  • Shit. I used Baileys. Is that bad?

  • Also, metal needles or equivalent can raise contacts and do their damage. I cut the toothpicks with a cutter so that they are wedge shaped.

  • Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge

    Jump

  • I have been a Serif user since the early 2000's and Affinity since V 1

    I love the suite, and use it to do pro stuff, mostly typesetting supported by photo and designer.

    Tracing is one of the features I really missed. Now I have it.

    I have the universal license for V2, and it's so good that it's going to be relevant for a while.

    The fact that Canva is, for the time being making it free, and not forcing AI, and allowing it to be optional, is OK by me. If I need AI for a job, I can pay for a month, pretty cheap for what I'm going to be paid.

    I like the situation.

    Canva is essentially making migration from Adobe easy and free, to poach users.

    Win Win in my opinion

  • Makes sense. It was talcum based, which is a pretty bad thing to breathe.

  • Wurth is just a badge engineering company with stupid high markup. I used to own a sign company, and we bought stuff from them. We slowly realized that they essentially sold convenience, a one stop shop formula.

    Give me the real GOATS anytime: 3M, Hilti, any of the big pro power tool makers, etc.

    With the internet, the convenience factor is gone.

  • Yes, but please, get a good one. A crappy one is likely to strip heads.

    Ifixit sets are highly regarded.

    I have a Wiha set, but that may be overkill for many.

  • For swamp crotch, Gold Bond is the GOAT.

    If you use an electric toothbrush, every two or three brushing, use a manual one. Both brush differently, so you will reach more nooks and crannies by alternating.

  • That's when you mail yourself letters from "FBI sharpshooter association" or "Krav Maga instructors association", and after receiving them post marked, drop them in their mailbox, as if it were postman error.

  • What's your favourite niche website that is still running and hasn't changed much in 20~ or so years?

  • The esthetics are +20 years old. While dihydrogen monoxide has been a staple in my dad humor repertoire, this site is a banger.

    BTW, the post was downvoted. My guess is that it was one of the dyhidrogen oxide cartels.

  • Why would you use third party inks in an ecotank? Genuine epson inks in bottles for the ecotank are super cheap. I follow the opposite route. Refillable epson compatible cartridges with ecotank inks. Epson quality with third party costs.

  • I'm a fight simmer, and have used Flight gear. The main top options now are MS flight simulator, with incredible vusuals, and Laminar's Xplane, better flight model, so good in fact, that Laminar has a version which is FAA approved for simulator hours for pilots certification, and still great graphics. Both are way, way better than Flight gear (which is truly amazing for a FOSS flight Sim.)

    If flight Sims are key to your decision making, I would pay for X Plane, a pay once model, that runs natively in Linux, Windows, and Mac, then spec around that. Next decision for me would be the GPU. In Linux most people seem to recommend AMD. I haven't delved into the issue, since I've had AMD for a while.

    My usual decision process is:

    1- analyze needs (programs and stuff that are important).

    2- budget.

    3- decide general specs.

    4- get the best power supply I can afford within budget, gold, active PFC, modular, etc. Spec for at least 20% more wattage than maximum projected consumption Do a bit of research, googling etc. Be wary of ranked lists from established publications, as they are often influenced by manufacturers. So many people don't understand that the PS is the single most important component to ensure that everything else works correctly. Forum/reddit threads are better.

    5- a good case. Fractal is my current go to.

    6- GPU

    7- processor.

    8- board, Ram, memory, SSD, cooling

    9- yoke, joystick (hotas), and pedals. 10 - everything else.
