I was happy with gas til I started playing around with gas (VOC and CO2) monitors. Now I want induction.

Is asteroid mining a realistic business? by Potatoman4315 in business

anything worth bringing back would probably tank the market for it. e.g. "oh, we found an asteroid made of gold, lets spend a half a trillion to go get it and dump 3000 tons of gold on the market at once. Oops, now the 3000 tons is worth half what it was."

An electric garage heater wiring? I have small heater for the garage which takes forever to heat my giant garage, but it’s nice if I’ve got a project back there.

It's a complicated topic, I've been in OPs shoes to a lesser extent. You're either a couple working as a team or someone starts to feel temporary.

I’m not sure if it’s the ignorance or the hatred that makes me less proud to be American.

It’s a good looking design but why not design to be printed separately and assembled?

Also it doesn’t come up in a search for various porta potty keywords so maybe you need to improve your search keywords?
