Nice work! $90 and the satisfaction of having built something yourself! Did/ are you thinking of staining it given the wateringv situation?

+1 Put it in a USB3 device and you've got a smoking fast boot setup for as many OSs as you can shake a stick at. Great tool.

Obligatory Princess Bride

I have all that functionality today with FF... Not sure when you last checked, but if you create a Mozilla account and log in to FF you can sync all the same stuff as Chrome does.

I fucking LOL'd, keeping it classy Lemmy

Preach! When did you ever hear someone say "please turn the volume right" or "can you play the up track"? It drives (NPI) me crazy in my Toyotas!

Yes that is the hammer setting on your drill. The next setting is for screwing things in with no clutch release (it will keep rotating while the button is depressed), and it appears you have a series of numbers next which are the clutch settings. These will apply different amounts of screwing pressure before the clutch disengages. Good for when you don't want to over tighten it strip screws.

Well said and reasoned. The vitriol above however, not so much. [Edit] Spelling.

Well that was wholesome! Two humans compromising and apologising civilly instead of descending into shit posting and name calling. I like this.

Check out Fastmail. Pretty much ticks all the boxes, I've been using them for a decade or more. Ultra reliable, good value and constantly innovative and adding features especially in the collab space.

My only gripe with them is their mobile app is online only in that it doesn't work in a cached offline fashion. That can be addressed through alternative clients though and their web app is pretty slick.

Bonus points for them, you can host your DNS with them too and you can manage it all fully integrated.

Do you find the sound of rain and distant thunder relaxing? If so there are plenty of recordings on YouTube and YT music that are hours long and not loops. Search for keywords with "rain forest".

Bingo

In other words, MAGA beliefs only make sense in a decontexutalized vacuum where history doesn't exist and evidence is superfluous to political expediency.

Goddamn this reads beautifully. Eloquently put!

Structurally the idea has some merit. I think the challenge that you will encounter especially in a federated environment is gaining agreement on how to fill that structure and the hierarchy that you're implying and demonstrating. Using the pug example, you'll likely find very little argument on a good hierarchy, but using a more contentious example, let's say gender, how will you gain agreement across instances on what the hierarchy within the data should represent?

Yes you can access Windows shares directly and play the media from there with no issues. I do it all the time.

Ahh Trillian and Miranda memories...

Thanks for the input. To simplify we're going with straight edges (I think it'll look classier too) and I am going to put some dowels in for a bit of additional joinery strength. See pics attached for some drawings. Also I think technically this is just an angled bridle joint, not a half-lap bridle joint.

Now I have a further Q. And that is "how does one cut the inside of the outer(!!) bridle, on an angle to accurately match the taper?" (see the triangle with text labels on the drawing). The offset from horizontal is about 2.5 degrees due to the tapered nature of the horizontal legs.

OK, so here's the update. thanks to all the suggestions - I combined a few ideas, and came up with the following solution.

The observer triggers as items drop, this does two things at once:

1. Drives a pulse extender which immediately retracts the secondary piston
2. Pulses the primary piston after a short delay to push the items into the space that the secondary piston just made

As the clock decays fully the secondary piston fires and pushes the items.

An added bonus here is spam protection - so if items drop consecutively more quickly than the clock decays, it simply resets the clock so you don't get pistons firing together, or too quickly. This way nothing ever ends up on the top of the slime/honey blocks. I've added a front-side view for those curious as well.

Thanks for all the help and tips!

I can't tell if you're serious or trolling! Well played..
