okay, at least i’m not the only one who saw that first, lol.

thanks. I’ll look it up if/when my HP printer dies. Currently it is my main form of OCR, as it has it built in and I don’t have to go looking online for a solution. Outputs to a text file, so no crazy formatting issues either.

I had the Trypticon as a kid, among many other transformers that were very well played with. I know they all went out to some donation place after I’d moved out. Out of the three above, Trypticon should be brought back, and that is my biased opinion.

a yes or no question, not a bunch of yes or no questions rolled into one...

Sainsmart (you used them in a link a while ago for an arduino kit) has Pi deals on right now, and there’s a bonus 20% off until Nov 26th (code is “withParis” - a little tacky, but whatever...). They have a nice setup with a touch screen for $125.99 (screen by itself is $50), plus you get all the power cables, a case…

I’ve painted many rooms and kept many brushes a long time - once you find on that helps more than hinders and it really good, you want to keep it around, especially when you’re the type that easily cuts in and does corners without the need for tape. All I do is saturate the brush to the point of dripping a lot), wrap…

Pretty ridiculous - Those Death star ice moulds are 19.99 US, and I’m in Canada (less than 2 hours to Buffalo, so not very far from the border) and those won’t ship to my address (if they did, it would be $26.64 CDN with the exchange plus shipping and so on). So I looked those up on amazon.ca - they’re $75.44 Cdn…

Every step there is still relevant whether you are using a match, flint and steel (with or without magnesium shavings), or rubbing dry sticks together.... You still need to find and protect your dry fuel and your fire building area.

I totally agree- Although my vision is marginally better with only seeing clear up to arms length, breaking my glasses to use them as tools would be one of the last things I would do in a survival situation. Especially since there is no way to keep the lenses in front of my eyes other than holding them after they’re…

Plasma TVs are about as efficient as the old cathode ray tube tv’s... LCD are the only ones that are more efficient. Regular LCD’s use Cathode rays for back lights though, but more recent ones use LED’s to back light - they are actually marketed as LED LCD TV’s, so they’re easy to pick out.

Nice write up, but did anyone else read the headline as you could build this in under 30 seconds?

Also, can someone ungrey me?

Not sure about where they were in this video, but where I live, you “shouldn’t” pass on a double yellow. You aren’t forbidden, and won’t get a ticket if you do, but it is to denote that the portion of the road it might be unsafe to pass - it is usually painted on areas where you cannot see oncoming traffic. blind…

ending bracket/parenthesis breaks the link as it is part of the link, and web addresses can’t have them present, so the link sends you to a 404 error page. It is still present in both of your most recent replies. So after clicking I took it off, and yes the website looks fine. Many might find it useful. I personally…

While you don’t need a ridiculously heavy maul/axe head, a good weight is better than little weight. If you’re chopping correctly, there should be little effort put in to the downward portion of the swing. Most of the energy put into the swing should be in getting it above your head, and gravity should do most of the…

Makes me feel lucky my daughters eat well. Our main rule is they have to try something at least twice before they can say they never want it again. So many friends of ours just bend to their kids not wanting to eat something, and ours are all up for trying things, because it has worked out in the past that they liked…

You just made yourself a fan, and I rarely go to the trouble of clicking “follow” in the Kinja-verse. My wife is Indian (as in from the country India, not Native North American), and I’m Caucasian - there are some pretty interesting differences in our family gatherings too. And it is a good thing I like curry - it is…

Nice, but I doubt that website exist 6 years ago when the original article and my comment were made? (also, the closing parenthesis breaks your link...)

When my wife was pregnant with our twin daughters, she was perfectly fine with me playing Rainbow Six: Vegas on my Xbox 360 - she actually encouraged me to after about 7pm, it put her to sleep. Something soothing about those incendiary grenades...
