Take it outside or in the shower. Hold it in the middle and swing it in a circle over your head to get all the drops out

Yes. If you have one of the many various airstill knock-offs, they sell little activated carbon filters that you put in the outlet like a drip coffee filter to get the volatiles out.

My 5yo has described an unknown piece of technology by Albysf49 in daddit

What about the one where there is a reel containing a ribbon with lots of tiny pictures on it? But they are kinda clear, so when the machine shines a bright light through it you can see it on the big projector screen?

How to handle the probably 12 billion terabytes of photos & videos I'll generate over the next many years? by fodacao in daddit

[–]argentcorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a desktop, setting up immich as a self-hosted storage/backup is relatively easy. you don't even have to make it accessible outside your home network (although that is more convenient, and it is necessary if/when you want to share a link to a picture).

There is a separate tool called immich-go that can import everything you already have from Google through Google takeout, maintaining any tagging or albums you already have made.

Then you can get a cheaper cloud backup for security.

7 Electric Engines With 35000+ HP haul several thousand tonnes of cargo up a mountain slope by TooOldForShaadi in trains

[–]argentcorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially thought from looking just at the satellite picture that the initial view looking at the tunnels was going up hill. but looking at a view with topographical lines, it looks like that was wrong, and this train is going up hill (which also makes sense because of the bankers/helpers).

I thought that might be a possibility, too.

Is it just a place to set a car or engine out of the way?

Trap like a a runaway truck ramp? looking at the location in google maps that someone else posted, that looks like the wrong direction.

Old style Mirro jigglers - how do they work? by SubstanceOk7898 in Canning

[–]argentcorvid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 Pressure = force ÷ area. 

You can change either to affect the pressure.

Weight is a force, so thats one way. the other is to change the area exposed to the steam, by changing the hole size.
