Also, it's early, I'm uncaffeinated, and I just pictured her rolling and snorting on her back like our dogs do in grass. For short term, small-area problems, with flying and "migrant" problems, I use a yard fogger. So what does this mean? For the gazebo, or the patio, or the shop, during bug season, I do small-area treatments with a fogger to get the bugs that came in today and aren't dead yet. Does that make sense? They can walk over poisons or DE and not die for a little while. Or fly in obviously. So if we have a dinner party in the gazebo, it gets fogged before. The patio is used every morning so it gets fogged every 3-5 days. Again, it's generally considered safe once dry. Do not breathe it.

This is bug eradication 3.0 for me and my friends. Super effective. "Toxic" is always controversial, but it's considered safe to pets and humans once dry. I don't put it ON the food plants but around them. I do the trunks of the fruit trees and the borders of the veggie areas. I spray a standard wall-ground border around the house, door frames, and sometimes limited inside spaces where an issue has or could happen. For "leaky" houses I'd go all around all leak areas like windows. Our house is really sealed so I ignore window frames. https://www.domyown.com/talstar-professional-insecticide-p-97.html Very effective, very long-lived. I apply it at whatever the max mix ratio is plus a splash or two more. Still crazy cheap for the amount it takes. Previously we all used Bayer Suspend then Suspend Polyzone. I'm the lead researcher and then everyone tries it and tells me what they think. I used to use DE directly all over the food plants. This is not just people/pet safe but there are claims of health benefits to eating it. But the Talstar just being NEAR them kills everything. I stopped using DE. One thing about DE is that breathing it is all kinds of horrible. As in you may never get it back out. So I'm generally a fan but it can't be treated as benign either. Also it lives only until the next rain, lawn watering, or major wind. And using too much is counter-effective, they will see it and walk around it. Funny timing, my DE blower is having problems and also the storage for it is being replaced; I think I will toss it all and stop using it. A question for you guys; we suddenly have silverfish coming up the drains. Ideas?

Fuck those fuckers. This has gone too far, thanks to anarchy, for them to stop it. I'm glad to be a part of it.

Goddammit, slow down satan. "You need to buy more tools and more AR parts." Jesus man, what brand of vodka do you offer people leaving AA meetings?

Fuck you, I had put this absolute flaming desire out of my mind. Also I don't think I've shot a piston AR.

“I’m tired of walking to the closet to get glasses cleaners, they should just be dispensed from a place under my desk…” While I'm there, I want a quick in/out holder at my desk for the smart glasses, which I often switch out for computer glasses...

"That dish brush holder you made a long time ago is starting to look ratty." "Oh, and can you make it a tiny bit smaller." "And prettier, and shinier..."

I think the first thing we can agree on is that batteries are run on FM, and are a complete mystery. I've seen so many variables. At the end of the day, or six months, you may as well have used dice and an eye of newt to define the process.

My opinion is that I would not leave it on a charger at all, and top it off a couple times. I base that purely on having experienced problems that I *think* are related to leaving them on all the time. I cannot say I know this to be a fact. I do know for a fact that if you charged it overnight here and there, say monthly, nothing will go wrong. So that's what I do with things like the generator.

I went down a slight rabbit hole in their history, that style of air hole seems to be centered around the late 20s to late 30s, but possibly 40s.

Half a year of winter. Fuck.

You are getting sleepy.....very sleepy....now cluck like a chicken.

Printing threaded funnels to fit any bottle is so damn useful. Also, perfect-fit funnels for your vac sealer bags.

I said that just an hour ago when I found this, and wondered, "What thread should I post this in?" So thanks.

For how long? Just winter so 2-3 months? If I pulled the battery, I would not charge it at all, other than a top off right at the beginning. And my float chargers are 0.3 amp I think, maybe less.

The intention is for the caps to have an o-ring, and come out if the freezing expands the gel. Only a crazy person would glue them in. But a glued cap could go on the bottom. Also that last one with the thin inner wall cracked on the inside. The thin wall doesn't do expansion well. Now I have a quandary; PETG would expand. But it has over double the thermal coefficient of PLA, so would cause more heat to travel.

Well, I learned it yesterday. This is useful, would have saved me some time and money when I added several things, particularly the wood shop. I knew this was technically ok, but didn't know it was LEGAL and fully supported. Plus it's legal to use it as both 120v and 240v at the same time. As long as the neutral can carry the load of one circuit, you can run both to max (and if you do, the neutral sees 0 current of course). You use dual breakers, so you stay on different phase legs, and so the entire circuit is de-energized at once.

Right, is it "healthier" to possibly have a better nutritional profile and no added chemicals, but you occasionally get sick and die, or to always have less nutrition and more chemicals but less deaths?

NJ to AZ was $700 last time I did it.

"It's safe because it's natural." Me: Arsenic is natural, and in most cases, it's even organic! Definitely non-GMO. Totally safe. English is my third language. Spanish and sarcasm are my first. A fuckload of them. Maybe, studies are all over the place. Everything you put into your body, or nearly so, is a gamble. The question is what are the odds? Most people will tolerate MB well, but some won't. Also, as discussed above, are you taking things that interact with it, sometimes with deadly consequences? In my AI browser: Find the answer to these questions about Methylene Blue: What are the dangers of MB? Does it actually help with mental cognizance? Is there a dosage level that's safe and effective or is it a gamble no matter what? Methylene Blue can be dangerous, has some evidence for cognitive benefit, but dosing is risky and individual. Here’s the straight dope from the forum and medical sources: Dangers of Methylene Blue (MB) MB can cause serious drug interactions, especially with antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs), migraine meds (like rizatriptan), and decongestants (pseudoephedrine). These combos can lead to serotonin syndrome, dangerously high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, or even death. ⁠ People with G6PD deficiency risk hemolytic anemia (breakdown of red blood cells). ⁠ Overdosing (above 2 mg/kg, especially over 7 mg/kg) increases risk of side effects: confusion, dizziness, headaches, limb pain, blue/green urine, and in severe cases, respiratory depression or coma. ⁠ Not recommended for pregnant women, and caution is needed with kidney or liver problems. ⁠ Does MB Help with Mental Cognizance? There’s some animal research showing MB can improve memory and learning in rats with brain blood flow issues, suggesting possible benefits for cognitive impairment and neuroprotection. ⁠ Human evidence is limited and mixed. Some users report feeling sharper, but this is anecdotal and not robustly proven in clinical trials. Forum users are skeptical, with some calling it “snake oil” and others noting placebo effects or lack of lasting benefit. Safe and Effective Dosage, or a Gamble? Medically, MB is used at 1–2 mg/kg IV for methemoglobinemia, under strict supervision. ⁠ For off-label or cognitive use, there’s no universally accepted safe dose. Even low doses can be risky if you’re on interacting meds or have certain health conditions. The forum consensus: “Everything you put into your body is a gamble. Most people tolerate MB well, but some won’t. It’s not a harmless supplement.” Bottom line: MB isn’t a magic brain pill. It’s a chemical with real risks, uncertain cognitive benefits, and a dosing window that’s narrow enough to make self-experimentation a roll of the dice.
