No offense but your post is kinda half baked. It’s not really clear what you are imagining this to be. Position sensing is a wide field. It really depends on the rest of the design. You could use rotary or linear encoders. I saw some diy video that used a magnetometer…

Personally if I wanted to reinvent the wheel for a space flight sim type controller is do something like mount a joystick to what would essentially be a delta robot are with series elastic actuators. Alternatively mount an interface on a Stewart platform, again using series elastic actuators. This approach would be fun but real use you would run into the gorilla arm syndrome problem.

I’ve used them, they have all 6DoF. No modifiers. The fancy ones have macro buttons too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqTRJ7oTKII&t=0

Any tips for learning docker. I got it up and running on a raspberry pi following tutorials but can’t seem to figure out how to connect the dots with the project I’m trying to get running on it. The project assumes I know docker so their documentation is non existent. I can’t seem to find what I need in docker’s documentation. I’m kinda stuck.

The ability to sync with something other than MyFitnessPal? Nope.

I was in central America recently and Google translated this for me recently

bitácora => binnacle

From the rest of the context I realized it just means log, but still. I found it very amusing. I told the folks I was working with that I learned two new words that day.

How Regan didn’t get impeached over Iran Contra is baffling.

… Had to check but you definitely use a base for that, not an acid.

I moved from LastPass free to bitwarden paid. Very happy with the upgrade. I can manage my aging parents passwords and share joint account info with my spouse.l

Interesting! It seems to be German sellers, not sure if they would ship to the US…

With so many ingredients I would suggest using the taguchi method for experimentation.

I really like how this video explains it for those not familiar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oULEuOoRd0&t=0

Revenge Bedtime Procrastination

Unless of course you don’t want to pull the paint off your wall.

Just use painters tape/masking tape. If you want to get fancy gaffer tape.

wrap it through and around a ring magnet multiple times

You are describing an inductor not a capacitor. They can be basic low pass filters but I don’t think they will work in this case.

Dexpot was a virtual desktop fir Windows that appears to be abandoned

I did something similar, but was annoyed by all the jumping around when opening excel or word or PDFs… Plus even just having a group of emails and an explorer window open on a couple desktops really starts to eat ram it seems. Forget about solid works in that situation.

If they allowed you to save desktops and fixed the jumping issues it might be useful.

Depot was so much better.

Insurance company are subject to regulations. They are lots of different regulations for different types of insurance and different states. The goals are to ensure that they are able to pay out when things go wrong, and to ensure a fair consumer practice. Generally all of the premiums they collect are supposed to be payed out and a large percent of the money is supposed to be held in reserve. They are supposed to be making money on investing the premiums.

It’s not about them winning the bet that they won’t have to pay. If they won that bet too much, it would be reflected in too high premiums, and competitors would just under cut them.

If ridicule keeps the percentage at 0.5% instead of growing to 1% its incredibly virtuous

That if is doing a lot of lifting. One of the points of the movie is that people and media was laughing off the flat earthers and they grew in strength to have a national movement.

My takeaway is there is something driving that contrarian attitude. We need to figure out how to address those underlying causes rather than exacerbating them through ostracization.

Really good documentary. I watched it while trying to engage over at reddit’s AskTrumSupporters. It was interesting to see that community become more and more radicalized as the years went on, as the insane bullshit piled up. Helped me come to terms with the fact that engaging on that level is counter productive if anything.
