Thanks for reminding me! Maybe I’ll have pancakes for dinner tonight 😅

Am I the only one who actually looked for more pixels for this guy?

Anywho, here you go my guy:

Edit: hmmm, Lemmy seems to be compressing it. Here’s a link.

Did the same thing. Easy peasy

Nope, made it scarier.

Also bad is when the big flakes are coming down heavy, flying over your windshield, lit up by your headlights. It’s like your flying at light speed, hard to see the road

Don’t need to go to China for this. Back when Michigan had real winters, less than a decade ago, this was a regular occurrence.

My cat is not listed.

We found him on our porch. When people ask his breed we just say porch cat.

Name is Fluffy.

Asking the real questions

Yeah a bummer. But I’ve still got plans to get some height, and I’ve got some friends who are gonna join in on the fun, I’m hoping we can mesh our houses 😁

Yep everything is default. US, longfast 🤷‍♂️

We’ll see what happens when I get a node up even higher. Maybe I can tap into an existing mesh from the outskirts

So far no nodes other than the two I bought. I got the upgraded longer antenna, and went out on my second story balcony in a suburban area, nothing.

Looks like I’ll be the change I want to see in the world haha.

Looks sweet. I might end with something like that eventually, but honestly I really like the idea of using my phone and just linking the mesh device to it. Reminds me of the old goTenna before they sold out.

Do you have somewhere high you could mount a repeater/router node to? Like the chimney of your house or something? Would make it even easier to connect with people, at least from home.

I’m planning on putting a few up, one at my house and each of my buddies houses.

Seems like most people are saying there’s way more nodes than the map shows. It’s not a guarantee though. I say give it a try!

Small high power flashlight, about the size of a tube of m&ms. People laugh at it all the time, but it comes in handy weekly, sometimes daily.

Think of how many times you pull out your credit cell phone light. Now imagine being able to light up a room like daylight if need be. Very useful.

Those same people who laugh, eventually realize the value, and come asking for my light when we’re together and it’s needed

I keep a pair of those loop ones in my backpack for the same reason

Well, also no. I mean, I do, and so do many of my friends. But many people rely on all seasons. It’s… Not the best plan. But a lot of people do it.

This is us basically. Though we’re pretty busy, so we usually try to cook 2 maybe 3 meals a week, and eat the leftovers on the days in between.

Don’t get me wrong, we cook good stuff, we just purposely make a lot. I’m not going through all that effort for one tiny meal, unless it makes sense to do so, like we won’t be home for meal times or something so it would go bad.

But we keep some premix stuff around, and I have a few fast but not so healthy scratch recipes I can whip up in a jiffy. That’s usually us on Tuesday nights.

I’ve got one where I literally just throw rice, chix broth, frozen precooked (by me) chicken, frozen mixed veggies, and garlic/other spices into a rice cooker. That way I can just slap it together, jump in the shower, and eat quick before leaving again. Sometimes life is just that way.

Tell me more.

I’d like to make these pancakes you describe. I’m assuming you melt the butter first before mixing it in? Roughly how much milk is a good starting point?

I used to make Bisquick pancakes all the time, and recently changed to a name brand just add water kind because I tried it for camping once and realized it tastes just as good as the Bisquick, or good enough. I’m assuming that’s because Bisquick pancakes are also not actually that good, based on others in this thread.

I like convenience, but I also like good food. I’m gonna make both and do a blind taste test with the wife.

Agreed. Though I think it’s cool, it’s gonna be spendy.

If it could be less than $150, or better yet less than $100, I’d be in. Otherwise I might pass.
