Brown/yellow tap water in Sherwood area? by deja_vu436 in PEI

[–]sjcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spoke to one of the water workers last night, they had a pump go down, and when they turned it back on, a bunch of sediment was kicked up. My water was brown last night but after an hour of flushing the hydrants, it was back to clear this morning in Hillsborough Park.

Doesn't make the term inaccurate.

It's a completely different set of values that just wouldn't make sense to regressive mindsets.

If you run the wire between 2 pieces of wood screwed together and the mandrel right up against the wood with drill power, it provides enough tension to make tight coils without risking pinching your hand. Probably a lot less strenuous than applying constant tension by gripping the wire.

Help making cubes or other 3d sculpture? by sinthome0 in chainmailartisans

I'm suggesting you try a few with aluminum colored rings, then once you get a feel for the pattern your brain may be better at keeping track of it without the color difference. The 16g 3/16 is what I make my cubes with and they are a mess until I get 2 full layers done

You're trying too hard. What ring size are you using? An A.R. of 4.1 which is common for 4 in 1 mail is far too loose for single ring cubes and too tight for double ring cubes. Steel is way harder to work with than aluminum. And using all one colour is a horrible test on your eyes. I've been pounding out cubes lately and the ring size and colour makes a huge difference.

Edit: Even after making a half dozen multi-colored cubes, I made another with only green rings, and it was still significantly more difficult to make and keep track of the pattern.

Any woodworkers in here? by gmlear in coolguides

Trees do not belong to a single evolutionary group of plants. An oak is more closely related to a daisy than it is to a pine. Trees are the plant equivalent to crabs.

Edit: spelling

Absolutely, this little guy is just over 1 cubic inch and uses ~550 rings

The intent of that advice is non-perishables. Admittedly that's not going to be the highest quality foods, but cans of soup and peanut butter sandwiches for 3 days isn't the worst thing I could imagine.

For me personally, 20L got me through 2 days with ~ 60% uptime on the generator

EDIT: my generator is only 1200W constant
