The reason I used to use my work PC for online purchases/personal finances because the network at my employer was much more secure than my home network. But it was a smaller company back then, now that we’re “corporate” (partnered a larger entity) I don’t.
I picked up a used Garmin drivesmart 65 that I 3D printed a mount for. One of the accessories for it is a backup camera, and since my sideview mirrors see more of my shoulder than they should, it might make a interesting rear view mirror cam.
I’ve been using the Hario Skerton daily for 7 years. 24 bucks on Amazon rn.
I’m on my second spool of ASA and love it. It did require me to upgrade to a enclosure and PEI print bed.
On the bike I have an INNOVV K3 front and rear camera system, On my Shoei RF-1400 helmet, I have a chin mounted Runcam Thumb pro powered by a power bank via a USB cable that runs into my jacket. I’m relatively new to getting back on a motorcycle, but I’ve had dashcams in my cars for years and have learned firsthand how they can be a valuable asset.
We now have a Instant Pot Vortex 6 Quart Air Fryer that gets used quite a bit, mornings for toast and lunch prep and heavily on Sundays for meal prep. It replaced our Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven which just got donated because it was collecting dust. That was totally capable of baking, but slower and consumed a lot of counter space, despite rotating up and out of the way. It was fantastic for frozen pizza, but since dietary changes have eliminated those, the basket style is more than capable for chicken and veggies, easier to clean and store too.
I’ve got one of these sitting on the shelf since i got my CR10S PRO V2. Nothing at all wrong with it either, it’s just noisy. I keep it around mostly because it’s direct drive.
I’ve been tempted to do the same thing for years with my Hario Skerton and a Makita 12v driver drill. It’s 400ish cranks every morning. I would imagine a finer grind with an espresso bean would take you much longer. As it is, the morning grind is part of my routine and a much as automating the process, having my drill shared between the garage and the kitchen would introduce it’s own issues.
Now that’s a fantastic budget idea, thank you. I may try exactly that on my smaller printer. I have my CR10 in a comgrow enclosure now and it’s currently 7.5hrs into a 12hr print and it seems to be adhering better to the new PEI bed. Fingers crossed.
Dogs. I’m not an anti dog person, our most recent family dog passed away 5yrs ago and when i left for work, she would howl indoors loud enough for the neighbors to hear. 5 yrs later, i’m getting my due payback. The new neighbors on both sides of me have 3 dogs each that will run to the fence and bark when I go out back and also howl when their owners are away. Several houses down there is a family with a female pitbull that shrieks when she is left in their back yard. a really sweet dog, but has anxiety issues. Normally not an issue, unless it’s the summer and all your windows are open.
I dusted off a sealed roll of polymaker natural ASA for my CR10 V2 pro, trying to print parts for my motorcycle and cars that were previously printed in PLA+. So far a few large parts have warped about 2/3rds of the way through. I purchased a PEI magnetic bed and am now using an enclosure. The benchy i printed looks perfect tho. If i can get it dialed in, i think it will be my favorite.
I come in peace.
