“I invoke my 4th and 5th amendment rights” is a much better idea.

I thought that too for a while, but the shine has worn off of photochromics for me because all the ones I’ve owned have lasted grand total of about a year or in some cases less before they’ve worn out and no longer darken in the sun. The longest lasting chunk of the stuff I’ve ever managed to own was the visor on my motorcycle helmet, a Bell Qualifier DLX, but that also had the tradeoff of never actually getting dark enough to be useful so I had to wear normal sunglasses under it anyway which really rather defeats the purpose.

Instead when I’m feeling particularly cyberpunk these days I bust out my old pair of CTRL shades. They have their own inherent drawback though, in that even though I managed to score my pair free through my job at the time I’m still afraid to do anything heavy duty while wearing them lest I break the damn things. That’s because it’d cost me $300 for another pair.

And I’m sure we can also find some work for the snakes while we’re at it.

If you can trust people for anything, you can trust them not to have actually read all of the source material and certainly for taking the wrong conclusion away from it.

Incidentally, it works the same way with the bible.

This idea is ridiculous. It’s a complete fantasy that you can just release wolves as the panacea to everything. The real world is more complicated than that.

Some situations require having mountain lions released on them, or possibly bears.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Ian touch on any political topic other than those directly pertinent to whatever he has on the bench in front of him at that exact moment, and even then he’s been 100% factual without appearing to insert any type of opinion into it. It’s really rather astonishing how he manages to do that so consistently especially given the nature of, well, all of his peers.

They could be worse. They could be as bad as that twerp from Bikes and Beards.

All three of the main stars are literally youth pastors, and I’m sure in their private lives they’re indeed Very Christian but I can still respect how they aren’t in anyone’s faces about it in their videos in light of the above. I can handle the occasional offhanded reference to Big J if it means I get to see someone yeet a Frisbee into low Earth orbit, or whatever.

Get connected with helpful Lemmy nerds who can print your thing for you. Including, not at all coincidentally, yours truly. (Shill, shill, shill.)

Some tools do have specific pressure requirements. You can try running an HVLP paint sprayer at the full 120 but you’re really not going to have a good time doing it. Low pressure is right there in the name, come to think of it.

If you’re using a nail gun with smaller nails you’ll probably need to wind down your pressure, too. If you’re using little brad nails and give them the full Monty you might find that they don’t remain in the workpiece but have rather affixed it to your bench instead.

Allow me then to introduce you to Rock of Ages, an Atlus game (and its sequel) where this is the whole idea.

Sisyphus has had it exactly up to here with this shit, and realizes that he has at his disposal a large round rock and an even larger hill. Which by definition most of his enemies are located at the bottom of. Hilarity naturally ensues.

it decreases the load on the motor as it starts up.

Uh. How, though? The regulator is on the output end and has nothing whatsoever to do with how the motor and pistons put air into the tank. The compressor is going to pressurize its tank up to its pressure shutoff setpoint as fast as and indeed at the only speed it’s capable of running. If the pressure setpoint is even adjustable (it probably isn’t), diddling with that is only going to accomplish making your motor start and stop a bunch of times as you stairstep it up to whatever your maximum pressure is.

Big time commercial or industrial compressors rated for constant duty cycles may and sometimes do have variable speed motors, but I’ve never seen a consumer model with one.

It still is, but nobody cares anymore. At 16:9 1920x1080 is considered “Full High Definition,” and 3840x2160 (at minimum) is “Ultra High Definition,” at least in terms of their official marketing speak. The latter has mutated to include both 4K and 8K content somehow, apparently because the brainworms in the marketing department ran out of superlatives after “Ultra.”

I set the regulator on my compressor when I got it, and I haven’t had any occasion to touch it since. It’s set to 120 PSI, and it’s been somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty years.

Unless your compressor is either especially precise or especially crap I think you can safely ignore that whole song and dance. In the exceedingly rare instances I do need a lower pressure output I have a dinky little inline regulator I just attach to the bottom of whatever tool I’m using, which is inevitably a spray gun. The impact gun, air chisel, needle scaler, die grinders, drills, air chucks, strafer, and golf ball cannon get the whole enchilada all the time.

And the proof is that this is already how it is with every tax in America except income and property taxes. You’re taxed nickel and dime all the time and nobody notices. Sales tax is the most visible and it just is for most people, to the point they get confused when they go to one of the three (?) states that don’t have sales tax.

But you’re automatically taxed on gasoline, your phone and/or internet bill, glass and plastic bottles, sugary drinks, hotel rooms, cigarettes, and who knows what else because the process and indeed even the amount at which those goods and services are taxed are completely opaque to most people.

And here is someone who has absolutely at some point in history modified the source code to GORILLAS.BAS.

Luckily, it most certainly is not. Tesseract is a (probably now very defunct) third party client.

Which is in and of itself flammable. Truly, a puzzle just what the devil is going on here.

I wonder what that foil is made out of. I’m going to assume aluminum, and I’m going to further assume that whoever did it knows what they’re doing and I don’t. Because otherwise I can tell you that aluminum foil (and cans, and water bottles, and… other objects) will readily melt in an ordinary camp fire. I have to assume a forest fire will reach similar temperatures. Maybe it’s just to keep the embers off, or the fire is expected to sweep through too fast for it to be a problem.

For whatever it’s worth I use a stainless steel foil to wrap my knives when I heat treat them and that stuff readily handles the 1875° F or so temperature I do it at. Aluminum definitely would not cut it at those temperatures. Wrapping an entire cabin in that stuff would surely cost a fortune.

It doesn’t help either that the default web UI doesn’t actually clear off your notification bell even if you’re marked all replies as read until you force refresh the page. That’s kind of annoying.

Other interfaces like Alexandrite and I presume Photon do it a little better.

Or get sick of the avalanche of replies in their inbox, since you can’t turn off notifications for responses to a post or comment unlike on reddit. The only way to make it stop is to delete whatever it was.

Also I’m pretty sure by default if a user deletes their Lemmy account most clients also automatically delete all of their posts and comments. If a user gets fed up with us or decides the Fediverse is not for them, when they take their ball and go home that’s really what happens.
