@ancient_james Fascinating project! Love to write it up for @hackaday -- any build info (schematic, BOM, etc.) would be much appreciated. Thanks!

@idlehandsdev @witnessmenow I had a lawn service guy stop by the house trying to sell me his services, explaining to me that "clover is bad for your lawn." I said, "If fixing atmospheric nitrogen and attracting pollinators are bad, I don't want to be good."

@witnessmenow Some people seed clover now

I'm being garden shamed

@hackaday Cool, we're actually having @botzendesign Eric Strebel on the Hack Chat on Sept 8 to talk about industrial design. Should be a fun one!

@CNC_Kitchen Cool, I have a Cetus that has been sitting idle since I converted to Linux. Might be nice to rework the machine so I can run it again.

The Cetus Mk3 how it always should have been: QUIET! Added a Mellow FLY RRF E3 with TMC2209 and its finally a great machine! Full video hopefully after my (next) holiday.

@witnessmenow For me, the lesson that was seared into me -- literally -- was not to reach for the iron without looking. I was about 12 when I permanently altered my left thumbprint by doing so. I could actually feel my thumb melting around the tip. Smelled just like you'd imagine too.

Biggest improvement to my soldering was probably learning that in most cases a pointy tip like shown in the image is probably not the right choice. Closely followed by use more flux.

@UsagiElectric Well, that's because you have a robot making your PCBs, while your assembly is still stuck in meatspace. Time to up your game and Elon yourself an anthropomorphic helper. Or, you know, build a pick and place.

Usagi Electric PCB manufacturing has outpaced Usagi Electric PCB assembly by a fair amount... #pcb #milling #vacuumtubes #computing

@OpenInsulin - I'd love to talk to someone there about doing a #HackChat re: open-source insulin. DM me or danmaloney@hackaday.com

Thought you might enjoy this @idlehandsdev

@JeremySCook 4Runner, Gen 3. It was a stretch to afford at the time, but I learned "buy once, cry once" a while ago, and it has paid off in buckets.

@DPMHackaday Wow, have heard good things about Land Crusiers (I think that's what that is). Had a Tacoma for quite some time, not as old, but great truck.

Sending my son off to college in the same car he came home from the hospital in when he was born. That's got to be some kind of achievement unlocked.

@JeremySCook Amazing vehicle. Been keeping that thing going since 1997 with little more than gas and oil changes and tires. Think I put in a starter once, just replaced an original shock, did the timing belt a couple years ago, and replaced a rusty bumper - thanks New England

@DPMHackaday Impressive. Toyota I see.

@idlehandsdev Right? It's surprisingly easy to get the fire department called on you for something like that.

@DPMHackaday Will be awful, going to isolate the area with plastic and the saw I’m using has a dust attachment but no water unfortunately. Used to do brick and stone work, we would have 5 saws going in someone’s backyard @ same time. You could spot the dust plume rising from a few blocks away

TIL concrete chainsaws exist. I've only ever used the chop saw style.

@idlehandsdev I cannot overstate the amount of dust this will generate. We used one to enlarge a window opening to a door opening in a 10" thick foundation wall, and it was impossible to see after about the first 5 seconds. Be prepared.

I may or may not be thinking about cutting the door to my third basement room sooner than later.

First day of vacation is going great so far...

Hey @adafruit - am I doing this right?

@hackaday We also had Seth on for a #HackChat. He's had an interesting career, and we had a great time discussing it: hackaday.io/event/166733-d…

Hollywood depictions of user interfaces often go on to inspire the real thing. Here's a look behind the curtain. hackaday.com/2018/10/29/set…

@hackaday How have we gotten this far without someone stating the obvious: "Should have used a 555."

It's rained for three days straight, the ground is soft, and this is stuck in your front yard. You can't tear out the fences and so there's no room to simply tow it out. What's your move, hacker?

#HackChat today on @hackadayio with @adafruit! We'll be simulcasting on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=rnw1mx… And spoiler alert: we'll have a cool giveaway too!

@BenKrasnow @FutureJurvetson Just finished reading Mike Collins' book "Carrying the Fire", and he said the hydrogen bubbles dissolved in the potable water produced by fuel cells made for a very "aromatic" atmosphere in the command module. So you'll have that to look forward to.

An Apollo program fuel cell from @FutureJurvetson's incredible collection. Once at operating temperature, it requires only H2 and O2, and produces around 28V at 50A along with drinkable water. We're planning to get it running again! Would be fun to drink water from Apollo :)
