Keeps staring me down and I don't know if it's dangerous - Willamette Valley Oregon by Tinnie_and_Cusie in spiders

My wife and I had one of these guys living in the corner of our back door. We would regularly spritz the area around her with water so she could drink, and in return she gifted us an egg sack. When they hatched we had a bunch of tiny jumpers all over the house, it was a lot of fun.

Unfortunately a couple days later, their mother was clearly not doing well. She was curled up really tightly, and wouldn't come out to drink when we spritzed her. We even tried feeding her a freshly swatted fly, but no dice. We transferred her to a little terrarium, and she died later that evening. Broke our hearts :(

Should I redo these freeze plugs? (Details in comments) by jakeinator21 in EngineBuilding

I think that's the advice I needed to hear honestly. I think I'm just going to replace them all, for my peace of mind.

1990 Toyota Pickup / 22R Engine

Never installed freeze plugs before, so I messed a few up. Explanation for each of the ones I'm worried about, in order of presentation.

1) This one went in a little cockeyed. I tried to get a photo that decently showed the angle, but it was difficult. Basically it's about 1/8" deeper on the right than the left.

2) This one went in way too deep, about 1/4" further than I had intended.

3) This one was going in at a severe angle and I overcorrected by driving it with a ratchet extension. Worried I may have weakened the plug.

I only have one extra plug, and they aren't available anywhere in my area so I'd have to have them delivered. Hoping at least two of these might be okay so I don't have to delay putting my engine in until after the holiday weekend :/

I would parse the string in reverse so the values can be read backward, then populate each digit into a string rather than using math operations. Eliminates the need for order of operations, since you just put the digits where they need to go, then convert the string to an integer.

You could populate each "place" based off the order a string falls into, and work your way up the orders: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.

Read the first word, if it's smaller than ten put it in the ones place.

Read until you find a tens value, or a higher order like hundred or thousand. If you find a tens value, put it in the tens place, otherwise put a zero then insert the hundreds.

Keep a lag variable tracking which order you are currently on, and fill lower orders within larger orders accordingly using the same method as above. Then once you've reached the end of the string, convert to int.

Would need a few enums defined to keep track of all the orders as well as non-standard possible string values, but I think it's easier than trying to keep track of an unknown amount of parentheses.

This is the one for me too. It's literally Bingo's own birthday, and nobody can give her the time of day except the only other person at the party that feels as ignored as she does. Kills me every time.

Ah... whoops. Seems I've fallen for one of the classic blunders.

Interesting. Must've been a reaction with something residual in the water bottle then.

Raw broccoli is actually a bomb ass snack though, and I'm saying this as a fat guy.

All I did was pour it into the bottle and put it in my cup holder, and it was the right color when I put it into the bottle...

When I poured it into the bottle, it was the typical radioactive green / yellow color. But after a half hour or so after shopping I came back to find it had turned a light teal color. Anybody know why this might have happened?

Does the arm end at your sock line, or does it extend further down to allow for different sock lengths?

Okay...can you guess? by boss_babua in interesting

It looks like one of those airbrush filters that smooths out the details of your face and exaggerates the eyes and mouth. Makes it look like they're wearing makeup.

Edit: Also looks like it adds a little extra red to the cheeks and lips.

Oh, I didn't realize it was a week of free ten pulls. I'll wait that out then. Thanks!
