And he might go to jail. (might)

Call the fire department, they have detectors that they can use to look for gas leaks and other things that can set off a detector.

You can also call your gas provider. One of those two should be able to track it down, it could be a lot of things, but two different smoke detectors going off in the same location is a huge red flag.

Best case, you have something kicking up fine dust, worst case, you have a smouldering electric fire in your wall somewhere.

Don’t panic, but also do not ignore this.

I use my plunge saw for so many things, BUT it does have limitations. I struggle making long narrow rip cuts, and repeatable cuts can be difficult without an MFT style workbench.

It can be a lot safer, cleaner, and easier than a table saw, ESPECIALLY for large panels, but it can’t entirely replace a table saw.

I do agree with this comment, and the 10 minute workshop YouTube channel has a lot of great tips on using a plunge saw (and recommendations on less expensive versions), but just be aware that it’s not a 1-1 replacement.

IF you have enough for a “full size” shop, including workbenches, a table saw, etc. Then I recommend Steve Ramsey (Woodworking for Mere Mortals). He has a lot of projects and shop tips for people just getting started. He also has a website that has a constantly updated buy list for how to build a shop on the cheap.

IF you are tight on space, but still want power tools, then Peter Millard (10 minute workshop) is a UK woodworker that does a lot of cabinetry and custom builds in a small basement UK shop. It’s really nice, and he even has a series of projects where he starts with just some super basic tools, and then makes slightly more complicated stuff every week.

IF you want to try your hand at a no power tool shop (which can still be expensive to buy the stuff), then Paul Sellers is a great instructor. Most of his videos assume you don’t know anything and are just starting out.

Finally, Stumpy Nubs is a great channel for just general info, shop tips, and safe handling of tools. Just beware that he slips in a lot of “Just buy this one last thing from my affiliate link and it’ll solve all your problems.”

Wood Whisperer, Tamar at 3x3 Custom, Lincoln St. Four Eyes, Izzy Swan, and a bunch of other channels are a lot of fun too, but most of them have moved into more of a “watch me make this awesome thing with my quarter million $$$ shop.”

The easiest way to learn how to design furniture is to copy existing designs, then tweak them slightly to better fit your style. After a while, you’ll learn how to incorporate different designs into a nearly original piece.

Copy copy copy until you understand what you like, and what works functionally.

How do you set this up to forward properly? Do you use different domains for different services? like plex.example.com?

I currently have nginx set up to forward based on port, which is fine for me, but it could be a little better.

The nursing shortage is exacerbated by understaffed facilities. Nurses quit because they’re expected to do too much with very little help.

Larger staffing requirements will help this problem, and make it so nurses are not so overworked.

You can’t wait until there’s no more shortage to improve working conditions, because the poor working conditions are the bulk of the problem.

I’m all for this but… Why would anyone pay a medical debt anymore? Wouldn’t you just sit on it forever? What’s the incentive to ever pay?

Polls don’t matter, especially this far out.

Vote. Put pressure on politicians to do better. But more than anything. Vote.

If the polls say he’s 100% going to win. Vote. If you’re in a state that goes blue every time for the last 100 years. Vote. If you’re in a state that goes red every time for the last 100 years. Vote.

Only 1 in 6 voters would change their mind about a convicted fraudster becoming the most powerful person in the country? And only after ANOTHER guilty verdict?

Assuming you are talking about hearing protection: I know people that like them, but I wasn’t a big fan. I probably didn’t do it perfectly, but it’s so time consuming and kinda expensive, so I didn’t want to keep trying.

I just use the disposable squish 3m foam earplugs and they do great. Easy to put in, don’t fall out.

It’s not like there won’t be a VP pick from the GOP.

Saw a neat ESP32 IR blaster on sparkfun. Might try to set it up to control some LED string lights.

That would be a great platform to start with.

Price in a backup solution too, you don’t want to have all your movies disappear because of one hard drive crash, or an accidental reformat gone wrong.

RAID is not a backup.

Feels like some of that stuff, like the SSD’s are a bit overkill for a media server. Most of them still use spinning disks to maximize size vs. cost.

Additionally, the CPU/GPU needs of a media server are pretty minor, unless you need to transcode on the fly, and even then, single streams aren’t very intensive either.

So unless you’re capping the outgoing bandwidth to multiple external sources, you’re most likely just streaming the video source as-is to the destination, which just needs a stable network stream. If you don’t need to transcode at all, you don’t really even need a GPU on the hardware.

If Biden wins, we’ll never have to worry about either trump or Biden running again.

Good step, but let’s get that down to a 32 hour work week with no reduction in pay.

Most jobs that are OT exempt have been shown to be more productive with a slightly shorter work week.

Just look at the down voted comments in any politics thread on Lemmy. Probably half of them are obvious trolls, paid or unpaid.
