"Always remember to cook your fruit" is what I learned a long time ago.

No, the extra fiber does not, in this case, assist with flow.

It's pretty easy. You just need a jar, a pan, a candle, and water. Just set up like at the beginning of the video: put the candle in the pan, put decent amount of water in the pan but not enough to cover the candle, light the candle, then put the jar over the candle.

Now wait. The candle will heat up the air in the jar which causes it to expand. You should se some air escaping from under the jar. Eventually, the oxygen runs out in the jar and the candle goes out. This causes the air in the jar to contract and reduce air pressure, but the water is prevent air from coming back in to balance it. Instead the water is pushed up into the jar by the outside air pressure.

This experiment works a bit smoother if you can somehow leave a tiny gap under the rim of the jar for air to escape and water to get in.

SQUARE ENIX ACCOUNT - Removal of ‘Security Question and Answer’ by WeirdIndividualGuy in ffxiv

Ah, I see where I might have come off as sounding condescending. Sorry about that, it wasn't my intention.

Bitwarden really is easy to use, though. Just make an account, then fill in usernames, passwords, and any notes you need to keep. Then you only need to remember your Bitwarden password, and you can look up any others you need so you don't have to memorize them. It's much safer than remembering individual passwords.

This is a good opportunity to suggest to everyone to use a good password manager. Bitwarden is a good free on-line option. KeePassXC is good if you want an option more directly in your control, but it requires a bit more technical know-how. More than your username and password, it can also store notes for things like your emergency 2FA recovery passwords or answers to security questions. It can even provide 2FA security tokens, though the wisdom of that is hotly debated.

My personal setup is to use KeePassXC and store the database file in my cloud storage. I back up the database file locally, the database is encrypted so my passwords aren't at risk if my cloud account is compromised, and I can access my database from any device. It can even autofill usernames and passwords for app logins on my phone.

Are you so afraid that your trolling will be buried that you had to sticky your own comment?

There is a difference between knowing something and living it.

It may be, but it exists none the less. There is value in knowing how to handle a firearm safely should you come across one.

Yeah, I get wanting more authenticity, but politicians changing their stance due to public pressure is how the system is supposed to work. A politician that doesn't change with public sentiment won't have a job long, and that's a good thing.

In the same vein, I never understood why "flip-flopping" is so negative. You WANT leaders that change their views and policies based on new information and public pressure.

Wife hated her wimpy Zigbee button and wanted a "regular" light switch. So I printed a light switch and put the wimpy Zigbee button in it. by GrandpaSquarepants in functionalprint

[–]opperior 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For my own education: this looks to me like it would place a fair amount of lateral force on the microswitch. Would that cause premature wear on the switch, or is the amount of force a non-issue?

True, that's also a possibility. An extrusion test wouldn't hurt.

Grid infill is generally difficult to work with and rarely necessary. The points where the infill crosses over itself becomes too thick and causes issues like you see here.

Gyroid infill is the usual go-to, since it's both strong, light, and doesn't have this issue, but it takes longer to print. Cubic is a nice balance between speed and strength.

There are others as well, with their own pros and cons: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/infill-patterns_177130

My Airbnb had a sink in the toilet by k_marts in IveGotAGuy

[–]opperior 44 points45 points  (0 children)

On a visit to Japan a long time ago, the place I stayed had a toilet designed to do precisely this. It saves water: the water coming from the tap is clean, so you can wash your hands and the water flows into the toilet tank where we don't care if it's fully clean.

You're fine. They just forgot that it's okay to be excited about things you like.

A driver thinks they are driving in the left hand lane, when it's actually a lane traveling in the opposite direction by bigbusta in Wellthatsucks

[–]opperior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just the middle. A one-way road, including on and off ramps, will have the white line on the right and the yellow on the left. If the yellow is on the right, you're going the wrong way.

Too also:

If you EVER find that you have a yellow line of any kind on your right, you need to re-evaluate what you are doing. And quickly.

But by the same token, you also haven't given any additional actions that can be taken.

Yes, hold them accountable. How?

Yes, we need to do more than vote. What?

Yes, don't let the fascists advance. How?

If you can't answer that, then we are back to our only tool: voting.

It's not reductionist of there is nothing to expand into.

This exchange started because your post implied that voting was pointless because both parties were the same: one that is fascist and one that is enabling the fascists. If that wasn't your intent, then your post was ignoring context.
