I actually really hate knitting, because it's tedious and boring; I'd much rather make something that does the tedious things for me. So I spent like 8 hours designing a machine to knit for me, and when I was nearly done I realized that someone already invented a machine that did this... 200+ years ago. Then I gave up…

"What is your passion?"

1. Most people know what a sociopath is, but nearly everyone things a Schizoid is the same as a paranoid schizophrenic who hears voices, so that is why I give that analogy. I'm not a sociopath, but I'm saying that if I had to describe myself to someone who doesn't know what a Secret Schizoid is, my calculating,…

I don't need to practice empathy, I've got too much of it as it is, I think maybe others could afford to practice a bit more though. I'm a Secret Schizoid, and I am highly empathetic, however, I don't feel emotions that strongly myself. I don't get very happy, or very sad, and I cannot remember the last time I was…

The environment and pace is definitely COD, but the jet packing and abundant AI's that get wrecked by human players actually reminds me of Star Wars Battlefront I/II. You could be a Jet Trooper or Dark Trooper, and those AI's were easy to wipe out as long as you knew how to strafe. I loved SWBF, but it's disappointing…

What I really want to see if a guide on how to make good quality GIFs that aren't too big to upload to hosting sites (ex: Imgur). I always end up with a crappy looking GIF, or one that is like 8 MB.

I haven't actually used RobotShop before, but it looks similar to other sites that I get parts from. I like Adafruit for parts and some tutorials and Inventables for materials and tools (and stuff for my home made CNC machine).

I actually already do make robots, and it's a blast.

If used for evil, a video game truck would be the most effective pedophile vehicle ever.

No, I mean like doing the work of getting and making the food for me. So... a restaurant.

Somehow a girlfriend a couple years back convinced me to knit with her. After trying it and hating the monotonous, repetitive nature of it, I stayed up late and attempted to design something that would do it for me (I'm no electrical engineer, but I make robots as a hobby) and at about 4am I realized that I just…

Not so much a way to have them fix their own computer, but rather to not rely solely on you. Make sure they know who they should and shouldn't trust when it comes to other people/businesses who will fix it, and about how much they should be paying (or if they should be getting it for free if there is some kind of…

Mostly for me, since I do IT and love to program to automate things, programming has made physical redundant tasks unbearable because I can't make a script to do it automatically.

To do more powerful things, you need to stack shields. Currently I've got a project to make a small robot powered by Arduino, and it uses two Motor Shields for 4 motors, and an USB Shield that I plug a usb bluetooth dongle into so I can control the robot with a PS3 controller. I've also used a XBox 360 controller, but…

Java is kind of a bitch, and the Ardiuno programming is not as easy as Python, but I found it much easier than most languages to use.

I don't disagree that men in movies are over sexualized as well, but I think the main flaw with this argument is that I can think of plenty of actors that would be considered ugly or at least not very attractive, yet are highly skilled actors in huge roles (Philip Seymore Hoffman, Steve Buscemi, Christopher Walken,…

I didn't follow an exact guide or anything, but most of the Arduino electronics and coding is based off what they are using for the ShapeOko project. I did all of the mechanical things off my own designs though (for one, mine is 4'x4' rather than 8"x8"). I highly recommend looking at the awesome things they have done.

I made my own CNC mill (2.5 axis) with an Arduino. It uses a DeWalt rotuer as the spindle, so it's not the most powerful CNC, but it gets the job done for my personal projects, like building a small robot powered by an Arduino.

I scored high on this, but I think it's thrown off by my Schizoid tendencies. For instance: I am highly empathetic, however, I don't feel emotions that strongly myself. I don't get very happy, or very sad, and I hardly ever get angry. All my emotions are lessened. That makes me very analytically and perceptive though,…

Good, being a troll isn't always about being a total dick. I'm glad that most of those people caught the trick before it actually signed them out. Plus, we got to hear them freaking out rather than it just disconnecting them.
