Becky Chambers).

And sell a lot of equipment to genocide perpetrators.

Having learned more about the patterns, I can see that I should have

explored more near the (hint)6 since that's a Minotaur
spoiler and there will be a (spoiler) chest by it. :::

So with the board state as it was I couldn't necessarily have done better, but better strategy could have let me survive on the same initial board.

Still nowhere near the times some people are posting though.

 

Today, Rivian announced that it is opening up the Rivian Adventure Network of fast chargers to drivers of all other makes of electric vehicles, beginning with its location in Joshua Tree, California. The Joshua Tree Charging Outpost, which has 12 DC fast chargers, is now accessible to any EV with a CCS1 charging port, as well as any Tesla or EV equipped with a native NACS (J3400) port using an adapter. A planned hardware upgrade in the future will add native NACS cables. (Rivian is switching the plugs on its own EVs from CCS1 to NACS in 2025.)

Rivian notes that the new chargers—which are rated at 900 V, meet the design and siting requirements set out under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure programs created by US President Joe Biden to disburse federal money to states to build out EV charging infrastructure in the US. By opening up to non-Rivian EVs, the network becomes eligible to apply for funding under those programs.

 

Found it on the curb, and I liked the design. Looks like solid wood, but the joints are all coming apart and look tricky to reinforce. Would you bother?

 

I found a guide for some CA utilities, and for Eversource in NJ when a property is vacant, but haven't found any references for Eversource in MA. Curious if anyone has experience, but I'm planning to call them soon.

 

Adapter will go on sale via dealers at that point, although from what I read any 3rd party adapter (cheaper and available now) will work as well.

 

I'd like to make our front entryway lights motion sensing. However the wiring is a little complicated. And I'd like the lights to be operable normally if the automation doesn't work for some reason.

There are three light switches: one by the front door, one up the staircase at the landing, and one at the back of the entryway at another interior door. My favorite switch is the CloudFree motion sense switch, running Tasmota, but I don't see it or a similar switch available for three-way wiring.

There are two light fixtures: One hanging lamp, and one track light. The bulb in the hanging lamp is hidden, so although I could swap it out with something smart, it wouldn't be easy to just put a motion sensing bulb in there. And the bulbs in the track light are some small/unusual base, not something I can upgrade.

How would you automate the lights? Grateful for any ideas!

 

I had an easy maiden flight for my Reptile Dragon 2. But despite balancing right on the CG dots, I needed quite a lot of up elevator trim for level flight at about half throttle.

trim

I put my rx at the tail using the extra servo opening.

Rx

Plenty of room for the FC. The PDB install is a little clunky, but the wires are stiff enough to just hold it. I put the vtx up front.

main bay

A little custom trimming to fit a RunCam orange, though after one crash in my Zohd XL I have had a lot of trouble with that camera and will probably look for something else.

Next upgrade is probably digital FPV, but I haven't decided on a system yet. Walksnail? Nice if I didn't need a separate action camera.

 

It took lots of repetition honing, stropping, going through setup, realizing the chip breaker was right on the edge of the blade, repeat, new error. The first picture is progress: small and crunchy, long and crinkley, long and papery.

Sharpening using Atoma 400/600/1200 diamond plates + a strop I had around. I found Wood By Wright's setup video helpful and have been enjoying Rex Kreuger's videos on sharpening and other things.

I worked so hard for these shavings, surely there's something fun to do with them.

 

I made a box joint jig following [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyJof__nTR4](Woodfather's video). It's a nice simple/flexible design for those of us without a dado stack.

First try was very sloppy, but once I adjusted the key width and got my clamps set up better the fit is great. The scraps I had around were bed slats off the curb, which were very cupped. But they actually turned out pretty nicely (after plenty of cleanup).

Wrapping up its first season, I think we're supposed to get a harvest starting year three.

I have two type-k thermocouples with breakouts from Adafruit, attached to a ESP8266 (Huzzah I believe). My oven was very old and didn't come with a temperature readout or any kind of preheating status (but thankfully also no builtin WiFi). The Tasmota device reports to HomeAssistant, which stores data in InfluxDb, which I can then chart in Grafana.

Here you can see the internal temperature got to 151F, and I was surprised to see how much the oven's temperature rebounded after I took the cakes out, despite being off.

The recipe is "Chocolate Lava Cakes For Two" from NYT Cooking. It's one I make semi-regularly, pretty quick on a weeknight and delicious. I have small ramekins so the recipe makes three and they cook a little faster than the recipe's would.

 

I baked "Chocolate Lava Cakes For Two", the NYT Cooking recipe. It's one I make semi-regularly, pretty quick on a weeknight and delicious. I have small ramekins so the recipe makes three and they cook a little faster than the recipe's would.

I have two temperature probes (thermocouples on a Tasmota ESP8266 => HomeAssistant => Grafana). Mostly for my entertainment, but here you can see the internal temperature got to 151F, and I was surprised to see how much the oven's temperature rebounded after I took the cakes out, despite being off.
