Mildly interesting Japan version. I drove past this sign today in Fukuoka-Ken.

The picture is from the internet. I was driving so I obviously couldn't take my own.

Looking for: Sweet Banana Chill pepper sauce like Miller's.

I've been gifted some banana peppers and my favourite sweet chili sauce ever is Miller's. I'd love to be able to make a batch at least similar.

Does anyone have a good recipe.

Thank you so much.

Pineapple upside down cake.

I was gifted 4 (4!) pineapples so I decided to make one of my favourites from back home.

It's supposed to be pineapple rings but I only thought of making the cake when I had already cut it into strips.

30,000JPY for the Yamaha P145 was quite reasonable, but ¥13,000 for the stand was, frankly, ridiculous. But for ¥1,300 worth of plywood....

I made my own. I want to paint it black but my son likes it as is.

The clips to fix the piano to the stand were made on my 3D printer.

Positive Spark Neo. Downloaded patches are so quiet.

Any patch I downloaded is significantly quieter than the stock patches available in the app.

Of course I turn up the volume on the amp effect but it's never even close.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Smartphone, Watch, and ticket gate all showing different amounts on Suica.

Has anybody experienced this?

Watch shows around ¥4000

Phone shows ¥1800 (on the watch Suica)

Ticket gate shows ¥2500

Everything is synced and up to date. It never been out of sync for more than a few minutes before.

Obviously I've asked Google too, but being Suica being Japan specific I thought someone here might have experienced it.

I'm assuming the **true** amount is what the ticket gate show.

Thanks.

Anyone had success roasting Kabocha seeds at home?

According to many sources on the internet it's perfectly possible to roast Kabocha seeds but as the husk is very tough you need to boil them in salt water for 10 to 15 minutes first, then roast at 150.

I tried it. Absolutely inedible. Tough and fibrous.

I tried boiling for 25 minutes. Inedible.

Is this possible or should I give up now?

Thanks.

A friend brought back Macarons from her trip to Paris, and it was one of the most incredible things I've ever eaten. Incomparable to the ones made here.

No advice. No recipe, I just need to share with some like minded people.

Im looking for a pumpkin projector video similar to the Atmos FX ones but 1) For a single pumpkin 2) A ten minute or so loop of various facial expressions, laughing etc.

Any way to make it myself?

​

Simple video editing software that I could do it with?

​

Any existing videos matching my needs?

​

Sound is not necessary.

​

I want to project it onto a real or paper mache pumpkin (large real pumpkins are rare here)

​

I don't need projector recs thanks. I already have a good one.

​

Thank you.

3D Print for foot switch topper for MS and MS+

Zoom use a non standard size for the foot switch so standard cheap switch toppers don't fit. 

This topper fits MS and MS+.  I assume it will fit other Zoom units but I do not have any other models on hand for testing.  It is a very snug friction fit.

TinkerCad link here

You may also spot my easy grip replacement knobs. I found the original ones too small and slippery. Feel free to print yourself a set. Link here

ECG not working on brand new PW4.

The phone app says that the ECG is ready to go but the app fails every time on the watch and ask me to restart the app.

I have tried every "fix" I can find online. Fitbit support sent me a list of fixes that didn't work. According to the help desk agent it is a problem that is known and "We are working on a fix". And please be patient.

Anybody else?

Bazz Fuzz built into the smallest enclosure I had.

I wanted to make a battery powered fuzz pedal in the smallest enclosure that I had on hand. I even had to file off part of the flange on the lid where the battery is to allow it to fit.

To save battery power the circuit is only completed when the input cable is connected**and** the foot switch is pushed down. In bypass mode there is no power being drawn. There is no issue with pops on power up. It works better than I expected.

Based on my current usage the battery should last several years.
