Self medication and mental illness go together like peanut butter and jelly.

The wife and I like what is basically steak sushi. We don't eat steak all the time, but when we do, it's minimum sear. Cold center.

We are aware that we run an elevated risk for e. Coli.

We're handling chicken with gloves until we get a better handle on it.

I really hope the bad old days don't come back, it's a real pain in the ass.

This looks like multiples that are easy to move or trade. Theft for a small gain. Methheads and really poor/desperate people do this kind of shit where I'm from. Like a crackhead with a box of candy bars.

Definitely could also be mental illness. Either way, in a perfect world, she'd talk to a social worker instead of another cop shortly after she was arrested.

Thanks! That's about how I understand it, as well.

I get from the study that if your beef is properly aged, it should be pretty much impossible.

I had raw milk a few times, as a kid. Dad ended up with a Holstein through a funny trade, had a small Charolais herd. Didn't care for it, I could taste the weeds. Nothing wrong with some homogenization and pasteurization.

Ain't nobody explaining that shit.

Howdy, Podunk. Rednecks have to watch out on Lemmy.

There is some manipulation happening, my bullshit sensor has pinged more than once. There are also some folks that might be aliens or tankies or some sort of venomous communist/vegan you definitely wouldn't want to share a free love commune with.

How likely is it that blue rare steak would transmit H5N1, do you reckon? USDA study.

Why is it strange? It's poverty driven shoplifting at face value. It's not that hard to move that stuff in public housing or a trailer park. Probably not even a lot of organization to it.

Possibly acute or untreated mental illness.

Poor people shit. I've been pretty poor.

Damn, mayo and shampoo aren't really a great luxury. Wonder if she's her own fence? That's poor people shit. Don't know much about New Zealand social problems.

Nifty. Just deleted mine.

My guess is that bacteria down in the crust near thermal vents would live the longest. Thousnands of years if they are able to follow the heat down.

Figure bunkered people might make it a few months depending on their power source and ability to withstand dropping pressure. Not sure how long it would take for the atmosphere to freeze. Government bunker that is vacuum proof with a reactor might make it a decade.

Just point me to the Natalie Portman and hot grits.

I'm down for whipping church sanctioned conmen and maybe even cursing some figs.

 

My son is about ready for his first printer. His school is running Cetus MK3 printers, he has a class using them, and his teacher has recommended this printer. He also has an educational seat of Fusion 360.

I'm proficient with Mastercam and hand written/modified G-code. I can help him with CAD no problem. Alignment, assembly, adjustment, and backlash are second nature for me. Have a little better than layman's understanding of printers. (Lusted over the Markforged printer that could do continuous carbon fiber.)

Eventually, will be building my own shop and hope my son might work with me. Hope to include printing, especially in metal.

I've seen some of the flap about Bambu and them closing up the software tool chain. I would like to avoid that sort of thing, for now, openness is better.

Top of my budget is around $500, with $200 probably being better.

Usable prints for tooling/spacers/repairs would be a bonus as would being able to print UV resistant plastic.

My goal for him is to get gud at modelling and get a feel for computer controlled movement. Another goal, harder to describe, is him finding the joy in mechanical tinkering and producing an idea made physical.

Thank you much! What do?

 

Any of y'all got a tracker that is following which portions of Project 2025 have actually been enacted? Something like the chump lawsuit tracking? Not finding anything with a search.

 

Does anyone know about Syrian Latakia tobacco?

It's a major component in English and Balkan style pipe tobacco. It has been replaced by the inferior Cyprian Latakia tobacco.

 

I have added a wifi repeater to the outside of my home so that my wife can watch her critter cams. It is a POE device that runs all the way back to my router.

Would like to install this surge protector but I'm getting conflicting information on grounding it. My installation is to the side of my house, not a metal pole.

Lowest effort options first, I can:

A. Place the protector inside near where the CAT5 enters the basement. Ground to a junction box that I installed that is grounded to the house panel and rod.

B. Ground internally to a water pipe or externally to the outdoor spigot.

C. Drive a ground rod where the cable exits the house and ground to it.

D. Repeat C and also bond to to the pre-existing home ground rod. (Least preferable option, rods would be on opposite corners of house.)

 

They hate each other so much.

 

Just looking up some DIY medical procedures and then the unwanted AI goes off the rails.

 
 

Found this broken piece in the creek bank. Southwest Pennsylvania. Farmhouse was built in 1922. Coalmining country.

Would have been about 18" in diameter. There is a rough coating in the glaze on the inside and outside of the bowl section. Abrasive enough that I figure it served a mechanical purpose. There are three grooves on the rim that aren't symmetrical to each other.

There might be a makers mark in the center of the glaze inside but I can't make it out. There is also a light blue/green stain on the bottom that might be a mark.

Any ideas?

 

Celeb_pics appears to be some bot posting from whoischic.com. Cluttters up /all.

 

The electric PTO clutch on my 1969 mini tractor is dead and discontinued.

Original winding is aluminum 18 gauge. Manufacturer specs were 2.88ohms, 237 turns. The manufacturer specs didn't quite physically match what I found when I took apart the old clutch. If I understand this correctly, the 2.88ohms is the most important part and will pull 4.17 amps.

I just attempted a coil with 18 gauge copper magnet wire. I made it to the max dimensions I can get in the housing with a scramble wind. I'm getting 1.2 ohms, which would pull 10 amps or so. Not good.

Was able to get 187 feet given the resistance.

If I go with 20 gauge copper, assuming I can get 235 feet (1.26 * 187) and I should get 2.319 ohms. Probably get a little more than 235 feet and get the resistance up a little more.

What does this do to the strength of the magnetic field?

Would I be better off putting a power resistor in series with my 18 gauge coil?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

 

Another before:

It's green Vermont slate, figured out that it was originally painted black and marbled. Victorian thing, faux marble mantels. Fireplace is also Victorian faux, red brick, would have had logs and a red light. I'll be putting in a gas insert at some point.

Started at 220grit, and worked up to 1000. Finished with a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits:

Didn't realize slate could be this pretty and figured:

So, I found this stone mantel behind the garage of the 100 year old house we just bought. It was mostly buried in the dirt. Fits our mantel perfect. Some sort of green stone. Was painted black at some point. I'm trying to strip the paint and want to refinish the stone. Area is southeast of Pittsburgh. Father of the man who built the house was an Italian stonemason that immigrated.

Don't think it's slate, has a tight grain and rings when you knock on it.

What kind of stone is this?
