If the others suggested aren’t quite right for you, you might try looking for an interval timer app. These are generally used for fitness, but it seems to me that type of setup might do exactly what you want if you just set up a “workout” that has a single 30 min interval and repeats.
Someone bought a pallet of returned products and found this as one of the returned products. So what?
It is important to note that this pretty useless concoction of non-working parts – dressed up as one of the best graphics cards available to consumers in 2024 – wasn’t sold as a new model. It was received by an NWR customer in a pallet deal from Amazon Returns.
…
We can’t know for sure, but the product received by NWR, apparently from an Amazon pallet deal, may have been an Amazon return where a faulty Franken-graphics-card was returned and someone kept a good working one. The outward description of a cracked PCB and melted power connector might even suggest another level of deception used to return this switched product.
Just curious since you clearly know a lot about this stuff: What are your thoughts on the heat sinks being a part of the issue? Is there a decent chance the device could benefit from replacing whatever adhesive/paste was used to attach them? Or is that even doable?
Thanks for the details! I’m sorry to say that I don’t know enough to help you very much. I have never tried looking for or working with non PVA wood glues. I suspect that even with PVA glue, you would have a hard time getting boards glued edge to edge stay at all true, so keep in mind you are likely to end up with some warp and unevenness that may show up later…. Actually I just had an idea that I think would work well - get/borrow a pocket hole jig and use that to do your edge joinery. A pocket hole jig is really a great tool that is easy to use. Check this out. Kreg is just the most common brand of pocket hole jigs. There are cheaper ones out there, although I can’t speak to which other brands are good/bad.
It may help if you clarify what you consider natural and synthetic wood glues. Do you mean you want to be able to collect the ingredients in the woods for some reason? Is there a particular type of chemical or other component in wood glue you are trying to avoid?
Also, what are you glueing to what? Right now, I just know that you want a desktop and you don’t want to make legs. Does that mean you are setting this desktop on the frame from your old desk? Are you gluing boards together on edge? Are you don’t joinery? I’m pretty sure that the type of gluing is going to matter, especially if you’re trying to find a glue that has undergone minimal processing.
I just put up an awning over our back deck. Now it’s time for modifications. I’m going to adjust how the straps connect for the fabric so it’s tighter and water runs off better. then I’m going to seam seal and put on some waterproofing spray.
After that, my daughter and I are building a padded bench for a window nook in her room. The design and measurements are done. Fabric and foam have been purchased. Actual work completed: zero.
Voyager has good features for hiding posts as well as marking posts read and hiding read posts.
You might give the Voyager app a try. It’s what I use. It has a hide post option, as well as a “mark read on scroll” option and a button to hide read posts. I think you have to enable the last two in its settings.
The bot they are talking about isn’t trying to hide that it is a Reddit reposting bot. The posts from that bot start with some boilerplate like “this content is copied from /r/blah”.
So if you aren’t seeing this content, there is nothing you need to do. If you do see this content, block the user that posted it.
Edit: the Reddit bot that I blocked is bot@lemmit.online
I found some simple traps which look promising to me here:
https://www.bobvila.com/articles/diy-mosquito-trap/
The first one is co2 based, using yeast.
I kinda like the idea of the last one, especially for indoors in the summer. It seems very simple and makes a lot of sense to me: secure some window screen mesh to the output side of a box fan. Let the fan run. The mosquitos get sucked in and trapped against the mesh until they dry out and die. Spray them with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water if you want to speed up their demise.
That is a great article. Everyone here should click over and read that one!
I don’t tend to use #1 as I suspect that heuristic isn’t (usually) true, although it depends on the test writer. A multiple choice test with 4 answers for each question and randomly distributed answers only has a 25% chance of the same answer twice in a row and a 6.25% chance of three in a row. This can lead you to see a pattern that isn’t there. Granted, if you have no idea what the answer is, it’s reasonable to fall back on #1 and not pick the same answer as the previous. But if you have any inkinling that an answer is more likely to be correct, I’d pick that one regardless of whether the prior or next answer was in the same position.
My general process is elimination. Look at the answers and eliminate the ones you know are not correct. Then tentatively eliminate the ones you suspect are wrong. Now you have a remaining set of possible answers. Of course, if there is only one, pick that. if the remaining answers seem they could be true, pick all of the above or “X and Y” as appropriate unless the answers are contradictory. If there is contradiction, use your best guess to pick a non-contradictory answer.
That’s about it for my process.
Thanks. I just went and disabled it. I also found that they had “products and services notifications” turned on. I know I attempted to disable all advertising and monitoring stuff shortly after I signed up, but I can’t say for sure whether I had missed this section at that time or if they kindly turned it on for me between then and now.
