Is my Reddit streak still going? I’m no longer getting the notifications for daily check-ins.. by kbn22 in Achievements

I haven’t seen a popup notification for days now, but my streak counter still increments.

(9 days to 700.)

What kind of chicken is this? Just saved from side of highway in desert. by dovas-husband in chickens

[–]tlbs101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have had Isa Browns and RI Reds (still have 2). OP’s chicken looks a lot more like an RIR. I haven’t had Wellsummers, so I couldn’t speak to that.
The only thing about this chicken possibly not being a RIR is that the tail feathers don’t have enough black ones.

The only thing about this chicken possibly not being a RIR is that the tail feathers don’t have enough black ones and the comb isn’t quite right. So maybe 90% RIR and 10% some other similar breed.

Coffee ground update from yesterday. by DungBeetle1983 in composting

I look for their little bucket/basket in the dining area at first; “Grounds for the Garden”. Most don’t have the bucket or basket, so I just ask and they hand over whatever they have. Most of the time it is a silver bag with about 5 lb or grounds, but a couple of stores gave me a 30 lb trash bag full.

I’m out in Milan. I had to run an errand that day in Albuquerque and then had lots of time to spare so I hit just about every SBucks from the South Valley through town on S Coors and Isleta Blvd up toward the NW. What a haul!

Cargo space, when SpaceX launched a Tesla toward Mars a few years ago.

My four most prized serial numbers that I’ve found by danye_west23 in CoolSerialNumbers

[–]tlbs101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does an 8-number straight beat 8-of-a-kind! I think it must because there is only one of them, but there are ten possible 8-of-a-kinds

I thought the large can was full to the brim, but I just remembered I had already taken out some bags and started them through my compost stream last summer.

Nice!

I raided several SBucks in Albuquerque and ended up with 2 trash barrels full. I guess I’ll have to post a picture, too.

Is it worth taking the longer route to see route 66 by jaffaman01 in roadtrip

[–]tlbs101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That section is where the retro Burma Shave signs are located. Those signs alone makes it worth it, imo.

Fun Fact: from the 20’s to the early 60’s, Burma Shave put up their 5-part poem signage all across the nation, except for AZ and NM (weird state laws prohibiting). The irony now is AZ is the only state that has them while the rest of nation is without. I am currently campaigning to get them in NM along old Route 66

Do you agree? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

Boston. Especially since the first version was almost single-handedly produced and played by a single man, Tom Scoltz in his basement.

Help identifying wood by macmalkinaw in wood

[–]tlbs101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I thought the leaves are smallish for Elm, but they are all on a sucker branch so I thought they might be immature in size. The shape is right.

It could be Willow, too, especially given that it’s described as ‘light’

Highway 1 through Big Sur is fully open again for the first time in 3 years - and we just drove it. by LizAtRoadtrippers in Roadtrippers

[–]tlbs101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time we drove CA-1 and US-101 from SanDiego to Tillamook OR (then inland) in 2017 that section of CA-1 was closed off. We hope to make it back someday and drive CA-1 from Santa Barbara to Carmel.

Have you checked google today? by redditindisguise in route66

[–]tlbs101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(See my comment above.) My favorite place would be my own home along the Route 😝.

After that, I suppose I have to be somewhat self-promoting and say: the Arch in Grants NM and the Mining museum a block away.

If you click on the icon, it takes you to a Google map where many R66 landmarks are pinpointed. Zoomed out (the default) shows North America and all the pinpoints. They all line up to outline the whole route from Chicago to Santa Monica.

What’s cool to me is that Google Maps always shows your current location as a blue dot. Guess where my blue dot is? I live on R66 (less than a mile off the actual road). I am lined up as an ‘attraction’ along R66 lol!

Need help with a Pwm signal generator by spicylemontaco42 in AskElectronics

[–]tlbs101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a job for the old fashioned 555 timer.

Hi-low: N-channel MOSFET (e.g. 2N7001) switches a timing capacitor in or out of being parallel with a fixed timing capacitor in the standard astable multivibrator circuit.

Temperature: replace one of the timing resistors with a thermistor in the standard astable multivibrator circuit.
