that's not "steampunk"

it's just made out of an item that steampunk fetishizes

and look at the guy's picture, there's no way that he's listening to abney park and buying cog cufflinks on etsy

p sure you can drive a stepper motor with gpio from the pi and a couple of cheap components, he just wanted to tick another box on his kickstarter bingo card and couldn't find a way to 3d print a bottle opener onto it

Hi there!
First of all, thank you so much for taking your time looking at my page. My name is Hannah and I'm an 18 years old student (for 2 shorter days a week at least which is all I can handle!) living in Sweden. I live and suffer with fibromyalgia (chronic pain, but also comes with fun things like fatigue, unable to keep normal temperatures, often feeling hot and cold on the same time, IBS, sleepproblems, migraine, sensitivity to infections, bad balance and a lot more fun things),aspergers syndrome,ADD,chronic depression,GAD,panicattacks,hallucinations,obsessive compulsions
and paranoia to mention a few things. As you might have figured out I spend a lot of time in hospitals and psychiatrics as well as habilitation (and home). I can't do a lot of things healthy persons can do. On bad paindays I can't even get out of bed because of the pain and fatigue, and even when I can I have to deal with lots of chronic pain and fatigue as well as my other problems. I always have to rely on other people taking care of me when I've got bad days, which is very stressful seeing as I only have my mate to do that (which for sure is eating our relationship up so who knows, I might end up all alone and what then?) I am far from independent, I take someone with me pretty much wherever I go, I ride disability cab instead of public transportation, can only handle to study two days a week from 9-13, I have lots of help from psychiatrics, doctors and homeaid. This all is due to my healthissues. While Sweden has "free healthcare" a lot of things will still cost you, which isn't easy when you're on a student's income. It's not unusual for me to have several meetings a week with doctors, psychiatrists and the habilitation staff, as well as having my homeaid come here 1-3 times a week and calling me every day. A lot of these things cost, as well as all the medicines I have to take which is steadily increasing. I just recently had to up my antidepressants again as well as had to buy a walking cane.
