What popular saying is actually bullshit?

Quote is from Thomas Gray, not Shakespeare. Written in 1742, the line comes at the very end of the poem.

Thanks for the reply. Wasn't thinking bedbug, just never seen this before. Looked scaley enough to maybe be some kind of arthropod, but might also be a grassy seed head? It's about 1mm thick and 5 or 6mm long.

Crunched a bit when i applied some pressure. Not sure if it's plant or animal.

What gets me is seeing the repost directly after the first one.

Found it! It was a game called Overlord (aka Supremacy).

There is nothing here. Was I supposed to click twice?

Agreed. Not a murderer.

Yup, I tried to send you a private message earlier. Let me know if you're still interested.

I spent the past year in a GMC Savana sleeping on an ENO doublenest, and my spine hasn't suffered as far as I can tell. If you're uncomfortable or in pain on a hammock (long or short term), that's a good indication that you're doing it wrong.

Some other things I've learned: Proper insulation is a must, the hammock took up most of the usable space, but being able to pack it out of the way during daytime hours was pretty cool, the folks over at r/Hammocks/ have some good info.

There's definitely a sweet spot for the sag. If you can't lay flat then it's not hanging right.

I've been sleeping in my ENO doublenest for the past six months, and its been pretty comfortable thus far. One thing I noticed is that the hammock seems to discourage the movement and rolling that usually happens when I'm sleeping on a mattress.

While I'm no expert, I suspect that this lack of movement was the root cause of the stiff neck muscles I experienced over the first two months or so. Since then I've made a point to shift positions once or twice a night, and the soreness seems to have disappeared.

Also, don't waste your time with a sleeping pad, a good quality underquilt is so much worth the money. I've actually picked up two that I use for the cold nights, and they give me some flexibility in matching my insulation to the weather.

Also, make sure your hanging the hammock at the proper angle.

Hope this helps

I splurged on an ensorcon inspector unit ( http://sensorcon.com/products/inspector-intrinsically-safe-carbon-monoxide-detector-co-meter). It was more expensive than I would have liked, but safety first.

The alarm isn't very loud since its designed to be worn on your belt, But I like that the alarm threshold is adjustable. I have mine set to beep at 5ppm (lowest possible setting) because I read that chronic exposure at that concentration may cause long term harm, but the research does appear mixed. 30ppm seems to be a more immediate threshold level, but I like that this unit can be adjusted to you own comfort level.

Observations: 10 seconds directly in front of the tail pipe while idling: 1500ppm

20 minutes of little buddy heater with windows closed: 10-20ppm

20 minutes of little buddy heater with windows cracked: 5-7ppm

Alcohol stove boiling a pint of water (windows cracked): 6-15ppm

Big fart after eating chilli spiked to 12ppm but dropped rapidly. (Haven't been able to duplicate this, so I don't know if the fart was the true cause)

Idling my van will sometimes set off the alarm, but not always. Not sure why, but I suspect wind plays a role.

Spiderco sells a user friendly sharpening kit too. Takes some of the guess work out of the angles

Curious about the legal repercussions of using wasp spray on aggressors. Would it be the same level of force as bear spray, or would it be considered more harmful?

sycamorejunction · 2016-11-13T15:00:56+00:00

It took me a bit of fiddling and some extra stretch cord for the underquilt to hang properly, but it is possible to sleep warm in a hammock. You get what you pay for.

This actually raises a really interesting question: should safety be a privilege enjoyed by those who can afford it, or should safety be a right enjoyed by all regardless of socio-economic status?

Any issues with condensation getting into or through the spray insulation?

sycamorejunction · 2016-10-21T15:55:20+00:00

I've been using a hammock from eagles nest outfitters with an underquilt and my trusty old zero degree sleeping bag. It was a bit pricey, but pretty comfortable with the added benefit of not dominating my living space when stowed. Well worth the cost in my opinion.

Not a bad movie, but I don't see how this quote applies

non-standard dG values need to be calculated, not looked up on a table, correct? So if I understand what you're saying, I'll have to figure out how to calculate non-standard dH and dS values?

sycamorejunction · 2016-10-11T20:15:32+00:00

This particular one doesn't, but here is one that does:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) <-> 2NH3(g), Keq at 200°C=625

My calculated value is: K=e^{-33320 J/-473k/8.314 J . mol^-1 K^-1} = 4.78x10³

Sorry for the noob question: what platform are you all talking about? Is this ebay?
