I'm making a Halloween costume that features my head inside a box. All good if In use my hands to support said box, but I'd like my hands to be free.
This seems like a solved problem, got any hints on how I might support the box so its stable while leaving my arms and hands free?
I couldn't bring myself to spend hundreds on a bike bike, at least not without more travel on the horizon. So card board it is. But... Wheels sound nice. So, I got some castors and trimmed some spare 2x6 and now... Wheels!
Hello Making Friends
I am making a footprint for a tent from tyvek: should I hem the exterior so that the fabric folds over from the top side and is sewn (or taped) to the underside? What about adding gromets?
I am thinking that the hem would keep ground water from seeping between the tent and foot print if it were to rain.
I am also thinking this is too much work for very little benefit, and an unfinished edge is simple, easier, and just as durable (this is freaking House wrap).
Thoughts?
On my pixel 6 the home button returns me to my home screen, or it used to. Recently, if I am on a google search (from the home screen google search widget), home does nothing.
I'm expecting it to return me to the home screen - that's what it does on a pixel 7.
I don't think I've made any changes to cause this, any idea how to get it back?
Low effort post. Higher effort: change bees to beans.

Am I right to be annoyed that I have two broken spokes after having a reputable shop fix 1 broken spoke a few days ago?
I'm out doing a tour, tomorrow is the last big day - 45ish miles. The rear end felt a little squidgey coming out of the woods this evening. I figured I was low on air but No! Two new broke spokes (rear wheel, drive side, broke off in the J bend, holes are right next to each other).
I got to practice using a fiber fix - and truth be told we aren't really doing anything rough, so I imagine things will be fine. But... Dang, I wish the shop would have told me the tension was off and I was going to break more - I would have brought another fiber fix!
Btw: fiber fix is a neat little hack. But a PITA to install on the drive side. What finally worked for me was: make a 'clean' end by cutting the end I messed up trying the first time. Then, reenforcing the end with super glue and some tape (so the end would hold together while forcing it through the hub hole). A bright light and a tiny Leatherman squirt were required.

Some friends and me out rolling around Vancouver island. Here we are headed out of Victoria to Duncan. Really nice, relaxed riding most of the way.
I'm out rolling around Victoria with some friends, one is a wine buyer. He got the good local stuff for the gang to try. I really wanted some, just a bit... Decided to pass.
Gotta be a pretty early bird to get close at zoo tunes. Nice to see some music outside!
I am trying to login at reddthat.com/login using both my email address and username - no dice, just a green spinny icon endlessly.
I've tried on my phone (duck browser) and on desktop chrome. Tried incognito mode - no change. Infact, I dont get any response even with known bad credentials.
In Devtools - I don't even see a call being made to the server.
I think Incognito rules out any plugins - any idea what might be up?
