Plastic-cutting thread screws can also be great for this; the threads have higher pitch and wide spacing, but aren't as deep as a wood screw. The <1000-pack selection on Small Parts / Amazon can be slim, but in the last year Bambu started selling small packs for reasonable prices.
I did this and lost 18% of my body weight (BMI 36 to 29) after reading Gary Taubes. It works. The resulting blood chemistry worried my doctor.
Worse, it’s excruciatingly boring. The 60th serving of fatty steak is no longer delicious. I lusted for a crouton. Even onions are a cheat in a glycemic load regime.
When I was single, strategies like having no sugar, alcohol, or refined carbs in the house were practical, but living with a family and especially with young kids, they really aren’t.
I regained it all and more. I’ve made follow-on efforts and had several +/- 30lb swings.
I started tirzepatide three months ago. I echo what others have said above: I never understood satiety before this. Keeping keto takes excruciating willpower in comparison. I now know what it feels like to eat 3/4 of a normal dinner with balanced macros and not think about food till lunchtime the next day.
There’s a big difference between maintaining constant vigilance against desire and having none.
Have a look at Pixelblaze. It's a subset of JS on an ESP32 with no compilation - you code in a web browser and the LEDs just render live. I've done plenty of Arduino; this sidesteps the mundane getting-started knowledge base.
This $6 37-LED mini hexagonal board is a fun starting point, cheaper than most strips and matrices:

You've probably seen Poll Everywhere before; PollEv enables presenters to build apps into slide decks and have audience members respond on their phone/laptop/SMS. The responses are displayed live, on the presenter's screen for everyone to see. PE is how new ideas are collected and communicated.I think we're still the largest YC company by revenue to have never raised money after YC. This...
I'm bradgessler's cofounder. We were promised support in an email. That statement about lack of support for paid customers was added after we paid them and experienced the 3-5 day turnaround times. As I recall, the tickets were mostly us reporting defects.
Raising is a great thing. Bootstrapping feels harder though.

Hmm. "Company Rep" "Garry Tan" said Posterous would support hosted CF scripts a year ago. Glad to finally hear you're releasing these critical new features.
Indeed Stonebreaker is a living legend. Entrepreneurs may find it interesting that he is currently pitching VCs a commercial venture to augment his latest DB project,

There's almost no possibility it was accidental. I know it's impossible to stomach and the mind has the find a pattern or assign a reason when facts seem to "not add up".
Everyone wants to ask these questions, so I don't fault you for asking.
These used to be $50:

Expensive, but these are what my dad's WISP uses:

They are not not mesh, and they involve config. You can buy them on licensed spectrum as well. Bulletproof, amazing range and bandwidth.
You'll be ok. I've never seen anything endanger your ego :)

I like sexy women, but I hate the picture of the floozy in the lower right fixed div. It says, "Stripd views sexy as drunk, dumb, and missing shoes." What word do you think comes to anyone's mind after "knock-kneed"?
But this may be a better idea than trying to rid the Internet of ads (the Stripd alpha business model).
At PollEverywhere, we got a great head start from textmarks.com (41411). Although we may outgrow it, it's got the most straightforward API of any.
We're also big fans of Twilio. We're eager for dictionary-constrained speech recognition. Great job, Jeff.
Premium SMS is a shady armpit of telecom. Non-profits actually can't do fundraising over premium SMS because the carriers take a 55% cut of revenues and are ashamed of it (they say they don't have a reliable process for certifying non-profit campaigns). They made an exception during Katrina. Our answer is to let people send a text message to pledge a donation at a live event, and process payment a different way later.
$2000/month minimum from the best service provider, mBlox. MO (from a cell phone) is free and actually pays you revenue share from carriers at volumes above 50K/mo. MT (the "spam direction") is 2.5-4 cents each.
