My sentiments exactly!

Some tips I've found for a successful launch with my Ooni... Immediately before launch, give the peel a little shake (horizontally, not vertically) to see if it slides. If it doesn't, lightly lift up the corner of where it's sticking, toss in a pinch of flour and try again. You can also blow under the corner, which will spread out the flour as well.

Mine aren't perfectly round, but they're getting better. And if true disaster strikes, fold it in half and tell the folks eating it you MEANT to try making calzones this time around...

I agree with the idea of focusing on one integration at a time. I got very frustrated with HA when I first started. Then (since everyone told me how great it was), I started trying just to get one thing working. After I did, I moved on to the next. Now, I'm your typical HA fan boy.

We're going on a cruise next year from Reykjavik to London, with ports in Alesund, Geiranger, and Bergen. I'll have to keep my eyes out for any of the above. Thanks!

I bought a Fresh Roast SR500 extension tube from a Canadian retailer that only shipped to Canada. Getting it to me in the US was a bit of a challenge, I wish I remembered the retailer... While trying to find what retailer I bought from, I found https://www.pre-umber.com/ which might be a good place to start.

We head up via the Eastern Shore to Annapolis with our Motorhome all the time. I noticed they have two locations in Annapolis, and we'll be there for Labor Day Weekend - so I will definitely check them out!

1TB hard drives were on sale, and I wanted to digitize all my DVDs and stream them to my Xbox 360. That was 15 years ago.

Every time I end up with a finicky bluetooth pairing process, I turn off bluetooth on all devices other than the one I'm trying to pair to. Usually fixes any problem.

I use Pop!_OS on my desktop and laptop. Prior to that, I would distro-hop like it was my job. I bought a system76 laptop and figured, why not. So, I had Pop preloaded on it instead of Ubuntu. Here's the reason I ended up settling on Pop as my one-and-only distro.

  • Based off Ubuntu/Debian, which I am most familiar/comfortable with
  • No Snaps
  • Flatpak supported out of the box
  • Relatively rapid deployment of updated kernels (currently on 6.2.6), so no need to worry about hardware support
  • Tiling windows that are well implemented
  • Backed by a company, but one that shares the same values as me
  • Stable, even with semi-rolling release nature of it

The downsides are that their choice of colors are god-awful. I get it, it's their company's colors, but I don't think it looks really all that good on an operating system. I've gotten used to it, and don't care as much anymore.

I've been pretty happy with the Kobalt 24V Max tools. I've got almost every tool you can think of, tons of batteries, and have been 3D printing wall mounts for them.

I bought the lowest level Steam Deck, cracked it open before I even turned it on. Replaced it with a 1TB Sabrent drive. Couldn't be happier.

I've got an Ender 3 V2 that I've upgraded significantly. I am also very interested in a Prusa Mk 4.
