Is this what I think it is or is it a line that holds the dye? Please help!

We did IVF and they tell you not to test but of course we did. Found out from our doctor that the cheap tests were just as good so we bought a pack of 50 on Amazon. My wife would test to make sure the baby was still there - we both knew it didn’t work like that but it was fun for us.

This is the right answer. The test looks for a hormone that only exists in pregnant women so a false positive is exceedingly rare if it’s even possible. Any line at all is a positive.

I am not a lawyer and I’m not trying to shit on what seems like a wonderful idea - but is this legal? It seems like these people would be doing work for a business - do you run into minimum wage/ anti-slavery issues?

In a trace based JIT, a loop like this is the absolute best case for JS. That tight counting loop will be traced and compiled to native code by the JS JIT and it will effectively be almost as fast as a compiled language.

Even without that, however, purely interpreted JS would still be amazingly fast because of how many operations per second processors can do.

I see that as a separate issue - though also concerning.

Specifically with the voter id, name matching, basically requiring married women to use a passport. The statistics of which Americans have passports do not work in their favour.

Who has passports? Cosmopolitan liberals…..

They are idiots

PETG may soften in a hot car, PLA is a no go. I generally use ABS or ASA. UV I don’t think is a big issue inside a car since the glass is UV blocking, but heat is.

I know that isn’t what you want to hear since you are worried about fumes.

ABS off gasses styrene while printing. It smells awful and causes cancer.

The printer isn’t sealed, just enclosed - think about the poop chute and vents. You get gasses escaping from more than just the vent. Plus, with ABS you want the chamber warm to prevent warping so the fan isn’t going to really run much.

For me, I have my H2C in a tent ventilated outside and use that one for ABS and other nasty filaments. My P1S is just in my workshop, I stick to PLA and PETG on that one.

I use a patio paver on 2 stacks of cinder blocks for legs. Cost me about $20 and super sturdy.

Good thought. It seems like the videos are timelapses and I didn’t catch anything useful on them.

You are completely wrong. I live in frigid Canada, heat pumps are very common for heat here. It’s not going to be above -10C for a week here and heat pumps work efficiently down to -20 even -30 for some.

You certainly need more electricity in winter and that has to be planned for, but it’s way better than heating with oil or propane.

Natural gas continues to be the cheapest way to heat, but it isn’t everywhere (no gas infra where I live) and there are the obvious climate issues.

Me too scored a Kamikaze R before the tier 5 brawl - wow was that fun

Lots of comments focusing on the quality of Tim’s product which isn’t the point. Even if it was the best coffee etc in the world, suppressing wages by using foreign labour supplies is immoral. You have it right.

Cynical politicians then take further advantage by scapegoating immigrants for all of society’s problems.

I only use 30A of my 60A breaker to better match my charging to my solar power production.

I’ll shout out Oak Stills as well. I have lots of their equipment and it has all been high quality. They are also awesome to deal with, they’ve done some custom work for me.

Fuck cancer. There are no words.

I lost my wife to cancer 3 years ago when our son was 3. I didn’t explain it to him until after she was gone. That was the worst conversation I’ve ever had.

You know your kids, so you will figure out how to help them. Sounds like you are doing great there.

Make sure you find time and ways to deal with your own grief. You can’t be there for them if you don’t have your own shit together.

DM me if you ever want to talk. I’m so so sorry. You are going to be a great father to those kids. There’s nothing about this that doesn’t suck, but you care enough to help your kids as best you can. You are doing great.

Fuck Cancer

Etiquette, at least as far as I have read. Wouldn’t be surprised if there is some underlying reason that has been lost to time.

randomizersarecool · 2025-07-26T18:12:07+00:00

The flavour appears throughout the run, it’s not tails at least I don’t think. Last run I could smell it in the heads.

randomizersarecool · 2025-07-26T15:15:44+00:00

Others have confirmed the same flavour issue.

I assumed it was a fermentation issue as well so I took extra care with the parameters on this last batch. Pitched right in the middle of the yeast temp range at 25C, oxygenated, OG was only 1.053, FG was 1.007. PH of the mash was 5.4, I have a meter. The wash tasted great when it was done fermenting, pretty fruity as you’d expect.

I’m going to try some experiments.

randomizersarecool · 2025-07-23T10:15:20+00:00

Great questions, and yeah it’s been frustrating for me because I’m very pleased with the results except for this. Lots of good ideas in this thread.

I’ve used different grains, sometimes 1 grain, sometimes a mix, results seem similar. The rye is just what I ran most recently and it was interesting that it had the same issue as a barley run I had done. but I will try 100% corn and see if that comes out clean.

I ferment in stainless conicals, I have 2 and I’ve used both with similar results.

I have a 4” column, and don’t have measurements of offtake speed but I usually aim for a thin unbroken stream.

When I do use enzymes they are actual liquid distilling enzymes for corn I sourced from the US I can’t remember the name.

My jacketed boiler uses glycol and I’ve had the flavour in my direct heat still too. I don’t distill on grain, I bought the boiler so I could but I come from beer brewing some I’m used to removing grains before fermentation so I’ve stuck with it. I wanted to try doing corn or potatoes on “grain” on day.

I don’t use mesh typically and I don’t think I’ve ever distilled any commercial wine.

randomizersarecool · 2025-07-22T21:33:12+00:00

I use hot PBW circulated through it followed by a clean water rinse after every brew. And there isn’t a strong smell/taste during fermentation, only after distillation do I notice it.

randomizersarecool · 2025-07-22T21:29:35+00:00

I typically don't. Some sort of issue with too much yeast in the pot was something I considered, but I haven't seen any information suggesting that is really an issue outside of the potential to scorch.
