What do you use to draw?

I draw on a Huion Camvas and I use Krita for the software.

Can relate, when I start infodumping or talking in depth about stuff I enjoy I can see their eyes glaze over and they want to leave.

An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install?? (sh.itjust.works)

You’re twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You’ll be leaving for Grandma’s in about a half hour, and she’s lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and...

Which was discontinued, use Mihon instead, it's an active Tachiyomi fork

Yeah I only found out recently because I had thought that it'd been an oddly long amount of time since the last update. Went to check for updates and the button was gone, so I flew over to the github page and saw the announcement lol

Do you have some kind of subconscious awareness of interests you already have or know you eventually will take deep dives into at some point in life?

I mean like awareness that, just under the surface, there are deep explorations waiting for the right time and place to emerge; things you’ve set aside or placed on the back burner but will tackle eventually/many you already have tackled....

I've been wanting to learn how to work with metal for a while now, my current long time goal is to get good enough to make a rotary valve train for my Subaru motor. I've been absorbing a lot of information about how engines work and how these parts interact I'm just missing all the practical knowledge for it.

A custom head + rotary valve train, the EJ25 uses standard valves with a standard cam design, this is fine, but rotary valves have their own advantages and disadvantages that I think would be fun to tinker with. Unlike a regular valve, rotary valves don't have springs, therefore they don't experience the "valve float" that standard valves experience at higher RPM's, allowing you to rev to very fast engine speeds. They also give better fuel economy since they are much lower resistance, standard valves have to overcome the force of each spring in order to open, rotary valves are just a hole. Rotary valves are also non-interference, and if I blew the timing belt, it wouldn't destroy the engine

I'd also just like to be able to make shit out of metal, it's a brainworm of mine I've had forever

My SO just got back earlier with some gatorade cause they had no pedialyte left. It's the first drink I could drink without vomiting and it was so fucking nice

I'm staying away from most solids at the moment cause I can't keep them down. But yeah I do know about that diet cause someone in my family had to be on it for a while and will probably do the same once I can

I've had the bagel one, it was the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten

People who've worked in retail or foodservice, what are your worst bathroom related horror stories?

I work in a town that has a lot of trucker traffic with very little locals, they treat those toilets like they are just straight holes in the ground, never flush, never clean the seats if they miss, sweat stains stuck on after just an hour without cleaning....

Okay, very specific question but I've been working on my car for the past 4 weeks and in the meantime I had the hose to the heater core open.

I was doing a head gasket repair but had some downtime due to my incredible back-throwing skills, and once I got the heads back in I noticed that there are ANTS living in water lines -.-

They're building walls and everything these squatters.

Anyways besides blasting it through with water, what are some ways I can solve this oddball problem

Today I took my car on the first test drive since I rebuilt the engine. And I noticed that the thermometer didn't turn on, I thought that it was maybe broken, but it turns out that the sensor wasn't even plugged in! Took 30 minutes to finagle the connector into the thing without having to take a bunch of stuff off .-.

What dumb thing did you do today?

Was having a really low / rough idle, finally came around to check the IAC valve, it was pitch black soaked in carbon buildup, just cleaned it now and am about ready to slam it back in
