What do you think the age demographic on Lemmy is? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.

Huh, you know maybe knowing the origin of the joke affects how I determine whether it's derogatory or not?

I did not think about that, but looking back, seems like an easy pitfall.

Good point.

Honesty, I think it would be fairly easy to figure out.

If it is derogatory - homophobe.

If it points out an idiosyncracy, and makes fun of it - queer, or at least not homophobe.

In my experience, bgoted people make jokes that insult and/or demean those people they hate. It is not done primarily to be funny, but to hurt and demean. Making it funny just helps spread it around.

5 pin connector recommendations that have both male and female sockets available in c/askelectronics@discuss.tchncs.de
[–] AnotherMadHatter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

How about a 6 pin connector?

Cable side connector with strain relief. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-industrial-operations/PT06SE-10-6P-SR/341057

Bulkhead connector. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-industrial-operations/PT02SE-10-6S/341071

To include or exclude the strain relief, add or remove the "(SR)" from the part number.

What is this metal connector? in c/whatisthisthing@lemmy.world
[–] AnotherMadHatter@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That is the male side of a bullet connector. You need to either get the corresponding female connector and crimp it on the other wire, then plug them in, or cut it off and use a butt splice to join the two wires.

My favorite to hold you over until you find it.

Despite surging demand for long-term care, providers struggle to find workers in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] AnotherMadHatter@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Yes, but if your caregiver gets sick, either they have to find coverage while they are sick, or you do on short notice.

With a company, they can reassign someone to fill in with little disruption (theoretically). The reality is, they are struggling with hiring and keeping people for all of the reasons listed in this thread, so even if you hire a company, maybe you will get someone to cover for your regular, or maybe you won't.

Crow Making a Noise I Have Not Heard Before (youtube.com)
 

I have been feeding some crows for the last couple of years, and one of them started making this click-cooing sound about a year or so ago. I have caught it now a couple of times, and posted the videos. Has anyone ever heard crows (or ravens, I am still confused as to which is which) making this sound?

I Duplicated the Milwaukee Packout Low Profile and Regular Organizer Bins - And Added Divided Rectangular Bins As Well (www.printables.com)
 

I bought the Milwaukee Packout Low Profile Organizer, and loved everything about it - except the rectangular bin. The fact that it was divided into three sections bothered me, and the fact that it couldn't be divided along the long axis also bothered me, so I modeled it and duplicated it. I wanted my model to be indistinguishable from the original, so instead of just making something that would work, but look out of place, I tried to make something that just blended in and disappeared.

So, I duplicated the rectangular bin, but also moved the separator slots around so that it could be divided into four sections along the short axis, and also be divided in half along the long axis. That meant that it could be divided in a bunch of crazy ways as well, so I modeled a bunch of different dividers for it.

I also modeled the square bin as well, just in case I wanted "spares" that could hold additional stuff that could be swapped out without having to dump stuff from one bin to another. My bin is completely compatible with the Milwaukee bins. They stack on each other, the separator I made fits in the Milwaukee bin, and the Milwaukee separator fits in my bin.

Chatty Crow That Comes By Occasionally (youtube.com)
 

We sometimes feed the local crows - and the occasional Raven as well - and this crow really likes to chitter for a bit before coming down and getting some food.
