For the past few days I’ve just felt exhausted every morning… besides my bike ride and short walk over the weekend I haven’t had any energy to got out and do anything. I did yard work Sunday and that exhausted me. Maybe I should see my doctor…
@ottaross@rasterweb same here too. Yard work really takes it out of me — I did the same thing this weekend.
Even like 5 years ago when I had an online barbell (strength) coach, he acknowledged a few times, yeah, a few hours doing yard work will add up fatigue that disrupted the otherwise cyclical exercise-recovery curve, and so we had a few missed workout days after weekend yard work hours.
@rasterweb the miles start to add up quick once you’re riding regularly! I’m pretty tired from yesterday’s 8 miles but I hope to be doing my usual 25-30 mi weekend morning rides soon! This weather being perfect helps too.
In #solarpunk news, there’s someone locally on our Craigslist selling used 315W solar panels for $80 each. They have 30 of them — that’s 9.4kW! I just don’t have the space to store them, nor a vehicle to move them; and we already filled our roof with solar. I don’t think our tiny urban lot can host more large panels, just some small accessory lights.
That time in 1982 on an episode of CHiPS where the guy from ‘Happy Days’ played a satanic glam rocker and the guy that would grow up to actually be Metallica’s bass player was “Flippy”, a kid who needed some mentoring from Ponch.
Big downside of the new Ozlo sleep wireless earbuds (which were spun off the Bose sleep headphones) is that the iOS app eats battery with background processing for no apparent reason. My Battery app says it user 20% of battery in a day. Likely just needs more optimization?
The hardware is great though, and doesn’t need the app once paired with the phone. Two nights now, I’ve used them, and they very comfortable. Most importantly, they actually get quiet — other sleep headphones are too loud.
@neurovagrant still the first week, and I don’t have it play audio all night long. Might want to find someone who has reviewed them over a longer time period to see how the battery holds up — I think some of the Kickstarter backers have had them for a month or so now.
@grimmy@rasterweb laser cutter stencils might work better in this case too just because I wouldn’t know how much paint to spray to get the desired effect until I did it, and layers of paint would make lace more opaque each time.
@rasterweb@grimmy have you ever done a rigid stencil with posts to stand off the surface to be stenciled, so that it gets a little “overspray” through the stencil, making it a bit fuzzy?
@rasterweb@grimmy I’m guessing it only needs a little gap to get fuzzy edges that are nice. Otherwise I’ll have to worry too much about angles and not spraying too much.
@rasterweb@grimmy I’ll do some tests with cardboard as well — thanks for that idea! Before I go down the path of modeling a stencil in OpenSCAD or (haven’t learned it yet!) Fusion360
