- Comment on What are some out-of-the-box ideas you've heard of? 1 week ago:
NeutriNote.
It’s only lacking a settable template for new note titles. Something like ‘Note - %d’ to set the current date and time in a new note title would be excellent.
- Comment on What are some out-of-the-box ideas you've heard of? 1 week ago:
Software to remotely control wall-mount airconditioners(sometimes called reverse-cycle AC, or a heat-pump).
Making some modular units that use off-the-shelf components, that can send the correct IR codes to run an AC at predetermined times. Maybe a wifi connection so it can accept remote commands or relay state info about current room temps etc.
- Comment on What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads? 1 week ago:
Things change, and full DRM would hasten that change. YT is a platform, they don’t own the content.

- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 3 weeks ago:
Intermittent fasting, only eat from 10am-6pm.
Early morning exercise, 1hr of walking or cycling. Start 5am or 6am. Medium intensity.
Generally healthy meals. No calorie blowout days.
Plenty of water, minimal fizzy drinks. Soda water is OK.
For added benefit, afternoon HIIT.
Worked for me.

- Comment on Whatever happened to pickup artists? Did they evolve into alpha males or ascend to a higher plane? 3 months ago:
In the 80s they were called PUAs.
I met a similar type of low-empathy guy in the 2000s, who talked the same trash with regard to picking up women, he called it ‘Sarging’.
A cringe and disgusting meeting.

- Comment on What is known about darkrooms? 4 months ago:
There is a ‘Do not enter’ light above the door to the dark room, that you flick on when developing, so that no one comes in and lets light in. Or there may be a 2-door airlock/lightlock.
There are big tongs with rubber ends, to move the photo-paper from one chemical bath to the next while developing.
I forget how to make white-borders around photos, maybe tape each of the 4 sides.

Hey awesome!
You are much better equipped to explain the site culture and node-structure, than I am.
I did read through various nodes during the SlashDot era, but only check-in sporadically now.

- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 4 months ago:
If you let us know the video or article that got you on the diet, we can advise more.
Often diet advice is bogus when it does not come from a dietician.
Some random advice can be harmful.

Possibly the super-powers-from-meat angle you are explaining. 🙃
You may need a longer sample period to identify any changes happening here.
