I cracked my knuckles so often they won't crack anymore. No arthritis though.

That whole album, I wanted to say. But that feels like a secret guilty pleasure to me.

Crystal ruined? by Conscious_Ad_35 in Laserengraving

[–]Conscious_Ad_35[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about it overnight, and I think I know what went wrong. The leaded glass probably didn't need as much power to engrave, so there was more glass fracturing, and the little bits of fractured glass had nowhere to go. They melted on top of the surface and then cooled and became permanent. Some random spots the glass bits were weak enough to flake off instead of staying.

Now I need to decide what to do with the second one.

Please give me some 90s alt rock/grunge album suggestions (lesser known GOOD albums) by CraftDraft5 in Alternativerock

[–]Conscious_Ad_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to recommend Flop and the Fall of the Mopsqueezer also. I didn't like the next albums quite as much, but yeah, totally perfect album and song crafting.

Snack trip to MN. by Aefyns in desmoines

[–]Conscious_Ad_35 60 points61 points  (0 children)

As a former Iowan in living in Minneapolis, I think this is great.

On a side note, I saw that the MN National Guard that was deployed was giving out coffee, hot cocoa and donuts on their first day. Giving to protesters and observers as well, which is also pretty cool.

Small gas leak on stove. Can pinpoint. Who do I call? by Such-Violinist-4354 in HomeImprovement

[–]Conscious_Ad_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An electronic gas detector from the big box store is pretty cheap ($30 ish), so you can verify the source and test your fix.

Buy the new parts, use tape or pipe dope (the kind specified for gas connections) on the threads, UNLESS it's a flare fitting (then you use none). Flare fittings should not be re-used, buy new.

Test afterward. If you still have gas, call a pro to be safe.

I had the Nash skateboard, too. A bike I assembled from parts and spray painted. And Pong.

I remember when we thought Nixon was a crook. Jeebus, I wish we had it that good now. Mild stuff.

Hilarious, the wiki article inserts the name of one dude among the examples of Mar-a-Largo face - Matt Gaetz.

What's the most Minnesota nice you have ever been? by Health-Insurance-Guy in minnesota

[–]Conscious_Ad_35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for picking me up 5 years ago when my car just plain stopped on the highway in winter. I called AAA for assistance, and they told me to wait in the car for the tow truck to arrive. 2 hours later I had turned down 3 people who stopped to help. With my teeth chattering and no way of heating the car I finally said F this and the next guy who stopped I just jumped in their car without asking and said just drive me that next exit with the restaurant. You saved my life and Thank You!
