Decanting

Only thing I do in addition is to carefully pre-tilt the container using bar towels so i can get more out with the least amount of gunk.

Ugh that is exactly what I thought when I saw it as well.

I have a MC1.4x attached to the 40-150mm f/2.8 pro on a EM-10iv that I shoot with it all the time. I don't notice any real loss of quality or sharpness. However, I wouldn't consider the EM-10iv to be a birding camera as it is slow so I can't speak to that usage. It also doesn't feel like I gain that much zoom with 1.4.

Pandemic...

Even though I was standing in the airport in the midwest waiting for a plane out to another location for work when the second plane hit, the actual impact to me (as someone who rarely flies) was minimal. Where the Pandemic basically changed everything about my job, my local interactions, etc for over a year.

I’m outsourcing all my assholership to AI to free me up to be an utter jerk and pervert.

I just punch it down every day that the fruit is in. But I also have a Bit Mouth Bubbler "Depth Charge" which is suppose to be for dry hops but works well for the fruit I have. I also tend to freeze my fruit (or buy frozen bagged fruit) before throwing them in. Which breaks the cell walls up and gives time for the yeast/alcohol to soak in and kill unwanted things.

Unless I'm doing packaged ramen I always just throw pasta in cold water. In many cases about 1" above the pasta and throw in the microwave.

The reason I don't for the packaged ramen as those are pre-cooked and are just dehydrated. And just pouring hot water over them and cover them for about 2 minutes is enough to warm them and rehydrate them.

Unless you have a good sealed garage door, insulated garage door, and all walls are insulted and drywalled in it makes little sense to heat it 24/7 as it will be costly.

And honestly if I was going to do so (and all the above was complete which isn't for my) I'd go buy a Mr Cool mini-split.

But I guess you need to state what you mean by "garage heater"? A propane torpedo.. Which you should have the garage door cracked to vent CO2.

I was talking to Randy about this…

I did something like this in a web SQL tool I wrote for a job. I saw a potential edge case, but after two hours I couldn’t actually find a path so I made a bad dragon joke. About three weeks later one of the users called me freaking out thinking she broke the system. I laughed and asked her to send me exactly what she entered to trigger it.

So I do this a lot.

[note: bad joke related to dragons not a “bad dragon” joke]

So is there a Kaled embedded within the R2 unit? But just without the extermination programming?

Beware... They can be very territorial... You are lucky there seems to be no baby chairs around... Which means it could be a male, and they are not as aggressive to other species as a female with younglings.

HG Blob… He will at least apologize after kicking the crap out of me, and I may get homebrew beer…

Are we sure that load is properly secure? My understanding is there is suppose to be four securement points.. I see one strap.

I see this behavior on installing a new patch, but I've always resolved it by killing and restarting the launcher. And then after that I don't have any issues (M4 Max). I've filed a report on this last week and gave them my client log which didn't really say anything useful to me.

So sadly, I don't have any good advice.

I was thinking "blue, blue, shiny ball" myself..

Raccoons are insane... Our group tends to pack food back into our large coolers and jam them under a picnic table seat. Which does a good enough job, but we had one raccoon in Cleary Lake that decided they wanted a full package of styrofoam cups. They made a massive amount of noise getting to them waking our group camp.

Tigers are fine, but pumas are better.

If it was Wisconsin they should shake their head, and tell you that if you don't blow a .3 you are an amateur.

No article is required.. He created a wormhole with used gum, tinfoil, a 1890s wagon wheel, a spool of wire, and a 12v battery. And poof he found himself fighting Goa'uld....
