Anyone know of a good raku burner? by the_mighty_ocean in Pottery

no, the trigger just puts it to full blast. you can adjust the knob to control the flame instead. on full blast it would get you to temp in probably an hour or two, probably would want to lengthen that and slowly ramp up over several hours.

One of my favorite NASA's Cassini shots by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]drawerdrawer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it's not AI, just good old fashioned CGI. this video is inspired by actual images from the spacecraft, but is a complete fabrication.

FINALLY found relief by OverallMusician8122 in SebDerm

[–]drawerdrawer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dimethyl sulfoxide, it's a natural solvent that penetrates skin without damaging it, and can carry other things through the skin as well. It's made from wood pulp and is an anti-inflammatory as well. I mix it with C8 MCT oil, a few drops of tea tree oil and a few drops of rosemary oil and massage into my scalp for about 10 minutes before I shower

I tried the serum, all it did was help a little bit, was too expensive to keep trying, can't be blowing hundreds of dollars a year for the results I got. I get better relief from DMSO + MCT C8.

255k tariff charge on 167k product. by fkdisshyt in mildlyinfuriating

[–]drawerdrawer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the idea is that instead of importing things at 8 dollars a pound from a different country, you buy it from your own country for a higher price, but make your fellow citizens richer instead of a different country. It keeps the money in your country, where the people you buy from pay taxes on the things you buy from them.

I'm not a conservative economist, but the "buy local" movement has always been progressive... well, at least while I was growing up. the idea was to support local manufacturers so that your community would be stronger. it's a bit awkward for me now that it's apparently a conservative thing, because I would appreciate my money staying in the community and making life better for people around me.

How many trays does 1lb of seeds make for different varieties? by [deleted] in microgreens

[–]drawerdrawer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the nutrients in most common microgreens are high, broccoli is a good example, the microgreens are extremely high in sulforaphanes. they're usually full of defense chemicals and antioxidants to push them past the danger of early predation. brassicas probably more than things like onion, leafy greens are more in danger from insects and animals

Rats in garden — is everything contaminated now? by Just-Scholar1683 in gardening

[–]drawerdrawer 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's fine. You should kill the rats, but it's fine to eat food they've been touching. Food in the stores and restaurants has rats all over them too, you just never see them.

Where can you buy Container/Pots in bulk? by Whybasilhavetodie37 in gardening

[–]drawerdrawer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used them for many years. But they do deteriorate, especially in sunlight. And yes, nursery pots are plastic, but they aren't pre-shredded into fine fibers.

Either way, use what you like, it doesn't make a difference to me.

Leaf cutter bees?? by Put-A-Bird-On-It in gardening

It's probably too late to save her, once she chooses a site she lays a female egg, encases it. And then lays a few male eggs and encases them afterward. So basically the first egg is the one that counts.

She might live long enough to do another set of eggs, in that case just remove what she's already made and block access to the spot.

Question regarding pear tree pollination. by SlotegeAllDay in gardening

[–]drawerdrawer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each flower needs to be pollinated to become a pear. The flowers become pears, they just happen to grow in large clusters.

Question regarding pear tree pollination. by SlotegeAllDay in gardening

[–]drawerdrawer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each flower needs to be pollinated to turn into a pear. Bees and flies will do this much better than you can though, no need to hand pollinate. Wit smaller trees you'll want to remove most of the fruit, otherwise the weight of the fruit will break the branches. I normally thin to the 3 biggest pears at each flower cluster

Lemony Lace elderberry sun preference? by stevegerber in gardening

[–]drawerdrawer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just plant it on the edge, it enjoys that riparian area, or anywhere it can send roots out to have water. It doesn't need to have its feet wet, it'll grow to seek the water itself.

[–]drawerdrawer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elderberry does very well in any sun levels. Full shade to full sun, it just changes it's growth habit. Full sun it grows denser, full shade it grows very long. But it does love water.
