I saw a (what now I understand to be a single stage) steam engine at a museum a few months ago. I must understand how this works. Anyone have any good links to information from "concept" to "operation" for steam engines?...

What do you like to print? I like making useful things. Currently Im working on a system for mobility aids to attach items like phone charger batteries and cup holders... and my ham radio!
I'm really confused about this. On one hand (✋), I can see how dating an autistic person would be amazing because we would just understand each other on another level. We would get each other's emotions, meltdowns, joy, special interests, hyperfocus, communication style, etc. Also, there's no NT partner to miss whatever NT...
My wife is ADHD, and I'm Autistic. I think we balence out each other, though we did have a funny experiance one time where someone (A doctor at a hospital I was at) asked her if she was autistic too, and my wife said, "No, why do you ask?" And the Dr said, "Well they tend to find each other". I did date one other person before her, and she was on the spectrum, and honestly, it didn't work very well, because we did not solve each others meltdowns, and when we did, it tended to go badly. On the upside, her ADHD lets her focus on everything that needs to be done at once, while my focus lets me remind her what she was doing, then she reminds me of all the things I didn't do yet, that didn't even cross my mind, such as breakfast, or meds. I get asked the tough questions sometimes even like "Have you had water today?", "Have you eaten?"
Yes, and I'll include other items I carry on my walker as well:
Steam Deck
Battery Packs for phones/devices
no less then 4 two way radios
Ham radio gear
Charger cables for everything I own.
A change of clothes
baby wipes
Medication
My other wallet.
note takeing stuff
a laptop? (Sometimes)
TI-83+ Graphing Calculator (Gotta have my trusty old guy)
Kindle
EPI Pens
Water Bottle
Snacks
Other stuff I probably forgot.
I got some good quality noise cancelling headphones 12 months ago and thought they were great. Since doing more reading about ASD and ADHD, I've come to understand I have some sensory issues....
Does anyone else do "Iterative cooking"? I like to make sometime, and then make it again, with a little tweak to make it better. I record all of my ingredients and amounts of everything so I can cook consistantly. It's my dream to make some favorites, and make them the same way every time.
I’m considering making some upgrades to my ender 3 Pro, such as one of the multi material upgrades, but that would require more motors. Anyone know of a good motherboard? Thanks!
So, Last year I lost my vintage computers (most of them a work in progress) in a house fire. I've started rebuilding my collection. I've got my TI-83+ still, I consider that to be one. It was with me when the fire happened, and I have an old windows 95 computer I got my hands on, still not sure what to do with him yet. Ideas on...

Fellow auties, which do you find is a better and healthier fit for you: dating another autistic person or an NT?

Anyone else travel with a backpack nearly everywhere you go? If so, what's in there?
Let's see how much we have in common with our backpack inventories.

500 error on social.SDF.org
The SDF mastodon instance “social” is throwing errors for me, is this a known thing?
Good system to get in to.
