There were no loose energized cable ends in this story, fyi. The light strip was your standard white LED tape cut in the middle of the copper pads [0]. I soldered the USB cable's power leads to the copper pads [1] and then covered the

In 2021 I cut the end off a USB cable to expose the power leads which I scotch taped to the power meter on my bike to charge it. I kept that cable. In 2024 I used it to add USB disconnects to the light strip I attached to the bottom of my s

The only things I can think of are: cheap track saws in Europe, and combination jointer/planers. There are two makerspaces near me with wood shops, and one has a French combo machine while the other has two separate machines. It saves

I do a lot of this and `pbpaste | sed s/^ // | pbcopy` and things like that. It just fits my brain better. What's nice about raycast as a macOS pasteboard manager is that whatever you last selected via Cmd-Shift-V is

Maybe things have changed since 2022, but per the Fed's survey that year, the median American had $8,000 in transaction accounts alone (not unrealized stock gains, vehicles, houses, retirement, etc.). Because that's a median, 50%

I smoked less in Prague than in the US. I was addicted to nicotine, sure, but I was also addicted to taking a little vacation outside whatever venue, and in Prague (in 2008) you could smoke just about anywhere.
