I bought a Bunn VP-17 commercial coffee maker over a decade ago and use that. It makes a fresh pot in 3 minutes and it can make 4 gallons of coffee an hour.
Edit: I just looked at the prices these go for currently and I definitely did not pay that much for one. At the time it was around $200 instead of the $400+ they sell for today.
How about building an electric guitar? I made one when I was 17. It does require some special tools. Stewart Mac is a great resource for information and parts/equipment. Check out their book. https://www.stewmac.com/luthier-tools-and-supplies/supplies/...
Building a fender-style guitar first is the easiest route, especially if you use a double-truss neck rod (get it from Stewart Mac). I recommend buying a pre-cut fret board as well. Also, you can use tung oil instead of clear coating. Trying to do an opaque spray job was my biggest regret. I could have oiled my beautiful mahogany body with much better results.
I recommend using an easy to work wood like maple for the first attempt. I found mahogany to be a lot of effort to work. Expect the project to take quite a wile. I think mine took 200 hours.
Great project. It reminds me of the SNL sketch (can't remember which) where the character says "I like to keep a piece of sliced ham folded up in my pocket just so I have my own little secret."
I don't see how this was a result of complex automation or software appliances interfering with the captain and first officer's ability to fly the plane. The investigation concluded the flight was recoverable until just five seconds before impact. The plane was in full manual flight configuration well before impact. The captain failed to keep the first officer inside the control loop by failing to call out what he was doing and as a result the first officer made the situation worse. The captain stopped giving callouts in response to his perceived frustration with the control tower and the commands they gave.
The pilot(s) attempted to basically program the aircraft to go around. By the time they finally committed to flying rawdog too much confusion had been created and too much situational loss. The whole "average input" thing kinda kicked them while they were down and that was it.
Yes, they could have saved it with better communication too but the amount of time they spent trying to "manage the airplane" and respond to it's behaviors and its systems behaviors between being told to go around and crashing clearly detracted from their ability to simply fly the thing.
Already did, but I still use forums like this site and Reddit in a mostly anonymous capacity. If you want to quit unfollow everyone and everything. It took time but one day my facebook feed just said "we don't have anything to show you.", and that was it, I was free.
This is for you, @Pickletickler9000, and everyone else who has bought a pre-built PC. You can build your own PC. It is very easy and you can build them in all kinds of shapes and sizes. It is also much less expensive. The sky is the limit for $2700. Take the money and build something to your specs so you can go back to your video editing gig.
Learning to create a web app is a fine endeavor, however, if you already have something that works and you want to sell it to other students why not focus on that? For example, what if you sold it on itch.io to other students? That way you have a sense for whether or not people are willing to buy it before you decide to rewrite your app into a web app.
I agree. NATS is much more simplistic to use and deploy. Easy to run locally for development. Jetstream offers useful features like persistent streams, and kv and object stores.
