  • Oh that’s unfortunate, thats not how they run things here. I haven’t been in a while, but its more like a bunch of DMs and everyone gets randomly assigned to a table. Games are 30 minutes, and then rotating tables. Its more about trying out some different games than anything else.

    They did have a separate night they’d host, but those were reserved rooms (like a conference room setup, TV available for map display). More like a night for regular players to have a regular space to play, but its kind of obvious (with the reserved signs on the rooms and all).




  • I’m not sure you should have a Lowe’s Associate as a legal advisor.

    Here’s Home Depot covering it

    The relevant text:

    Corded blinds are dangerous to children and pets. Roughly one child per month dies from blind cord strangulation, and more than 600 children per year are injured. That’s nearly an average of 2 preventable injuries to a child per day. Between 1990 and 2015, more than 16,000 children were injured.

    New Voluntary Standards

    • The Window Covering Manufacturers Association decided safer standards in January 2018.
    • Manufacturers adopted the new standard on cordless blinds in December 2018.
    • In 2019, all standard model window blinds were expected to be cordless.

    Cordless Blinds & Law

    • Corded blinds are not regulated under state or federal legislation.
    • New, safer guidelines allow for cords on custom-made coverings.
    • Per WCMA standards, custom cords should not be longer than 40% of the window height.

  • So I use a lot of almond flour, but that’s safe for me. My wife is more the baker, but its usually a mix of bobs and almond flour, and for each recipe its a bit different.

    Also been trying out watermelon seed flour. Its sweeter, so it seems good for cookies and the like. Its higher in protein, but also fat content. It also is a bit more runny than almond flour batter, but works nicely for things like waffles and pancakes I think. Still nailing down getting it fluffy the right way, again mixing in some general purpose bobs flour to find the right mix.

    Then you’ve got your brown and white rice flours. The white rice flour is a bit more neutral in flavor, and like the watermelon flour good for stuff like pancakes. For more of a breading kind of flour, or at least more thickening, the brown rice works.

    Not exactly recipes, just some stuff I’m mixing in to try, but I hope this at least helps!







  • I wish I had a solid answer for that, I actually made a post about this recently.

    Deskflow (synergy upstream) seems to be working well at the moment. Bear in mind they just moved all the repos, but Synergy v2 had a bunch of issues, it was dropped for v3, which is just deskflow packaged up all pretty. Input leap is from the people who were maintaining barrier and forked it a few years ago. Lan-mouse is its own thing, and it works, though its a bit clunky to use.

    Right now I’m doing some testing to figure out what I want to use, my concern around barrier is that no updates makes for a security risk, and (for me) it also won’t work with Wayland.

    With Synergy going back to the open base, I don’t really mind throwing them some cash, but its not available yet with Wayland support as a packaged project, so I built it and will be testing more for all of them once I move some things around on my desk to restructure - the whole reason I was looking for something in the first place actually. That won’t happen until a free weekend though, so hopefully this weekend, but maybe the following.





  • He’s even said as much:

    I throw the spaghetti against the wall, see if it sticks, see if it’s al dente. I know the material, and then, of course I want to try it a bunch of different ways. Give the director so much to work with, so many levels of emotion, so many levels of cartoon. I’ll do them all night if they let me.

    To me that is him finding it so fun he just wants to try each part every which way he can and find what works, because he’s truly enjoying trying it out because he wants to try it a bunch of different ways, not because he’s being told to.

    Not “I have a specific thought about how this works”, or even “I know what the director needs from me”, but “This is so fun I want to be wild with it and see what I can do!”. Which to me is what makes Carrey awesome as Robotnik.
