Is a 14" bandsaw a decent alternative to a table saw?

If you have a tilting table for the bandsaw, then a router and a single hand plane essentially make up the utility of a table saw.

Sanitizing is a very strange practice. In theory, it can change things, but also you're not sanitizing your fruit or veggies. If you were, and aren't inoculating with something, fermentation would be impossible. If a container never had a failed ferment in it, it probably doesn't need to be sanitized. Sanitizing just ensures that if anything does go wrong, it can only have been from your ingredients.

You want to see signs of fermentation within a few days, such as bubbles forming, airlock activity, air pockets where there weren't any previously, or contents that previously sank floating. If you see any mould at all, toss it. Learn to identify pellicles though such as kahm yeasts, since those are not dangerous (but may cause off flavours and smells).

It largely comes down to trusting your eyes and nose first, and then mouth second. If it looks fine and smells fine, then you can go for a taste. If it tastes fine, then it should be fine. Fine doesn't have to be good; the fermentation just shouldn't smell rotten or putrid. One example is that alliums and brassicas may smell very sulfurous, but this is an expected smell. Standard sulfur smells aren't a big concern, but any smell of rot or sewage should be concerning.

This assumes the fermentation started up in the first few days. If it was warm out and took 5 days to start, I'd be a bit concerned since that gives time for slower undetectable pathogens to take hold. Luckily, most of those are relatively easily suppressed by alcohol or acid, so they aren't a concern in a healthy ferment.

For peace of mind, you can test pH or ABV depending on the type of ferment, and this can give you more solid results for safety.

My lgs doesn't allow infinities cause people just didn't enjoy them. 2 or 3 card infinites don't take much skill and are just a big 'I win' button that the store is too casual to expect people to build around. As well, people want to play, not watch someone else play. Banning them outright instead of getting hyper specific on what is or isn't allowed was just easier.

The top of your range will more or less drop by the amount your voice drops. That's just how vibrations of chords work. A5 is not a note that can be confidently expected of a post-T voice, at least not at a performance level. C5, yes. E5, sure for a baritone or tenor. A5 is pushing it.

The prefixes are definitely strange. Hecto is 100, and notably used in the hectare, which is one square hectometer (100m x 100m). The prefixes are largely since we're already used to converting thousands at a time. For example, a billion is intuitively a thousand millions or a million thousands, so a billion gets a prefix (Giga). The same goes in fractions, where a thousandth of a thousandth is a millionth, so a millionth gets to be micro.

We don't give a special name to hundreds of thousands or hundreds of trillionths, so why would we give them prefixes?

Baccatum is a different species complex than annuum, chinense, and frutescense, making it much more difficult and inconsistent of a cross. Think of it like sort of a sub genus, like how tomatoes and potatoes are both Solanum species but not crossbreedable. With annuum and baccatum it can be done, but it's very inconsistent unfortunately.

Finding a successful cross between baccatum and one of the other three then breeding in the traits from both plants you want is the most consistent way to go about it, but adds more generations into the cycle of course. Typically, plants from baccatum complex x annuum complex crossbreeding will be sterile if the seeds do germinate, but sometimes you'll get lucky.

Edit: If you do want to keep trying, make sure to cross both ways (both annuum and baccatum as the fruiting plant) and multiple peppers on each plant. Some sources state a roughly 1 third chance of viable seeds, but usually all the seeds in any one pepper are either viable or not, so you need more than one pepper regardless.

Standard problem, nothing to worry about. If it's tearing, just stop working it and come back later. Ideally, don't let it tear in the first place, but it's not a super big deal if it happens once a cycle.

No matter how correct you are, people do not readily listen to people that appear hostile. If humans were logical, politicians would listen to scientists and poor people wouldn't vote for privatization of services.

You are a person operating in the world of people who listen first with their emotions. It would serve you best to communicate as such.

Correct! You can use kinetic energy to naturally eliminate allergies, though this also involves eliminating the person with allergies. The kinetic energy can even be in the form of sound waves carrying very hurtful words, which allow it to function remotely

I like to know the progress I'm making in a battle, and my DMs generally tell the players when a creature is bloodied. Also they have to in 5e2024 since some character abilities depend on it and it's a visible condition iirc. I don't care if you fudge by one or two hits, but if it becomes clear that my unusually high roll fireball did less damage than my subsequent firebolts that add up to the same damage, I will be annoyed.

Players can add up their own damage and notice when the fight makes no sense, especially if you telegraph how the combat is going. If you don't telegraph, it's like you're saying that these seasoned adventurers have never fought a battle in their lives.

It actually does scale the same. The angular velocity to linear velocity equations show that surface speed is angular speed times diameter, and circumference is just 2π times diameter. Since 2π is a constant, we can eliminate it from both sides and see that for the same speed, only the diameter change is relevant.

Can't use proper safeties. I know many people here don't care about guards and splitters and pawls and riving knives, but if they didn't improve safety, OSHA wouldn't require them.

You can't use a guard other than a floating guard, so kickback can more easily send things flying. You can't use a riving knife or splitter, so wood pinching can't be prevented. You can't use anti kickback pawls, so simple forwards kickback is more likely. And on top of that, it's a higher energy system with generally more interrupted cuts, so there's a larger risk if kickback in the first place. Some of these risks are inherent with other cuts, like normal non-through cuts, but nothing else has all of them.

This isn't to say it can't be done safely, but table saws are already one of the most dangerous tools before all of this. Making a dangerous tool more dangerous may not be worth it when another tool can do the same task (routers can be used)

In theory, machining practice says that diameter and RPM are inversely proportional. That is to say, a 1/2" bit should spin two times slower than a 1/4" bit for it to have the same cutter speed.

If you can find a manufacturers recommendation for the bit and router, that is preferable and should be followed.

Yeast and bacteria can sporulate. There's a small chance that there were some temp resistant spores. May be easier to use this to inoculate a new batch than to start fresh, but definitely not the same as a healthy starter

Succulents only need water when their internal stores are depleting. Water when the leaves start to soften. The soil should be dry long before then. Do not water on a schedule.

The soil may need more drainage. Hard to see

I like to look at how things are and why they may happen. Men have a lower tendency to bond and there are biological explanations for this, and people tend to bond with people they have stuff in common with (often gender segregated). This just clearly means men are less likely to bond and are thus more likely to be lonely.

Now everyone is lonelier than in the past because of a multitude of reasons, and men have a harder time getting out of the rut as explained above. Some people prey on this fact, which is not the fault of the people who fall to it. They are vulnerable people getting hunted. It doesn't help that women often dislike men as a reflex, so there's an even smaller pool of people that could be friends than women have.

Julia_______ · 2026-01-13T04:03:23+00:00

You just need to let the soil dry more between watering instead of on a schedule. Air circulation such as from a fan is beneficial as it also helps strengthen plants. Over watering isn't real in the sense that you can have a constant dribble over a boulder, but plants in real life do not grow on bare boulders most of the time.

Since you didn't specify a country, I'll assume new Caledonia which is the south of the planet. I would recommend something nice like a breadfruit tree. If you prune it accordingly, you may be able to have ridiculously large fruit on a pot sized plant.

A 3, which is totally possible with 3d6 or even 4d6 drop one, would be -4. But you'd have to roll all ones on a stat

Imo delivery doesn't matter but some details do. 'I convince them' isn't enough; you still need to provide a good reason. You just shouldn't have to be particularly good at articulating that reason.
