Yeah I only found out recently because I had thought that it'd been an oddly long amount of time since the last update. Went to check for updates and the button was gone, so I flew over to the github page and saw the announcement lol

Which was discontinued, use Mihon instead, it's an active Tachiyomi fork

I've had the bagel one, it was the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten

Can relate, when I start infodumping or talking in depth about stuff I enjoy I can see their eyes glaze over and they want to leave.

A custom head + rotary valve train, the EJ25 uses standard valves with a standard cam design, this is fine, but rotary valves have their own advantages and disadvantages that I think would be fun to tinker with. Unlike a regular valve, rotary valves don't have springs, therefore they don't experience the "valve float" that standard valves experience at higher RPM's, allowing you to rev to very fast engine speeds. They also give better fuel economy since they are much lower resistance, standard valves have to overcome the force of each spring in order to open, rotary valves are just a hole. Rotary valves are also non-interference, and if I blew the timing belt, it wouldn't destroy the engine

I'd also just like to be able to make shit out of metal, it's a brainworm of mine I've had forever

I've been wanting to learn how to work with metal for a while now, my current long time goal is to get good enough to make a rotary valve train for my Subaru motor. I've been absorbing a lot of information about how engines work and how these parts interact I'm just missing all the practical knowledge for it.

I'm staying away from most solids at the moment cause I can't keep them down. But yeah I do know about that diet cause someone in my family had to be on it for a while and will probably do the same once I can

My SO just got back earlier with some gatorade cause they had no pedialyte left. It's the first drink I could drink without vomiting and it was so fucking nice

I think I actually just got this, got home from work yestecday and my stomach was feelin a litte upset yeah? I kept thinking it was just gas buildup but no! I started blasting liquid ass and projectile vomiting at random. I tried drinking a glass of tapwater this morning, and it all just came back up.

Not fun at all

nice, was thinking about this for a while but I hated writing the MD to whatever GUI framework i used, and a lot of the other stuff is either really outdated looking, or just unmaintained

That's a lot more cookie than I intended but I would probably try to do it

[–] NikkiNikkiNikki@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Chowing down on the cheapest and shittiest cookies i can find. Don't know how I got the habit but I've definitely eaten 2 dozen packs in a sitting before when I was really stressed

I work in a town that has a lot of trucker traffic with very little locals, they treat those toilets like they are just straight holes in the ground, never flush, never clean the seats if they miss, sweat stains stuck on after just an hour without cleaning.

But as I cleaned the remnants of somebody's breakfast dinner lunch off of the rim and floor. I had the thought that this can't be the absolute worst right?

 

Was having a really low / rough idle, finally came around to check the IAC valve, it was pitch black soaked in carbon buildup, just cleaned it now and am about ready to slam it back in

 

For some odd reason I burnout very frequently, or more like I get so brain dead that I literally cannot even come up with an Idea of what to do, let alone act on it. It feels like when I even try to start I get so exhausted that I have to lay down.

It always happens after I'm the most productive, but my down time feels so much longer than the time I get to create. I'd say I have at least 4 days to a week of productivity, and about 2 - 3 weeks of burnout. It's nuts.

The cycle repeats, though it can vary wildly in how long each part is.

I'm starting to get hella annoyed since I haven't drawn a thing in over a year and I was finally getting back into the groove at least doodling daily, just to be derailed hard.

I was thinking that I just lack creativity, but it became this catch-22 of "I have to actually draw with purpose and make things that I enjoy" and "I am so fucking tired that even opening a sketchbook or cleaning makes me want to take a nap / drop into a dead sleep".

What are your thoughts?

 
 
 
 

Today I took my car on the first test drive since I rebuilt the engine. And I noticed that the thermometer didn't turn on, I thought that it was maybe broken, but it turns out that the sensor wasn't even plugged in! Took 30 minutes to finagle the connector into the thing without having to take a bunch of stuff off .-.

What dumb thing did you do today?

 
 
 

Has anyone owned a PocketChip before?

I bought one before Next Thing Co. went under years ago, I have a pretty bad hacked up unit that still functions, but I had lost it.

I had a huge nostalgia trip watching the video from This Does Not Compute and I wanted to pull it out again to use it. It had the demo for Celeste already loaded onto it and the retail versions of that is one of my favorite games. Pico-8 is a fun little programming language, the device was wonderfully stylized, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar good experience with it?

Next Thing Co. could've definitely been really big if it wasn't for the mismanagement, kinda unfortunate.
