This made me so happy. I'm just going to eat lunch then I'm going to spend the rest of the day in the garden doing plant chores.

It's a rock - I'm not certain of the type. I took it while at Pink Lake.

Yes, that's my point. And cyclists should take the whole lane if that's safest.

I didn't learn how to drive until I was 30, and I didn't get a car until 36. In addition to public transit, I was a bike commuter ~9 months of the year. I think this gave me a much better appreciation for what my fellow road users face.

I don't think 1 m is really enough passing space in most conditions and I'll fully switch lanes most of the time. One of us is in a big metal inertia cage and the other is not.

Oh thank god, cyclists that bike too close to the edge make me nervous AF - I'm always afraid they will meet an obstacle they are not expecting and swerve last minute.

Building a removable kiln vent outlet

Jump

Arcanepotato @crazypeople.online 3mo ago

This is not accurate. I wasn't going to comment except that it is the top reply and I don't want misinformation to be spread if someone comes across this later.

The vent kit, including the hose, comes from the kiln manufacturer and is designed for this specific kiln which is intended for domestic use. I linked the kit in my post.

The vent takes in room air in addition to the kiln air and the temperature of the discharge is less than 160 F, or 71 C.

And yes, my homeowner's insurance is aware of the kiln.

This is good advice, thank you doctor.

The comment about the electrical wires was maybe a bit silly and emotional lol. The temperature is controlled by the number of holes drilled in the kiln, so if I follow the instructions I believe it will be reasonable.

The vent kit does come with the actual exterior part, like a drier vent:

I will probably swap the rain hood for one designed for a drier, as those typically come with back draft dampers and metal caging. I'm not too worried about animals getting in when the fan is on, but I'm not really basing that on anything.

The install instructions do have recommendations on when to switch to PVC pipe from the flexible duct, so I will be sure to follow those.

Thanks!

When the bra comes off, the day is done.

It takes at least 12 hours for me to recover from bra wearing. It's not going back on before that.

TIL these are called container ships because they... ship.. containers

Jump

Arcanepotato @crazypeople.online 3mo ago

And the containers themselves are called shipping containers.

So container ships ship shipping containers.

Part of me is hesitant to write this out because I worry some jackass us fed will use it to harass people doing important work, but here goes. Look out for groups:

organizing mutual aid
community libraries, especially those providing a safe space for queer and trans folk
people doing street medicine, working with the unhoused
prison abolition groups, folks doing prison support
community gardens
folks working with migrant workers

Anywhere people are supporting each other outside of official programs and with nothing material to gain you will find anarchists among other flavors of leftists.

My view is that the train autists are laying in wait to be unleashed when the rizz autists convince someone to fund the trains.

I do think it's a disability but I would say the vast majority of ways it disables me would be eliminated if I didn't have to survive in this capitalist hellscape.

I get frustrated by my processing speed but maybe that wouldn't be frustrating if my free time wasn't so limited and I could just float from one task to another like the mischievous spectre I was meant to be.
