Maybe give the tool and helmet a white outline too: easier identifiable
and another idea would be to mix into the question mark an electrical spark but that are only some random tired ideas.
That are like the only things i found to edit, not sure if it is improvement

Susan_B_Good, to askelectronics in I tried to make an electromagnet at home but when I connect the two copper wires to a 1.5V battery it keeps short circuiting and heating up. Also it doesn't attract other nails.

I’d suggest peeling off just one strand of the wire and use that. You will need to insulate the wire from the nail - Wrapping paper around the nail will do. You will need to insulate the wire from itself, so that adjacent turns don’t touch. You can just space the turns out along the paper sleeve. That should do the trick. If you have twine, you can wind that on with the copper wire and use the twine to keep the turns from touching each other.

Oh to straighten copper wire, if you don’t know this trick - hold your nail in a vice and wrap a single turn of copper wire around it. If you then pull on one end of the wire, keeping a little tension on the other - with a bit of practice it will give you a very straight end result, as the wire pulls away from the nail.

Lepsea,

Is the $70/month worth the price for the “pro” version? Or should i just pirate it?

If your soldering iron is sparking, you have a big problem

linker3000,

SolderSnoo has gone and there’s a placeholder until we get a new icon.

They’ve obviously all changed but the lady third from bottom is almost unrecognisable.

I also had tried making one: postimg.cc/Jyq6HCNX

One problem is that the main content should be within a circle. E.g. the soldering iron would get cut off.

Also yes, literally fucking anything would be better than the current one. I don’t know what the admin is doing…

FrankTheHealer, to memes in It feels like the early days of the internet!!!!

“Can we have something like multireddits please”

“Can someone explain how the Fediverse works”

“I’m making a new Lemmy app”

“I can’t wait for [x] to make a Lemmy app”

“Wtf is a tankie”

“Rule”

“[A meme about being trans]”

“[A meme about being neuro-atypical]”

“[A meme you have seen reposted a dozen times elsewhere]”

“I miss Apollo”

PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I’m just poking fun at trends I’m seeing emerge.

I do this when I don’t remember if it’s .com .net or whatever

In college late 90s I knew one person who would navigate to Yahoo and search for Google.

Hmm.

I do quite a bit of parametric modelling and I see how something like this could be made. Find the angles of the sun at specific times, project planes at a fixed distance and angle matching around your cylinder, sketch the time number you want on each plane with a fixed pitch and then project-cut back through the cylinder. Would be a pain in the ass though. And a pretty tough 3d print without soluble supports, given all those tiny tiny interior walls and cavities.

That’s a cool project, it’d be interesting to see a time-lapse video through full daylight hours (with a couple extra frames at the intervals when the numbers are clearest).

Syrc,

Closest I could find is this 6-hour timelapse

omgitsaheadcrab,

20 minute segments, cool!
