I'm not part of your system, MAN!

Rub some butter on their feet and have them carry a wrinkled potato around with them. Guaranteed to keep the flu away. For a cough, it's potatoes on the feet and butter in the hands.

They're like Maltesers

The oil filled ones are still conductive/convective. They heat up the air that is directly in contact with them which then spreads around the room. You wouldn't feel the heat radiating out from across the room, for example, but if you touch the surface, it would be uncomfortably hot.

For me it wasn't about the graphics, but about the playtime. I got it at about the same price a couple years back. Took me less than 4 hours to finish the main game and DLC. That's not something I want to pay $20 for.

They see me rollin'

Which is kind of funny because of miscommunication, they thought they were naming a grisly bear.

It's easy to say that, but the GOP already got their man on the inside there as well with Louis DeJoy.

Having friends and socializing is fun, but I don't necessarily want to do it for 5 consecutive hours. Even at a party, it's nice to take a break and let my mind rest for a bit.

I think the point is we all know people who would.

Gamescope and PS4 controller (self.linux_gaming)
submitted 4 months ago by scutiger to c/linux_gaming
 

I just bought a nice OLED monitor and I'm trying to take advantage of it to play my games in HDR. If I run my games in gamescope, then HDR runs fine but my PS4 controller doesn't work. If I play without gamescope, the controller works, but HDR does not.

I've been trying to figure this out for a bit, and some people have been having some luck with the -e flag, which does nothing for me.I've tried Steam Input and overlay in all combinations of enabled and disabled and I've tried in big picture/gamepadui. Either way I have to choose between HDR and the controller. Has anyone gotten this to work?

 

I modeled an object in Blender intending to print it, but when I import it into PrusaSlicer or Cura, the dimensions don't quite match.

In Blender, the dimensions are 178mm x 142mm, but when I import it into Cura or PrusaSlicer, it imports it as 180 x 138mm. I can manually adjust the dimensions, but why is this happening? And will it mess up my fit in the end? Who do I trust here? I don't want to waste hours printing for nothing.

 

I've been listening to this a bunch lately. This is the cleanest-sounding concert recording I've ever found on youtube.

 

I want to put grilled paneer, arugula, and salmon roe on a cracker as an appetizer or early snack.

I feel like the salty/umami roe with the bitter/peppery freshness of arugula on the grilled paneer would taste nice. In terms of texture there would be the chewy/squeaky cheese, the crispy cracker, and the pop of the roe.

I'm thinking a cracker like a triscuit, but I feel like they're too thick for what I'm trying to put together.

Anyway, before I spend time and money to make a concoction that tastes like garbage, does anyone have any opinions or suggestions?

 

I have a model I want to print that has multiple layers of internal walls. They are useless and can't be seen in the finished product, like a hollow cylinder inside another hollow cylinder.

I can't seem to figure out how to prevent the slicer from including those useless parts. I've tried with Cura and PrusaSlicer. Is there another tool I should be using for this?

I just got my printer, got it all set up, followed all the instructions, and it looks like it should be working, but it's not.

I've gone through the auto bed leveling, then adjusted the height with a piece of paper. Now, trying to run my first test print, the only thing the printer will do is attempt to auto-level itself. If I let it go, it will just do it over and over. If I hit the stop button, it gives me error message 203 (Probing Failed), the screen locks up, and the printer keeps attempting to auto-level over and over. The only thing I can do is turn it off.

What am I missing?

Edit: So it turns out the included test files are no good. I downloaded a benchy and it printed just fine.

 

When you make something that's too big for your printer, how do you hide the seams from bonding when aesthetics are a priority?

 

This is one of two habanero plants I started as an experiment a couple months ago. This one has about 40 peppers growing on it right now and a ton of open flowers.

It spent most of its time in a tent, but I brought it outside about a month ago, and it's taking quite a liking to real sunshine.

 

Anyone have any experience playing over Steam Link on wifi?

It seems like no matter what I do, the performance is really shitty. Both the host and the client are in line of sight of the router, and I can get 500+ mbps and my latency seems good, but the performance is garbage. As soon as I go wired, I can get great performance at 100mbps or less.

Is there a good way to mitigate this? Am I doing something wrong?

 

I found the Kharaa antidote in the pengling cave, and I got the voice lines confirming it, but it never unlocked the blueprint for it and I can't craft it. Is there a way around this, or am I missing something else?

I didn't want to look up spoilers, but I couldn't find the injectable vessel after I found the vaccine itself, so I looked it up and it said it unlocks after you find the antidote in the cave and you have to craft it.

This is new since yesterday, I don't know what's happening. My PC has been partially powering off suddenly and without warning. My displays lose input, my peripherals turn off, and the computer stops responding to everything. It's still "on" with fans spinning and the power button's LED is lit, but won't respond to holding down the power button to force it to shut off. The only thing I can do is turn it off at the power supply or unplug it.

I thought it was a one-time thing, but it happened again today. I've never seen this before. Anyone have any insight into what's happening?

Edit: I ran a memory test which came out clear. I ran stress tests on CPU & GPU, which didn't cause any issues. My temperatures have always been fine, with nothing ever going above 75 degrees. Eventually, the BIOS lost track of the date/time so that pretty much gave it away. The computer eventually stopped booting entirely, so I replaced the CMOS battery and everything seems to be running fine for now.

For the record, replacing the battery on an ITX build without taking the whole thing apart is somewhat of a pain.

 

I want to build a simple wall shelf to hold a projector and probably a few other small things; no heavy weights.

I have some cheap 7" x 9" shelf brackets (just L-brackets) that I was thinking of screwing into 3 studs and getting some kind of 12" x 36" board to span the three brackets with a bit of excess on both ends.

First of all, is this a good plan? Are my brackets good enough for what I want to do/is there a better or simpler way to do this? This is a rental, so a few easily-patched screw holes are fine, but I can't do anything major or permanent.

And second, what type of material do I want to use for the shelf itself if I want to avoid bowing/sagging in the longer term?

Thanks for any help.
