I wish they’d finish the game series properly.

I’ve had some fun with AI image generation. And rephrasing text to make it as if it was written by a WH40K Ork is hilarious.

Any real use case for AI I have yet to find. All code it writes is extremely convoluted if it even runs at all. Much more than my own and I’m not even a real programmer.

My manager thankfully doesn’t require me to use it but the higher ups are really enthusiastic about AI for some reason.

Hmm. I have a 12 channel peristaltic pump at the moment that is meant for watering plants. Meaning they have a lot of downtime so the tubes are compressed for quite some time at the same spot.

Ignore the yellow rollers in the image below, that was experimental. The final version has 3 all metal rollers so the tube is always compressed at one point. Over the tubes are U shaped bracket is mounted for compression.

It’s an entirely custom design from scratch and haven’t uploaded the model to a 3D printing website yet but plan on doing so.

Hmm… I use cheapass silicone tubing, 5mm ID 7mm OD and wear hasn’t been an issue. Perhaps you compress the tube too much. The tube should be held shut so that no liquid flows backwards but also not compressed so much that it wears the tubing out. Your pump should have a variable tensioner on it.

Perhaps also you don’t have enough rollers. At least one roller needs to be in full contact with the tubing (compressing) so that there is no backflow.

I have experience with peristaltic pumps. What issues do you mean?

I would not bet on 3D printing alone. Perhaps consider CNC engraving or lasercutting to go with it. The techniques are all very similar and you can appeal to a wider customer base.

Perhaps with 3D printing it’s worth making lithophanes for people and an engraver to make a nice frame out of wood. I’m considering doing this.

A is for ASS!

It was a Life of Brian reference.

Are there any women here today?

I’m being creative! Daddy would you like some sausages?

I also found it entertaining. It’s so bad that it is fun.

I meant plant pots not pot plants!

It’s still the main power drain in a grow room. I use custom LED strips designed to minimize power waste and for 8 plant pots i have to use at least 250W of power just on the lighting.

Ha ha I’m in danger!

I have a hydroponics setup that would make pot growers jealous but I grow chili’s and tomatoes in it.

I know, bad habit. But I just couldn’t care less about those stupid agreements. I just want the damn popup gone.

At some point it annoys me so much I just hit accept. It’s probably nothing anyway.

This is one of the biggest reasons Reddit has turned to shit.
