That’s a good question, Rotting Cum. The only crimes I’m planning on right now are saving some money doing diy maintenance on the family car while finding an interesting little project for myself.

Oh man, how do I account for anti-seize lube?

Thank you, I hadn’t considered that style. All the YouTube videos use the mechanical click type, but you’ve got me thinking that the simpler beam style might be better for my situation.

I’m running a Pixelfed instance off of an old PC in my house. Eventually I 'd like to set up a personal Lemmy instance as well.

Venus flytraps are great plants to keep, but they’re not effective for pest control, especially against tiny gnats. The gnats you have are probably fungus gnats and your houseplants’ soil is infested with their larvae. To get them under control you have to innoculate the soil with nematodes that eat the larvae. The particular brand I got on Amazon aren’t available anymore, but the species was s. feltiae and they worked really well. There might be other good or better nematodes, but that’s how you get rid of the gnats.

Where? I’m not a fan of her, but Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax proposal is just a way to capture some more revenue (to do the things I mentioned) on a more progressive basis. There aren’t really any claims here about fixing inequality.

Take another shower. Taxes aren’t used to fix inequality. They’re used to fund infrastructure and services that we all need. They’re also used sometimes to redistribute income, but the idea isn’t to solve inequality. The idea is to get some income, in one form or another, to people who cannot or should not work, like the sick, children, the elderly, and anyone else excluded from the workforce. This non-working population needs income as much as the working population does and it doesn’t make sense to force them to get it in inefficient and harmful ways. Taxation to solve inequality is a myth that isn’t happening.

This is great!

The only spiders I kill are the yellow sac spiders because they will bite you in your sleep and cause a nasty infection. It happened to me once.

Wow that’s beautiful!

What I’m getting at is that designing a pressure vessel to go down to a specific depth, even repeatedly, seems like a solved problem. The fact that it imploded seems more like negligent homicide/suicide than an accident.

All is well, apparently.

It’s probably just my machine showing its age.

I use Jellyfin and Finamp. When it works it’s great, but it seems to always crap out after half an hour or so of streaming.

Hi dad, I’m dad, u/engineer on Reddit. Last night my 4 year old daughter called me a “porcine wonder”. She learned that from a book.
