I feel like this could be equally at home as an instructional example for dealing with challenging situations. It definitely doesn’t hit the same as the cats commenting about licking buttholes.

I had never heard of Severance before and was curious what exact argument was going to be made 😅

I do! That is a key to a house I haven’t been to since 2018. It’s my package opening key 🙂 But good info to share! Don’t post your keys.

I think @[email protected] and @[email protected] have the right direction with theDermestidae family of beetles. Looking at some pictures of the adult stage, I have seen those occasionally, and tried to use the Seek app to get an answer on them. These beetle looks pretty close to the larder beetle. Their life cycle seems to fit what I am seeing with the timeline.

I have some better photos but do not know how to add more. It is almost certainly this family. Maybe this one is a random visitor; it is on the wall where I park my bike.

I really like inaturalist (seek) but it failed me.

I think that you and @[email protected] have gotten pretty close if not on the exact! I did not just recently purchase anything taxidermied… Is this going to be like miller moths?

I wish I could get a better photo. I do not have a macro lens but I may be able to get better details with a real camera.

Anyway, from up close observation with a small pen light, it looks like the “legs” really are “hairs,” and the legs are all underneath the body, caterpillar style.

If you are in a position to see a neurologist, that could be a great way to get a better answer. I have seen a neurologist regularly for almost 30 years for something else, but also have minor tremors/twitches that predated why I see the neurologist. My twitches are like an eyebrow vibing, or a small portion of thigh muscle, etc. Anyway, neither of the neurologists I saw for over ten years felt I should be concerned, but I also didn’t pursue it. I had other concerns. A main/family doctor may be able to help, also. Not sure.

Anyway, doctors should listen, and then they may have questions about things like family history. That is really where the quality of life can matter. It isn’t about now, but later. If you can afford the doctor visit.

I did not know that Mull was dead. Thank you for sharing! I will have to make a change.

When I first got involved in this, I had a kbin and a lemmy account. I ended up focusing on the kbin, but it was useful to have the lemmy to see how things moderated. Kbin is dead now, but I still will occasionally use the lemmy to see how things look. I find it valuable. As an mbin person now, I think I should have some other instances in the mix as well. It’s a federation, and for me, I would like things to be appropriate for all of us. It’s kind of fun! Even if I am not a big user of other instances/federations?

The important thing is tension, for the thread to be tight. If you can do this, happy engineering! My similar machine, tension on the string is hard, more with a longer length/step.

I am not an engineer, either 🤔 I see your front picture, my machine is similar. I would not be able to change anything myself. As @[email protected] mentioned, these really are highly engineered. If you change one thing, you must change everything.

I understand you know how to change the step length that can be changed now, yes? You say <2mm to 5mm. My very similar machine can go to almost 10mm but it cannot keep the thread very tight. This is the limiting thing, the machine, every part, is designed for sewing a length of 2-8mm or whatever. A longer stitch step would need a complete change and probably a stronger motor.

By moving the knob or lever that changes the stitch step length, you will see what is going on.

If you want to have a longer “step,” you will probably need a larger machine. The limit of that length factors in things like the max thread size and how much tension the machine can maintain. Your machine is for sewing clothes, the longer stitch lengths will be for a more decorative use and would not be durable as a main support stitch.

What communities/instances are these from?

Haha another “great” memory wrapped up in that video.

I see. I bought my first laptop in 2013 (used), and by then I was pretty ensconced in Linux. That machine didn’t have those ports.

Some of what you said about appearances of women vs men have to do with toxic culture. 50 yo man with gray? Hot dad bod. 50 yo woman with gray? Past her prime. It’s complete crap and enforces unhealthy habits. Not that you believe these things, but “society” does.
