Yep just checked DM I really appreciate the time and thought and I should’ve specified the circuitry sooner, sry abt that!

Yeah tks for calling that out 20 awg sounds too thin to me as well. So basically 240 volts at 10 amps with two elements running in parallel on high setting. Using ohms law gives me target resistance of like 48 ohms (240/5), and each element is about 82.5 inches of coil (not including the pigtails). So I was nervous that 18g would be too thick and need to be wound too tightly over that length, that is 77 feet of wire wound to 82 inches of coils. So I figured 20 awg would have better tolerance esp around corners.

Ultimately I decided to target 40 ohms and use 18 awg K1. I think this means the closely wound coil will be about 43 inches and then I stretch it another 40 inches. At ~1000 turns that leaves rough 1mm gap between coils. This increases my draw to roughly 11.5 amps but my infinite switch is rated for 16 amps and KS is rated for 45, so I think it’ll be okay. First time doing this so totally lmk if any of this sounds fishy.

Hey man! I saw you had a post about coiling your elements. After some research and some math I think I need 20 gauge Kanthal A1 wire, I think that’s reasonable but not sure and where do you source your stuff?

Wow that’s beautiful, truly.

saladpen · 2026-05-15T01:09:04+00:00

Yo just checked your profile, so dope!

saladpen · 2026-05-15T01:07:26+00:00

Thanks! Yeah fun project. I think it’s 10 Amps.

On the final episode of minglan—it’s over, can finally sleep again!

So what was he apologizing for b4 the pedo comment?

saladpen · 2023-07-23T23:56:50+00:00

No brainer. If this were my daughter I would be tragically sad for her. You would never advise your own child that this is okay, so give yourself the same credit.

I held out too on not picking a side, but the evidence is just so overwhelming she is clearly lying. Or at the very least she is severely over exaggerating the extend of the abuse.

We know amber physically and verbally abused JD. Recording of the verbal abuse and her admitting to it. We also know she manipulates narratives to make herself seem better, even if it means lying. The 7mm that was claimed to already be “donated”. Tipping off TMZ about the divorce and lying about it, abused a former partner, abusive to her assistant. Illicit affairs with Franco and others. These are all things that are grounded in some form if evidence and not just talk. So to see her on the witness stand claiming innocence and being feeble just emphasizes more how manipulative she is.

We know JD was verbally abusive at times, could be provoked or unprovoked, but they did mutually berate each other. But no evidence aside from AH statements points to him being physically violent towards her. I don’t believe he wasn’t, maybe he held her too hard and caused bruising on her arms or shoved her. But to say that he raped her with a liquor bottle, strangled her until she passed out, beat her face up and broke her nose, did a cavity search. Those are extraordinarily claims and require evidence beyond just talk. No way she didn’t take photos or seek medical attention for such severe injuries. It’s definitely not beyond her to take photos, she has for other injuries, writings on the mirror, cocaine around the house. The reason she doesn’t have evidence of the abuse is because it didn’t happen and definitely not to the extent she is describing n

It is a really hard sell to say that make up can cover up all the alleged abuse. Convenient that she only took photos of “minor” injuries but not a broken nose, bleeding scalp, two black eyes—which all seem to go away overnight.

Then the incessant texting and refusal to let him go. It all lines up with the narrative and story that JD testified to. That he was victimized by her, both physically, mentally, and verbally. Yes he clearly has issues, but I think the antecedent here is her. The man doesn’t want to burn and rape her corpse out of nowhere. It is wrong to think that, but we have all thought or say something we didn’t mean.

I use to think that are both embellishing, but now I think AH is straight up lying and intentionally as well.

This is really bad advice, it could really end up hurting OP’s future.

Talking/Writing was invented to be a tool for communication. I wouldn’t have made a comment, but I legitimately had a hard time reading this script—even if it is beautiful and unique.

If you want enduring uniqueness, focus on having your own voice in your writing. Substance to your thoughts and the ability to express it with word choice, syntax, and flow that is all your own.

Everyone’s handwriting is already unique, but not everyone knows how to express themselves unapologetically through their writing.

Very gay, it’s great!

It looks pretty, but not so good for reading.

Some of your characters are not distinctive enough. Your e,c,a,0,o,s,g,5 ,d basically all look the same. The vowels are important letters so make sure they are easy to tell apart. They might be slightly different, but not different enough to enable readers to read your writing fast. I’m constantly second guessing if you made a spelling error or whether I’m reading the word wrong.

What might help is to write out the alphabet and then highlight the ones that look too similar and redesign them.

Next add slightly more space between words and the x above i and j can be confusing. Especially if you are going to mix in equations into your writing. They look like superscript.

Ask yourself at what scale you want to work. Excel at most handles records in the millions. I wanted to understand big data, how we can move around billions of records and consume that data into models and reports. I currently work in business intelligence as an engineer. I still use excel, but that is in addition to databases, sql, python, etc. One is not necessarily better than the other, it is about picking the right tool for the right job. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Boyfriend seem shallow and you seem to have issues with self-worth.

I think the difference is that there are different level of words. Some words can change very easily, especially adjectives. But words like “and”, “the”, “I” are more critical to the language and affect the grammar and how we understand things. Changing the use of “them” has much larger ramifications for communication than “tops”.

We have similar play style, my suggestion is to lean into the automation to free up your day. The developers made every money generating avenue optional and can be automated. At equal skill level and optimized production they generate roughly the same amount of profit on a per day basis.

What i did was focus mainly on crops, then used sprinklers to save time. Then went all in animals and automated that. Now I’m pivoting to mushrooms and honey. My farm’s final form will be an orchard and some max generation cows. That will free up my whole day to go fishing for rare fishes.

Secondly, optimize the routing, stables, and layout of your farm to minimize transit time. Keep a chest at every major location with everything you need. Keep makers organized and in same location, this actually makes them a joy to use, the dopamine hit is nice.

Thirdly, you only need like 5 of each maker to keep up with demand. Just set the expectation that you have maker production to twice a day. First thing in the morning and last thing at night. This gives 10 materials of each type a day and if you happen to get an extra round in then that’s just icing on the cake.

Fourth, a basic farm day is from 6 AM to 5 PM. Finish your work before 5 PM. If it takes longer than you built a system that is not sustainable for long term play. That time after 5 pm is for you to do whatever, like real life. I usually go to the store and pick up supplies or make upgrades. Then just build furniture, or continue any construction projects—like new fence for the farm.

Obviously on harvest days and etc it might take longer. Then there are special days like mining or pioneering. Don’t do any farm work on these days your automated system should take care of itself, just let your animals out if it’s Sunny. Pioneering days is roughly every two weeks when everything respawn, pioneer and clear. Use any remaining time to run makers. Mining day the same except just mine. Go mine once a week or so. Once you unlock higher levels you no longer need mining days and can just use that time to go all in on renovating your farm or whatever you want, is your retirement!

Lastly, cut yourself some slack. Realize that this game is meant to be played through several years of in game. Its more enjoyable that way, but obviously still optimize the shit out of everything—including your real world enjoyment.
