I fixed my refrigerator that came with my new house. The fan that blows cold air from bottom freezer to top of refrigerator was broken (and even missing blades?). I found the part on the Internet and also took the time to by myself a solde

Wow thanks for this, I added myself to the waiting list. If you use my referral URL I get a bump in the queue: https://hcaptcha.com/?r=29d830be7540

It was very obvious which was which and you had a 50/50 chance. I can confirm this used to work and I always used a curse word plus the known word.

I use a desk lamp so It's really close to me and I get both the light and heat and I swap the bulb out for an LED during summer.

Personally I love the heat that an incondecent bulb emits, I can actually keep my hands warm on my keyboard while lowering my room heat. 75 watt bulb with heat versus a 3000 watt space heater.

I often wonder if this is why I toil away in the soil. Why am I making my life harder than nessasary. Yes the food I produce cannot be bought off the shelf, but is that enough of a reason to put myself through the trouble?

Woah very cool post. I've been planning to learn enough graph theory and the astar algorithm for pathfinding to make the non-player agents in my game have enough intelligence to find a target, whether that is a point on the map or the

I'm bullish regarding twitch (Amazon) and Discord. Too bad I'm not a VC or have any money or way to monitized my knowledge. Do I use either service? Not often, but I have accounts. When I reconnect to my gamer friends / click

I recommend Joyent (acquired by Samsung). They open source all their software (and make it easy to install and use). Their hypervisor operating system (SmartOS) rocks so hard. They also released Manta (S3 alternative object store). If Joyen

I use Firefox on Android and it's good enough. I don't even notice it's different. Additionally it's amusing to me to see just how far we have come where simply having a functional browser on a handheld device isn't

I ran into the same issue and had the same thoughts. The ironic part is Hangouts might be extinguishing Firefox, but it's also extinguishing itself. Google doesn't maintain it, it's running on autopilot and will likely be shu

Want to read some scary stuff, checkout how 5G "topology" works. Essentially everything (including living things) become antenna for the network. It is quiet different tech than 3 and 4G.

Seems like Ebay was one of the original online "gamifiers" which used seller and buyer ratings to elevate the overall quality of the "service workers" on their platform. Amazon followed suite. I wonder if we should consi

Although the prices of the computers and the extreme price reductions seems interesting, I think even more so is the companies and brand names that have disappeared from the "consumer market" due to saturating the market (Texas In

In my opinion the biggest issue with meds, supplements, and health studies in general is that it's an n+1 issue. All humans are unique individual cases. What works great for one person might not work for the majority. This doesn't

It sort of just works. Get yourself a big USB thumb drive (I use 8 and 16G) and boot off it. You'll answer a few questions to install. I like the Thinkpads because they are so cheap ($200-300) gets you an i7 and 8-12GB RAM. The CPUs ar

My take on this is a small SmartOS cluster running on 3 x Thinkpad T430s - each with the DVD drive removed and two SSDs installed as a ZFS mirror. The whole cluster idles at 150 watts and each node is backed by it's own dedicated batte
