Shooting small Mancunians in the face with an over-powered stapler.

The drone idea is pretty smart, could just have it trying really hard to locate any objects near it, and happen to fly it past every camera in your area

Chinese cars built with LiDAR are supposedly damaging cameras on road networks, and those lasers are extremely low powered compared to, say, a laser pointer.

I’m so used to everything we do being another stride into a dystopian hellscape that it took me a moment to realise that this wasn’t (in any immediately obvious way) the government helping the fuel industry. This treaty is absolute nonsense, and should never have been ratified in the first place, so this is actually good news, unless they’ve somehow thought of something worse to replace it with

Joplin looks pretty damn good, my question is about the diagram function - basically, I take on more than I can manage, and have made my life a bit of a tangled hellscape. I’m looking to visually organise the physical projects I have started, and see which parts are holding up other projects. Essentially, columns of blocks for steps to complete one thing, each block being its own note, and visually showing if there are steps in other columns on which this block depends, or depends on this. Can it do that?

The way you describe these programs, and their websites suggest that they’re actually going to be way more useful than just my intended use case, I’ve never really considered replacing my basic notes with something like this. I used Evernote for a while, but they made more and more features paid, and it got much less useful in comparison to the iOS notes app, so I’ve just stuck with that for ages. What you say about a mature app with continued support really matters. Photobucket are working their absolute hardest to prove that point at the moment.

Is it by smashing stuff together until they break something fundamental, and the universe goes dark?

Well I never knew that! Nice explanation, thanks

 

I take on or start too many projects, and often get to a place where they’re so intertwined and tangled that I just stall.

Is there a simple free project organisation app that would help me last the chunks of what I need to do out, and see which ones are holding up parts of other projects? It might make me feel less like I’m slowly being buried alive buy my own choices

 

I shoot on m4/3, so most of my filters are small. Most are 46mm, and the largest are 58mm. All the filter storage options are either large folding jobs that are long and wide, or are sort of stacked up but for large filters. I’d ideally like something like this, but for filters half the size.

What’s your best filter storage solution for say 10 filters, either 46mm or 58mm?

 

I have a feeling I know the answer, but thought it worth an ask, so here goes - I’ve not used FB in years, and generally try to keep fairly private online (Mullvad, librefox, etc) but I’ve found I’m missing out by not being able to use FB marketplace. If I set up a fresh account, and don’t use the social side of it at all, is there a fairly safe way to use Facebook? In a container, or in Mullvad browser with nothing else open? Or an an extreme, in a VM?

 

Hi all.

I’ve been looking for a pretty idiosyncratic Bluetooth speaker. Something that sounds good, isn’t in any way smart, and is just mains-powered.

Basically, I want something small for my small bedroom. No batteries to die, no unnecessary “smart” nonsense, just a fairly decent sound to listen to music/radio or podcasts from my laptop or phone.

Any suggestions?

 

I’m starting to design a quite large solar pergola, to be built in the southern uk. Has anyone got any advice on the different methods of adding waterproofing between panels? And/or any general tips or experiences in constructing the pergola?

 

The “block community” feature is pretty useful, but there are so, so many communities for the American hand-egg teams that blocking them individually is pretty tiring. Is there just an easy way to block the whole instance? It would also be pretty good for a few other instances I can think of.

Also, Memmy quits randomly pretty often, without any error reporting or anything. Is this common, and can I fix it?
