They rock.I'm sometimes afraid they will be bought or change terms.

The pictures make things look better than they are ;) but thanks anyways!

No, It's the rectangular holes meeting in the middle.

[–] callcc@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Unfortunately I didn't document that part of the process. But you figured it out correctly. It's two rectangular pockets that meet in the center of the leg. I drilled a bunch of holes using an 8mm drill bit and then chiseled out the rest. This process works quite well, even though it's not extremely precise, especially since I used pine.

Thanks a lot for the information! Your room seems to be awfully hot though :D

 

Converting an old marble table to a coffee table. I haven't worked in my shop recently and forgot how much work even the most basic thing like cutting to length is. Anyways, I'm happy how things turned out.

Ahhww, finally a candidate sound generator for my earPod buster bike horn. Nice!

Good answer, although I wonder if we focus too much on the waste as being the flavor as opposed to the bacteria and yeasts. Do you have any idea how much of the mass of a ripe starter is actually bacteria and yeast as opposed to the lactic acid and whatever other bacteria and yeast pee is produced?

One thing is sure, dry yeast tastes excellent. It tastes so good that the food industry uses it on crisps and other addictive food :)

Learnt programming as a kid on my dads PSION. I owe my career to that device. It came with a BASIC manual on paper. That must have been the most important part of the package.

The people who talk about discarding generally mean what you describe. The discarded starter is usually not as active as the freshly fed one. My guess is that it's mostly the yeast that is missing in an older unfed starter.

That being said, I bake every week with good success and don't discard any starter. I usually keep my sourdough in the fridge and take it out on the night of thursday, feed it a bit (wholemeal wheat) and let it stand at room temperature. On friday evening I feed again but this time to full size (to get around 300g). On saturday morning I bake using almost all the starter. I put back the "dirty" jar with the rests of the starter into the fridge waiting to be fed the week after. Be sure to find your own routine. Also beware that this might not work if you bake less than weekly as the sourdough might become too sour and thurn dark an loose its yeasts.

Have fun!

Niiice. I love ferns but they are tough to grow indoors in my climate because of the dry air. How much energy does this beast consume? Is it heated or only lit?

I don't know what I did right but I find the scoring to be very pretty.

Bonus: the other loaves of the batch

 

And here the real deal:

Only crashed once :)

 

I made a case to protect my darts when taking them somewhere. Here are some more images. The case was made to fit a specific model and it's not very parametric till then end, so I'm afraid it's not super useful for others.

It was made in #FreeCAD 1.0 which was super smooth!

I'm designing a case for a dew-point ventilator controller to be 3d printed. The controller is implemented using arduino on an esp32. The project is based off of the code and HW implementation by Make Magazine Germany: https://github.com/MakeMagazinDE/Taupunktluefter. When starting out I was thinking this would be an easy project but it turned out that especially the lid with its lip and groove design and the parts fixations were not that easy. I'm excited to finally print it.

The file is parametric to some extent and the main footprint is based off of a master sketch. Many parts were imported as step files from grabcad. I used FreeCAD 1.0-rc1 which works like a charm for many things. Next thing I would like to do is to use the new assembly workbench. What do you think?

EDIT: I didn't mention the most important part. The device switches on a ventilator when the absolute moisture content outside is lower than inside a a certain room. This results in drying of the room that you ventilate like a basement with moisture issues. The dew-point acts as a proxy for measuring absolute moisture content.

Who can suggest an ethical SMTP provider for low volume transactional mail? I'm willing to pay up to 2€/month for a few hundred mails per month.

Have some random images from the Meise (little town next to Brussels in Belgium) botanical gardens. They are specialised in endemic plants but also bananas, coffee and succulents. I also included pictures of the seedbank (the short term, max. 10 years part).

 

I need a beautiful electric kettle that will last a lifetime. Any recommendations? I'm willing to pay quite a bit.

 

One of my tomato plants is doing excellent due to the warm weather recently (was planted 2 Weeks earlier).

Also some pics of beans in blossom. They don't seem to be that happy though, any ideas why?

And more tomatos:
