waz, 1 year ago to asklemmy in What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?

The one I got has metal gears. They are the main point of frustration. They don’t really make a full rotation without getting bound/jammed up. Slow, fast, or somewhere in-between, it always felt like I was fighting to get the only moving parts to move.

I’ve no problem with simple. I like simple. For me, this thing isn’t simple, it’s frustrating.

Maybe I just got a bad one. A lot of people seem to have an appreciation for it that matches yours. I’d be inclined to exchange it for a different one. Sadly, Amazon refuses to accept it as a returnable item.

waz, 1 year ago to asklemmy in What hobby do you have that no one else in your family shares?

She’s willing to go camping and will ask me to 3d print stuff for her, but doesn’t really have much interest in being more involved in that.

Generally speaking, she is supportive of all me doing all of these hobbies, just not interested herself.

I keep my recipes in a git repo formatted with markdown and pushed to GitHub.

It is easy to view on a phone or tablet, I have a history of changes I make over time, and it’s easy to share with other people.

Any new recipes I find online I can usually edit fairly quick and add it to the repo so I don’t have to scroll through someones family history and how it relates to some dish every time I want to make it.

It’s very much the solution of a programmer, but it works well for me.

In others, I try to ignore it or find it amusing.

In myself, I try to learn things to keep it at bay.
