I woodwork, set up servers, build guns, garden,play guitar, design furniture, and teach others to do each of those things.

I try to do anything that regular people have figured out on their own. If someone can do something without training, I can probably figure it out in a few weeks.

I don't watch things, and I don't use social media outside of Lemmy on occasion. Because of that, I seem to have far more time than the average person.

    Jack Johnson covered Badfish by sublime for a tribute album. I'm not really familiar with his music, but damn his version is better than the original to me.

    And iron and wine's cover of waiting on a Superman by the flaming lips. It's a heartbreaking song in his whisper-singing.

    For a different feel, Tool's cover of No Quarter.

  • Essilor knows how to find good lens products. They've got some great progressives, and maybe the best anti reflective on the market right now. That being said, they are the absolute worst company when it comes to anything to do with technology. Their websites are buggy trash that don't make any sense, and anytime they absorb a company, the onboarding is such a tragedy they lose half the original employees.

    I'd like to look into it more, but this site is frustrating dogshit and has no actual useful info.

    I wanted to know:

    Cost Release/availabilty effort to make and store tokens

    Write it in fucking text. A forced slideshow and videos doesn't make me want the product more, it makes me frustrated with your company, and gives me a barrier to looking into it in the future.

    I want a security camera system that I can trust to be only my own. My requirements are not hugely unreasonable, but I can't find them the way search engines suck shit these days. I want a camera system with:

    Local storage

    No internet connection

    No phone connection

    No cables

    No cloud storage option

    No router necessary

    And the option that seems impossible with the others: No option of remote connections

    I don't want to see whats going on in real time on my phone, I want a completely private recording saved if I ever need to see if I got robbed. I don't want offline ability, I want cameras that can not connect to the internet at all, even through another device. I'm not worried about local network hacking, I want saved video that can only be viewed directly from the local storage. Longish life batteries so I don't have to route power, and no cables that can be unplugged. Solar powered would be nice, but isn't necessary.

    Why is that so hard to find?

     

    I have a heavy crystal decanter I've been using for years. A while back I was having some guests for a week, and thought I'd save some money and grabbed a bottle of Jim beam to put in it, as opposed to the higher end I tend to go for, because none of my guest cared about Bourbon. I noticed the level going down further than I had consumed. This has never been an issue before, so I figured someone had just nipped it while o was asleep. The next day, there was condensation on the inside, and the level had dropped further.

    Since I'd been using the decanter for so long, I assumed the frosting on the stopper had rubbed off and it no longer sealed.

    When it was empty, I refilled it with larceny, my standard, and to my surprise, it didn't evaporate at all for weeks.

    Last night, I refilled it with beam again, and this morning, it had dropped and there was condensation on the side.

    What really confused me, is Jim beam has a lower alcohol content than the Bourbons I usually fill the decanter with, so I would think it would evaporate as readily.

    Why does only this one brand evaporate?

    Quick searching gave me no results

    Tldr: Why does Jim Beam evaporate in my decanter while nothing else does?

     

    I've got a Sony android TV and it... Kinda sucks with the constant 'reccommended content's (ads). Every update just adds more scrolling shit I don't want to see.I want to know what different programs I can try out, and maybe a different os I can put on it. I'm looking at smarttubenext currently, and I want to know of other things I can use to customize my experience.

    Any recommendations?

     

    I manage several computers, and every time I set up a new one I go through the same motions. Install w10, disable a bunch of shit, add the same list of programs, delete the same default apps, setup Firefox how I want it, run through Oosu, disable several services, and add some registry keys.

    Is it possible to have a USB boot media that will do all the tweaking for me? As of right now it takes close to two hours every time, if could just plug in a drive and run the installer, it would make my life a lot easier.
