Sadly sorting on new also has its issues with the auto updates and content getting pushed down automatically. I'm hoping that gets fixed soon.

While I won't deny this is a bit disappointing because the ADHD community on lemmy.world seemed to be a decent one, I understand that this decision is you doing the best work you can with the tools you have. Let's hope that the Lemmy codebase can expand to allow for finer granularity.

Yes, I did. It was €150 from Banggood. I personally feel the cost is justified because the alternative is printing hundreds of pages and taping those together, which is high in ink cost and opportunity cost (it takes a while).
However, I do primarily (almost exclusively) use digital patterns so I use the thing very often. If you also use regular paper patterns I would imagine the value might be less.

I have first lobes on both ears and since last month a helix/flat on my right! I am quite sensitive to nickel so for most of my life, I tried having earrings but always reacted badly. I didn't get my lobes properly done at a piercer until 2021 and them using titanium helped. My right lobe is still finicky but we're working on it.

Currently playing the Ace Attorney Trilogy! I'm also eagerly waiting for Next Fest to start tomorrow to try out various demos.

To get the right size, it's a matter of selecting the right layer on the pdf. I usually have to make adjustments due to my waist-hip ratio and I use Inkscape to edit the files. A lot of indie pattern makers have started supporting projector friendly files. In terms of distortion, you always start with a calibration phase where you project a grid (usually in inches) and adjust pdf zoom & project settings (in case of skew) until the grid matches your physical measuring tool (mat, ruler,...). Then it's a matter of noting down the zoom percentage and opening any pattern pdf at that same percentage. These files often come with a small little grid on the side as well for a quick double check.

We met via tabletop RPGs and that's what we still do every two weeks but if we're hanging on Discord it's mainly Overwatch but also Wildermyth and Mech Warrior.

Currently re-playing the Ace Attorney Trilogy as I got it on Steam during the sale. I played them back in the day on the DS and it's been a blast. I just checked out Jack Jeanne - it seems to have some sort of skill building aspects to it? I've been looking for a stat builder otome but there isn't much out there.

If I have to pick an absolute favorite, old Neopets. Having the little webspaces there is what got me into coding as a kid and I ended up studying & working in IT.
If I can pick multiple, I'd also add phpbb forums of yore, game guides with ASCII art maps, Flash games, and MSN Messenger.

Thanks! I'm actually going to swap it out for a Buddha Jewelry Mini Valentina when I downsize. That piece wasn't in stock when I got the piercing so I've been wearing this Industrial Strength Marquise Fan in the meantime. Now the question is what I'll do with the piece... Maybe a second lobe? Or get another one and wear them in my first lobes. Decisions, decisions!

It's a native 1080p. If you're on Facebook, there's a group called "Projectors for sewing" that has a lot of information, they recommend a min. res of 720p. In the US there's a big market of second hand projectors but it's trickier in Europe, which is why I ordered a cheaper new one (Wanbo T2 Max).

I use both but I'm terrible at taking meds regularly (ha, the irony!).
For losing track of time during meetings/focus sessions, I use a Time Timer to visually see time passing by/showing how much time is left.
For reminders, I use Due on iOS (+ Apple Watch) as it continues to send reminders until you do the thing and check it off.
For to-do lists, I use both paper planning with a bullet journal-esque notation as well as a whiteboard for "temporary" planning, like creating a prioritization matrix, as it allows me to shift things around more easily.

Yeah, their interview with Christian Selig was an interesting read as well: Apollo’s Christian Selig explains his fight with Reddit — and why users revolted

I use it for recipes! I use the iOS app Mela for recipe storage and it has a built-in RSS feed system to follow recipe blogs so you can easily add new recipes to your collection without having to visit all the sites separately.

It was definitely some educational game, I'm quite sure it was "Leer 't lekker zelf", edutainment from the Netherlands. You had to subscribe and you got a new disc every two weeks. I just looked it up and people have actually archived it online.

Reply to wrong post bug :(

I tried looking into the printer/plotter services but sadly it's very expensive in my country, which is why I started on the whole projector adventure in the first place.
Fabric shifting can indeed be an issue. For this stretchy knit I used just two weights but for things that are more slippery, I put weights all over to keep it as flat as possible. Using a rotary cutter also helps a lot.
