  • Take a look at cement board and the codes for your area for a wood stove.

    There’s certain gap requirements for heat etc but you could rig up something fairly simply whether a box or more open enclosure.

    There are also fire extinguishers that are activated by heat and sit above a potential fire source. People use them in 3D printer enclosures fairly often. Batteries burn for a long long time depending on how charged they are so it would have limited effectiveness.

    This could actually be a really interesting and useful product idea. Maybe a kit with GFCI outlet, surge protector bar with fused outlets, huge spacing between outlets to allow for large plugs, metal/cement board case, wire shelving, ventilation fans to keep batteries cool but have louvre shut to cut oxygen for fires. Hmmm I want this for my garage.






  • Interesting. I just reimaged mine this morning for a very similar issue but didn’t run into any problems yet after restore.

    Mine crashed while playing Uncharted and after it rebooted it would flip to a black screen when launching a game. Stayed black until the game fully launched and once you quit it would stay at a black screen instead of showing SteamOS. If you hit the volume buttons the screen would stay on until the status bar went away. If you managed to navigate to the desktop it worked fine. Screen came back normal after a reboot but problem would come back after every game launch.

    Haven’t gotten to test yet while waiting for games to download. Somehow my sd card got corrupted during the restore so I lost all my downloads.


  • Oh god I know too much about this. Long comment. Sadlol.

    What kind of cast? Above or below the elbow?

    I had above the elbow for 9 weeks once and below 3 times for 3-6 weeks on my right arm. Only below the elbow on my left but 5 times. My bones aren’t so good.

    Above the elbow I played a lot of Warcraft 3(long time ago lol), Civ, AoE etc. Games that only required simple clicking but lots of hot keys to control. Above the elbow cast prevents a lot of you ability to rotate your arm so switching the mouse to your left doesn’t help much.

    Below the elbow it depends if your thumb is immobile or not. If your thumb is free then it’s a matter of buying a cheap small mouse that will fit in your palm with the giant cast bulge. FPS and fast movements will be painful and not recommended but slower games and general use isn’t much impeded.

    Immobile thumb is maybe the worst. Grab a cheap number pad and place it under your hand so you can use four fingers on the buttons. Mouse in your left hand. This severely limits what you can do with a computer.

    Look up some brain exercises to ease the transition between sides of your brain and handedness. Also hold on to the skills you develop in these few weeks. Being able to work right or left hand helps with a lot of manual tasks with weird angles like using a drill under a sink or what have you.


  • Doesn’t anyone else remember back in circa 2011-2014 when ISIS was all over Reddit?

    Like you just be browsing r/Syriancivilwar or r/Arabspring and all of a sudden there’s some ISIS motherfucker just shitting everywhere? Saying the absolute worst things. r/syriancivilwar even had ISIS/ISIL flair for a while. To be overly fair, I did have one really interesting conversation(with a dude who thought I deserved death) about ‘Paulinism’ vs ‘Christianity’ but I don’t think that overall makes it worth having folks like that around.

    I feel like people forget that era of development of mod tools and site policies. r/The_Donald were running into rules put in place to deal with literally ISIS.

    Give yer balls a tug. Seriously. Maybe if you’re being as shitty as literally ISIS then you should take a look at your behavior. Get the fuck out of here.

    It’s also highly disturbing that at least ISIS was honest. R/The_Donald would never admit to their hatred.
