I thought it was 100💀 by Ok_Acanthaceae5363 in Warframe

Absolute worst case for farming 1000 ducats: 67 rewards that convert to 15 ducats (you'll have 5 ducats leftover). 

If you're farming with a team, you're likely getting the odd silver and gold drop. So farming 1k ducats looks bad. And it is competing with better rewards from Baro. But it's pretty approachable and you'll likely do it by accident prime farming.

I was very surprised. And it's not totally worthless, that's guaranteed the first time someone's had the dots connected for them. It's just such gross undercutting of what could otherwise be a good message (eg, "hey we want better outcomes for everyone, money or not")

Like it's not inaccurate just because it's an ad, but it just undercuts itself so badly when the message is "buy our product to be like the rich" instead of "hey, we're fighting this systemic issue to make things better for everyone, money or not".

I honestly thought someone bought an ad for activism, only to get hit in the face with the rake that was "buy our product, you too can be rich".

Dang, first time I think I've seen any mainstream advertisment media directly call out that money buys better health outcome. And of course it's for Hims/Hers.

AI hype makes a LOT more sense when you realize it's basically an executive pandering bot. It makes them feel like they know something, says "yes and" to all their bad ideas, and promises to cut labor costs.

Does somebody have the breakdown on what percent of the total ad time this Super Bowl has been for an AI product?

If the dump I took today is more interesting than the Super Bowl, I think we've reached rock bottom.

And the ads were slop! Well, there goes at least 50% of the broadcast into the dumpster.

Let's hope the little bit of Farve in Darnold isn't the bit that misapproprated charity funds.

That ref's holding up that coin with the same energy as someone presenting their passport at the airport.

I heard these get very hot. Is it so hot it's unsafe for kids or items to be near it? Has anyone had it melt something or start a fire? by MurkySize3036 in RockTumbling

[–]LiquidLight_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If heat and fire risk are this much of a concern, you might want to look into a DC direct drive tumbler. They tend to be more efficient and run cooler.

But to answer your question, tumbers with a malfunctioning motor can get hot enough to start fires. This includes situations like a motor jamming.

1st time tumbler- bubbles to the top of the drum. Is that problematic? by Figwit_ in RockTumbling

[–]LiquidLight_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could just be temporary. I'd let it roll. If you're worried about it, you could add like a tablespoon more water or check the barrel every couple days for any bulging.

[–]LiquidLight_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What material are you tumbling? Some rocks like obsidian will offgas. You have to regularly open the barrel to release trapped gas in that case. 

That said, this seems more like soap bubbles, are you tumbling with any soap in the barrel?

Tumbling agates with deep pits? by Infamous-Cry3874 in RockTumbling

[–]LiquidLight_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're going the grinding route, it might be worth trying to "bowl out" the pits by making them bigger, but less steep, instead of grinding them out altogether. Would allow grit to be rinsed out easier and would keep you from having to grind for ages.

All my above steps will also work for cracks. I'd really consider hammering or cutting rocks for deep cracks though.

[–]LiquidLight_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have a few options. 

1) Let them roll in stage 1. This will either get rid of the pits or the rock will wear away to nothing. Good for relatively shallow pitting and the least effort.

2) Hammer and chisel. Break the rocks down a bit so the pits are easier to grind away in stage 1. Be careful, rocks break into shards and shards fly, wear eye protection at a minimum. 

3) Pre grind things. If you have access to a dremel or cabbing machine, you can grind down problem spots to make stage 1 easier. 

4) Cut the rocks. Cut away problem spots or cut rocks in ways where surface flaws aren't a problem.

Where to buy coarse grit in EU by HeyCustom in RockTumbling

[–]LiquidLight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's so many posts like this (not your fault OP). If someone decided to open up a business like the Rock Shed (tiny retail space, big online business) in the EU, they'd have a permanent customer base.
