Over 50% of those who voted. ~30℅ of the electorate, less than 25% of citizens. Don't give him more than he's earned.
What do the campaign expenditures of Kamala Harris have to do with how much Elon Musk paid as what boils down to a bribe to Trump?
Yes! Ian's secure shoelace knot is my go-to. Great site.
With regard to the tendency to tie a granny knot, I'm not even sure its from people using the same motion...once you advance past "two bunny ears" to the "swoop and push" it's hard to tell what exactly is going on, which side is over which. I knew how to tie a proper square knot well before I realized I wasn't tying a square knot in my laces. I just had to sit down and pay attention to figure it out which is a lot more thought than most people want to put into tying their shoes.
I found this white paper very interesting when I ran across it years ago; YMMV.
I struggled to keep my shoes tied for as long as I can remember. I'd wind up having to double knot em, then I'd be too impatient to untie them, now I've got slip-ons...OK, but (k)not ideal. I came across this paper and, looking down, realized I had been doing it wrong. Just pay attention to how your knot sits. If it tends to lie horizontally (parallel to the floor) you're good to go. If it sits vertically (perpendicular to the floor) you've tied a granny knot and whipping and inertia will pull it loose all the time.
The fix is simple: change nothing about how you tie your shoes EXCEPT switch which lace is on top when you make the first half knot.
I was doing left over right, switched it to right over left. Loop up the right, floop the left over the top. Granny knot transforms in beautiful strong reef knot. Glorious. It felt unnatural at first, but after two weeks it was as easy and simple as could be.
(K)not too long afterwards I discovered a modified shoelace knot that upped my game even further. I'll share that in another post.
This time I opted for a buntline hitch (left side, ABOK 1209), diamond hitch over the top, and a round turn and two half hitches (left side, ABOK 1720) to finish it off. I also used a clove hitch (not pictured, ABOK 1245) on the opposite side to secure the first half of the diamond hitch, but it was unnecessary and only made it more time consuming to untie the whole thing. I will not use the buntline hitch again either; while it seemed very secure, it was much more difficult to untie than other knots I've used.
I secured the loose line after the final knot with a chain sinnet (see below, ABOK 2868) to avoid any mishaps on the ride home.
Yes. This worked for me as well. Smoked a pack or more a day for 14 years, within a year I just put the vape down. 10 year anniversary of last cig coming up!
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...
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.
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?
Sure.
I'm going to take a guess at the observations that have lead to your questions.
Above water sounds are muffled when one is underwater. This is due to an impedance mismatch between two mediums, air and water. When airborne sound encounters the surface of the water, only a small fraction of that sound continues to travel through the water, the rest is reflected off the water's surface.
Similarly, our ears and vocal cords have evolved to be efficient transducers above water, but not when submerged. On the other hand, whales have evolved very efficient underwater transducers and can communicate with other whales over 100s, maybe 1000s of miles/kilometers. They typically communicate at low frequencies since attenuation increases with increasing frequency. This is similar to what happens in air, like when comparing thunder from a distant lightning strike to a strike that happens nearby: the distant strike sounds like a deep rumble since the mids and highs have been absorbed by barriers and the air while the nearby strike results in much more high frequency "crack" and "sizzle" sounds.
Just riffing over here. Sound is rad.
Cocktail shaker works really well for this method too.
I've never tried hot process bar soap, but I'd expect that rather than "overcooking" you may have evaporated too much water. This could result in a clumpy mass without much cohesion.
I don't follow...what's the other tier?
Let's see how this goes. Water and raw honey, 4:1, hoping for a wild yeast mead. First time, so fingers crossed
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.
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!
