That noice but I can’t get over then holding it by the USBC connector… how in a right mind would you do that ?

@wifienyabledcat@beehaw.org avatar

yeah I know it’s not great for the port, but it’s light enough and small enough that it was fine for the photo

Diurnambule ,

I can understand that logically but that strike some thing which forced me react…

yeah it’s running firmware made by the ESPHome integration and is discoverable on homeassistant.

Thats so fucking cool!!!

Fiivemacs , to Do It Yourself in Put together a DIY air quality monitor!

How does it calibrate?

Fonderthud ,

Not op, I’m not seeing anything about calibration for PM or VOC just stuff for open air bump tests. Interesting alternatives to filter load and PIDs I wonder if they’re robust enough to find their way into EPA or OSHA level investigations, I haven’t run across them yet

Very cool! Do you have more pics video of putting it together?

I unfortunately don’t, but it was basically just soldering everything together on the PCB. AirGradient provides build instructions if you get a kit.

I loved Voyager, but I always hard a little bit of a hard time with Neelix.

HobbitFoot ,

I feel like the writers never figured out Neelix.

TheFriendlyArtificer ,

Just imagine what the crew had to go through… Kinda surprising that Tuvix didn’t have any support since splitting him up would mean that Neelix is back.

Neelix was awful, and probably made worse because I wanted to like him from the start.

Without getting into Kes - which compounded the Neelix problem for me - I started to hate him less in the last few seasons when he went all dark sad clown. I was still viscerally annoyed, but he turned into almost a Michael Scott type character. He was horrible, but you could see the the pain that made him that way.

@ArtieShaw @xilliah @TingoTenga Of all the "hospitality" people in ST (Guinan, Quark, Neelix), Neelix was by far the worst. He was just annoying. No wonder poor Tuvok couldn't stand him (and then they got merged :eyeroll: ).

ArtieShaw ,
@ArtieShaw@kbin.social avatar

I hadn't even thought about the comparison to Guinan or Quark. The comparison makes Neelix so much worse. Guinan didn't need a redemption arc . Quark had a good one. Neither of them were annoying.

mosiacmango ,

Guinan gained a threatening arc, if anything. The ultra calm, compassionate counselor that scared gods like Q, and could swing a mean rifle when she needed to.

When Voyager was first shown on TV, a mate from work used to come around every week and we’d have a beer and watch it.

The episode with Neelix’s cheese ended that tradition

Understandable but would it shock you to know that it’s my fav star trek? But ya it unfortunately has some weak episodes, especially in the beginning.

Hyacathusarullistad ,
@Hyacathusarullistad@kbin.social avatar

It's my favourite as well. My parents watched TNG and DS9 when I was a kid, but Voyager was the first Trek that I went out of my way myself to watch. Kathryn Janeway is high on my list of personal (albeit fictional) heroes.

richieadler ,

VOY is the most scientifically illiterate of all Trek series. They tried to sound at least as “sciency” as TNG, but:

  • They spent half a season searching ores on planets while mentioning a gas
  • They invented the “iso-” pseudo prefix to hide they didn’t understand the metric system (in a prior episode they were alarmed by a cosmic event generating as little pressure as 10 atmospheres).

Are you forgetting Discovery's space tardigrade? and the mycelial network?

michaelgemar ,
@michaelgemar@mstdn.ca avatar

@HeartyBeast @startrek Please can we forget them?

richieadler ,

I consider Discovery in its own disaster category. They didn’t even try to make sense.

Voyager had at least a veneer of palatable Trek. Sometimes.

xilliah OP ,
@xilliah@beehaw.org avatar

Personally I find that show to be unwatchable.

TheFriendlyArtificer ,

Shall we talk about their continual shortage of deuterium? Possibly the second most common substance in the universe!

richieadler ,

Thank you, yes.

xilliah OP ,
@xilliah@beehaw.org avatar

Aren’t they looking for anti deuterium?

xilliah OP ,
@xilliah@beehaw.org avatar

Oof ya if you’re going for scientific accuracy I wouldn’t rate it very high either.

HeartyBeast ,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

I've subsequently seem other episodes - and yes, it's solid. It's just that one episode, where we looked at each other and went 'nahh'

Thorry84 , to Star Trek in That time Neelix disabled the ship with cheese

State of the art ship, goes to shit because of cheese, smort engineers take days to figure it out… The future!

@Thorry84 @xilliah I’ve done a lot of tech trouble shooting, sounds about right. It’s always something really dumb that you never would have imagined+hardware failure.

Get the cheese to sickbay

Janeway: coffee?

Neelix: no, but we have molded brie

Amphobet , to fountainpens in NID, A small collection of Diamine inks. Looking to move away from pure jet black.

Nice! Have you tried any yet?

EmrysOfTheValley OP ,

I’ve loaded Misty Blue in and its quite a nice blue. Need to find my other converters to try the others.

Amphobet ,

Blue’s my favorite color. Can you post a pic of it in use?

EmrysOfTheValley OP ,
moosemoosemoose ,

I am digging the Misty Blue. It’s work friendly, but that slightly lighter blue black has more personality than a darker one that leans closer to black. It’s on my wishlist now!

vadsamoht , to fountainpens in NID, A small collection of Diamine inks. Looking to move away from pure jet black.

Wanting to move away from blacks is how I eventually came to the first of my three main inks, which is also from Diamine: Saddle Brown. I found that I still wanted something that wasn't too attention grabbing and was still dark enough to provide good contrast on nearly anything, but at the same time it's still far more interesting than the range of "permanent marker black" to "washed out black" that I was trying to enjoy before.

I hope you find something that works for you!

BilboBallbins , to Do It Yourself in (August) What are you working on now, DIY?

Just moved into a new place, so a lot of things: -Building a compost bin -Hanging shelves, mirrors, paintings, etc. -Installing new electrical outlets -Adjusting doors that are out of alignment -Reupholstering a few chairs

Legolution , to Do It Yourself in (August) What are you working on now, DIY?

Currently putting the finishing touches on a wall-mounted chest of drawers for the workshop, which is holding everything from screws to scrap metal to machinist vices. It’s made of scrap pallet wood and ply and totally hand-tooled (planes/chisels/saws). My workshop is very very small (under 8ft by 9ft) and doubles as my home office, so this baby really frees up major space.

Just the rest of the drawer labels left to do. Not sure if these photos will work, but here goes:

lilmann , to Do It Yourself in (August) What are you working on now, DIY?

It’s not much honestly, but in order to make both kids fit in one room I’m making all their furniture from sheets of MDF. This was my very first project, and likely a mistake, but good progress has been made.

though not as home oriented as most posters here, i have a denim jacket i’ve been working on for the past couple months. have been making and sewing my own patches on, and am currently looking at dyeing the sleeves, though i’ve been procrastinating from that a bit ;)
