Did some searching, apparently it can be variable in taste due to sea urchin diet, freshness, and preparation. There are commercially prepared pastes that aren't very palatable.

The urchin I had was really expensive and was a special that was rarely available. This sushi place had very good stuff, you could also order freshly grated wasabi from imported Japanese roots (I totally recommend).

Probably similar to canned crab vs fresh crab. Stuff in the can is terrible and I don't know how people eat it.

That's a party!

Whos the artist? It's better than a Chick tract.

Strange. I've only been able to have it once. I found it to be buttery, with a mild taste, about as fishy as salmon. I really enjoyed it.

That's a fun rabbit hole.

He's an incredible author, I'd put him up there with Alastair Reynolds. I just can't handle it.

Correct! Insects have spiracles that basically passively exchange air. Max size is basically determined by this.

IIRC, some caterpillars only stop growing and pupate when they run out of a growth hormone.

I always wondered what would happen if you grew them in a high oxygen tank and supplemented their diet with the hormone.

Maybe get a Mothman that way.

Yeah, it's disgusting. What's arguably worse is that all this has been known for like a decade. There's all kinds of sound and fury about it now. I figure it's media manipulation by the really rich fucks as warning shot across chump's bow to tell him to quit fucking up the economy and stay in his lane. Soon this fury will decline, even here on Lemmy, and he'll go back to fucking kids or putting them in concentration camps or whatever as long as he quits fucking around with tariffs and global trade.

The midpoint to the end of Evolution, humans basically devolve and ultimately go extinct.

It's been awhile since I've read anything by him as well.

I remember another book where artifically created people inside a dwarf star were dying due to solar harvesting, IIRC. I remember it being depressing but fascinating. Don't remember how it ends.

The eldertubbies gonna be pissed when they find out one of their children is being used to sell shitty coffee...

On October 25, 2016, allegations were made by two men stating that Trump had attended and partaken in sex parties filled with underage minor females as young as 15 years old who were induced with promises of career advancement.[174] Illegal drugs were also alleged to have been provided to the minors.[175]

Wikipedia

There's another story about Epstein poaching an underage massage parlor worker from chump that pissed him off. Haven't looked for a source.

Looks like the party line will eventually be that girls that have gone through puberty are really women and that makes it okay. It's pretty disgusting, I'm waiting for them to start making a distinction between pedophilla and hebephillia.

Like a technical distinction where Fox News brings on a tame doctor that explains that it's normal for older men to fuck/rape 14-15 year old girls.

I respect the hell out of Baxter, he's a hard sci-fi artist. However, he's so unrelentingly bleak I had to quit reading his stuff.

Trying to get a better understanding on the whole tankie thing, found this study that seems unbiased. It looks at their online behavior. I would appreciate others review of the study, even if just bullshit or facts.

Jeebus these people are exhausting, they also spray so much disinformation. They remind me of MAGAts.

I don't yet have a feel for the dynamics like I do with MAGAts. How much of it is organized with handlers and such vs. organic true believers?

 

Been getting slow loads and timeouts all morning. Figure it will probably resolve on its own. Didn't see any reports. Running Jerboa 0.0.77-gplay.

 

My son is about ready for his first printer. His school is running Cetus MK3 printers, he has a class using them, and his teacher has recommended this printer. He also has an educational seat of Fusion 360.

I'm proficient with Mastercam and hand written/modified G-code. I can help him with CAD no problem. Alignment, assembly, adjustment, and backlash are second nature for me. Have a little better than layman's understanding of printers. (Lusted over the Markforged printer that could do continuous carbon fiber.)

Eventually, will be building my own shop and hope my son might work with me. Hope to include printing, especially in metal.

I've seen some of the flap about Bambu and them closing up the software tool chain. I would like to avoid that sort of thing, for now, openness is better.

Top of my budget is around $500, with $200 probably being better.

Usable prints for tooling/spacers/repairs would be a bonus as would being able to print UV resistant plastic.

My goal for him is to get gud at modelling and get a feel for computer controlled movement. Another goal, harder to describe, is him finding the joy in mechanical tinkering and producing an idea made physical.

Thank you much! What do?

 

Any of y'all got a tracker that is following which portions of Project 2025 have actually been enacted? Something like the chump lawsuit tracking? Not finding anything with a search.

 

Does anyone know about Syrian Latakia tobacco?

It's a major component in English and Balkan style pipe tobacco. It has been replaced by the inferior Cyprian Latakia tobacco.

 

I have added a wifi repeater to the outside of my home so that my wife can watch her critter cams. It is a POE device that runs all the way back to my router.

Would like to install this surge protector but I'm getting conflicting information on grounding it. My installation is to the side of my house, not a metal pole.

Lowest effort options first, I can:

A. Place the protector inside near where the CAT5 enters the basement. Ground to a junction box that I installed that is grounded to the house panel and rod.

B. Ground internally to a water pipe or externally to the outdoor spigot.

C. Drive a ground rod where the cable exits the house and ground to it.

D. Repeat C and also bond to to the pre-existing home ground rod. (Least preferable option, rods would be on opposite corners of house.)

 

They hate each other so much.

 

Just looking up some DIY medical procedures and then the unwanted AI goes off the rails.

 

Found this broken piece in the creek bank. Southwest Pennsylvania. Farmhouse was built in 1922. Coalmining country.

Would have been about 18" in diameter. There is a rough coating in the glaze on the inside and outside of the bowl section. Abrasive enough that I figure it served a mechanical purpose. There are three grooves on the rim that aren't symmetrical to each other.

There might be a makers mark in the center of the glaze inside but I can't make it out. There is also a light blue/green stain on the bottom that might be a mark.

Any ideas?

 

Celeb_pics appears to be some bot posting from whoischic.com. Cluttters up /all.

 

The electric PTO clutch on my 1969 mini tractor is dead and discontinued.

Original winding is aluminum 18 gauge. Manufacturer specs were 2.88ohms, 237 turns. The manufacturer specs didn't quite physically match what I found when I took apart the old clutch. If I understand this correctly, the 2.88ohms is the most important part and will pull 4.17 amps.

I just attempted a coil with 18 gauge copper magnet wire. I made it to the max dimensions I can get in the housing with a scramble wind. I'm getting 1.2 ohms, which would pull 10 amps or so. Not good.

Was able to get 187 feet given the resistance.

If I go with 20 gauge copper, assuming I can get 235 feet (1.26 * 187) and I should get 2.319 ohms. Probably get a little more than 235 feet and get the resistance up a little more.

What does this do to the strength of the magnetic field?

Would I be better off putting a power resistor in series with my 18 gauge coil?

Any advice greatly appreciated!
