This does not spark joy

Maybe my little DIY walnut cased ESP32 universal remote

If not friend why friend shaped??

The inside - I hope y'all like cable management!

The word "asteroid" literally means "star-like", because when they were first observed, no telescope could see enough detail to know what they were, so they were basically just called "those things that look a bit like stars".

Even when eventually we figured out what they were, they were generally considered to all be spherical like tiny planets (see: The Little Prince) until the 1970s when one of the Mars probes flew close enough to have a look at one.

It's a mini Stirling hot air engine, never seen one that shape before but here's a video of one working

A person and a human? So if a legal person like a company pisses it still takes the same time, neat

Fediversary, of course!

And my axe

A fire? At a sea parks?

How do hens all know what size an eggcup is?

Probably something to do with cholesterol

And it'll only take 10^7 years to pay for itself, bargain!

Bhhaaa the French

Had a little breakdown, quit a job I hated, started a business, got married. It's been a wild ride

That's the boi

Huge if true

Yeah the battery management board is a bit flaky so keeping it charged is a pain! Yeah it's just doing IR for the various living room devices, sound system, TV etc so I didn't have to keep tabs on 4 different remotes

Getting a bit "Nautilus from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" vibes

Thanks! Fraid not, it came together pretty ad hoc as I was building it.

Essentially the process was breadboarding the major components to get them talking and sort out the software, then built the main board to hold everything in position, then built the box to fit around it all

First computer in about '99, which I'd "built" (I was 8, so I mostly just watched while my dad's friend built it and occasionally let me plug some wires in)

First phone, Nokia 3310 in 2003, with a Simpsons case, I think I've got it in a box somewhere...

How would you rate your jumper wire neatness compared with his?

I thought it was style, control, damage and aggression

It's a popular swimming spot in Dublin

Definitely the Enterprise-E absolutely perfect.

Honourable mention to the Roci though

I agree that porridge is a soup, since it's cooked all together. A bowl of cereal's constituent parts can also be eaten independently so I believe that makes it a salad.

Henderson's Relish - it's similar to Worcestershire but hyper local to Sheffield (and it's vegan cos no anchovies) and we're all weirdly proud of it

Is that 25/80% of men will have thinner hair, or 25/80% of a man's hair will thin?

I've got two - a potato ricer, basically a big garlic press you put a boiled potato in, instant perfect mash.

And one of those spiral apple peeler/corer/slicers, makes cooking anything with apple in so much faster (it's a fiddle to clean though unfortunately)

Antitrust (2001)

This is crazy - we also rented an MG Excite in NZ (but on the north island) with exactly the same issues, maybe it was the same car 😆 was yours blue?

Joe Lycett, Stewart Lee, Philomena Cunk

Speaking as a Brit - the country is fine, it's the British who are awful

I read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke recently, in about 2 sittings, it was amazing. Very fantastical and weird.

By the same author, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - alternate British history set around 1800 where magic is real, one of those books that you just live in the whole time you're reading it (also made into a very good BBC miniseries)

There's a person in the top right which might help with scale, I think that section is about 20 metres. The orange plants are bracken after it's died off in the autumn

Weird coincidence - I had a really good Mexican dinner 2 streets away from there last month

Its great to hold! Very chunky in the hand. Functionality wise I only gave it the on/off, volume and input selection from the media devices, and then it talks to another esp32 base unit that controls some lighting over WiFi, but as far as actually driving the media controls I shamefully just use the Google Chromecast controls, I'm not savvy enough to set up a FOSS alternative yet

Spent a drizzly lunchtime there yesterday, weird seeing it on here!

Nah I've got something similar - not exactly like this but the glass tube with heat exchanging mesh and space underneath for a burner is pretty distinctive - then searched "Stirling engine heart arrow" and tons of these came up
