I need a funnel for car fluids maybe three times a year in a busy year, they would likely be disposable for me. Basic cheap PLA is under $20/kilo, it can hit $15. My slicer tells me that the large funnel uses 132g so $2.50-ish. I personally don't see a use for the large. The "thicc" version scaled to 50%, which is what seems most useful to me, uses 31g, so about 70 cents. That model at 75% uses 80g. Both models start at 250mm long and 135mm at their widest point. "Thicc" has double-thick walls so that when you scale it down, you don't end up with unprintably thin walls with a generic (cheap) printer. PLA should be great against most automotive fluids, definitely not acetone, and possibly not brake cleaner.

Silicone is like herpes.

You can use a soldering iron to melt the back of it and "weld" it together. Some soldering kits also include specific paddle bits to do this. And this is very effective if you just want to glue it. @superhawk996 used it on his Talon, maybe he can comment on how it has held up. https://www.loctiteproducts.com/en/products/fix/super-glue/loctite_plasticsbondingsystem.html

Honestly I just can't advise you on this realistically. Obviously GIMP is going to run, is it going to be great? No idea. I don't use it, and I don't know anything more than "it's a photo editor." I haven't edited photos on a Windows machine in 20 years. These are cheap basic machines with very little storage, also.

I don't really know an exact number, it's a Celeron, so probably more comparable to an i3 or i5. I have one running next to me and it feels fine for what you said you wanted to do, I'm sure I wouldn't want to be doing video editing on it or 3D gaming. I deployed a ton of them for a call center to do their work on and phone calls over a headset.

I have two of these in sealed boxes, brand new. How about $100 plus actual shipping cost? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-14-0-laptop-intel-celeron-n4020-4gb-memory-64gb-emmc-star-black-star-black/6469401.p?skuId=6469401

How is this not already a product? In fact, it should be the default design for a funnel. Print them any size you want, too! https://thangs.com/designer/Chrismaster/3d-model/Set Down Oil Funnel-580822?manualModelView=true

Tomek smoked a motor due to excess sealant??? It's so hard to tell which of two bullshitters is bullshitting more. I can understand one of those, but yeah, the sealant. Where did you think it was gonna go? The other day someone you know who is usually pretty good mechanically showed up with a blob of grease on his swingarm due to using so much on the pedals. What you should use is a tiny dab of anti-sieze.

Huh, looks like I may be proven right after all. Also the closest thing I have to any degree is probably business admin. https://archive.ph/Epj7G A New Computer Proof ‘Blows Up’ Centuries-Old Fluid Equations For more than 250 years, mathematicians have wondered if the Euler equations might sometimes fail to describe a fluid’s flow. Now there’s a breakthrough. Perhaps the oldest and most prominent of these equations, formulated by Leonhard Euler more than 250 years ago, describe the flow of an ideal, incompressible fluid: a fluid with no viscosity, or internal friction, and that cannot be forced into a smaller volume. “Almost all nonlinear fluid equations are kind of derived from the Euler equations,” said Tarek Elgindi, a mathematician at Duke University. “They’re the first ones, you could say.” In a preprint posted online in October, a pair of mathematicians has shown that a particular version of the Euler equations does indeed sometimes fail. The proof marks a major breakthrough—and while it doesn’t completely solve the problem for the more general version of the equations, it offers hope that such a solution is finally within reach. “It’s an amazing result,” said Tristan Buckmaster, a mathematician at the University of Maryland who was not involved in the work. “There are no results of its kind in the literature.”

No idea, it's more amusing to only see the response posts, and I've only seen/addressed the posts about the product itself. It is honestly sad that it's impossible to actually explore something like this.

He who must never be questioned. It was a potentially interesting thread derailed once again by an inability to discuss anything rationally.

It's great when the fish jump in the boat. Nice work.

I once answered that since the book said that all laws of physics were suspended, therefore anything is possible, and I made up something insane. I got a pass, as I was technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Remember that PPE is not necessary when using acetone in an enclosed space. The label only said not to "intentionally" concentrate it. I know it's marketing, but every time I run into something that's over-stated I go the other direction. Like when Startron printed the claim that it reduces the RPM for a given prop speed. One slice of bullshit ruins the whole pepperoni pizza.

Is it something like "professional?" I also think their pitch sounds like, "But wait, there's more!"

"When you absolutely do not want two things to ever come apart short of the destruction of the entire universe."

I thought of this yesterday, have you tried the Xylitol-based decongestants? Xlear is one brand. Note that they have one version with Oxymetazoline, green label, but the white label is just xylitol, grapefruit seed, and water. It was recommended by a client who is a doctor (well dentist), and he says he thoroughly researched that it has no long term side effects. I find it barely takes the edge off light congestion, but doesn't do much when I'm totally stuffed. Worth a try.

The life long quest for many of...you.

Mixed frozen berry pack from Sam's, mint, oat milk, inulin, dash of cayenne. The fruit-loving dog goes nuts when he hears the blender since he knows he's going to get a bit of it in his bowl.

Smoothie. THAT is what I need this morning. Hungry early for some reason. Also, I somehow forget about food options like that. They leave my brain. I can create a new idea and habit easily, and keep it up, then a few weeks later it disappears when I'm not thinking about it.

Holy shit dude, that was poetry. Mushroom breakfast seems to do you good.

I don't know the answer to your original question. But I can add that if you end up needing supports for aging people in the shower, these are absolutely phenomenal. I had very low exceptions of suction pads, but they were far better than I could ever imagine. They worked great for my mom, and were handed off for a friend's parents after she could no longer travel to visit here. Still going perfectly at almost ten years old. https://www.lowes.com/pd/MHI-Safe-er-grip-8-5-in-White-Suction-Cup-Grab-Bar/3148407

We have one dog that will eat any fruit or vegetable except raw squashes, and one that won't eat any raw fruit vegetable at all. He may eat veggies cooked if they have some flavor additive on them. And a tomato with dressing is a maybe. But no other fruit.

McD and Jack will also, not sure on the others.

These are absolutely fantastic. Best cable clip ever. They are great for both static applications, and at my desk as a cable "dispenser" for charging and data transfers. I have two USB-C, one micro, one mini always at the ready. I've used them around the house and in the car to keep cables invisible and out of the way. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YFFTSNM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have an application where I need them to be smaller, for about a 3.5mm cable. These are 7mm and while the cable has some friction going in and out, not much. And it's a moving application so I want it to be held strongly. Any idea what this style of clip would be called? I can't find any others. I need the surface area to be narrow and long, as they are going vertically on a curved surface.
