I have been recording samples for my own music recently and have found your statement to be quite true. (Almost any sound can be used as an instrument, actually.) Rhythm is everywhere and you just need to listen for it.

It’s actually a good change, IMHO. You can just click directly on page 10 for anything that might be related to your original search.

Quick addendum: Cheap digital hygrometers from Amazon can be off by as much as 10% or more and are kinda pointless, poorly designed and a waste of batteries.

Simply using some color changing desiccant will save you a few bucks. (It’s something I use here in Colorado for my jars of… “entertainment products”… that is legal here, in addition to my filaments.)

There is desiccant available that is formulated to hold specific humidity levels but filament is better served by pure silica gel.

To be fair, some of their contests are not thought out very well and usually don’t have enough constraints defined. (It’s kinda pissed me off before too.)

I started to design one myself but realized it was a bad idea. For starters, and effective design wouldn’t use much plastic: Bamboo or other kinds of material used for the tubes already stack together really well and it is much easier to stack them in a box glued together or use thin wire to bind them. Any additional design components translates to waste, IMHO.

And like you said, the plastic is bad to keep outside. If it wasn’t for the moisture, direct sunlight would deform most common materials.

Oops. I read the title as “menthol”, not methanol, so this article really confused me at first.

Still, I found a paper on death by menthol that was an interesting read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830155/ (Who knew there were hidden dangers in peppermint factories?)

North Korea isn’t that big. We could convert it to a parking lot in a month or two.

Thanks for tracking that down, detective!

Can anyone source this? The closest match I found was a storyboard artist (Josh Shepherd) that has done a lot of dogs. The exact source is elusive.

There is a large collection of poorly written articles/blogs on LinkedIn, actually. They are just bad enough to be good enough for Google.

Strangely enough, LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft. If Microsoft actually let Google use it as a data source, it was to sabotage Google’s AI training.

Add more garlic and you’ll be fine.

I used to go there for school trips as a kid. It was always fun and not nearly as expensive as Disney was. Personally, I wouldn’t compare it to Disney as it’s just a completely different class of theme park and it was awesome in its own ways.

I guess the major caveat is that I haven’t been there in over 20 years, but I seriously doubt the vibe has changed too much.

I kinda always knew it as rough sex.

Only if the pandas are painted yellow and with name tags that say “hunny”. (It needs to be an animal safe paint which is probably far separated from their typical comfort zone.)

At 500yds with an AR, shooting in the general direction at a wide area is all you are doing anyway, bump stock or not. With a single shot, you might get the expected 1.5-2 MOA if you are exceptionally good. (That is a ~10 inch circle at 500yds.) Multiple shots? Maybe 50ft^2 area after the second and then rest are probably double that. The problem is recoil. While a proper stock helps, it’s not a magical solution for accuracy regardless of how the rifle is mounted. Even .223/5.56 is going to have recoil, especially during rapid fire.

For me to get a consistent .25 MOA with my 25lb benchrest rifle takes a fuck ton of practice, lots of time between shots and self-loaded, custom and expensive cartridges that are tuned specifically for my barrel. (That would translate to accuracy of 1.25in at 500 yards.)

Look. I didn’t want to get into this mess in this thread, but your perception of how these things work is inaccurate. I am not getting all hurr-durr-'murica-2A here as that is not the point and not my cup of tea anyway.

If you are going to discuss these things, at least do it with the correct information.

I think you missed the point of the thread in your excitement. We are saying a bump stock is not even a requirement.

Yep. My brother had an AK with a super light trigger that I could bump fire, but it wasn’t easy and still was a complete waste.

This was an old feature, before it could be disabled.

So, if my wife was in my contact list first and I was in hers, she would get notified when someone was added to mine.

It was something like, “X has joined Signal on Y’s phone!!” or some bullshit like that.

I wish I had a bump stock when going against packs of feral hogs, actually. Bolt actions are pointless and normal semi-autos just barely cut it, for this particular use case.

There is no love in my heart for those creatures. They destroy and/or eat anything they touch.

That’s not how it works. The trigger still resets after each shot with a bump stock, even if your finger doesn’t move. The entire gun does, which allows the reset. While bump stocks make rapid fire easier, it still takes a bit of practice to get it to work. Still, by definition, it’s not an automatic weapon.

While everyone here is allowed their own opinions on gun control, defining how a weapon works in a legal context is extremely important. The terminology needs to be very exact and definitions need to be consistent. The reason for this is because everyone has their own opinions and points of view. Those opinions need to be normalized somehow.

This comment is just about how the legal system works in general.
