Met a nice lady at the grocery store
  • I completely agree, it was one in a million and I was extremely surprised when it happened.

    I've never been on the receiving end of a "that happened" before. Not really sure what to do about it. But I get it.

  • Met a nice lady at the grocery store

    Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing mint itself was probably newer than that kernel. Happy with my answer, we chatted a little, then she thanked me and left.

    It was a nice experience, so I thought I should share!

    The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 10-08-2023
  • DOOM (1993): I like it. First time playing it, just finished "knee-deep in the dead" and started the next chapter!

    Shadow of the tomb raider: gameplay is fun but the story isn't as fun as the previous games. Something just feels off to me.

    I also just bought most of the resident evil games in the new humble bundle, have only played a little of 1 remaster, a year ago, and 5, about 10 years ago. I like weird scifi horror and this seems like just that, so hope I'll like it, when I finally get around to playing them!

  • What projects have everyone ongoing?
  • I might be a little late to this thread. I'm currently working on two robots, the first one is a hexapod that I'm rebuilding and reprogramming, using a teensy 4.0, while not technically an arduino it uses the arduino ide so I'll count it. The second one is a smaller autonomous rover with a lidar, it uses a raspberry pi 4b as the brains and has an arduino nano to move the motors and take movement commands. It runs on ros, and I can now click on a map in rviz to have it move there. Currently working on pathing. The plan is to move the lidar to the hexapod once I'm done with the rover and the hexapod.

  • YSK it's either "should have" or "should've". "Should of" is incorrect
  • The footnotes are pretty much their own story. The book is written like a textbook so it might be quite hard to read sometimes, and it is sometimes boring but still somehow interesting. I don't think there really is a correct way of reading it though, I mean, you could skip the footnotes but then you'd only kind of get 1/3 of the story. There are footnotes and then there are footnotes of the footnotes.

  • YSK it's either "should have" or "should've". "Should of" is incorrect
  • I've seen "should of" in a book before. I think it was house of leaves, that had a bunch of them in it but it was only from one characters perspective if I remember correctly, so it might have been a stylistic choice. Still recommend the book though.
