Edit: alright imma put the exposed upper to rest

Normally I wear straight jeans (technically athletic taper) so I'd just fold my pants and cuff them. Easy peasy.

But over the summer I started wearing baggy jeans, because my sister said so. And I liked em.

Haven't worn my boots because of the summer heat, and now I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

I tried tucking but turns out it isn't as simple as I thought. Very time consuming trying to get the perfect tuck because it ain't just about the look but also how comfortable it is for my flesh inside the boot. Get it wrong and I'm back at square one. And you can't tie the boots as tight.

I also feel like a wannabe military dude. My mom once again said I looked like a Nazi 😅😂.

Image 3 I tried the cuff on my other leg. I think I'm going to test it out next time, my main concern is it coming undone. On slimmer jeans, the cuff just kinda becomes natural, and it can snag onto the green tag so it stays in place. With baggy jeans the cuff's radius is huge and at the mecy of swinging back and forth all day.

So yeah that's about it. I still love my babies very very much. These boots are amazing.

Edit 2: I can't edit out the image sorry guys.... I'll make a new post with them tied.

I think my feet are sliding in the shoes and my toes, especially my big toe, keeps get smashed in the front of the shoe. Probably wouldn't hurt as bad if that wasn't the case.

Just gotta get back into the swing of things

edit: I wasn't wearing them in summer because it was always 90 degrees outside. My shoe laces are untied so I can take off my shoes. I don't know how else you would do that.

I moved some stuff but this is the best I could get it. It's only a 30 minute walk from home, maybe I can buy a bike.

It's just friday missing though. We have paper timesheets too so maybe it doesn't matter? Idk.

og post: https://www.reddit.com/r/arduino/comments/1v6bkjk/vibrating_hand_for_lonely_people/

Inside the hand is an ultra sonic sensor, servo and dc motor. There's also an lcd so it can express itself.

A pen is taped to the servo, which is then put into styrofoam in the shape of a finger, and then shoved into the middle finger. The other fingers also have styrofoam in them.

I tried getting it to say different things, but using lcd clear kills the ultrasonic sensor. And so does leaving 16 blank spaces.

The dc motor is redundant because you legit can never feel it, but at this point I'm not dealing with all those wires.

  Ping))) Sensor


  This sketch reads a PING))) ultrasonic rangefinder and returns the distance
  to the closest object in range. To do this, it sends a pulse to the sensor to
  initiate a reading, then listens for a pulse to return. The length of the
  returning pulse is proportional to the distance of the object from the sensor.


  The circuit:
  - +V connection of the PING))) attached to +5V
  - GND connection of the PING))) attached to ground
  - SIG connection of the PING))) attached to digital pin 7

Basically I was inspired by this video https://www.tiktok.com/@scarbonaraa/video/7654262187967515918 to make a hand that vibrates when you touch it.

The vibrator in question is just a dc motor, which I've attached a fan to for visual demonstration. I've learned that you can't just directly connect a dc motor to your arduino, or else it's going to get fried. Luckily mine didn't get fried. I think.

I used modified example code from the ide and yeah that's about it.

I'm thinking of adding an lcd display from the kit so it can communicate its feelings better

And a servo so it twitches on of its fingers.

Percy is literally shonen protagonist. A young boy given great power and on a journey to be the best and grow stronger.

When I was in elementary school I was just amazed at that little Heroes of Olympus intro trailer. You know, this one: https://youtu.be/3aGBo9Ct9kM?si=_ATxtvlXtbRpALqs by Ilyone.

Like look at what studios like MAPPA are doing with Jujutsu Kaisen or Nickelodeon/Avatar Studios with the atla and the new avatar movie. The animation of the elements, the fight choreography, the art style. You can't tell me the riordanverse wasn't born for this.

And given all the magical stuff, I figured it'd be way cheaper than working with vfx, allowing scenes to be just as spectacular without cutting stuff due to budgeting.

We already got 2 movies, a musical and (almost) 3 seasons of a TV show. Rick has already gotten a lot of chances to put his work out there. I'm glad we got something, but in another life I wish things would've gone differently.

And you know, everything else is dead in the water. Except the Kane Chronicles apparently, but I haven't heard anything about that adaption in a minute.
