That can help a lot with linear boards, but if you try to force this thing to dry only through the side grain, it’s almost literally never going to dry.
The other poster who recommends guiding the checking is onto something, but “rustic” (or something building upon that) is really going to be the only viable aesthetic here.
Yup! We called the good ones “happy secrets,” and they’re perfectly okay.
Yup, at least a year and probably more, and it will split because that’s what giant “cookies” like this do.
Yup, that was really the beauty of the thing. Twelve year old boys may have fucking loved it, but everybody found something to enjoy, and while I think the “saved in the edit” is a bit overly revisionist, it gets at the essential truth that unfiltered Lucas is worse than collaborative Lucas.
With George Lucas and interviews there are always two things things to keep in mind: first, he will inevitably oversimplify in a “draw the rest of the fucking owl” way that makes its success seem like an inscrutable miracle of personal genius that minimizes the contributions of his colleagues; and second, he will say some shit that’s completely different from the last time somebody asked him the same question three years earlier.

Thank you for your consideration.
It would be annoying and some relationships that have withered might finally be snapped off and thrown away, but honestly while I appreciate the opportunity to say stuff online that I generally wouldn’t want to be public knowledge, I say nothing that I couldn’t handle being public knowledge. Probably a good rule of thumb, TBH.
Yeah, one of the interesting things I’m learning here is that a lot of folks just don’t see much value in something that shows formatted text but also obfuscates the encoding that lies behind it. It probably says something about me as a person that I want to style my text while doing first drafts, yet here we are.
What distro/configuration did you use on the Zero? Right now, I’m fighting with mine to get something that loads fast but preserves the killer feature of Wordgrinder for me, which is the “proper” display of bold, italic, and underlined text.
I’m not sure to understand your requirements in regards to Markdown ‘behind the scene’? I mean, if you don’t need visual preview you should be able to use any text editor or word processor and save your work as a text file, right?
It’s more that I don’t mind if the file format is markdown. I just don’t want stray asterisks and dashes visible on my doc as I’m editing it, but I want to have the option to use some of the style choices markdown offers. I’m also going to be running this on a pretty weak SBC, preferably with no mouse, so LibreOffice is not my first choice. From what I’m seeing, I am beginning to think I’ve identified the best apps for my use case to try out, between Wordgrinder, Word on DOSBox, and either AbiWord or Focuswriter in X11, but I was wondering if I’d overlooked some cool terminal-based word processor.
I used an old ThinkPad (X220) that was more than powerful enough to smoothly run LO (edit: with whatever was the latest release of Debian), hooked to an external display because its own display was shitty at best.
Mine will begin life as the ARM SBC screwed to the back of a 9” display and using one of my mechanical keyboards. If it works well, I’ll design and print a case for it, and maybe design a keyboard specifically for it. It’s as much an electronics tinkering project as a writing one.
I don’t remember exactly what I ordered, but it was from an independent shop and I think I picked the middle out of five options. I’m going to give it the full three weeks, but the narrow intermediate distance band, the swimmy effect on the near band when I move my head, and the dead zone in the lower corners are all very irritating.
The prescription itself seems spot on; it’s just how the progressive is laid out. It’s on me for not realizing that aren’t just sort of linear, but it is — well — mildly infuriating.
For the record, I’m very myopic, -2 and -4.25, with a fair amount of astigmatism, and +1.75 near. My last pair had like a +.75 but I don’t recall the same issues.
Very cool, though JFC there’s no way MY printer will be fine tuned enough to generate the channels. The whole process reminds me of the rednecks who pour molten aluminum down fire ant hills, in a good way. The sealing with glorified Elmer’s glue is also clever.
Now all that said, you wouldn’t want to make anything that’s going to have much contact with water, so a lot of typical applications are risky: “My PCB is leaking!” I do wonder if you could do the same thing, but less immediately recyclable, with PLA and a 3D pen.
Typora is a good looking app, but I think I’ve probably got Focuswriter in mind if I go with a full graphical environment. Typora is also a “proper” markdown editor in that it’s not hiding the code characters, though I like how it also implements them in the single pane. I can’t seem to find a way to turn that off, and it’s counter to the idea here, which is not quite WYSIWYG, but definitely farther in that direction. Thank you, though!
Obsidian is a bit heavy for what I’m after, which is barely a step above a “digital typewriter.” I’d definitely have to run a window manager or DE, and I’d have to hide much of Obsidian’s functionality anyway. Thank you though!
It didn’t quite make me cry, but the ending of Planescape Torment got me right in my feels.
Fair enough. I think it’s also pretty annoying that Doctor Strange there looks like somebody just gave him a handful of ass pennies.
Looks like it’s back up, but the TL;DR is pediatric orthopedic surgeon who lived in Vermont. He was a team doctor for the Pittsburgh Penguins NHL club before that. He was a pilot who rebuilt a plane from the ground up and also built kayaks. It’s unclear from the obit if he built the one in the pic or merely modified it, but it mentions the “internet famous” picture with his dogs. You never know of course, but he seemed like a decent and interesting dude who at least knew the value of hobbies.
Awwww, but in the kind of sad way. Our guy passed away just last week in Vermont, but the picture is real. Sounds like he was a neat person.
That is mildly infuriating.
Good point but for presidential elections, electrical districts don’t make any sense.
In 48 out of fifty states, they don’t matter for presidential elections. I think only Maine and Nebraska split their electoral college votes at all.
Also, if the districts are being manipulated to provide a skewed election result then are the districts really groups of people with similar needs?
The original purpose has indeed been corrupted in many places, and those where it hasn’t are tempted into a “race to the bottom” as states with modest but persistent majorities are gerrymandering their states to the hilt. Still, the original idea of electoral districts makes a lot of sense, and even moreso when communications and travel were much slower.
Carbon Fiber just wasn’t cutting it
Yup. Guy came up in aerospace, and while carbon fiber air frames have to deal with all sorts of freaky, weird stresses, simple compression is not one of them. The difference between sea level and basically outer space is exactly one atmosphere. The difference between sea level and the Titanic is… well… somewhat more.
Jesus, why didn’t somebody put him out?!
