    Apologies for lack of clarity. Currently the topper just rests upon the top of the bath, this plus some plastic sheeting affixed to the underside of the topper gives a decent protective seal from weather etc.

    I'm thinking folding legs are necessary as the internal depth of the bath is only 43cm (16.9 inches) so if they don't fold it would be rather short

    Advice for managing folding table legs

    Noob here I have a wooden sheet of plywood that acts as a protective topper for an outdoor bath tub (don't ask). I'm looking for a way to add folding legs to the underside that will rest in the bath tub when the topper is on, and fold out to form a table sitting alongside the bathtub while it's in use

    It's like I "know" all the options (pros and cons and obstacles and things to think about) all at once, any time I have is then spent on the emotional consequences of them. But more time doesn't usually mean discovering more options.

    With my aphantasia it's not that it's all quiet in there, unfortunately you still get the carousel of regrets/self criticism etc, but it's a carousel of emotions with no narrator if that makes sense

    A friend asked me the same thing, they have a back and forth of voices, at significant speed, and then they reach a decision. Whereas I just "know" all the pros and cons (to the best of my ability) all at once if that makes sense?

    Silly Q: How do you browse TTRPG Discords? Forums are so much easier

    Whenever I enter a discord it's like walking in halfway through ten conversations happening all at once. Unless you go all-in and follow everything being said like you would a personal/private discord, how do you navigate them? E.g I can search for "cleric" and try and parse the latest conversations but it's janky

    My "why has the world gone to shit" was the 2007/8 banking crisis when everyone realised that you could pull off any swindle you wanted and no one would stop you. So everyone did/everyone stopped trying to hide it.

    So presumably people older than me would point to the start of Trickle Down Economics, and so on

    Everyone has their own "None of this works and it's intentional!" moment

    "separate creator from the art" only works when the creator has passed and no longer benefits from celebrating the art. Arguably not even then.

    Of course they are

    This worked for me:

    • Start your own subreddit so you're a mod,

    • mark it nsfw,

    • don't need to post anything

    and you should be able to access any nsfw in your feed when off-app.

    Types of Wheelchair Power Assist Devices: a non-exhaustive mini guide https://lemmy.world/post/6225805

    A non-comprehensive guide to some of the styles available. Whichever you go for, they're all generally around £4000/$5000 . YMMV. Depending upon your location, a dealer may bring one to your home for you to trial them. You're spending a lot of money so do not be afraid to ask. Searching YouTube for these brand names should come up with a lot of examples. **Single Rear Wheel:** Smart Drive and Smoov are small motors with a single wheel that attach to the back of your manual chair. You control propulsion with a speed dial near your lap, and you steer the chair using your hands on the wheel push rims as normal. You can also push to contribute towards propulsion if you like. The extent to which they contribute towards overall speed is variable dependent upon your needs, but they can propel the chair entirely on their own, meaning all you have to do is steer. Pro: - They are both easy to attach/remove. - comparatively light - you have full control of steering Con: - sometimes have difficulty with steps/curbs as they're just clipped to an axle bar - can feel less ergonomic/immediately responsive than devices attached to the wheels themselves. **Dual Wheel motors:** E-motion and WheelDrive style power assists are two motors, one on each wheel, which are connected to each other via Bluetooth. They each respond to how hard your hands push their respective wheel. This means you can set them to double your input, or treble your input, etc. They also have cruise control so they can propel the chair entirely on their own. Pro: - responsive, feel ergonomic. The force is kinda/ish coming from your hands rather than from a motor behind your bum Con: - rely upon Bluetooth, YMMV - double the weight of single motor devices as there's one on each wheel, so if they fail for some reason, your chair is now very heavy - you have to be careful how you push as every push is amplified and affects each wheel independently. Something to be aware of when you aren't pushing with each hand evenly, e.g, on slanted pavement/sidewalk, when you're turning/dodging, etc **Tricycle style devices:** These attach to the front of your chair with handle bars and a front wheel with a motor. Pro: - Great for longer distances - some prefer handlebar steering Con: - less manoeuvrable. Your turning circle becomes very large. **Powerchair style:** There are also systems like the e-fix which turn your manual chair into a form of powerchair with a joystick to steer. Pro: - some prefer this undemanding mode of steering Con: - They add a lot of weight - There's no middle ground, it's on or it's off, it's doing all the work or none of the work Hope this helps Please feel free to add first-hand experiences or any thoughts to this post, or let me know if I should edit anything
