Various Ramblings About Polestar, Tesla, EVs, Sim Racing, and Other Tech-Related Things

Lifespan: Chinchillas have a long lifespan, and potential owners should be prepared for a commitment that could last 10 to 20 years.

Social creatures: Chinchillas are social animals and may benefit from having a same-sex companion to prevent loneliness and boredom.

Special diet: They require a specialized diet consisting of high-fiber hay, chinchilla pellets, and occasional treats. They should not be fed sugary or fatty foods.

Dust baths: Chinchillas need regular dust baths to keep their fur clean and healthy. The dust absorbs excess oils and moisture from their fur.

Temperature sensitivity: Chinchillas are sensitive to heat and should be kept in a cool environment, ideally between 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit (15-21 degrees Celsius).

No water baths: They should never be bathed with water as their dense fur takes a long time to dry and can lead to health issues.

Chewing habits: Chinchillas have constantly growing teeth, and they need appropriate chew toys to prevent dental problems.

Escape artists: Chinchillas are excellent escape artists, so their cages and play areas need to be secure.

Regular exercise: They need opportunities for exercise and playtime outside of their cage.

Veterinary care: Regular check-ups with an exotic pet veterinarian are crucial to monitor their health and catch any potential issues early on.

Quiet and calm environment: Chinchillas are sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements, so a calm living environment is beneficial for their well-being.

Time and attention: Chinchillas are active and curious animals, requiring daily interaction and mental stimulation.

So. Much. Poop.

Seems like every hobby is too obscure for most to care at the level I do. Sim racing, rtlsdr, self hosting, ANY kind of motorsports, home automation, blogging, DND, video games... At the surface these are not too obscure but I find very few people in my day to day life that care about them in detailed way

Torrent galaxy rune release. However not seeing any issues? Malwarebytes scans coming up clean. No integritycheck folder in app data. No hidden process running when game running. 🤷‍♂️?

Beeper.com ? They have a selfhosted option. I'm using the non-self hosted as of today and it's been pretty great. Mainly sms bridge and discord bridge are what I have been using.

Man that's a jump. My issue is leaving the fairly good pay. But I think it's going to need to happen soon.

That's my understanding of it. It is apparently common in the rodent family.

I just posted a similar response but I think the issue, at least for me, is how deep into the weeds I get with each subject. Anyone can be into coffee for example, but it's the ones who do the research and watch the videos about the subject in their free time, that make a simple thing such as coffee become more of an obscure thing. 🤷‍♂️

No idea. I mainly follow tags lol

Yeah Im on Lemmy until kbin has an app that works as well as connect for lemmy.

ATM beeper Facebook bridge works fine. Use it daily. I'd prefer to self host beeper/matrix/bridges but haven't had time to set it up and got an invite to beeper a few weeks ago.

If only their UI wasn't so trash I'd only ever use weather.gov

Lmao I'd be interested in seeing that feed truthfully

Nice. That's a good idea and I'm happy that the BBC is taking these kinds of steps. Followed the R&D account. Thanks!

Looks neat I'll check it out. Would be cool if you could login and it would pull your subscribed communities and then come up with similar communities based on already subbed ones. Cheers.

Wow that's really neat. I'll check it out then. Cheers

That's sweet, how do you like those? I remember always eying them back in the early 2000's

Why would I use that over Lemmy?

Thanks!

Why don't followed tags show up in my feed on pixelfed

That's interesting. How did you come about finding the job? I've done IT my whole life and wouldn't even know what to look for if not IT.

I haven't seen anything. My biggest issue with Rocksmith 2014 was I learned guitar reading tabs and could never follow RS as well as auto scrolling tabs.

I know Rocksmith+ has a tab layout that I tried in beta that worked pretty well. Won't pay a subscription for it though.

I've gotten the automatic1111 Photoshop plugin to work pretty well.

Does it though? Not seeing anything about it
