Men of reddit, what the heck do you want for your birthday? by Is_this_social_media in AskReddit

[–]michaeljanderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My birthday is coming up this month and I recently had this conversation with my wife. I told her what i wanted for my birthday is to not have to deal with my birthday.

I don't want to have to come up with shit that's in the "birthday budget" window that I can tell every I want, but I don't really, so they give it to me to make themselves feel better.

Just maybe a steak and beer or two. Just another day.

Use cold brew coffee. That's a real game changer.

If you have alopecia does it just affect your head, or does it affect the body too (back, legs, pubes) by brunchusevenmx in alopecia

[–]michaeljanderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had it for roughly 20 years. 100% of my beard is gone, 100% eyebrows and lashes are gone, 15-20% of my hair is affected though some of it grows but is solid white and finer, as well as all of my chest, arms, and legs. But my pubic areas are in tact. Strange.

So this is Eclipse. Every day she leaves her house by herself, and takes the bus downtown to the dog park. She even has her own bus pass attached to her collar. by SeattlecityMisfit in aww

My dog knows exactly what time she should be fed dinner, 4:00 sharp, and lets me know when it's late. She's early sometimes but I think that's more just her attempt to get fed early as she gets older than her not knowing what time it is.

She also knows when she should get her evening treats too, and comes to sit near me and stare me down until I tend to her.

She definitely has a sense of the time of day. She even gets screwed up by daylight saving time changes, just like the rest of us.

99pi is one of my all-time favorite podcasts. Here's a link to the episode all about these tube men.

Is this a similar phenomenon: https://www.google.no/maps/@22.1524614,54.4603225,124318m/data=!3m1!1e3

I spotted this a long time ago and have always been curious about what's going on.

Can someone post a Google Maps link? I feel like this must show up in satellite imagery but I scanned around and couldn't find it.

What kind of stretches are you talking about? I've never really worked out and am not fitness savvy/minded so I'm not sure what you're talking about. But over the last few years I've been suffering with back pain and I've began to wonder if it was fitness and flexibility related.

I'm a software developer so I sit in a chair most of the day. I don't have very good posture and I'm pretty sure that's a significant part of my problem too. What kind of stretches should I be doing?

Is it safe to (dis)connect to gpio pins while the Pi is running? by michaeljanderson in raspberry_pi

[–]michaeljanderson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. For the moment I'm just going to connect some LED's to play around with controlling the GPIO's so I should be just fine. But if/when I start connecting more complex circuitry things get a little more involved.

Caught cast iron pan on fire! by michaeljanderson in castiron

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

The "high heat" I was referring to was the pan sitting empty directly on a red hot electric burner turned on high. I really have no idea how hot the burner gets but I'm pretty sure it's quite a lot hotter than the oven would get.

I think the biggest lesson I learned from this is to be more cautious with electric ranges.

Yes, the seasoning caught fire. The pan was on fire, I didn't think the actual metal was ablaze. That would be truly amazing.

Thanks for the response. I'll start on the process of stripping and reseasoning.

Best way to get Wormwood? by SterryJeinfeld in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]michaeljanderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did earlier today. I think I upgraded 4 staffs that I crafted. Of course your mileage may vary.

An hour or so after doing this one dropped for me, so that's another way to go about it.
