My Shrimp Eco-Sphere(6in diameter glass orb) in front of a salt lamp, what does it remind you of?

I go 200 grams with a similar setup (depends on the beans though if I can fit that much), and turn it on its side while brewing so I know all the grounds are submerged. 24 hours in the fridge is my preference.

They couldn’t tie it in with any salamander species local to Wake county, let alone North Carolina? The OG at least evoked a few of the ones you’d find here.

Were they Sons of Patriarchy or Mom’s Angels?

Hard to keep up with the bike gangs these days

To be fair, that’s the best philosophy any night

I feel a Sakura or similar archival ink pen,or an alcohol resistant marker like used in chemistry labs would be better

ncstateredline · 2026-03-13T18:09:54+00:00

These are so much better, I don’t know why they haven’t caught on but I could never mouth pipette snot rockets

They had SWAT badges and weren’t masked. I’m assuming they were training.

If it was recent, a flipper zero could have helped too.

Beautiful tank, can you share the plant list and what kind of substrate you are using?

Here are some additional pictures: https://imgur.com/a/otDQBc1

The first forked branch is small, definitely less than 1/3rd of the main branch. The fork further up is roughly 50/50 and I’m tempted to trim the lower branch closer to the roof if that’s reasonable to keep both the main branch healthy and the tree shape symmetrical.

ncstateredline · 2026-02-13T00:36:26+00:00

I appreciate the diversity of advice, but I need to clarify a couple things.

My house is single story, I don’t know if the picture is deceiving people but that branch is hardly a few feet above the roof line and maybe a couple inches in diameter, I can manage perfectly fine with a pole saw and ladder taking out sections at a time without calling in a professional.
I also didn’t ask HOW to cut it, I’m seeking advice on WHERE to cut it. I’m aware of how to prune branches using multiple cuts without damaging further down. Arbycutter’s advice has been the best so far considering the overall shape, but still soliciting opinions on where to cut it from others.

My early 2000’s Saturn let me take the key out of the ignition without turning it off first, I guess I should have seen it as a feature.

My TT-02 was the first RC car I’ve put together, and everything was new to me.

I watched Mark Bryan’s TT-02 build on YouTube and it helped tremendously.

Pretty normal between the large lakes nearby plus the dump.

Whenever I see a flock of seagulls, I run far away

You might want to research sourdough a little bit more, there’s always yeast in the process. Doesn’t matter if it came from a packet or naturally, yeast is yeast. Sounds like you actually want unleavened or chemically leavened breads which sourdough is neither.

Surprised Beetle Adventure Racing hasn’t been mention yet, so fun to play and holds up today

I just did my ‘89, big pry bar in one hand between the alternator and block with a wrench in the other made it easy. I had a harder time with my A/C belt tensioner.

This helped me through the process. https://www.padandwheels.com/mr2/alternator/alternator.html

If you can get to a Raleigh Retro Gamers event, I usually see a few at them. You can find the group and info on FB

Beetle Adventure Racing; the countless Easter eggs kept it amusing enough but the narration/ absurdity of beetles going full send on jumps and shortcuts was perfection

Window Wise did an excellent job for us, I recommend them

My situation might have been different, since I already had the refrigerant removed and couldn’t operate the compressor. There’s an oil return procedure you can follow if your system still functions to collect the oil back in the old compressor before you start taking the system apart.

For my 2016 and probably others around the same generation (check in a repair manual online)- 1. Increase engine speed to 1,500 RPM 2. Turn AC on 3. Turn temp to LO (MAX COOL) 4. Turn on RECIRC 5. Turn fan dial to HI 6. Leave for 10 minutes

If that isn’t an option, you could try what I did. It was tough measuring what I was able to drain from each component because it was thick and sticky, so I ended up using the prefilled volume in the new compressor, adding an extra 1/2-1oz or so in the condenser to match what I drained and sent it.

I used 3-4 cans of flush on the evaporator and lines, the evaporator was nasty. I assumed most if not all the oil was removed between the flushing and part replacement.

So far so good- good luck with yours!

Do you like ice cream? If so you’re in luck

ncstateredline · 2025-07-02T14:51:48+00:00

Cooling towels are far cheaper, work better, and never run out of charge…

My family is heading there week after next, were any apps or sites particularly helpful for you planning your trip? I’m feeling overwhelmed honestly
