WantsToPetYourKitty,

I work in the plastics industry. TiO2 is definitely our pigment of choice for white colorant

WantsToPetYourKitty,

Random thought but why do the provided links never work in Memmy? They don’t redirect.

WantsToPetYourKitty,

From Tesla’s owners manual, referenced in the article:

Immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, tree resin, dead insects…

I find it really funny that the folks at Tesla consider grease to be “corrosive”.

Ram trucks also are the #1 vehicle for DUIs in the US.

So there’s no way for Linux cups drivers to run these printers. Another reason to pass on them!

WantsToPetYourKitty,

That sucks. The controller that came with my Xbox S randomly developed stick drift so bad it was trashed. I got maybe 10 hours of use out of it.

I bought a third party controller with digital stick encoders to prevent the problem because Microsoft refuses to fix their controller design.

Oh well guess I’m disabling console updates now

Berkeley Lab to lead US hunt for element 120 after breakdown of collaboration with Russia (www.chemistryworld.com)

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is setting its sights on creating element 120 as part of a new US effort to discover the first elements in row eight of the periodic table. The move follows the breakdown of the US–Russian partnership, which had previously discovered the five heaviest elements, following the Russian...

WantsToPetYourKitty,

I imagine these are elements that are so short-lived they decay into known daughter particles in fractions of a second

Good point on the rafter tail. I’ll look in the attic in that area to confirm.

Yeah there’s flashing above there and it’s possible this is the source of the leak.

I’m afraid what I’m going to have to do is take all the siding off above here to expose the flashing and inspect it and repair. Then to remove and fix the rot I’m gonna have to take everything apart to get into that area behind the soffit - remove the gutter, fascia, etc to gain proper access

WantsToPetYourKitty,

No diverter is present there at all. There’s a bunch of things going on here that could be causing this problem and I think it would be best to address all of them at once:

  • No diverter
  • No drip edge present along gutter, and I’ve seen water drip from soffit vents. It’s possible water is coming into the damaged area from where the soffit meets the wall
  • Vinyl siding was installed over original wood composite. It’s questionable whether the step flashing is effective given the setup
  • Gutter potentially too small - I have to clean it out like 6 times a year even with gutter guards over most of it
WantsToPetYourKitty,

You were correct. It was indeed an improperly done piece of kick flashing at the very bottom near the gutter

WantsToPetYourKitty,

Wow this is nuts! Had no idea this was a tactic in WWII. Thanks for sharing and for the context

WantsToPetYourKitty,

Interesting! Is this the only one in Wyoming or are there other geological features like this with a similar origin?

WantsToPetYourKitty,

I noticed that too and I dumped Chrome for FF on every machine I use as soon as I read about this

WantsToPetYourKitty,

Why not? Is this not an appropriate place to park?

Cleaned up someone else's mess (details in post) (i.imgur.com)

The chain sprocket here is supposed to rotate the keyed shaft below. At some point the 1/4" sq key came out. Instead of replacing the key, someone decided to try to just tighten the tiny set screw in the sprocket until it bottomed out on the keyway floor. It didn’t end well and the keyway got trashed....

This is an industrial winding / reeling machine. Used for reeling up product made using a continuous extrusion process. 30,000ft of product fit on a single reel. https://i.imgur.com/nHlEFDH.jpg

It’s the blue machine on the right with the 8020 clear guards on it
