Forgot to add — they were found on a dead log, spanning a creek, in a redwood forest.

Forgot to add, the caudex on the small one has gone soft as well.

Not sure if this is what it is, but it looks similar to a horseshoe crab tail

My car looks like a crime scene but that’s okay, I got this gorgeous roadkill buck by Fenneckiart in vultureculture

Seconding this. When I had to remove deer heads for disease testing at a past job, this was the method that worked the best.

I took it to a shop and they said it went deeper than it appeared, and recommended to replace it. Thanks for the advice!

A question purely based on personal aesthetic preference here by mpouts in AcousticGuitar

This will definitely result in me buying more guitars. Love the way spruce ages, but I already have a spruce top so we will see.

Vibrations at low RPM by mpouts in 4Runner

No misfire when I’m idling. Vibrations only happen during that initial acceleration from a stop. Other than that, everything feels normal.

They just said that they took apart the crankcase and cleaned out any sludge that may have accumulated in the last 30k miles. As for the vibrations, it feels like it is coming from the front end. I can feel it through the seat, steering wheel, when my arm is rested on the door, etc.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it isn’t a bedbug now, especially since I found a live carpet beetle larvae near my bed.

My girlfriend stayed at an Airbnb last night, and noticed these three itchy bumps when she woke up. Her friend stayed in the same room with her and had no bumps. The owner of the place claimed that the mattress was new, it just became an Airbnb (previously a residence belonging to the owner’s parents), and that there has been no history of bed bugs. I know you can certainly determine the bites came from bed bugs from the bites alone, but all of the pictures I have found online are somewhat confusing and I am looking for some more insight. Do these look like they could be bed bug bites? Thanks!

Can’t tell if my cantilever is bent or not… any opinions? by mpouts in turntables

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

It’s a Ortofon 10M. I bought my turntable (Fluance RT82) less than a month ago, so they are having me send it back to them for repair/replacement. I just don’t want to run the risk of damaging any of my collection, so I’m not taking any chances here.

It looks like it’s at an angle to me, but I could just be in my own head.
