  • Thanks for making that comment. I recently thought the exact same thing, started a post but then deleted it, because “the internet” and all.

    But the feeling was just about the same: I wanted to start a conversation with people that care about similar things as I do. It’s good to see that it happens.

    Regarding scroll saws: I recently found a Proxxon DS230 on a thrift haul. Don’t bother with that model, it sucks. Now I’m in that weird spot where a potential new activity / “fab method” might have been ruined by a shoddy tool.









  • Funny enough, I also used Sensirion sensors for mushroom cultivation, even had a mobile dashboard using MQTT dash.

    After a couple of years, I went back to basic “gardening” to focus on the essentials, but it was interesting for a while. Unless going commercial, I do not consider the sensors to have added significant value beyond providing an interesting side project.


  • It might also be the other way around. There are plenty of people who are really introverted, so social engagement still drains their energy, but while it’s happening, they can be/appear extroverted, charming, outgoing, sometimes at exponential extra cost.

    The difference between intro- and extraversion is not simply the ability of a person to talk to others, their (perceived) “shyness” etc., but also encompasses how they regenerate, what and how much stimulation they prefer and what kind of company they need and enjoy.






  • I have absolutely done that in the past, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I can slice off exactly how much I want, getting a good feeling for the portion size. The noodles stick together, there is no unfurling and subsequent mess when transferring them to a dish. They’ll loosen up a bit when heated, but stick together enough to offer a superior eating experience - just cut a piece off and consume.
