Yup. the best part about using the PET from left over PET containers is that it's already food safe. you could, if you really wanted to, buy some sheets of amazon, but why bother.

also, for the large cup things... there are other things where this trick is useful... like... making pudding cups... :P Most berry containers will have enough of a flat spot you can cut out for a decent sized cup. (especially if you shop at costco or whatever wholesale club, lol.)

it's funny.

"jesus" (yeshua?) was a fairly common name. so was "joseph". It'd be like a millenial named Michael naming their kid Brayden.

There was probably a dozen of them in that part of the world. There might have been a dozen of them in nazareth, even.

And, to be perfectly honest, faith healing/mystic scams were super common. usually they got knifed in the street or on the road, but the romans were getting pretty tired of all the dead bodies left lying around. (It was untidy. romans were a tidy people. /s. they just wanted to be the ones with the authority.)

it's really not just christians in america. Christians were removed from the basics of the faith pretty quickly. It's why the second coming got slapped in there- all those unfullfilled messianic prophecies. Don't worry, he'll do the war-thing when he gets back. he just ran off for some milk.

I knew one lady who was having a psychotic break who looked at me and was like "Can I use this {pointing at the desk phone} The voices in my head say I'm having a panic attack."

So, like. THOSE voices are okay. (she was having some sorta something and needed help, so it's like "uh. sure. This is our address and, uh, let them know a security guard will guide them in." (I was said security guard.)

She got her help. Hope she's okay.

I mean, I didn't see your link to the video lower down, so, it was one of those, "AHAH!" and then... I finished reading and was like... "Ooops". I can be like that some times, lol

still, it really is a fun gag, and not particularly hard to pull off. For making dividers, I'd suggest getting some type of PET sheeting- unless you're rocking a giant cup, you can use the plastic containers with berries and fruits from the store. It's reasonably durable, but like, also dirt cheap, so.

reminds me of hot and cold coffee (EDIT, hah. I didn't read far enough.)

it's a fun gag to pull when you have guests over.

I feel like it’s weird to talk about kids learning hygiene or bathing or grooming at work is weird.

But super important to actually teach your kid- and id put this in that category.

Calling teslas “Swasticars” and CT’s “”Wankpanzers” was supposed to be a joke.

Are they really scientists? Or are they anti-science quacks who can’t even look at a chart and recognize the numbers are changing?

 
 

Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.

 

Snow on Thursday.

Mamma loafing around with the minions. (~~one is behind her, to the front, the other is behind and to her tail.~~)(edit: those are snacks,)

 

Gotta ask, what kinda candy was she making? Soft crack. Hard crack. Pot….

Even has the donuts on there for, you know, dealing with the munchies.

so drop 'em if you got 'em

 

Double, double Toil and Trouble; Fire burn and Cauldron boil.
and the finished soup:

 

Okay, so I was making chicken soup from stock I had made using a (lightly,) browned carcus and neck. just before dumping the the dumplings into it, the stock's color was a nice light brown. I added about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, turned my back for 30 seconds after a stir and it turned it an almost milky-off white. Eventually it deepened to this:

It's delicious, and tastes as expected, I'm just curious as to what happened in the broth's chemistry?

Seasoned with salt (duh), a sprig of thyme, some ginger and garlic, (just a hint of ginger,) black pepper, lemon zest (which was added with the torn chicken,) and white wine deglazed the pot from browning the dark meat.

The stock was from garlic, onion, celery, carrot and maybe ginger scraps cooked with the chicken carcass..

 

Due to reasons... I've "adopted" a CR10s that a friend had bought. It was used, and was already well on it's way to being a janky Printer of Theseus. My hope is to get it up and running and put through it's paces before the holidays so I can give it back as a gift.

With the linear rail upgrades, I picked up the hardware and it's on it's way; which got me looking at how to do the upgrade, which I have mostly figured out; the question I'm having is, most upgrades seem to place the rails on 2020 extrusions sitting on top of the base frame- same as how the original y axis 2040's were designed.

Which raises the question- why not lower it so the 2020 rails are even with the frame, with the mgn12 rail sitting on top? Like so:

The short answer I came to is this would necessitate replacing the brackets for the y stepper motor and it's idler; but it should be possible. the easiest solution would be something like:

which raises the question: are printed parts rigid enough to hold against the tension on the belts? The motors can't handle too much tension anyhow, and the printer already has the screw-cap tensioners for x and y printed that seem to have been holding up well.

has anybody replaced the OG metal bracket on the back? does it stress and need replacing often, or is it fairly reliable (and above all, consistent,)

 

I mean, like incompetent. For the record those organs I just stole? literally on the desk in front of him. Time to hike on over and sell it. To the Trade Authority.... all 20 feet away...

(this was in the UC security in the Well, new atlantis)

 

Which do you use and why? Which one gets it cleaner. If it matters we have “real” winters here, meaning snow cruft and salt that absolutely must be removed.

Edit to clarify: I’m talking about a choice in automated car washes- not hand washing cars. Seems people are getting confused. Touchless is a few passes with a pressure washer. Soft touch adds spinning car-wash brush things.
