These are incredible for hiking, hunting, etc

One alone won’t be able to do much but if you need to connect a few people in a rural area it’s amazing.

My only hope is that waterproof models become more available

If OP is attempting a 3-2-1 Backup scheme, this is an irrelevant argument.

OP wants to store a backup in a different physical location while trusting that it won’t be used to train AI. They are looking for services that can satisfy that.

Blue light has a documented effect on our circadian rhythm and melatonin production. It’s been studied quite a bit. I’m sure mental overstimulation is a component, but it absolutely is not the whole story.

In Western society, there is a big focus on silver bullet solutions because people don’t want to address issues in a holistic way. Thus, you have blue light filters instead of turning the screen off.

Of course a 6" screen doesn’t produce as much as a ball of nuclear fire

But that ball of fire isn’t 12 inches from your face at midnight. And, the majority of blue light filter use is targeting sleep quality. A good portion of this comes down to cumulative exposure time. The best solution is to just not look at screens after a certain hour, but no one wants to do that.

Well the good news is Musk said it, so you can be confident it’s a half truth at best.

Realistically, this is a half witted attempt at marketing

The biggest thing is to not be afraid of mistakes in my opinion. You will learn more about how constructions go together by doing them, making mistakes, reevaluating your mental model, and fixing those mistakes than you will by paralyzing yourself with fear.

Find a reasonable first pattern and make it several times. Then find a second pattern that takes skills from the first and adds others. In this way, you grow your skill set to accomplish the things you want to do.

Once you reach that point, try different materials. Learn about how different materials need to be finished, and use that knowledge to modify the patterns you already know. French seams are an excellent tool for this.

At this point, the world is your oyster. I’m currently working my way through a few new patterns, and a wild variety of fabrics. It’s very satisfying, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

This was my fourth shirt, but I recently posted my ninth. I’ve come a long way, and I still make a bunch of little dumb mistakes. It’s fine, it has never ruined one of my shirts.

Oh and one more thing! When you buy a pattern many will be printed on tissue paper, and will have the lines printed for ever available size. It’s expensive, but I have grown to love swedish tracing paper. It’s not actually “paper”, and the idea is that you trace your intended size lines of a pattern onto it, cut the panels out of the swedish tracing paper, and now you have a more durable way to repeat the exact same sewing pattern with whatever fabric you find yourself with. By doing this, you can keep the purchased tissue pattern as an archive. Maybe you need to retrace something eventually, or maybe you want to make the same thing in a different size one day. Regardless of why, you can’t do that if you cut your intended size out of the tissue pattern.

Especially for those of us who run hot!

Sometimes you just gotta have clothing that feels like an illusion to survive the ever-growing heat. I find myself particularly enjoying rayon, which often feels actively cool when I wear it.

This rayon linen blend is like something out of a book for me, though. It may end up being my new favorite fabric

As an aside, this was the most difficult shirt I’ve made yet easily. I attribute this to two factors:

• The fabric having such a fluid drape is crazy. It’s like trying to stitch water together sometimes.
• I have come to dislike fusible interfacing because of the puckered texture it often gets during washing. This uses a Pellon branded sew in interfacing, and is my first time using such interfacing. It worked amazingly well, but was an adjustment for sure.

Ultimately I intend to ask my fabric store more about this particular fabric and what other colors it may be available in. It’s just so glorious to wear.

I play disc golf.

Sometimes finding my disc is a safari

Thanks!

It’s been very satisfying getting better at these and occasionally wearing them into fabric stores.

The ladies running the stores are always taken aback when they realize I’m wearing my own work

The answer to your question is yes

If you have the resources, you can check out Lap of Love and see if they serve your area. They come to where you live so your friend can have a peaceful euthanasia with your company. I favored this option because it allowed my other dog to smell my boys body before it was taken to the crematorium. She tends to be dense, but she could immediately tell he was gone. I really think this helped her grieving process compared to him not being around suddenly.

Euthanasia is the hardest, most loving thing we can do for a companion who is nearing their end.

Thanks! The pattern is “Jensen Shirt” from Wardrobe By Me

It’s a fantastic pattern, and does a great job (imo) of illustrating collar construction.

Yeah, I’m just split between that or an odroid hc4. I wouldn’t even need to buy a case for it.

What model pi? How responsive do you find it?

I’m also in the market for this.

I’m considering setting up a raspberry pi4 nas, and would love to hear pros and cons from people with experience on the matter.

I assume there are faster solutions, but I think it should meet my needs well

Unfortunately, many of us have to jump into a given role and learn the hard way whether it fits us. As an example, I never intended to go into SQA, I just fell into the role. Turns out I love it.

Stumbling into your career is inelegant, imprecise, and frustrating though.

In spite of that sometimes experience is the best teacher whether we like it or not. Good luck out there

Thanks!

I really think a lot of it comes down to using a clearly written pattern.

If you revisit clothing, I hope you find a pattern that accommodates your personal working style

I’ve been in QA for 12 years, and it can be great if you want to innovate (test automation) while also sometimes doing manual work (manual test) to punctuate hard thinking sessions.

I’m not diagnosed as neurodivergent(and strongly suspect I may have ADHD) but do I have a lot of ND coworkers in dev and QA.

This really comes down to choosing for what your ND needs. Spend some time getting to know your brain and it’s particular needs. Identify what you want vs what you need.

Good luck on finding your way
