I've finally got a van to work out of again, rather than trying to fit a van's worth of gear into a Corolla.
It'll take me a while to work out how to best fit everything in, but it's an improvement.

I've always wanted to be able to setup a small home gym.
Finally have the space to do it, and pulled the plug over the weekend :)
Just (im)patiently waiting on it to arrive, and then Ill be onto the challenge of how to set it all up.
How much kids pee is too much to wear to work?
I had to make the hard call this morning after getting a wet patch on my arm as I was getting ready to leave. In the end I decided a 3x3cm patch was too much so I changed my shirt, was I wrong?
Any pee is too much. But I don't have kids so I can't talk.
Reading that first question though I was like "Huh?!"
Holy moly haha same. I don't currently have kids so never thought this would be a thing to think about 😂😂
Even one drop? What if you don't notice?
Well I suppose 1 drop is okay especially since it'll be dry by the time you leave haha
To be fair, it's never one drop.
Nope. Any is too much. It just smells.
Even one drop? I'm sure I wouldn't even notice a single fine drop.
I think it is a sliding scale based on how urgent and important the thing you are getting to is.
If it is a normal day, a 3x3 patch is too much, if your application server is offline and everyone expects you to fix it......the 3x3 spot will dry and the smell is gonna be covered by you sweating anyway....
Haha see that's my kinda thought train
You don't want to smell like a bus stop at 3pm.
Well I might be standing in a bus stop at 3pm so no one will notice.
Good point
Wore my slippery shoes thinking it was going to be sunny and dry.
It isn't.
Now I'll be shuffling like Professor Farnsworth everywhere today.
I'm kinda tired today. But I went for a walk this morning and feel a bit better now. Just want to go home and practice some guitar and drums.
I feel sorry for your neighbours.
I used to live next door to a drummer.
Nah I've got an electric kit so as to not annoy the neighbours and I strictly use Headphones when I play them.
Nice
I think wasps might be eating all my monarch eggs.
Is it good because you'll have a sustainable population? Or bad because you'll have no population at all?
No population at all at the moment. Might change when the weather cools. My swan plants are the "giant" variety and grow about 10 foot tall, so sustainability isn't usually as big of a problem it is for people with little plants.
I can't find where the wasps have their lair yet. It's annoying because the internet says spray individuals with flyspray then run away, but running isn't really an option for me.
The homeowner says they're going to cut down 3 of my 5 plants soon so it's a pity they didn't get used.
Oh wow, 10ft!
If you sit and watch, if the lair is nearby then you will probably see a steady stream of wasps coming and going from the same direction.
But once you find the lair, working out how to do something about it without the "run" step might still be difficult.
Yeah this is the problem. I'm not seeing a stream of anyone and I've wandered all over the area. They're Aussie paper wasps so normally their lairs are easier to spot from a distance than yellowjackets but the wasps themselves are harder.
If I can find it, they're toast. The trick to killing wasps is to go out on a dark night, with all your skin covered, and suffocate them. No running required.
I'm imagining you sneaking up behind them and suffocating each one like in video games.
He heh! now I'm imagining using stealth archery against them with a tiny bow and some toothpicks.
Ooh if you try it be sure to take a video to share 😆
My old Senheiser HD 598s stopped working recently. Sound only came from one of the speakers. I took them apart to see if I could spot any issues but it all looked good. I tried wiring the working speaker to the not working speaker and that made the speaker work. I then thought the issue might be the wiring through the headband so I added new wire but that still didnt work. I ended up doing more testing and settling on the issue being the right output for the headphone jack and since I couldn't find a replacement part I am gonna have to throw them out.
On the positive note im getting a lot better at soldering and more confident taking things apart and soldering the wires around. Now I just got to wait for the next thing to break so I can attempt to fix it.
Well done! I like to think of myself as an excellent solderer, but every time I try to solder the stupid enamel wires they use in (cheap) headphones it ends up some kind of hideous mess. Next time, I'll have to make new cables from scratch just so I don't have to deal with it.
