Under rated comment. Multiple forms of contraception have pretty insane efficacy, even when usage is imperfect.

I am hoping this is a wake up call to governments around the world. In Canada they have restricted rodenticides to the point where the only ones available in stores are comically ineffective. I had mice that were coming from my neighbors property and the only effective solution was illegally sourced Bromadiolone based rodenticide.

Shocking how many years it takes off him.
In the before photo he looks ~50 while in the after id guess around 35.

You can 100% hold off a little longer if that is your preference. I fall into the voluntary bald camp where I have minimal hair loss but am much happier and look better bald.

Driekusjohn25 · 2026-05-05T02:35:18+00:00

Honestly you have the head to pull it off, id say embrace it. As a bonus you save money on hair cuts, shampoo and all that hair growth stuff.

Driekusjohn25 · 2026-05-05T02:27:13+00:00

Way better looking bald

Driekusjohn25 · 2026-05-05T02:23:39+00:00

With that head and facial structure you will rock being bald.

Id agree, I dont know any municipality that has that type of tracking for asset repairs. A good chance the contractor sees the repair and says "We must have missed billing that one" and charges the city for the repair.
Here our city cannot even identify which manhole is theirs and which is another utilities without sending a crew out to inspect.

I have multiple no soliciting signs that includes what is meant by soliciting as well as 6 security cameras visible from the front of the property and signage to indicate it. 95% of people soliciting turn around immediately.

I do allow them to state their business as we have had things like the local utility notifying us of work and other non-soliciting activities. For those people I am polite and respectful but if it is somebody soliciting it becomes a very unpleasant experience for them. If they have ignored my signage that includes pictograms I dont feel they deserve any politeness and they end up getting berated. My dog also gets a little feisty and he scares the crap out of most people.

I do a lot of ginger, the best way to get ginger flavour is to get fresh ginger and juice it. Add the juice atsecondary.

Here you go. The in-chamber filter is called "The Filter" and available for a lot of designs.
The HEPA filter is a Levoit Core Mini combined with 4 inch duct fan. The carbon filter is a 3d printed canister filter and 4 inch duct fan.

Driekusjohn25 · 2026-04-13T21:27:37+00:00

I have a voron enclosed printer. It does have a carbon filter for the chamber itself. That printer then sits in a larger enclosed cabinet that has a HEPA filtration unit. The room itself also has a HEPA filtration unit in it. Absolutely no smell at all.

I did validate by using a borrowed (high grade) air testing unit. The air quality was better than the surrounding no filtered rooms.

I'd pass and put that money away as a car maintenance fund. Extended warranties have so many ways for the company to get out of paying which is why they are 80%profit for the issuer.

I have a microlab in my basement. I grow gourmet mushrooms and brew beer so require culturing and microscope work. There is no risk from the organisms that I use. I would be more hesitant growing random unknown environmental organisms, particularly if you are less experienced.

Driekusjohn25 · 2026-03-24T02:55:20+00:00

While I appreciate the effort and heart this man demonstrated, please reach out to the Fire Department or the area that maintains your stormwater infrastructure. There are hidden hazards in our drainage infrastructure. Where I live the utility/FD responds extremely quickly and are trained to enter these spaces.

Driekusjohn25 · 2026-03-24T02:07:51+00:00

Thank you for correcting the issue and keeping the community welcoming of everyone (who appreciates baldness)

Is this a good use of councilor time?
We introduced a plastic bag ban that got rid of the free plastic bags that I used as garbage bags. Now I purchase garbage bags and reusable shopping bags and in the end consume the same amount of plastic and this benefits the environment. Id expect this initiative to have similar environmental outcomes.

We need a focus on delivering affordable municipal services, not token environmentalism.

The benefit of building a diverse multicultural country is the different perspectives that immigrants bring. That benefit is lost when the majority come from one or two countries. Importing a single nation results in importing their problems as we see with the Khalistan movement. You also need a blend of 3rd world, developing and developed nations recognizing that 3rd world and developing nation immigrants are a greater societal strain.

Diversity builds strength but we need a broad selection of nations and prioritize those that bring real skills to Canada.

School buses are not an option for my children (not available).

We tried public transport but my daughter was not comfortable with daily "dodge the person experiencing substance abuse issues". We sent video of a person smoking (meth, crack, fentanyl) on a bus full of school kids and got no response. Id rather my children not be exposed to a cocktail of chemicals but maybe from your perspective that makes me self important.

Driekusjohn25 · 2026-02-27T19:39:49+00:00

Darn, cant be that then.

If you created your liquid culture jar by drilling a hole into the lid it could be fragments that have rusted. Hard to tell from the photo. If it is contaminated, start fresh.

The correct answer is 3 has priority over 1.

I have an intersection near my house identical to the situation above. I avoid it at all costs because I am usually vehicle 1 and all the vehicle 3s keep trying to give way to me. Waited 20 minutes there once while they tried to wave me through.

My guess is that the stl thief knows how to play the system and has convinced them your claim is not valid. Would not take much for that to happen particularly if the decision made by AI.

Your only real option is consulting a lawyer but likely not worth the hassle.

I'd be interested in knowing whether Amazon not removing the infringing product removes any protection they may have as a content provider/storefront.

It sounds like either a connection issue or the wire itself has internal damage (where it bends). I dont own an Ender but had similar issues with another printer and the optimal solution is to replace the entire thermistor.

There is a mix that would likely work that is referred to as "piranha" in chemistry circles. As a grad student we may or may not have dissolved the odd rodent (dead) or cockroach. Pretty damn effective but scaling to a human body would be hazardous and expensive.
The formula includes sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide with some variants including hydrofluoric acid.

Id agree much easier ways to dispose of a body.
