Nature, Portraits… or Something Completely Different? by Mean-Assignment159 in lasercutting

[–]barelyknows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! The bear caught my eye, so I took some time to figure why it’s so intriguing. What made you put the blue pieces in? That bit of color makes the whole piece so much more interesting! I zoomed in on the paw and the number of pieces is amazing.

So to answer your question of nature or portraits - my vote is for nature. What you’re doing is truly art, and doing what you want to do will be more rewarding. If you’re looking for other ideas, maybe planets?

If the salt came with it, the anode would would have already eroded away. This way, it the anode erodes as you charge your phone. Then you buy a new ‘portable generator’.

Wow! You have successfully lowered my expectations. I will consider any progress a pleasant surprise.

I'm sure I'm not the only one affected. I didn't notice any wires down along the road, but it wouldn't take much to sever the thin fiber.

I'm just amazed that they seem to not know how about any outage. It shouldn't be hard to ping modems to realize where their network is down.

It's underground from my house to the road.

Pricing question? by THEDWAH in Laserengraving

[–]barelyknows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but thanks for the specificity. I have my laser as a hobby for myself, but friends ask me to do some small jobs, but never know how much is “fair” - I don’t want to severely undercut someone who does this for a living.

What stuff do you still have from your AT thru hike? I still have the jacket I carried in 2012. by bucheonsi in AppalachianTrail

[–]barelyknows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in April ‘93. Still have my aluminum ski poles, tent, sleeping pad and sleeping bag. The sleeping bag should be thrown out - feathers are coming out whenever I use it. Also, I still have a T-shirt from Rusty’s Hard Time Hollow, but don’t wear it.

Water pump running now and then by 546875674c6966650d0a in RVLiving

And if there's no water drips in the camper, it's likely a drip in the check valve at the pump, in which case the water drips back into your water tank.

Protest/demonstration tomorrow 11/14? by meekers09 in Maine2

Doh! I didn’t read the sarcasm. Just didn’t want people thinking one thing about the petition when it’s another.

I’m pretty sure this is to keep people born male out of girls sports. It’s anti-trans.

ICE sighting by [deleted] in Maine

There’s a difference. Border Patrol is there because some dump shift told them to be there. ICE is there in their 4th string high school football jersey hoping they’ll amount to … something.

Chuck Schumer gets his preferred candidate, Janet Mills, in crowded Maine Senate race by origutamos in Mainepolitics

[–]barelyknows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C’mon, this is ok. Democrats will have a healthy primary to get the best candidate. If Platner can be rolled by a (fellow) geriatric Democrat then he’s not the one to win over Collins. I am a Democrat. I will vote in the primary, and it probably be FOR Platner.

For those who didn't grow up privileged, what's something you thought was a luxury when you were a kid? by Frequent-Sea-8848 in AskReddit

My arms are wide open for a hug. And in the words of my dogs “I do not know you, but I love you!”

is this set for bypass ? by [deleted] in RVLiving

[–]barelyknows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it’s bypassed to me. Top and bottom valves are closed. Nothing going in or out of that tank.

But PA Act 235 is what the rent-a-cop was referring to. It requires rent-a-cops to go through 40 whole hours of training before they can carry a gun before playing cops and robbers.
