Saw the title and the image thumbnail and thought, "Man, Colin Hay isn’t looking so good these days.
I love giving my players puzzles and riddles, but I’m not great at coming up with them. They’ll make perfect sense to me in my notes and then when I trying to describe them I realize important bits aren’t clear.
I’m too lazy to take pictures, but I have a synology sitting in an Ikea Kalix and an older laptop mounted to the other side of the wall (that the kalix is against), which is a bathroom in my garage.
We had contractors working last summer and let them use the garage bathroom. After the 3rd day I overheard a few of them developing conspiracy theories for why we have a closed laptop mounted to the wall and with fans that would occasionally cycle up.
This isn’t as useful now that IR is a first class citizen, but the Broadlink integration has a pretty solid training routine built in. I have all the IR devices in my house integrated using RM Mini3’s.
I ended up writing my own Harmony replacement using the AppDaemon add-on a few years ago, so I could have the same sort of activity state machine that the Harmony Hub provided.
To be fair, “if you want cheap chocolate you’re going to have to live with some child slavery,” has been working for Nestle for many years now.
I feel terrible but a sad clown died in front of me.
Doesn’t track. One less clown in the world, why feel terrible? (/s if it’s not obvious).
I’m the VP who actually knows how the things work. So after I solve your problem I:
Write the instructions in an email for the 4th time and send it to everyone involved (your name was probably in CC list, sorry about that)
Double check the internal documentation and add a bit about windows update going rogue
Notice the logs say I’m the only person to ever look at this doc
Send a second email about reading our documentation (now you’re also in the BCC list too somehow, sorry about that)
Get a text from my wife to see if I’ve left work yet
Email our Microsoft rep and CC IT to chastise them about the update but also to see if this violates our SLA so we can get some credits
Check on the status of the SSO epic, since none of this would have happened if that had gotten finished in Q1 '22 like it was supposed to
See no one has been assigned to any tickets in that epic since the last time something like this happened 15 months ago
Spend 10 minutes daydreaming about opening a bike rental shop in Amsterdam
Email the DoE about making sure the SSO epic ends up as an OKR in Q3
Like others, I have a 2 tier system.
About 2TB of my (Synology) NAS is critical files. Those get sent via Hyperbackup to cloud storage on at least a weekly basis, some daily. I have them broken up into multiple tasks with staggered schedules so it never has much to do on any given day.
The other 16TB I have get sync’d (again with hyperbackup, but not a scheduled backup task) to a 20TB external drive roughly once per quarter. Then that drive lives on the closet of a family member.
Looks like Huntarr’s presence on Github is suddenly gone and their sub went private.
I don’t see an ad in there
Every result is for the same scammy looking site.
I learned it on QI

I haven’t been to a Disney park since the early 90s, and everything I hear about the experience now sounds like hell.
My players may be visiting the dons of the animal mafia in a coming session. This could happen.
History suggests they’ll talk they’re way out of it and invite the geese over for a potluck.
You will become like us. Upgrading is compulsory.
I always wanted to be a fly on the wall when they named the colony (later state) of Virginia.
“We should name this place after Queen Elizabeth.”
“Excellent idea, Elizabethia it is!”
“No, no. Virginia. 'Cause she’s never… you know. Wink wink, nudge nudge.”
Makes sense, but it still makes me want to grab a coffee and order its murder.
Printed Solid Jessie filament has become most of my stash, its mid-priced filament that prints like premium. I use PLA for most stuff and PETG if its going to get sun or if PLA would be too brittle. I also use some flexibles (TPU) but each printer is different in how it handles soft filaments, so its hard to recommend.
If you experiment with other types of filaments, be sure your plate can handle it. PETG will stick too well to some plate coatings. Prusa has a good matrix to help.
To be fair, it wasn’t a programmer that got me into D&D… he worked for the QA department.
Tire balancing weights as others have said.
I have also used sand by pausing the print then filling up some of the voids left by infill. But you have to be really careful because you don’t want it in you belts or motors. I usually put the sand in a reusable condiment squeeze bottle from the dollar store and also use a small funnel to make extra sure its going where I want. I don’t fill all the way to the top and make sure all the fans around the printer are off while filling so they don’ blow it around… use tire weights if you can.
What are they cooking with they need to put that into a stud? Was it common for them to set their tungsten rolling pin atop and then hang their lead apron from the edge? Did they have a recipe that calls for a pinch of neutron star?
