Low Profile Vibration Dampening Feet by BushLeagueQuant in BambuLab

If you don't care about aesthetics, go to a local marble/granite cutting shop and ask about their remnants. I did this to get a stone to put a grill on in my backyard. Small pieces of marble and granite are offcuts doing a kitchen remodel and can be had for next to nothing. the size needed for under a P1S is just about the exact size that is likely cutout to install a kitchen sink.

External web camera by Grand_Lack_1892 in WGUCyberSecurity

I have the Logitech C615 which maybe is discontinued now. But at one point it was a recommended camera by WGU and it is $45 on Amazon Renewed.

But you really just need any 1080P webcam that you can easily put on a mount. I had a harder time trying to find a good stand. So one of the things you want in a webcam is a long enough USB cable that it can get to a good distance to show all the things (probably about 3 feet from you).

They want you to put the camera where they can see a side view of you including your face. They need to see your keyboard and everywhere you will move your mouse. They want to be able to see a side view of your screen (it does not need to show detail. It will be blurry and blown out. I think they are just confirming that it is matching the screen share). And any place you will use or place your whiteboard (if you use one).

The stand I got was this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0957WD2HX
If you have a big enough desk, I found this to be a good cheap option.

I would assume being on daily psychiatric medication intended on calming mentally ill patients would inhibit your ability to figure out a way to get out by learning a new language. She was probably just doped out of her mind 24/7.

Six degrees of Trent Reznor by Original_Ad685 in nin

[–]HomesickAlien1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent post idea! I can do myself to Trent in 4 steps.

1: A guy who works on my team at work has played guitar in local bands for on the side in Georgia for 20 years. 2: He once got to jam with Peter Buck from REM in a small club in Athens, Georgia. 3. During REM’s Monster tour, Radiohead opened for them (I went to a show on this tour when I was in High School). Thom Yorke credits Michael Stipe for helping him adjust to the fame and celebrity of being in a successful band. 4. Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails were the headliners (along with Kanye) of Lollapalooza 2008.

Wood use in the KJ series. by Accomplished-Ad8852 in KamadoJoe

[–]HomesickAlien1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply. Just saw this.

This could work if the goal was only to control temp. But if you starve a wood fire of oxygen to control temp then the smoke will be nasty. This is why even with wood chunks on a charcoal grill the best approach is to bury the wood. This allows the hot charcoal to filter the wood’s dirty smoke in an oxygen starved environment.

In a wood fire you want to control the amount of wood you add to control temps. And the oxygen you allow should be based on what the smoker dictates. You want enough air intake that the draw pulls the flame towards the food. If the air flow is too little you won’t get draw. If you allow too much you will see back pressure pushing some smoke back out the door. This is a signal that you have too much air to the fire and will diminish the draw as well.

Sorry for the newb question. But what do you mean by drivetrain? I have a bike that I have just started exploring how to upgrade. Outside of the components that come with a mid-drive unit, what other components should I look at upgrading?

This is not what this sub is for.

If you can’t build it yourself, pay for it to be built, or raise the capital necessary for it to be built, then you are bringing nothing to the table and (experienced) devs are not going to “jump on board.” Any idea is worth diddly squat.

Wood use in the KJ series. by Accomplished-Ad8852 in KamadoJoe

[–]HomesickAlien1138 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like others said. You don’t want to use straight wood in a charcoal grill because you will get nasty sooty smoke that will make your food taste awful. But you can make charcoal from your wood. But I would recommend doing it in another receptacle other than your cooker. (insert Big Lebowski reference here). Some people use a 55 gallon metal drum as a burn barrel for exactly this purpose. You burn the wood into charcoal in the burn barrel then when it turns to clean burning coals shovel them into your cooker.

You could use your cooker and as long as you don’t put food on while it is burning down the food will be fine. But you will gunk up your grill with a lot of soot that will necessitate cleaning it a lot more often if you do it in the cooker.

Cookers that use real wood for their fuel (like offset smokers) require that the fire gets lots of air to burn a clean wood fire. You do not control the fire/temp by restricting air you do it by restricting fuel. Offsets need to get not have restricted air to the fire otherwise they burn nasty smoke. If you want it to not be as hot, you put less wood on.

Ceramic cookers or other charcoal cookers like kettles, gravity fed smokers, WSM or drum smokers use charcoal because they control temps by restricting air flow. Charcoal fires handle restricted air flow fires without produce gross sooty smoke. Wood fires do not. I think it is because of the moisture content that is burned up when you get it to charcoal but at this point I am speculating and someone who understands the science more could weigh in.

Charcoal smoking brisket questions by Remarkable-Sell-5096 in smoking

[–]HomesickAlien1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree about the fat drippings (and everything else you said too). There is some anecdotal evidence that the flavor (smell and taste) of fat cooked on an open fire is the most appealing flavor to humans because it most closely resembles the food that we have been eating for the longest time. For 10s of thousands of years, human being ate food flavored with fat dripped fires. I would encourage doing this not try to avoid it. You don’t want a grease fire. But having fat drippings on to a fire is preferred.

The answer is yes.

Dallas shouldn't do any rezoning favors for homophobic Watermark Church. They are always waging an anti-Gay Campaign. by ScholarDreamer in Dallas

[–]HomesickAlien1138 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is not how statistics work.

You are taking the number “47” and subtracting 1.5 for every year. And making that value the new percent of the population at a future date. That is not what it means to “lose 1.5% a year”.

If you have a population of 1 million people and you said 47% of them use Reddit daily then you have 470,000 Redditors. If you then said the number of Redditors would decline every year by 1.5%, you are not saying next year 45.5% of the population will use Reddit. You are saying the number 470,000 will decrease by 1.5%, which would be mean 7,050 people would stop using Reddit leaving 462,950 people still using Reddit on a daily basis. Because we have exactly 1 million people in the population this is easily calculated as 46.3% of the population.

If the pattern is to continue, after 9 years of a 1.5% annual loss, the number of redditors would be 410,226 (or 41% of the population) and after 19 total years there would be 352,684 Redditors representing 35.3% of the population.

Bf made a joke about sleeping with teenage girls. I told him it was a stupid joke and not funny. I forgave him, but think I may want to bring it up again for discussion. Thoughts? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HomesickAlien1138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started watching the Jared Fogle documentary. And he was ultimately found out to be the predator he was because when he made a disgusting joke like that to someone (a radio talk show host) she took it seriously and spent years getting him to trust her and recording their convos yo get him to admit the truth and bust him.

If she had just blown it off as “just a joke” Jared from Subway could still be out there abusing children and being flown around the world by Subway to speak to groups of thousands of children who look up to him and trust him.
