You should write a book about it. You have a good, simple style thats easy to read, easy to understand. It would likely be cathartic to write and could help others.

TIL big box stores = steal cubes. Nice.

Having been a Linux user for nearly 10 years, it's surprising how frequently I'm surprised at the things systemd can do. That's not to say I have any idea what it should do.

 

Been strapping my work bag to my seat, taking the weight off and vastly improving my ride quality. I settled in an a variation of a diamond hitch (shown below) started with a fisherman's bend (ABOK 1723) and finished with a round turn and two half-hitches (ABOK 1720).

May try a buntline hitch instead of the fisherman's bend next time.

I'm interested in these "subsidized phones"...are those the ones they lease to you forever unless you buy out at the end of the 24 month term? The same ones for which you pay more overall than if you bought the phone outright to begin with? Not sure it's the consumer benefitting from those subsidies...

  1. Use a flashlight pointed parallel to the floor. The shadow cast by the screw will look bigger than the screw itself.

The "little meat things" look like mini corndogs, without sticks. Definitely not mini meatloafs, not like any fishstick I've encountered. Could be a hushpuppy I guess, but would be surprised if a dinner table in america in the 70s lacked some sort of animal based protein.

Don't forget, the Department of Justice will have put him there, so DJ put DJ DJ in DJ, now DJ DJ gets to DJ in DJ.

What a great record. A forgotten treasure.

That's not usually what is meant by proponents of the 4 day work week. Instead, they're usually referring to four 8-hour days.

I would agree. Skip the separate decarb and just let it steep for a while. Decarb and extraction in one fell swoop.

What's being submerged here? The sound source? The receiver? Are both under? or is one or the other out of the water?

Independence from the tyranny of commercial soaps.

Let's see how this goes. Water and raw honey, 4:1, hoping for a wild yeast mead. First time, so fingers crossed

Update! (sh.itjust.works)

Lavender bar soap unmolded and a week deep into its cure. Had some issues unmolding where the soap stuck in the corners, which is visible in the bottom right bar. Color is better now than it was out the gate, but still not quite what I had hoped for. All issues with this batch probably stem from the high proportion of Shea butter: crack after pouring into mold, sticking in the mold, bars feel a bit too soft. Proportion of butter was twice as high as it should been, but lesson learned. Will report back when it's ready for use!

 

First attempt at a ginger bug. Today is day 3 of fermentation, unsure what I'm going to soda-fy yet...maybe some apple cider? Still pretty cool.

New Stone (sh.itjust.works)
 

I know its nothing fancy, but it's a huge step up from the no-name, no-info stone I picked up from a restaurant supply shop years ago. I'll keep y'all posted on my adventures.

Also, where is everyone?

...and whipped up a few pounds of this lavender scented olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter behemoth. Color is a not exactly what I was after and I think the proportion of the shea butter was too high (hence the crack), but I'm hoping it'll still be a nice batch. Will update when I unmold and again after the cure.

 

I've made a few batches of soap in my nascent career, including three batches of bar soap based on this recipe from Soap Queen as well as three batches of this "Castile" soap. I'd love to branch out, try different recipes or experiment with different blends or ratios, just feeling reluctant to fix what isn't broken.

I'll be making a new batch of bar soap soon and will be sure to post updates of my progress. Let me know if you've got any sweet recipe selections or blends to try!
