What is "very low?" I have an R-10 sheet in my home office window right now because I was getting cooked by afternoon sun in summer. It has reflective coatings on both sides the actual result is higher than just the r-value due to reflectivity of IR. Same with the ultra thin, but effective panels on my garage doors. The magic is in layers of reflective material and pockets of air. Anyway, R-10 is mediocre but I don't consider it very low. It's probably expensive, dunno, it was given to me. Here's an example of a very good solution: https://buildwithhalo.com/halo-interra/

Rolled fiberglass insulation doesn't just spray particles, and is perfectly fine for this. Styrofoam sheets would obvious be another option.

I put Za'atar, olive oil, and a tiny bit of pink salt on tuna steaks. Let it marinate in a vacuum bag for ten hours or so. Seared hot, and served on a greek style salad with vegan feta. Fucking great. The oil carried the spice flavor into the meat and made it totally non-stick on the grill.

Guess what's on the docket tonight before neighborhood dinner? A printed spring on the bottom seems actually effective. Nylon-carbon fiber would have "forever" wear. I see another project. I can't print TPU on this printer. Until I upgrade the extruder. And guess what... Also check out the days/dates on this tracking info. It makes RFK math look logical. Now with 98.3% more insanity! I hope they give me a discount for this, like 700%. Fuck, now I have a brain worm.

Those wheels are way too good. And smart. I wish I had video. I had the XR strategically positioned to block the chair from leaving the driveway. I got up, and out of the corner of my eye watch it go around the XR and zip off to the street. Fucker.

Yeah, I find myself with that dilemma, even though I have vastly fewer points. The transfer value is just so BAD. Back when I travelled a lot and had stupid points, I leveraged Amex mostly which had a 1:1 with occasion 10% boost on Home Depot. So things like a house full of blinds where all travel points with no penalty. Your Wyndham points seem to be able to flex to like 3x? Yeah, it's a happy place for both of us. Worth some upgrades. Do you prefer the backrest and side things? I strongly prefer/need the flat/round because I get up and come back a million times. Maybe because I'm not organized enough to get everything ready and nearby at once.

Marty is a very heavy compressor user, while we do bikes in his garage. His compressor makes Janel jump out of her chair every time, it's horrible. So I bet he's in!

This thing? A filter for the swamp cooler, really cuts down on hard water deposits. And Flexzilla hoses, 100% my go-to and recommendation for everything now. And my air hose only gets used for tires and blowgun any more. Also just acquired an ultra-quiet Callifornia Air compressor to replace my loud as fuck compressor. $0, right place, right time.

So there I was, arranging groceries into the case, when some guy walking by comments, "Probably sucks not owning a car!" ...? I tell him that I have two cars, but why would I want to be stuck in a car on a day like this? (Great weather we've been having lately, perfect spring.) "Doesn't seem worth it." I'm still arranging groceries to make them fit. But...wtf? I say nothing. "I'd love to have a bike, but my wife won't let me." Sigh. I'm mostly ignoring the fucker now. "But you know how it is." Ok, I've had enough. Time to end this. "No, clearly I don't know, I'm here on a motorcycle, and I also still have my balls."

First grocery run completed successfully. It was a heavy one too, with beer and other heavy items. I ended up printing a shitload of spacers to try, I didn't realize that the seat pan is not symmetrical. I had to put a few mm more on one side than the other. I spent a lot of time fucking around with the various sizes and a level. I tilted is slightly forward so that the removal button would have good clearance from the grab bar.

Well, at least you get to be a pirate, and be sure to come up with a great story for people when they ask about it.

TL;DR, most inflammation and heart risk markers are way down, as much as 89% (yes, eighty-nine). Also my BP was 108/70 yesterday at the doctor, from a peak of 128/87. As I've said before, I replaced all cooking salt with potassium instead of sodium. The Big Wins — Real Progress Over Time Inflammation (hsCRP) — dramatic improvement: 2016: 9.8 · 2019: 4.7 · 2021: 4.9 · 2023: 7.4 · 2025: 1.1 You went from chronically in the high cardiovascular risk zone (>3.1) for years to average risk. Whatever you've been doing — lifestyle, diet, stress management — is working. Triglycerides — steady decline: 2016: 163 (high) → 2019: 111 → 2021: 131 → 2023: 90 → 2025: 67 Nearly cut in half over 9 years. Outstanding. Fasting Glucose — great trend: 2016: 98 → 2019: 106 (high) → 2021: 92 → 2023: 87 → 2025: 78 Plus your HbA1c is a solid 4.9% — metabolic health looks strong. HDL — improved: 2016: 40 → 2019: 53 → 2021/2023: 41 → 2025: 51 It bounced around but is heading in the right direction.

I'm retarded. I searched my emails for a receipt for it...Israeli was my original buy. But an AI says this, do you agree? I think I'll buy both. How they’re used In practice they’re interchangeable, but each leans toward slightly different uses. Lebanese: great when you want bright, punchy flavor on manakish, fattoush, or as a dip with olive oil and bread. Israeli: works well as an all‑purpose table seasoning on eggs, roasted veg, chicken, and yogurt where you don’t want the sumac to dominate.
