I was previously a fairly competitive wow player, with more than 10k hours played of progression raiding and top 1% arena over a decade ago.

I switched to Dota 2, thinking it would be less addicting. Nope, much more, and much more toxic. I've spent more than 20k hours logged into Dota 2.

That's 3 and a half years logged into gaming, which is roughly 10% of my life. W.T.F.... Even if I was only active playing for 1/3rd of that, thats still MORE THAN A YEAR OF TIME SPENT GAMING

And with Dota 2, I started with a high rank, but as I've got older I've become slower and less motivated, I'm just kind

Hi there - I'm visiting your lovely town this Friday. I'm a lover of UK bass music, and know that there is quite a good culture in Bristol for it.

I fly back to my home town in Sydney on Sat night, so I can't send it on Friday unfortunately, but I was wondering if there were any sort of record bar type places that might have a less ravey version of this kind of music going earlier in the day - I'll be livid if I skip the UK without seeing some of your best exports in their home!

I booked a hotel in London with points, says paid on the Qantas side, but upon showing at the hotel they say that the booking is unpaid and that I have to contact my agent

The contact lines for Qantas Hotels are closed for another 4-5 hours, and calling Qantas general inquiries they said they were unable to help me (and that the hotels line would be open lol)

At the moment I've already lost 2 hours of my reservation, and I will be losing more than a quarter of my booking if I wait. The hotel costs about 1k in cash, which I do not want to pay, so I have sent an email to their hotels inquiry inbox, which seems to have gone into the void (says a case number will be sent to me via email, but n

My agent wants me to use a service called Tapi without obtaining my permission (or telling me)

https://www.tapihq.com/privacy-policy

I know because I received an email, and they put a QR code up in my house which associates the property to me.

I received an email to my personal (clean of spam) email address that I only give out sparingly to people I need to be able to contact me without being lost in the spam noise. The email also said a QR code was attached to my property

This implies that they gave this party:

• My private email address that I keep secret
• My home address

This really really concerns me, and I believe is a violation of the APP. The Privacy Policy on that service also

Hello friends

​

I had a PETG incident, which resulted in my BL touch being crushed by a ball of PETG to the point where I'd deem it unrepairable.

As I now have a springsteel plate, I was considering salvaging the currently redundant Z axis inductive endstop, to instead be a bed levelling sensor

My question is, given I already have an ABL marlin working great on the machine, presuming a correct supply voltage, would it just be a matter of plugging the sensor output into the ABL pin?

This is the type of sensor I have in my machine:

I got straight up cartoon fire and I know Bishu will love it

That control LEDs, solenoids spay cycle and pumps (monitor and control pressure, even?) Are there any with wifi capability for remote control and monitoring?

If not, how much would a diy setup of something like this set you back

Context

I am building an aeroponic farming device, which is the 'Thing' in this context. Currently, my main development effort is focused on getting my Thing working in a robust manner, with a web management platform. My Thing is currently able to send and receive small JSON packets to a web location, as well as retrieve configuration as JSON from a web location.

I have built a Django server which serves up the JSON configuration, and I'd also like the server to store and render sensor graphs & event data for my Thing. In future, I'd probably use something like timescale.com as it is a database suited for this application. However right now I only have a ha
