Not being able to install Graphene OS

Are you using an American, Canadian, British or metric cup ?

Because they are all different measurements.

For 3D printers I think prusa is the bramd that can be trusted with quality.

They are expensive but made in Europe and very reliable out of the box. I’ve been printing tons of parts for the renovation of my house and tools organization with no issues. I just start the print and come back once it done. Now I even do it remotely from work.

Compared to my brother who had a Ender 3, tinkered quite a lot with it but was constantly baby sitting the prints and eventually just gave up on it.

Opinel is amazing too for knives. Their pocket knives are cheap, sharp and easy to sharpen and durable.

Same, none of the Brazilian I’ve meet said they ever been murdered.

This kind of embarrassing moment ?

I lived for two years in Cameroon when I was a kid (around 4-5 years old), we were regularly spending time with another family who had kids and the same age.

Fast forward 15 years later, I’m 19 entering university in a totally new city in France. The first day every student is sitting in the amphitheater and they call the name of every student.

When they call the last name of the person close to me I recognize the name so I use it as an ice breaker to start a conversation saying that I knew a family with his name in Cameroon when I was a kid … He says that yeah he lived in Cameroon as a kid at the same time as I did, so here we go we found each other again 15 years later !

Applied to a real situation I’ve been through :

• my pool 4.5m wide, 9m long and 1.5m deep, the current level of salt is 2.5g/l and a bag of salt weight 20kg. How many bags of salt do I need to bring the level to 3g/l ?
• OR: my pool 14’9" wide, 29’6" long and 5’ deep, the current level of salt is 2500ppm and a bag of salt weights 40lbs. How many bags of salt do I need to bring the level to 3000ppm ?

The answer to one is 1.5 bag, the answer to the other one is “fuck that, I’m getting 8 bags at the store and it should be good enough”

I think I’m on an accepting phase too.

I’ve been through a lot personally and emotionally since I started reading about collapse 9 years ago.

I had a look at this publication a few years ago, it put me in a rough place for a few days.

Recalibration of limits to growth: An update of the World3 model

Humanity will survive I’m certain of it, however our thermo industrial civilization will not and most of the people currently living in the planet will not.

It will happen whatever I personally do.

The best I can do now is to find ways to have the happiest life I can using as little ressources as possible for my family, my community (neighbors, friends …) and me. It’s a process that forces us to reassess a lot of things we were doing but it is fascinating.

Practically it means finding ways to lower our monthly expenses, try to consume local as much as possible and learning a lot of new techniques…

Don’t forget ISO216 for paper size. It does not make sense that the US is still using “letter” and “legal” paper size.

This is a huge win compared to gold mining.

Gold mining is using cyanure and caustic soda (in the best case, the worst case is using boiling mercury)

He could be seeing a speech therapist in too, but one is giving him technique and exercise in how to improve and the other is helping him get practice.

Composing is really easy once you understand one basic rule: if it smell you have to much humid nitrogen.

Add a good amount of carbon to it and the smell will be gone the next day. Carbon can be dry leaves, cardboard, wood … Usually “brown” material.

The is the exact same thing in dry toilet or chicken coop, if it smell bad add some carbon to it to bring back the balance between nitrogen and cardboard.

For people interested an extensive report by French appliance store after sale service. It gives the reliability of each brand. There is a note for the reliability, ease and cost of repair.

It’s only in French unfortunately : https://www.darty.com/achat/services/barometre-sav/barometre.html

One word: privatization

Oil is honestly an amazing product, chemistry wise there is so much we can do with it and energy wise it’s a extremely concentrated and easily transported form of energy.

Energy wise one liter of oil is equivalent to 10 person working for a day !

I repeat, using one liter of oil is like having 10 “slaves” working for us for a day.

Its easy to see why oil became the base of our modern civilization, and easy to see why we don’t manage to stop using it even though it’s destroying us.

I’m doing that and generally the next step after that is : “OK, can you do it again and this time DO NOT CLOSE THE ERROR POPUP so we can get information on what is happening”

Plus your probably save on gas too.

At least 4-7 times a week. I have not read anything about an upper limit so go for it.
