Depending on price I might go for it

I did spend like $40 on a battery for a 10 year old laptop a few years ago so that I could keep using it for troubleshooting a remote network I setup up awhile ago because it’s cheaper than a new laptop.

Personally I’d see if you can find a new compatible battery not necessarily an OEM battery though as being new it’s probably going to last awhile.

Thank you

I’m having to answer from one of my alts because my main isn’t showing the comments for some reason.

Priming is really important for painting minis both 3d printed and off the shelf ones. It helps the paints you use to stick and spread properly.

For the skeletons I used Rust-Oleum primer (both black and grey), Apple Barrel white for highlights before the main paint job, Army Painter Speed paints for the most of it, and Vallejo paints for the weapons. Everything but the primers were acrylic paints.

The priming does a lot of heavy lifting for getting the details properly highlighted. Basically using the black primer for full coverage in every crevice, the grey primer from just the top at a few angles to leave the crevices and under parts dark, and then lightly dry brushing some white paint to highlight the high points and details. Afterwards using some thinned down paint so that the previous work is seen through makes it all pop.

For some prints sanding can be pretty helpful for removing print artifacts and using small files instead of sand paper is basically the only way for minis. These guys I didn’t sand because I felt some of the artifacts added character.

I’m curious about their efficiency drop off if that’s what happens after 25 days.

Not it

For me it’s usually during the winter time that it kicks in. I don’t pick up on it for a few days but making sure that I get outside can usually stave it off for awhile until I have to bust out my bright AF lamp for my morning coffee.

That shits so bright it hurts

But hey, at least it keeps the darkness at bay.

Getting like 5k+ steps of engaged walking per day helps me a lot

Lots of appointments this week and all of them were good news (surprisingly).

This week only has one thankfully and I already know it’s going to be fine as it’s just to adjust some medication up.

I got 2 big tasks done this weekend, a resin 3D print for a friend and painting about 80ish paint swatches for my miniature paints.

Likewise, I was beginning to worry that I wouldn’t find the new place before the old one got nuked

We all try to forget about Google+

I feel you on that

I miss the days of sd slots, headphone jacks, and removable batteries.

Phone cameras are pretty good now though and the Xperia has a damn good one

Hell it even had a headphone jack

Not too mention what even is the point of getting a flagship?

The cameras are great on most phones, the specs are good enough for most people’s use case (call, text, social media).

Hell the last few years the consistently best rated phone camera by users has been the Pixel A series of phones. The budget Pixel phones.

When that music kicks in when you start a game of We Love Katamari or Katamari Damacy

It will always bring me joy

It brings me back to a simpler time of being a kid during summer and picking the game up for the first time with a former friend.

Though that former friend is no longer here, those memories of that summer will be with me hopefully forever.

I had lost those memories (and many many others) a few years back when I had a traumatic brain injury, and last summer when my AC was broken and I caught myself humming a some I didn’t remember. And after a bit of working on the song it clicked what it was from. I listened too a few songs from it and booted it up on my old PS2. And that intro music while sitting in front of my TV on the floor, brought me to happy tears as those memories of that summer started to flood back.

It also doesn’t work in the mobile app, I’d love to see it work there soon too

Join us over in beehaw, it’s super chill and welcoming

A deceptive tactic of the mighty mountain floof.

They will lure you in with their friend shape and then WAM you’re having dinner with them and not in the good way.

Yeah it took a little while to feel the mental health benefits, basically once I also fixed my sleep schedule. But the hardest part was sticking to it earlier on.

I’ve only been working out again for a couple months and I usually focus on body weight stuff and cardio. I’ve never been big on getting swoll just filled out of that makes sense.

I’ve definitely got some old injuries that like to make things tough but I just remember the physical therapy I had to do for them and add those exercises back into the mix.

I follow a lot of niche hobby and some other communities that haven’t come over yet.

A couple have started to shuffle on over but not a lot yet.

I also followed a lot (like a serious amount) of art subs that haven’t seemed to come over yet. I basically followed most of the “imaginary[insert niche here]” subs.

I feel you on the mental health getting in the way of the gym. I’ve recently started getting back into share due to improving my mental health and I’m kicking myself for not going back sooner.

I’m hoping some more niche hobby/profession communities will come over soon. If not I may have to start one and that’s a scary thought.

My main rig and my 3D printing rig are on windows 10, they would be 11 but I’d have to enable to the TPM on both to make it happen and I’m lazy.

My server is on Linux because server. It’s currently running TrueNAS Scale and I’m thinking I might spin up some other things considering it’s got 24 cores and 200 GB of ram it really should be doing more than just being a NAS.

Not enough
