21·2 years agoLa Quinta?
I’m starting in on sketches of what I want my mask to look like when finished.
Late, but present. I will be making… A Halloween costume. It will be a wearable mask that covers my head and leaves my hands free. It will be open except on the front. I have no idea how I will do it yet, bit plenty of time to figure it out…
Needs fossilized banana for scale…

1·2 years agoMy main question is: what automates pushing new content to my Plex libraries and kicking off a library scan?
Seems like there are lots of apps that do similar things (monitor trackers for example). I just need one that moves content from \Data\Torrents\ to Plex:\movies and tickles it enough to trigger a scan.
Does Overseerr do this?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can you tell me about any lesser-known local fruits or vegetables in your area that you think more people should discover?

Bike Commuting@lemmy.ml•What is your setup for riding in the rain?
13·3 years agoSeattle year round commuter. For my current short commute: a rain cape (poncho).
- it’s comfortable to wear both wet and dry
- easy on/easy off. Less fucking around trying to get geared up.
- I don’t sweat through my clothes because it ventilates like crazy
So many more reasons, but good lord those 3 are reason enough. Putting on still-wet gear at the end of the day is nasty.
I also wear rain-legs. I wear wool socks and sneakers (1 less piece of wet gear to deal with). No gloves (cape deals with the rain and wind).

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What bugs the heck out of you at work but doesn't seem to bother your coworkers?
2·3 years agoGood questions. I own priorities, my team owns operation. Fixing this is on our list of priorities, not high enough to get the amount of attention needed to really fix it.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What bugs the heck out of you at work but doesn't seem to bother your coworkers?
33·3 years agoWe have 3 (three. Three!!) redundant monitoring and alerting systems and have yet to detect the issues routinely found by our customers. Its not because we didn’t detect them, it’s because we have so many false positives we stopped looking (but still run the monitors).
Uuuuuugffhhhhhj

4·3 years agoThere is a steel mill (recycling plant) in my town. They give tours every Friday. I have been 3 times, twice with teams of (software) engineers.
If you want to go see what engineering means when lives are on the line, tour a steel mill. Fucking amazing.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it possible (and economical) to change front rim brakes to disc on a bike?
6·3 years agoPark tool has good, informative videos: park tool
Saint Sheldon Brown is one of the best, original sources for internet cycling knowledge.
Getting doored while out riding, then falling into the road and getting run over by a garbage truck.
I ride my bike a lot. Somebody getting out of the back seat of a 4 door with out looking is a huge danger.
Tentatively raises hand…

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen?
3·3 years agoYes, several times. Surprisingly: my shortest surgery (10 min to remove a device) resulted in about 10 days of serious depression. A shrink says this happens about 10 percent of the time. I wish I’d known this in advance, I’d have opted out. I will be more cautious in the future.
