For context, I’m talking about texturing smaller drywall repairs like, say, a patched 3-inch hole (don’t get me started on railings not installed to code…) or even nail pop repairs as per the other recent post. Assume I’ve mudded and sanded and it’s nice and smooth and now I want it… less smooth. To match, say, an...

For example, the Prior plague, would we need offworld or off-reality contacts to be able to deal with it, or is modern medicine up to the task, with mRNA vaccines and CRISPR?...

This is a bit of an ad, but I swear I don’t sponsor H&I. I just use them a lot. My wife and I bought “bunny ears”/an antenna for our TV when we lived in the Midwest. We also watch H&I on the west coast. Almost every night they play one episode from each popular, live-action, series in order of production: TOS, TNG, DS9,...

I’m looking for sci-fi books that are (partially or fully) about environmentalism, preserving nature or the consequences of not doing so.

What are your favorite time travel episodes? Also what are your least favorite?

As a video game it’s a bit crap, but as a Star Trek VN it’s pretty good.

With the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park (film) having just passed, I’ve had Michael Crichton on my mind. I was introduced to him with Prey in middle school (undoubtedly a little early for the material) and I consider his work to be hugely influential in my love for reading today....

Hi I am currently struggling with deciding between Pis (all variants e.g. Orange Pi) and Nucs as I can’t find any for a reasonable price. Do you guys have any recommandation for me? German/European Stores maybe? I am looking for the best efficency to performance ratio for a low price. Basically just small computing units that...

Since the embargo came off early Monday, many reviews are out based on the first six episode screeners....

I am looking for a simple tool that I can monitor available bandwidth on my 3 different ISPs in real time. Not what is being used, but what is available…like a speed test, but one that can show historical data. I have PRTG but that shows what is being used. I also do not want it to constant speed tests, that would take up...

I’m still on Goodreads but it’s so slow, the app’s just an even slower webview of the site and the redesign has made me have to click more to do what I want....

They are analog roller shades. I feel like it could be a decent project but my budget isn’t great, so i do want to know if that is something worth DIYing or not. Also I wouldn’t know what micro controller to use....

Hello everyone, I realised we don’t really have an introductory or meta thread for this community, and I thought it might be wise to create one....

I am a PSE for a large corporation that most people would not be familiar with (those users that frequent this sub probably would). However, we supply business critical software to many of the big companies you definitely do know. This puts me in a position where I work directly with some of the most well paid ‘tech execs’...

I was investigating why is one of the air vents so loud when AC is running. Turned out the air duct is not actually behind the vent, but to the side of it....

I have a few servers without offsite backups. Luckily I just acquired a new physical location that allows me the opportunity to run a fully self-owned backup server....

Getting us started! :)...

I’m trying to watch Voyager again(never finished it, dropped it around season 3) and every time i’m watching VOY I think to myself: “why am I watching this when I could be watching DS9?” so I’m mixing both right now....
