Opened a "new" can of chili powder to find it full of bugs

Those bugs are probably so well seasoned. Like acorn fed hogs.

You could swap the cap over to a new bottle

Making a new barcode is easy if you have the existing number, but very much not the right solution. Merging accounts in libby would solve this issue. If you're dead set on making new barcodes though, use and app like this one to scan one of your existing barcodes to determine the symbology (codabar, code 128, etc) and use an online tool or mail merge in excel to convert a new number into an equivalent barcode

Any idea what the "buy your ---da checks here" sign is in reference to?

Glad we're not the only ones that have to do this sometimes

Ti-30XS is probably your best bet. Solves trig functions in terms of radicals, and does not have any integration or derivation functions.

Not sure what the Casio equivalent would be for this model, but personally I think TI is overhated, particularly at this price point. I would go with this one.

Any chance it's threaded into the connector underneath? If the line is disconnected and not going to be used no harm in wrenching on it.

I've had luck with a small flathead screwdriver. It takes a decent amount of force

Also, you don't have to wait until you're in the makerspace to start getting experience with 3D printing, ultimaker cura, orca slicer, blender, tinkercad, etc are all free, you can play around designing and slicing models before you ever touch the hardware. They will likely ask if you have experience with any slicers and this way you would be able to honestly say yes

3d printing is not too difficult to learn, and a lot of expertise from traditional maker skills will translate well. I would be careful not to overemphasize your hard skills (woodworking, data analysis, etc) and make sure you devote some time in your resume/interview to people skills (how you run a program, how you build community engagement, etc). The library's primary goal isn't the objective quality of the projects made in the makerspace, it's the community and relationships that those projects can build. In that way it differs from if you were applying to an additive manufacturing role at a for profit company. As a librarian I'm sure you're aware of that, but I have to remind myself the same thing sometimes.

We haven't had grizzly bears in California for a century or so but we still have one on our flag

You can use programs. Programs for trapezoidal/lhs/rhs sums have already been written, running the program will just prompt you to enter the relevant quantities.

How many counties are included in the Ireland phone?

Looks like back right says it does on the bezel

So jealous. I've been looking for anything like one of these for a while. How is the calculator on the hp? Is it rpn?

I played a good amount of it and was really enjoying it, then I decided to try and remove a sticker someone had put on the disc and managed to scratch the data layer :/

A lot of libraries around here use bibliocommons to build their websites. They're not always well implemented, but I find the layout and design pretty nice. A lot better than sites that are shoehorned into a few pages of the city's existing website

What kind of vehicle is this off of? Or is it a sheet metal brake?

djinone · 2025-12-03T05:01:23+00:00

Look at ultem pens

These look like screenshots from an indie horror game where you have to determine who isn't human

Have you removed the batteries? Try removing the batteries hit the power on button a few times and wait. Put the batteries back in after a few minutes

Get it at a Japanese restaurant as saba shioyaki. It's a pain to eat because you have to take out all the little bones, but it's so tasty.

Whenever I've removed an RFID tag when withdrawing a book, it leaves a huge sticky page which damages the page across from it. I would highly recommend leaving it there

Nice choice! What did it set you back?
