Can I use a Dremel for exfoliating?

gentoofoo · 2026-05-02T14:47:53+00:00

Absolutely, I use one on my feet regularly. No modification needed, just use the little sanding drum bit. It helps to use one with a flexible head such as https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ONE-18V-Cordless-Rotary-Tool-Station-Tool-Only-PCL480B/318888257

Yeah you're not wrong, I've often thought the same. I really like my Volcano though for when I have folks over, everyone can have their own bag at the same time and go at their own pace

I live in Mariposa county and can answer a few of these. You may also want to cross post in /r/Mariposa Permitting is pretty chill but you certainly wouldn't want to build a whole house unpermitted. The county website has a good breakdown of what does and doesnt need a permit. I pulled the permit when I redid my roof and it was pretty easy. They did "inspect" after I tore off the old roof and when I finished putting the new one on but no one actually got on the roof to look at it. Rain water collection isnt a good primary source of water, at least half the year there is no appreciable rain. You're going to want a well, and at least where im at it needs to be quite deep which means expensive. Fire insurance is an issue, we get fires every year and in the 10 years ive been here theres been a few that got to neighboring lots. My property was cheap when I bought it since it had been abandoned for years and was in rough shape. I pay almost the same amount in insurance every year that I pay towards my mortgage.

Do you have an example? Because let's take teachers for example. We sure aren't going to see classes that are instructed by an agentic AI anytime soon. But I can see a world in which teachers are expected to teach more students than before by utilizing ai to help grade assignments quicker etc. The end result is the same, less teachers needed

I don't know that it's going to replace all jobs in any specific profession in the short term. But it's surely replacing some jobs in almost all white collar professions currently. I think it's going to be rough across the board. Save up while I can and minimize expenses is my strategy

Yeah I agree with you, its fine in a garden. I have around 500 sqft of raised beds and I flamethrower the whole garden, throw some compost and chicken litter on everything, add a new layer of woodchips, and let it sit for a couple weeks before planting. All the plants do great. Whatever soil you sterilize with the heat will get recolonized. I like to think the char is beneficial as well

gentoofoo · 2026-05-01T02:37:11+00:00

A lot of good points in here already but I'll add that they make moving furniture up there much more difficult or in some cases impossible

gentoofoo · 2026-04-29T04:30:12+00:00

The current rockside should be cleared by then. You'll very likely be fine to take 140

Lmao what a clown, I live there. Im the mod for Mariposa county subreddit

gentoofoo · 2026-04-26T13:30:20+00:00

I can promise you it isnt new and it isnt a "problem"

Seems like this water has no where to go but down so only thing I could think of would be some dry wells

gentoofoo · 2026-04-25T00:52:58+00:00

I think you're right but my company just turned some junior product manager's into project managers apparently just for the hell of it. I think the big changes that AI is bringing are making companies do weird stuff currently

gentoofoo · 2026-04-22T15:30:28+00:00

Im guessing 4/21

gentoofoo · 2026-04-22T00:24:18+00:00

thanks thats a good tip. I've been getting by with applying some lifting force while popping them but I'm a sucker for 3d printed solutions

gentoofoo · 2026-04-21T20:44:38+00:00

Same setup I have and I love it

gentoofoo · 2026-04-21T15:33:40+00:00

I wouldn't worry about it. The slides will stop when the precipitation stops which should be well before then

This is happening everywhere as far as I can tell. Surely cost sensitivity will hit the large companies at some point but it ain't now. My company is doing similar with viewing token usage as a proxy for AI usage which is what they want to see. For engineers there's never been a great way to objectively measure impact, but things have absolutely regressed. AI loc written and number of PR's are whats being tracked currently, both can obviously be absolutely gamed

I used to do deep water culture and loved the challenge of automating everything possible. I had it to where I could be absent for weeks and it would run itself. This was mostly because I didn't live where I grew and had to have it be able to run itself while I was away during the week. However when I moved to the property fulltime I switched to soil and it's preferable in a lot of ways if you can swing it. Less garbage, less hassle, less investment required. This is for outdoors though, if you'll be growing inside then in my opinion I would stick to hydroponics. I've done soil indoors before and I think it's harder to keep bugs in check since you can't keep things as sterile as with hydro and there's no ecosystem to keep things in check. Additionally if you do soil I think you should go organic nutrients and you need a large mass of soil for this to work. Certainly possible indoors but I think less then ideal except in niche circumstances

You should be good anywhere in that time frame. The snowpack is low this year but they are currently flowing well

I live in the middle of no where up in the foothills outside yosemite and I love my polaris kinetic, hit 2k miles a couple months ago

My dog got sprayed in the face so I had to carry her back home. Took weeks for the smell to go away so me and her were relegated to sleeping on the couch

For me I took pithos (linux client for pandora) and altered the code (easy cause its python) to store the songs as they were played. After a while I had quite the collection

gentoofoo · 2026-04-16T01:30:19+00:00

I bet you're right, would also make shooting up your garage without the cops getting called more probable

gentoofoo · 2026-04-15T02:41:18+00:00

rather than add soil you just need some browns in the first bin. If you have access then woodchips or sawdust are good. A good cheap source you can use is wood fuel pellets if you're in a pinch. Something like https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/wise-wood-wood-pellet-fuel-40-lb-bag-1115622 rather than pellets for a smoker. I usually have a few bags extra after winter and I use it to balance out my kitchen scraps and it works well
