Haha. My brain went the same direction you did - After reading the post text, I thought OP might be looking to use the device as a standalone media player, not just client. I hadn’t noticed that OP specified “Client” in the title.

Same vibe but I only use the +30s button to enter cook time. Bonus points to microwaves that automatically start when you press +30.

The article was referring to the cost to replace them, which would be both the equipent (camera, solar panel, pole, mounting hardware) and labor.

Edit: so yes, all told it appears to cost $3k to have a camera. But the camera piece alone would cost a lot less than that.

And—at the very least—wear some safety glasses.

Unemployment numbers are counted based on how many people are collecting unemployment.

Unemployment insurance claims aren’t used to measure the unemployment rate in the US. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump thinks they are… Nor would I be surprised if he tries (or is trying) to change the measure so that it is based on unemployment claims.

To be clear I’m not saying the US’s unemployment numbers are good—they are distorted to make the unemployment number look smaller than it is. One issue is that People must be actively looking for work to be considered “unemployed”, otherwise they aren’t part of the “labor force” and don’t count at all. It doesn’t matter if they are capable of work, want to work, and spent a year straight looking for work; if they aren’t actively looking now, they don’t count. Additionally, if a person is doing any work at all—even a few hours a week at minimum wage, or doing a bit of unpaid work for a family business—they are considered an employed member of the labor force. It doesn’t matter if they are broke, homeless, and desperately looking for a job; they count as an employed member of the labor force.

That’s because it is poetry. Mom might need a psych eval, but it’s still poetry (and I love it).

The button has a part number on the housing - but I’m pretty sure the apartment manager would frown on you opening the machine up.

One idea: find the model number of the washing machine and contact the manufacturer to see if they can give you a part number for the button and/or sell you a replacement part.

Thanks for the details and links! If I ever get around to building my own, I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’m not much of an engineer - my approach tends to be a combination of “that seems like it would be sturdy,” “I’ll just copy this design that seems sturdy,” and “I’m not sure, so I’ll overbuild it just in case”. How did you decide on your structural design/bracing?

That is gorgeous! Now I feel like I need to build one to replace my harbor freight workbench… I guess I’ll add that to my ever growing pile of projects :)

What are the two doodads sticking out of the dog holes on the angle brace?

And any tips on picking out flip down casters? Seems like that would be a great feature.

Dang, that is really crisp! It jumps off the page. How big is the page? 3x4?
