    Yeah I only found out recently because I had thought that it'd been an oddly long amount of time since the last update. Went to check for updates and the button was gone, so I flew over to the github page and saw the announcement lol

  • Do you have some kind of subconscious awareness of interests you already have or know you eventually will take deep dives into at some point in life?
  • NikkiNikkiNikki NikkiNikkiNikki Now 100%

    A custom head + rotary valve train, the EJ25 uses standard valves with a standard cam design, this is fine, but rotary valves have their own advantages and disadvantages that I think would be fun to tinker with. Unlike a regular valve, rotary valves don't have springs, therefore they don't experience the "valve float" that standard valves experience at higher RPM's, allowing you to rev to very fast engine speeds. They also give better fuel economy since they are much lower resistance, standard valves have to overcome the force of each spring in order to open, rotary valves are just a hole. Rotary valves are also non-interference, and if I blew the timing belt, it wouldn't destroy the engine

    I'd also just like to be able to make shit out of metal, it's a brainworm of mine I've had forever

    I've been wanting to learn how to work with metal for a while now, my current long time goal is to get good enough to make a rotary valve train for my Subaru motor. I've been absorbing a lot of information about how engines work and how these parts interact I'm just missing all the practical knowledge for it.

    I'm staying away from most solids at the moment cause I can't keep them down. But yeah I do know about that diet cause someone in my family had to be on it for a while and will probably do the same once I can

  • NikkiNikkiNikki NikkiNikkiNikki Now 100%

    Kinda weird, is the first gen Vega Apu different enough to not have these problems? Cause I've been pushing that thing hard enough it's starting to have actual hardware faults, very rarely had software related crashes that couldn't be resolved with a temporary kernal rollback

  • NikkiNikkiNikki NikkiNikkiNikki Now 92%

    They're all aight, but avoid asus like the plague, they don't last very long and have tons of incompatibilities with linux. I've only had mine for 3 years and it already needs a new mobo as the pci lanes for wifi and bluetooth suddenly died

  • What's the oldest piece of tech you still have running?
  • NikkiNikkiNikki NikkiNikkiNikki Now 100%

    the oldest is one of my portable cassette recorders, a very early GE model that is in near perfect condition. It's so early on it doesn't have much info online, and seems to be rare, but unwanted.

    The one im the most proud of is my IBM LexMark model M keyboard, It's older than me, abused to hell, modified, and is still my daily driver because it's so comfortable

    It's just a mix of whatever I'm thinking about honestly. It's original stuff but I kinda base it off of memory so it ends up as its own thing. I kinda love goth / chains / collars in general so I just mash those together with what I make.
    I bought a little fashion for dummies guide book recently to at least break me into some more complex designs, as I actually want even more stuff that is cool and cute and makes sense. And I keep forgetting to use photo refs cause I get hyperfocused when I draw so I rely too much on the memory part so it's not quite as super cute as I want.
    Anyways, thank you <3

  • I work in a town that has a lot of trucker traffic with very little locals, they treat those toilets like they are just straight holes in the ground, never flush, never clean the seats if they miss, sweat stains stuck on after just an hour without cleaning. But as I cleaned the remnants of somebody's breakfast dinner lunch off of the rim and *floor*. I had the thought that this can't be the absolute worst right?

    For some odd reason I burnout very frequently, or more like I get so brain dead that I literally cannot even come up with an Idea of what to do, let alone act on it. It feels like when I even try to start I get so exhausted that I have to lay down. It always happens after I'm the most productive, but my down time feels so much longer than the time I get to create. I'd say I have at least 4 days to a week of productivity, and about 2 - 3 weeks of burnout. It's nuts. The cycle repeats, though it can vary wildly in how long each part is. I'm starting to get hella annoyed since I haven't drawn a thing in over a year and I was finally getting back into the groove at least doodling daily, just to be derailed hard. I was thinking that I just lack creativity, but it became this catch-22 of "I have to actually draw with purpose and make things that I enjoy" and "I am so fucking tired that even opening a sketchbook or cleaning makes me want to take a nap / drop into a dead sleep". What are your thoughts?
