I saw a (what now I understand to be a single stage) steam engine at a museum a few months ago. I must understand how this works. Anyone have any good links to information from "concept" to "operation" for steam engines?

Thank you.

"This isnt exclusive to autism". Okay I said it, everybody shut up now. Lol yeah I do this all the time too. I reply things over and over.

What do you like to print? I like making useful things. Currently Im working on a system for mobility aids to attach items like phone charger batteries and cup holders... and my ham radio!

My wife is ADHD, and I'm Autistic. I think we balence out each other, though we did have a funny experiance one time where someone (A doctor at a hospital I was at) asked her if she was autistic too, and my wife said, "No, why do you ask?" And the Dr said, "Well they tend to find each other". I did date one other person before her, and she was on the spectrum, and honestly, it didn't work very well, because we did not solve each others meltdowns, and when we did, it tended to go badly. On the upside, her ADHD lets her focus on everything that needs to be done at once, while my focus lets me remind her what she was doing, then she reminds me of all the things I didn't do yet, that didn't even cross my mind, such as breakfast, or meds. I get asked the tough questions sometimes even like "Have you had water today?", "Have you eaten?"

Diversity is good for each other I think.

Cooking (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Does anyone else do "Iterative cooking"? I like to make sometime, and then make it again, with a little tweak to make it better. I record all of my ingredients and amounts of everything so I can cook consistantly. It's my dream to make some favorites, and make them the same way every time.

I use a cheap pc I was not using, and let it do folding@home when I'm not printing... Actually... it does it while printing too. Anyways, Just get another board that handles klipper and just add it? Is there a specific "USB to Stepper" board, or do I just hotwire in another motherboard. I have the Ender 3 Pro with the "magical probably wont burn down your house" power supply, is that enough for another board, if I'm running another stepper?

Thanks!

 

I'm considering making some upgrades to my ender 3 Pro, such as one of the multi material upgrades, but that would require more motors. Anyone know of a good motherboard? Thanks!

They all get baked in the shower.

Thank you autocorrect, I'm leaving it.

 

I enjoy reading, and like to ask random questions on AMAs from time to time, did that make the move? If so, where? If not, why?

I recall having to explain to someone that we could use netscape navigator, even though we paid for "MacNet" internet service. There was concern that it was not allowed at our house.

Honestly, I'm interested in 8 bit, I've played with other stuff and it seems to familiar. The NABU mentioned was a lot of fun in the emulator last night. I want something I might learn some asm on. The commodore was a strong condenser until last night, that's for sure.

EDIT: also, yes, fires are aweful. Don't recommend them. They mean dealing with... Insurance... Banks... Other evils.

Just curious, what does one need to get started with this thing? Probably more then what comes in the box? Looks interesting that's for sure.

 

So, Last year I lost my vintage computers (most of them a work in progress) in a house fire. I've started rebuilding my collection. I've got my TI-83+ still, I consider that to be one. It was with me when the fire happened, and I have an old windows 95 computer I got my hands on, still not sure what to do with him yet. Ideas on projects/places to go next. Would love to find something reliable that can takes datasets, but is reasonably priced.
