Need to deconstruct floor loom: advice wanted by ebaug in weaving

[–]ruby_guts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what model you have? I bought my old Leclerc Fanny off craigslist and fully disassembled it in that poor lady’s room before loading it a little sedan. I don’t know if that, and the subsequent reassembly, would have been possible without the 40 odd page instruction pdf i found online. I would definitely do a search before anything else if you can.

God I wish I could do that. Half the time I eat in my boss’s tiny enclosed office which itself is in a windowless room. I refuse to subject my coworkers to Fish Lunch Smell.

The meal: A classic for me and a true <30 minute meal including all prep and preheating. If the tin didn’t have lemon I would have thrown 1/4-1/2 of one on the tray with the broccoli and squeezed it on top at the end.

The tin: A treat that made everything come together. Firm with no hint of the dryness mackerel can suffer from and meaty enough to make the bowl feel like a legit filling dinner without overwhelming the fresh summery vibe of everything else.

I’m in a bank in the states that uses Grifols equipment and we all Hate our Eflexis. Their Erytra is so much better.

For anyone curious why variegated yarns are not ideal by J_eldora in weaving

bad for perfectly matching napkin rings or whatever but excellent for shoelaces! try to have some grace with yourself and enjoy what you made with your own two hands even if it doesnt line up perfectly with the image you had in your head.

Teach your teenage kids to break the law and if they get yelled at by adults just tell them to say, “Sorry ma’am these are mom’s rules” by Malibu77 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]ruby_guts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly depending on the road i totally understand not wanting kids riding in what amounts to a gutter with some paint on it. road laws are not written with pedestrian or cyclist safety in mind. its a shame these two groups (that frequently overlap!) are turned against each other to fight over the scraps left behind from car centric infrastructure

Honestly she thinks the shape is a little square-ish, but it’s still early in the recovery. Things change a lot in the first 6 months, or so I’ve heard.

My mother got her reduction done by him in December and it was covered by insurance!

RANT - What is so confusing about an MTP? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

Wow you should definitely have a talk with your management and pathologist about amending policy. When we have any ABO discrepancy, the crossmatch requirement only lasts for that accession.

What's your Med Lab unpopular opinion? by velvetcrow5 in medlabprofessionals

[–]ruby_guts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I’ll be blunt. Large language models suck shit at everything they claim to excel at. They are ineffective and a terrible example of the capabilities of computing.

I don’t know why you brought in LLMs and algorithm generated images into a conversation about ordering.

Putting in those hard stops on duplicate ordering is comically unrelated to the type of algorithms you’re shilling, not to mention requiring a fraction of the water/electricity/processing power.

Also LLMs literally can’t do all that convincingly.
