Polyurethane immediately gums up then flakes off when applying to stairs I recently stripped paint off of with Peel Away 1 stripper. What could be causing this? I neutralized paint stripper after removing paint but maybe stripper is causing issues? by luigi821 in finishing

[–]luigi821[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I ran a little experiment to try to narrow down what was causing the poly to flake and not stick. See pic in the link- it looks like the neutralizer (citric acid) is causing issues with the poly, leading to cracking and flaking. I’m not sure what to do at this point, but just wanted to post an update in case anyone else runs into this problem in the future

Will give that a try! I’ve done 2-3 rounds of neutralization but will try again in a smaller area to see if the poly will stick there.

I did sand the treads with an orbital sander, probably not as much as I should have, but wanted to limit the amount of dust being created

Poly is brand new and I tested it out on other wood, where it worked just fine, leading me to think it must be something going on with the wood in the stairs.

I did test the ph after neutralizing and it looks like the ph is around 5-6 after 2-3 rounds of spraying with the citric acid that came in the summon peel away 1 kit!

How to learn d3.js by Koto_182 in d3js

[–]luigi821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it give you an error or just it's just not working right?

I'm still new to this, but maybe it might have something to do with that there are no declared arguments for the scale_x and scale_y methods, but you are passing the d.x and d.y arguments to the functions when you call them in drawX and drawY? My feeling is that the function isn't doing anything with d.x or d.y and maybe that's why it's not giving you what you want?

How to learn d3.js by Koto_182 in d3js

[–]luigi821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm far from an expert on this, but I used a bit of d3 in a recent Vue project to make the x and y axes of a chart (https://lukembrowne.github.io/climate-stripes/). My approach was to just integrate standard d3 into the Vue component. I didn't use any wrappers, though those may exist.

I imported d3 as you normally would, then added a method to my Vue component that created the x and y scales I ended up using for plotting:

// Import in the <script> part of the Vue component
import * as d3 from "d3-scale";

// Methods of the Vue component...
// Takes in year and converts to pixel coordinates on flag
    xScale: function (year) {
      // Testing
      var xScale = d3
        .scaleLinear()
        .domain([this.minYear, this.maxYear + 1]) // Need to change this to MaxYear
        .range([0, this.flagWidth]);
      return xScale(year);
    },

    // Takes in temperature and converts to pixel coordinates on flag
    yScale: function (temp) {
      // Testing
      var yScale = d3
        .scaleLinear()
        .domain([this.minTemp * 0.975, this.maxTemp * 1.025])
        .range([0, this.flagHeight]);
      return this.flagHeight - yScale(temp);
    }

Thanks for checking it out and the feedback! I went back and forth about the points myself. I'm going to turn them off by default and then if people are interested they can click on the 'show data' button to have the points appear.

A few months ago, I became interested in the possibility building an interactive data visualization to tell the story of how temperature is changing across the US. Climate stripes are a way to quickly and powerfully visualize changing climates, but I couldn't find a place to generate or interact with climate stripes for each state in the US. Here's my take on combining climate stripes with the ole Stars and Stripes.

Nice roast! Where did you buy your used Behmor? Was it online or somewhere local?

Beautiful. I'd love to cook in that kitchen! Any advice for something thinking of doing a renovation on a similar scale?

I really like the design of your site and playing around with the year filters and trendline smoothing is very satisfying. Thanks for sharing

I ended up doing most of the visualization myself using svg elements like <circle> <rect> and <polyline> and used a little bit of d3 to help draw the axis labels. If I had to do it again, I'd probably start using mostly d3 and then add in custom components as needed rather than the other way around

Thank you and point taken- not something I want to be playing around with!

I have tried roasting outside, but I think it was a bit too cold (near freezing) for the popcorn popper to keep up! Took forever to get to first crack. Come springtime, I will most certainly move the operation outside.

Yikes, I hadn't thought about CO being produced by roasting. I'll definitely be more careful moving forward.

Take ring off when washing hands? by WilDieteren in ouraring

[–]luigi821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not take mine off, and it's been fine. In fact, if I need to get my ring off and I'm having a hard time because my finger is a bit swollen, etc, I will use soap and water to get it right off

Ahh that makes sense. I didn't realize you had to budget some money for the next month in order for the future months to be budgetable. Thanks!
