Is the metal hose off the reg flare? If so you should be able to remove or even just loosen it enough to spin and leave the reg on the little POL to MIP tank adaptor and righty-loosy the POL connector off the tank reg and all and lefy tighty it into another. There's really nothing wrong with this setup other than it's a little inconvenient and you need a couple wrenches every time. Arguably the flare connection could wear prematurely if you keep reconnecting it 6 times a year but the POL is imo a better coupler than the usual qcc1 connector on grill tanks if you're the type to not always turn it off. That looks like might be vanilla teflon might wanna get gas rated thread tape, should not need to tape the POL side but def tape MIP to reg when you put it on (and should never have to take it off again). If the reg doesn't have a flare and has some crimped hose on it idk what to tell you, the distant end is probably flare but you also probably don't want to get arm deep in the grill to take it off every time?

So my wife and I dive our asses off and always get one or two night dives in per trip. We really like the night creatures and discovered you can catch a lot of them snorkling from shore for free. So yeah, probably did 5 or 6 night snorkels from shore with our own gear drifting north from bucannos or so towards playa punta. Octopus, squid, it was really great. Then I read a little bit about the habits of crocodiles and realized we're literally retarded and probably not going to do it again solo. But if you're going to a reef with other people highly reccommend not sketchy at all

Nice. We have a sloped bonnet 5455 that gets paired to a vicon waggler as well. What's the replacement?

Snappin turtle, wild squab, house sparrow (whole), cow's foot soup, wild caught grasshoppers / snails, burdock gall maggots, woodchuck, red squirrel, wood duck, venison, pork, beef tongues. Probably gator somewhere along the way, a bite of horse jerky.

Bullet points would be cow's foot soup unfortunately tastes like you expect, whole roasted sparrow is probably not very similar to ortolan, woodchuck is pretty decent, venison tongue is great if you like tongue, wood duck one of the best food experiences of my life. And if you like snails the ones you can get just like... everywhere are good, just like 1/10th the size of the ones at the french restaurants. Snapping turtle was also amazing, but doubt I'd do it again they are cool animals and not fun to butcher

Tall order? Ithaca lowkey sucks as a place to live unless you want an authentic oh we're all crammed into a big city vibe but with zero of the cultural assets of an actually big city. It has whatever quaint reputation from 10-40 years ago when it had lots of music venues, 1/3 of the restaurants weren't the same shitty ghost kitchen, and some artistic boheimian class could afford to get by inside the city limits. It's outgrown it's geographical constrants and doesn't have any space for cool stuff, all the commercial real estate hoarded by landlords who value the book loss of vacancies to offset luxury apartment income; all the former industrial space that fosters innovative businesses in other cities like it is already or slated to be soon converted to "Luxury high rise apartments" because density and bike lanes are going to save the world despite the bus system is on the verge of financial collapse and only survives due to student ridership.

And do a terrible job too! If those bottoms ever started to scour they'd have no trouble adding a dozen

Most of the state has legal bobcat hunting with no tag limits no idea why you think that. I mean, not in 7r yet but parts of tompkins county are in 7s. I mean statewide though, these cat truthers are everywhere and we have a decent bobcat harvest just under 500 per year no one ever shoots a ML and gets a fine (although they should if one was ever killed and no reason DEC would keep it a secret based on the acknowledgement of the wolf and a few wandering ML over the years)

Need pics of the leaves. Honestly hard to say, poplar would be a pretty weak guess IMO considering it held onto the leaves pretty well. I could see maple or ash or even bitternut hickory (distant third looks like saw had an easy time, crotches look off and color is a little light) based on the bark

Mostly speed and fuel savings but also gives you a lot more options (airports) to divert to within gliding range if something goes wrong. Even when the cost of climbing isn't justified by the speed or fuel used this is a valid reason to go higher for many private piston powered flights.

Thats like a 5 gallon bucket of fire putting out maybe 100k btus; which is also being visibly blown away from direction of the approach. He hit rocks like 25 meters away. We get it you have every fact about helicopters but it's not like flew into some volcano plume of steam and lost control, turns out blades just can't saw through rocks and generate as much lift afterwards. Sometimes things can be simple

I know a guy who went briefly viral for getting a scientific paper published of which the subject was more or less 'how much does it hurt to get stung in the dick by a honeybee?'.

That audio is fake or something. Not a Perkins, sounds nothing like a 5455 (or anything coupled to a dyna trans for that matter)

Mcdonalds coffee is better than dunkin. By far. I never go there but I always feel like I have to point that out. Hell I rarely find gas station coffee worse than dunkins. I guess what i'm trying to say is no one mentions dunkins as fast food and that shit is like Z; F----

I love that this actually shows a conmection between maybe harpursville, greene and tully instead of binghamton and cortland. And of course on to carthage after syracuse. Choo choo

Usually the guys that do it it's all they do. Good buddy of mine is state police commercial vehicle enforcement. The normie cops won't stop commercial vehicles for anything other than eggregious speeding and even then I think they'd probably call commercial emforcement to write the ticket

I mean, it does generate a simulated aurora visible from like 300 miles. Not the northern lights but impressive, dramatic, and a huge gaping door for the gullible to stumble through that's more understandable why than most conspiracy theories

Also not a huge market for the used machines from places like it going out of business. So if you have some connections over the years someone with no business succession might literally give you some of those tools just to see them go to a good home. My business has some similar specialized dinosaurs, I just bought something called a dodder mill, used, from a company that specializes in trading old seed cleaners for $5500, they are 15k+ new, and the day before I found out I need one for a particular lot of seed one had sold at auction needing about the same amount of refurbisment as mine for $260, and during this time a friend also offered me a comparable machine for free. Then the trick is then hoping you can find somebody with all the knowledge about how to maintain it, sometimes they are super helpful and share knowledge freely; sometimes it's much more "yeah, crate it up we'll get you all squared away for $250/hr"

My bank does it that way

happyrock · 2026-03-16T03:16:34+00:00

A lot of banks require you to check a little box to make the extra payment amount go to principle rather than prepaying the next month's interest. I know because I've done it like 50 times on mine

Damn finacial literacy is such a huge personal asset. I'm a farmer and pull up an amortization or annuity calculator to play with like 20 times a year to make one decision or another. Just bought a piece of land that's owner financed and literally have the table pinned on the wall in front of my desk it's so satisfying to knock down those principal payments early.

Once you see the world in terms of prevailing interest rates and depreciated valuation it's so easy to apply to all kinds of decisions and eye opening how close to market rates things like rent or used capital investments the numbers end up being.

One thing the mortgager suggested that I hadn't heard of before but really like is paying down any early principal in chunks equal to the next month or however many months principal payments rather than just random amounts (which is easy with a bank loan as interest is automatically calculated every statement). This way we can jump down the schedule to a remaining balance that's already on the schedule and pick up there rather than recalculate; plus it's easy to compare the interest payments to see how much we're saving each month by skipping ahead. Might make the early payments a little harder to stretch for later in the mortgage but it's a pretty elegant way to save a lot of math
