getting drunk and ordering edta vacutainers off aliexpress (for practice. actually i am lying this is entirely for kink reasons. practicing for kink reasons. hi)
@whitequark thank you, now I know how those little tubes are called, and also I never thought about the fact they had to pull a vaccum for them to work, that's so cool :blobcataww:
@Looping Euh ben les Kobo c'est plutôt pas mal pour ça. Je crois que c'est un linux brut dessus, facile à bricoler il parait, et la liseuse est utilisable tranquillement sans passer par un service random en ligne
(commencer à partir en drift sur un rond-point c'est marrant, mais quand t'as une remorque de 13m de long qui suit, c'est tout de suite une peu crispant ^^')
Okay so I've had a thought and connected two dots:
You know how sometimes cultures will produce some intricate and beautiful tools, perhaps sometimes to the point of becoming showpieces?
I'm thinking things like carved combs, hand mirrors, knives, etc... Things that become heirlooms.
And then, there is this object that every truck driver in France, maybe even in Europe, has in their truck: something you put inside the handle of a gas pump so you don't have to keep squeezing the thing for ten minutes straight.
Most often, it takes the form of a block of wood, but I've seen people use some many different objects: a lighter case, pliers handles, a hammer, even a rock! I personaly use a single blind rivet...
And to me, that object seems so ripe for becoming an art form, with drivers trying to one up each other with creativity!
@piggo Nope, in France they still have the little lever (when it's not broken), but they remove the bars it is supposed to catch (you can see the three small holes on the back of the handle in the picture).
BTW, that's why I use a rivet: the shaft is just the right diameter so that I can replace the missing part of the locking mechanism =)
@lanodan Meson/ninja ? Also now I'm wondering if that doesn't create a circular bootstrapping dependency chain, given that python probably needs C and libc?
@Normae Honnêtement, si tu fais ça avec assiduité, j'aurais envie de dire que ça pourrait aller plus vite que ça. Perso j'ai fait ça en mode tdah, où j'ai eu quelques bursts de motivation pour lire de la théorie, et ensuite pratiquer un peu de temps en temps le controle du larynx, en lisant des pages wikipédia à haute voix, mais je dirais pas mal moins de temps en cumulé que 30 min quotidiennemenu pendant 6 mois.
Et avec ça j'ai du passing au tel dans 70% des cas, et il y a pas très longtemps, j'ai entendu ma voix pour la première fois depuis des années (sur un vocal) et j'ai été bluffée =)
Being a trans gal working on the road means sometimes shaving with only a bottle of water and your side mirrors, while parked on the side o| the road ^^
