Well, there IS a picture. On mobile, didn’t see it the first time. Yeah, with a single wheel mounted like that on an arm, that gate is definitely going to sag over like that. Maybe add another of those wheels on the opposite side so the support is balanced?

With a gate that long you may have to attach a support wheel on the bottom. You’ll always have sagging issues using wood. I tried doing a 4x8’ gate for the parking area where I put my camper. Would always sag over time, even with heavy hinges and steel cable on the diagonal. Land was sloped so couldn’t do a support wheel. Ended up having to do two 4’ gates either side instead.

I’m running Newpipe through Proton VPN, working as of today.

I bought a couple usgs maps of the local mountains about 8 years ago, but that was the last time. Used to buy the map book for Michigan every few years when I lived there. Had pretty detailed prints of all the roads, waterways, state lands, and even marked hiking trails. Great for finding streams for fishing and places to camp. But now printed maps seem hard to find. Local gas stations don’t have them, and I’ve noticed that rest stops on the highway don’t give them out anymore either. Used to hit rest stops in every state I drove through when traveling to get new ones for the glove box.

That’s where you plug in the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.

I came across this, had fun. Took the Dirty Arty route, started lobbing dynamite at them then ran in with the shotgun. Very entertaining, and even managed to not get Arthur killed in the process.

Our international partners began moderating the intelligence they would share while Trump was in office. They couldn’t trust him to not blab about state secrets during dinner parties just to try to impress people with how smart and important he was.

Used to have fun playing the RPG with friends back in the late 80s and early 90s. Always liked the background to the game, the blending of tech, magic, and fantasy realms. Looks like all 3 of those PC games are on Steam, have to put them on the wish list.

Found $500 that way last year. Windy afternoon, blew into the parking lot from the main road. My thought of “holy shit, cool!” was tempered by the next thought of “this is gonna suck for whoever dropped it”.

It has been popular. People were traveling out of country for joint replacements. Costs were less for travel, surgery, and recovery than what they would pay for it here. Covid put a damper on travel for a couple years, so not sure if it’s still as popular. I would consider it if/when I need knee replacements done. Considering what I’ve heard about the quality issues of joint replacements in the US, I don’t want one here.

There really should be better options, but it’s where this country is currently at, where some home chemistry is something people would have to consider. You’re right, it’s dangerous and certainly has a lot of risks. With some background in it myself and access to resources that the general public doesn’t have, I would still be hesitant to try something I’d cooked up in the basement at home. But, I’m also not at the point where I’m going to die from a treatable but unaffordable disease.

I’m a quality chemist. I test the API’s that process chemists make to be sure they’re right. Yeah, reactions don’t always proceed as intended. These guys do understand the risks, and are only trying to provide an option. Here in the US the insurance companies are perfectly willing to let us die because funding expensive treatment hurts their bottom line. Unless you’re independently wealthy, a small scale reactor at home may become the only option a person has available. Definitely risky, but why not take the chance when corporate America has determined you’re not valuable enough to save?

Had cystic acne most of my life. Got diagnosed with celiac’s disease, cut gluten out of my diet, and the acne pretty much stopped. Not saying that’s it’s the solution here, but my dermatologist had said years earlier that I likely had some other undiscovered, underlying issue. There are a lot of allergies and immune disorders that may be connected.

All the available bench space is crammed with reagents and instruments. Ceiling suspension is the only remaining option for workspace.

Congratulations! May the two of you be very happy.

I saw this at our local Aldi when I was there last weekend. If it were a GF crust, I would have tried it out.

I forgot about the boil in bag meals. Mom didn’t buy them too often, but we always had a stack of the frozen dinners around. A latchkey kid staple meal.

I ate a lot of those chicken dinners as a kid. On a floral plastic TV tray in front of the television. Usually with a glass of milk in a Tupperware cup (came as a set of four cups with red, yellow, blue, and green ones).
