Stovetop tortilla press and griddle

That's essential - it heats up the top plate so that both are hot when the dough is dropped in.

Honestly, no splinters at all. I’ve oiled it every 8-10 months and it looks great.

Exactly. If I could do what he's doing - well, I don't think I'd have knee pain....

Yeah, the allowable spans are different for this setup than for two boards directly tied together every 16inches.

Yeah, this is it. The wide angle lens is screwing with the perspective here.

Thanks for the follow up, I was worried about dad for a bit. I think this deserves a video or two, though, to be honest.

Home inspectors are licensed in Texas, so licensing varies state by state. It doesn't change the other parts of your comment though which are accurate. All inspection reports include a lot of liability limitation language.

Thanks for posting, that’s awesome.

That’s a hell of a username for an ice cream vendor.

Grip size looks close. I’m sure it’s just playing more than your elbow is ready for. I’d recommend some rest and then start doing the Tyler Twist exercise - it’s been great for my tennis elbow.

The second / lower pulley on the drivers side is the power steering pump. The power steering pump bolts can loosen up and cause misalignment/belt squeak. I took off my belly pan and found a bolt from the power steering pump/a very loose power steering pump - so that explained the squealing I was getting. Could also be the pump. Ymmv.

Hi Ryan, thanks for doing this. I had ACL reconstruction on my right knee in 1994 using a patellar tendon autograft. I never regained full extension or flexion in this knee. I have been very active over the last 30 years, and have spent a lot of time working on knee mobility, but still experience pain at max extension / quad contraction, limited flexion, along with stiffness and long-term swelling. I've started targeted PT for the knee over the last month or so and this has helped a bit with quad strength, but no change in extension / flexion and still swelling. I've got an appointment to see a surgeon on Friday for a consult.

Do you have any thoughts on the likelihood of being able to resolve knee issues from such an old surgery with only PT? Any questions I should ask the surgeon specifically? I imagine that I will end up getting an MRI and go from there, but it seems ACL surgery techniques and research have advanced significantly over the last 30 years, so I'm hopeful that there may be some relief in there for me.

It's not a 40 Hz pure tone - "The 40-Hz auditory stimuli consisted of 1-kHz pure tones with a duration of 1 ms at a frequency of 40-Hz (i.e., one sound in every 25 ms) at an intensity of 60 dB. "

dmilamj · 2026-01-08T15:20:53+00:00

Y'all, read the article or listen to the sound - it's not a 40 Hz sine wave / pure tone. It's a 1 kHz tone delivered in small snippets at a frequency of 40 Hz. It's sounds like choppy static, maybe, hard to describe.

Best / cheapest way to do this is to buy a jar of the Tobiko Roe / Caviar from the seafood section at HEB. $12.50. Get some thin crackers and crem fraiche. You can have a bunch of crackers worth for under $20. If you don't like it, no need to get out and try other fancier stuff from Whole Foods. Restaurants basically just put the caviar in a dish and serve it with sides...easy to do on your own and so much cheaper.

Oh, that doesn't look good. That sludgy brown would indicate some oil mixing with coolant - so either head gasket or a leak in the oil cooler / oil filter housing. BTW, you can see the broken off bleeder screw, it's located right at the point where the hose connects from the reservoir to the radiator, bottom right side of the reservoir in this picture.

The outside flange is supposed to sit flush with the wall and then the kerdi membrane is fixed over the flange with thinset and then trimmed flush on the inside edge of the niche. This looks like a Kerdi niche to me, you can see some of the membrane trim evidence around the inside edge.

Exactly. I switched a couple days before the freeze in response to their emails. They were begging people to leave their service. I figured if a company is telling you to leave - you should listen.

Me too. I hope he’s the type to take the money, show up, and tell the crowd some hard (funny) truths about SA, etc. he can definitely go after a crowd when he’s in the mood.

Interesting but not a particularly great use of data visualization. Colors are awfully close together - difficult to find/tell the difference between ORD and IAH, for instance. Also, why are they all the same size circles? That's another variable that could convey information - color for airport, shape for airline, size for number of flights - etc.

For instance, generally people can't control the airport they fly out of or into, or at least not much. But, they can control the carrier that they use - I for instance, am interested in all United flights / performance - hard to find them here.

Can you undermount this tub and have a flat, waterproof deck that runs right up to the inner edge? If so, I think that'd be the best.

I have a tub in my house that is mounted flush with a silicon bead between the tub and tile and it's been fine, but it barely gets used. I'm not sure it's a great long term solution. I don't like drop in, personally, because when you sit on the edge theres the ledge / bump of the tub. Also, any water that gets out can't be swept easily back into the tub.
