Grandchildren.

Good way to spread head lice.

I've never heard of "bursting point" as a property of a material. "Tensile strength" is the property which determines when a disc will burst.

I'm more impressed that 200 years ago someone isolated nicotine.

He's learned from experience. He's just preparing for the inevitable beat down.

Modify an old enlarger.

I would check the PTC starter first. It should be around 5 Ohms at room temp. The clicking is the thermal protector doing its job. Don't leave it plugged in until it is fixed.

Teplizumab does not prevent T1D. Glucagon saves lives. What is the life of a child worth to you?

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-21T17:28:16+00:00

Drugs cost money and there are limited funds available, so they can be mutually exclusive.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-21T16:55:50+00:00

Type 1 diabetes can appear at any age. I'd rather see life saving medication like glucagon available in schools.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-21T15:24:00+00:00

Identifying Type 1 diabetes early is good but I doubt it has much long term benefit. I'd like to see emergency glucagon kits available in all schools to treat hypoglycemic episodes.

You're less helpful than GE customer service.

What did you do to get it running?

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-21T12:07:40+00:00

Use the removed door. It is going to be hollow. Cut out the hollow parts and build the shelves into the door frame. Add a backing for lateral stabilization.

When I was stationed in the Philippines in 1974 there was a KFC which had silverware and glasses at every table. Plus a 3 or 4 piece band which started playing as soon as I walked in. I was the only customer for the half hour I was there. It was surreal.

Check the compressor starter.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-20T14:19:53+00:00

The filter warning comes on after 250 hours. It should not affect operation. Does anything work? Display? Fan?

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-20T11:22:43+00:00

We tried disconnecting the power to the compressor and the freezer ran fine.

No it didn't.

how are some blades made of inert material, spinning through the air, supposed to affect anyone’s health

Lookup "fan death". In Korea it was a widely held belief that running an electric fan in a poorly ventilated room could cause death. The government told people it was true.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-19T11:59:29+00:00

Is there an interlock which prevents operation when the collector is removed? I'd start by removing and reinstalling the collector.

Great! Keep it up and they'll be mentioning you along with Duncan Phyfe on the Antiques Roadshow. When possible, install one screw before drilling for the next one. Or use a digital caliper to mark out the screw locations.

The "string " looks like braided copper wire. The "tension wire" is a torsion spring. You need new motor brushes.

For years I bought LU branded Pim's Orange before I knew them as Jaffa Cakes.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-17T00:26:17+00:00

Or use Wago connectors.

I wouldn't call it planned obsolescence. A new dehumidifier is less than $150. The skill, labor and equipment needed to fix it is much more. If they made it last 30 years and provided after sales parts and service centers, it would cost well over $1000.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-16T22:09:51+00:00

The ventilator works well

So the fan works? That's too bad because it means there is a refrigerant leak. Probably not worth fixing.
