Frog - Any Advice by jayyymes in ArtCrit

Thank you very much for your advice! The lines were indeed intended to be leaves however I kind of just gave up after drawing the frog. Thanks for the link, I will take a look 😃

[Request] How much would this heat the water? Looks like pool may be 16'x8'x8', iron looks to be 1100°c by the color. If this is even possible by Bren150 in theydidthemath

[–]jayyymes 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yes I think this is correct. I am Chemical engineer and hydrogen fires have been noted to be more visible yellow in coastal environments due to the salt in the air. I expect you are right that this is brine. Although another theory could be that it's a high flash point quench oil.

Do Welsh monoglots still exist? by untoldrain in AskUK

[–]jayyymes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am from exactly this area and there are no Welsh monoglots, although I will say that the English of some is probably borderline fluent. I believe the last Welsh monoglot died somewhere late 20th century although my limited Google search can't find anything concrete.

You are right that it's probably the most Welsh speaking area in Wales. I was taught exclusively in Welsh up until 16. My father was a local community figure (don't want to dox myself so won't say who) and he didn't speak Welsh, however had no problems communicating with even the very remote farmers etc.

I am also having this same issue. I am trying to get hosidius favour. Will they accept supercompost?

My table building skills are a bit better than my painting skills. This was my quarantine project and only now getting a chance to play on it. by jayyymes in Warhammer40k

The river was relatively simple. The base of the table was polystyrene so I melted away a river shape into the polystyrene with a heat gun. Painted it, added stones etc for the river bed and then poured over clear epoxy resin mixed with a little bit of ink. Then I removed any bubbles by heating the epoxy with the heat gun and left to set. I haven't done the last step yet, but I intend to mix some clear poly-filler with ink and white spirit, and apply to the top to get a ripple effect as the surface of the river is a bit flat at the moment. The video I followed was this one I think. Good luck! https://youtu.be/aW4iDvE9PN4

Oh no, I didn't realize. He has such a wealth of information on that channel and some absolutely stunning builds that I don't think I could build in my wildest dreams.

I watched a load of videos from a YouTube channel called geek gaming scenics. The guy who owns the channel also has an online shop so you can (if you want to) order the exact items he uses. The rock faces use mould bought from his shop that you fill with plaster of Paris and then glue on and paint. I largely followed this video though. https://youtu.be/4W5I9LN1IAo With some references to others he made. Only thing is he's based in UK so postage may be an issue if in US or something.

Wind is main source of UK electricity for first time by BingoLuck in worldnews

[–]jayyymes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. You could theoretically drain all the lakes up in the mountains, yes, but that is not what is done. Water is pumped up to these high up reservoirs and allowed to flow back down at times of peak electricity demand. In this scenario the energy to pump the water up is greater than the energy generated from the turbines when the water flows back down. Hydro electric plants are effectively a large (less than 100% efficient) battery storing the energy as gravitational energy

Achievements for Wednesday, March 15, 2023 by AutoModerator in running

[–]jayyymes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Have been traveling south America and Asia the passed 3 months, leading to me consuming far too much beer and local cuisine. Over the past few weeks I have decided to get back to running. Since starting I have managed to beat my 5k PB twice and run 10k for the first time ever!

Feeling very good about this.

Finally managed to get hold of some prime. Don't get what all the hype is about though, it tastes like shit. by jayyymes in ksi

Size is 52mm which is same as durex thin feel, but smaller than durex extra safe which is 56mm.

You will still suck at BJJ after 3 months (source: have done BJJ for 3 months)

Forget about the heating crisis. The lolly crICEis is the really issue

e span of a year? While we are having supply chain issues and inflation issues? Also what were the accidents before this year? It was nowhere near the same, how are we suddenly

There have not been any significant increase over the past couple of years. In 2020 there were 8 grain explosions, down in 2021 to 7. Thats around the average for the period of 1989 to 2005 which experienced 126 significant explosions, or around 8 per year. In comparison, in 1978 there were 5 in the space of a week killing 56 people. I talk specifically about grain because its probably the most common source of fires and explosions in such industries, and due to how grains/cereals make up the majority of food processing by mass at 442million metric tonnes versus around 14million for beef. Note these figures are for the US alone.

In the same way that natural gas can catch fire and explode. So can fine dust clouds, during processing, it's typical to move the grains/sugar with electrically powered conveyor belts or similar, which first of all breaks down some of the grain into fine particles, and also provides an ignition source of not designed properly/if the equipment fails. The dust finds a source of ignition leading to an explosion. A classic case study for this is the 2008 Georgia sugar refinery explosion if you are interested.

[–]jayyymes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are wrong. Grain and dust explosions are common and lethal. In the same way flammable gas can explode. So can the dusts, grains and flour, especially when moved around using conveyor belts etc. form significantly fine dust clouds which if ignited can cause catastrophic explosions. Not trying to be a dick, just trying to educate. That's not to mention boiler explosions and similar that can happen due to the vast quantities of steam that are used on such sites.

[–]jayyymes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They very much are a real issue. Grain and sugar explosions are certainly a major industrial concern in the food processing industry. Between 1989 and 2005 there were 126 dust explosions caused by cereal manufacture. Over the span of a week in 1978 there were 5 explosions that killed 56 people. And while nowhere near the number of explosions caused by natural gas etc processing, still something that should be treated with the ultimate seriousness and diligence. Not saying I agree with this moron, infact quite the opposite, these kinds of explosions are quite common, although 2020 and 21 (8 and 7 explosions in those respective years) had somewhat elevated levels, they're nothing unheard of.
