    No I jumped ship in May/June and got a refund as they kept kicking the can down the road for release. Was supposed to be Oct '23. Used that money to get something else for drawing. Curious if I should have waited.

    Stoplights at a junction should be done in phases and not in straight on green and turn on green only if it's clear.

    If you have a 4 way junction then each way should green for you to go straight or turn off for a period of time.

    I went to buy a new one but now they only come with 2 USB-C ports and that's it! It's not practical...

    If you go with Starlabs, make sure what you're ordering is IN STOCK.

    I ordered the Lite V which I as estimated to deliver in October 2023. It's now April 2024 and they are just receiving it on their end. It seems like they've learned their lesson but not letting people pre-order their newer things now. Reviews of previous products seem promising with them.

    My friend has the Slimbook Executive. That thing is sex with a keyboard.

    When I was younger, like 15/16, I was working a job in a stone quarry during my spring break. Long days, hot sun but all cash and made decent money.

    One of my neighbors whom I would briefly speak to all the time wanted to borrow some money. I think it was $400 or something. At that age, I wanted to help out and I wanted seem cool, so I lent it. He asked for a bit more and more and eventually it ended up to about $1100. My neighbor said their paycheck was coming 'next week' and could easily pay me back.

    Next week never came. I followed up with the neighbor and they said something happened to their paycheck but the money was coming. He then said a showing of good faith, he'd give me his payslip as proof and that I needed to get it back to him so I he cash he check. Stupid me knew something to was up but because I was naiive and impressionable, I told him I trusted him and I'll await the money.

    I managed to get his number and I called to follow up again, but he had some girl answer the phone and when I asked to speak to him, she said, "Oh he's getting cookies right now..."

    A week later the phone was disconnected and then I didn't see him for a while. I then moved out of the neighborhood.

    Eventually I saw him a few years later and mentioned about the money that he owed me but he 'wasn't sure what I was talking about'. I long since before then realized the money was gone. Expensive lesson but that's a story of how I got scammed.

    With epoxy-based putty or paste. Take a tool and dig out as much rot as you can. There's a two part epoxy you can get that goes on either as a paste or a putty.

    For the paste, you'll need to build it up over a few coatings. For the putty, you can form it like play-doh.

    Use batons to form it or get it in rough shape and then use planers, very sharp chisels and/or sandpaper to shape it. I typical do the shaping when the epoxy is not 100% cured but rather, 60%-80%. Easier to shape.

    Once in the correct shape, allow to cure and paint.

    Don't use liquid epoxy. Unless you have a 100% fool-proof seal, you'll make a mess. Hell, you'll probably make a mess even with one.

    Good luck!

    Is there an easy way to block or filter communities?

    I'm coming from Connect and there's a way to block communities or even entire instances directly from seeing it on the Everything page. When the feed reloads it removes either from your view. Is there something like this in Sync? I know in Sync for Reddit, could filter out posts and subreddits by keyword, but where Lemmy is so much more vast than this, it would be nice to be able to quickly remove things you are not interested in as you go. Anyone know how this can be done or is this a feature request?
