    No screw on top. Supposedly, there’s a locking peg in them but I haven’t managed to get the peg working. May have something to do with how the gaskets are aligned. Will need to take a good look at them 🙂

    Going to use them for spices! 😀

    They are making some progress with inertial containment but I haven’t gotten there yet

    If it’s Homer, then there’s probably booze around! 😛

    Yeah, it’s a completely different design! Much more pleasing to the eyes in the lab! Haven’t read much on them yet but I’ll get there!

    Looks like TerraCycle has something but they don’t specify if it’s for natural, synthetic, or both. Probably need to reach out to them about that 🙂

    What kind of holder do you use? Have had some trouble finding one I like locally. We do have a couple shops that may have them but they’re a little difficult to access without proper transportation so I may need to order them.

    That’s going to be a heck of a picnic! The ants will be most pleased! 😀

    Just came across this: https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Illustrated-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0358653037?ref=dlx_deals_dg_dcl_0358653037_mw_sl14_72

    Absolutely stunning!

    Whelp, Blackwings can’t use Crystal Wing effectively like I initially thought: the opening cards lock you in to Dark creatures while Crystal Wing is a Wind creature. Subbed it in anyways as I can still use it if I can’t get the appropriate combo off. Still, I’ll go back to trawling through the card database for a better option.

    Also, I clean forgot about the links. Will try to fix that!

    Been meaning to ask this for quite some time but better late than never!

    I have some worn out socks that are a mixture of synthetic and natural material. Can these be recycled at all or do they just need to be thrown out? I know that, with a uniform material make, there are outfits that will break them down and reuse the resources but having a mixture may make it more trouble than it’s worth for the centers

    Yep, can see where it would be a good name for a Western. Recently got confused by Apple’s new series Dark Matter due to SyFy having an older space opera show by that name (which was great!) 😛

    Started watching Andy Sidaris’s films the other day and they’re a lot of fun if you like cheesy action flicks (I do!).

    Lorcana doesn’t seem to have an official card database but I’ll investigate the third-party ones so I can get some information added

    Additionally, I’m thinking it may be helpful to add some information on some of the more popular fan formats for some of the games listed in the opening post. Thoughts?

    Started reading up on tokamaks today (need to finish the article another day as it’s a lot to take in) and they’re pretty interesting. In essence, they’re giant magnets with an injection component so that different substances can be added for regulation, depending on what the operator wants to do. In addition, they use a layer of expensive heavy metals for the primary structure with an additional layer of sacrificial light metals to keep the plasma contained while keeping the heavy metals from leaching into the plasma and stopping the reaction. The magnetic flux is additionally controlled by the shape of the containment structure, adjusting the overall reaction sustainability.

    That’s what the issue was? When I was testing, I just assumed you were getting the issue with the malformed ol and ul tags. 😛

    I’ve always wondered why hardware manufacturers stylize components that you’re never going to see. Motherboards have color designs, video cards have similar, and some processors even have art etched on them. This was also before transparent cases became more common.

    And in other other news: wine, anyone?

    Does a new post exhibit the same behavior with the recent bbPress updates?

    Recalled this gem the other day: https://www.armadillorun.com/

    Have fond memories of playing it years ago. I wonder how it’s held up over the decades?

    May get myself a so-called desk mat for the odd cases where I run out of mouse pad room 😛

    Ten years is the estimate before it hits 80% capacity so, in theory, it should stay alive for a total of fifteen to twenty at reduced capacity. But time will tell! Definitely relic worthy!

    Let’s hope it works!

    In my experience, off-brand batteries don’t tend to last as long so hopefully the official battery works 🙂

    My favorite part is where he was supposedly drunk and on crack the whole time. He even got barred from entering the studio as the guard thought he was a random nutcase. Sounds about right 😛

    Really need to watch Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels at some point. Its Talk page is a pretty fun read, too! 🙂

    The Rift was pretty enjoyable, even if it was a pretty typical underwater adventure film. The acting helped it stand out even though the plot wasn’t anything to write home about. 🙂

    Almost stayed for yesterday’s tournament since it was starting earlier than usual but decided I wasn’t yet ready. One day! 🙂

    Getting my mom set up with an Ecoflow Delta 2 Max. She lives in an area with a sensitive grid so she’d like to be able to get some power when they get clobbered by a hurricane. 🙂

    “I’ll explode when I want to explode! Oh look, a space probe! Target practice!” 😀

    It’s a standard Dish Network dish. It’s pretty banged up and looks like a tree had fallen on it so it may not be usable (the shape is all out of whack). Won’t know until I fix a wire to it and plug it into a radio, though. Will probably also want to give it a good scrubbing. It’s pretty dirty. For cooler weather!

    Lorcana seems to be pretty popular. Perhaps it’s worth including it into the first post?

    Thinking about buying a couple of Pokemon starter decks. Never did play the game, just liked the artwork. Would be a slight change but I’m kind of in the mood to try a game that’s a little less intense than Yu-Gi-Oh. Not that I plan to quit playing, just want a great of fresh air is all. 🙂

    Trying to do some research on plasma confinement for some ideas bouncing around the dusty processor and Wikipedia’s article leaves a little to be desired: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_confinement

    It just links to the different types instead of providing a general overview. The overview would be really helpful so I had a better handle on what I’m reading in the linked articles

    The DoE does a slightly better job: https://www.energy.gov/science/doe-explainsplasma-confinement

    Sorry! Looks like that image was removed for whatever reason. Here’s a new one!

    Yeah, the A/C is set to turn on at 80F. The humidity is so bad, though, that it’s still very high outside even at 72F. It’s horrible!

    Great! Yeah, I need to do that with my lamps. As I use them, the screws holding the shafts together and the one holding the shade down come loose so I periodically need to tighten them up. Had one time when the whole thing came apart on me, it was so loose 😛

    Will definitely add it to the reading list! 🙂

    Over here, we also have instances where prisoners are sometimes exploited to run scams using their phone time. Always disheartens me 🙁

    Found these yesterday: https://www.boxlunch.com/product/disney-the-nightmare-before-christmas-sallys-storage-jars—boxlunch-exclusive/13341930.html

    Would look quite nice in the kitchen! 🙂

    The jars came! They’re much bigger than expected!

    I have the entire series of Flying Circus on DVD! 😀

    Could also use it to mail a letter! 😛

    The sleeves came in and they work like a charm! They’re a much better fit than the basic standard sized sleeves over a regular Japanese sized sleeve with much less movement. 🙂
