  • Looking for a federated alternative to Signal as they might have to comply with ChatControl, I tried SimpleX, XMPP, Matrix, NextCloud Talk and DeltaChat. It was quite a ride

  • A short summary at the start would be helpful, otherwise this is a wall of text that isn't inviting.

    Great info, just too much at once. For example, I've tried most of these, so I don't feel like digging through all this to figure out if you found the same things.

    We don't even know at the beginning how many, or which ones you tried, or what high level requirements you worked with.

  • Just go outside (if you're in a zone that has enough annual sun). At least in the summer months.

    That's the best source, as it helps your body produce the specific form it needs (because there are a few).

    Supplementation only works when there's a massive deficit, as it's not necessarily the exact form a given person needs.

  • I couldn't see a port like that without magnification, and it's hard to get light with magnification just right.

    I can see this being useful for things where I just can't get the magnifyer, light and my head in the right spot. Though it would be better as a borescope connected to my phone (via USB rather than this thing's WiFi). Which you can get for about the same price.

    Ya all got suckered into this stuff because admin is a bunch of complacent people.

    I was telling about this in the late 90's,and everyone called me a crank.

  • I mean, yea, have you never had deep-fried turkey? You're missing out!

    We can thank eastern Europe for schnitzel (which is fantastic, I make it all the time) - deep fried turkey is essentially the same family of cooking, just using total immersion frying, like we do for so many other foods.

    But I'd set this thing up outside, on concrete, using a metal table, with a good extinguisher handy. (Which is how deep fried turkey should always be made).

  • Neat approach to dealing with the clean out.

    Glad you went with concrete, it really is the best answer. Even if it was imperfect, it's would still be better than wood, since it's not structural.

  • Most, if not all car companies collect and profile your data, how can I improve my privacy when buying a modern car?

  • Not really.

    They all now have computers with data connections to report car metrics.

  • Rule 2 of car ownership: never take it to the dealer for maintenance. Find a local shop and build a relationship with them.

    Rule 1 is never buy a new car/buy a car from a branded dealer. Cars lose up to 30% of their value when first purchased. Several years ago I bought a 3 year old car for half it's new value - that's how much they depreciate (a Honda no less). Brand dealers are pros at screwing you over.

  • Baby gloc time

    Jump

  • It's still a standard glock doublestack , so it'll be fat compared to single stacks like a Seecamp LWS, which is something like 1/4 thinner for the same round (but carries fewer rounds). (Been a while since I compared them, don't recall actual specs).

    Nothing against it - there's a logic to the thicker grip Glock uses - it makes it more comfortable for certain people. I like it in general, find their guns more comfortable to run a bunch of rounds through.

    A friend has a Walther in .22, and I'd rather shoot his 40 Glock - the thinner Walther steel grip isn't as comfortable and you feel the recoil more than in a Glock. Another friend has the same Glock as yours in 9mm. Again it's comfortable to shoot, just a little wider than other pocket guns.

    Edit: great website for comparing gun specs. https://www.handgunhero.com/compare/lw-seecamp-lws-380-vs-glock-g26

  • Update - Cold-room (not cold room) flooring

    Jump

  • Yes, this dirt is "attached to outside dirt".

    This is the same ground that's under all of the foundation. There'd be no reason to bring in dirt to put on top of concrete that's been poured. Which is why this is so confusing - there's no reason I can think of for leaving this open and installing a wood floor rather than being finished with concrete like the rest. This just leaves an opportunity for water intrusion.

    If you're down to clay, I'd just fill with gravel (and insulation, as mentioned by someone else) and pour concrete - this is the best approach in my opinion. Otherwise it will always be a moisture problem.

    You could extend the clean out to be just above your finished floor level.

    Alternatively, level the concrete to just barely below the clean out and install a false floor using wood. Then you've sealed the floor, left the clean out, and the false floor provides an even surface without the clean out being in the way (it would be under the false floor).

  • Cold room floor help

  • Like who the hell built that with wood right on dirt?

    That took more effort than just finishing that area with concrete like the rest of the floor.

    Sometimes I just don't get how builders think.

  • Baby gloc time

    Jump

  • I don't like how fat they are because of the double stack glock uses.

    Fun little shooter though, at least 380 shouldn't have too much kick for that small grip.

    I've shot one at a range in 9mm. Not awful, but wouldn't want to run too many rounds through it.

  • The English language doesn't exist – it's just French that's badly pronounced

  • English does have more loanwords than most languages have words.

    But it's still a Germanic language with a similar origin as modern German. If I remember correctly, they both stem from some proto-Germanic language and they continued development independently of each other.

  • The English language doesn't exist – it's just French that's badly pronounced

    Jump

  • Yea, no.

    There's not a single valid linguist that would agree. It's very clearly a Germanic language, with French being the single largest influence courtesy of the Norman Conquests.

    "Four score and twenty years ago" - nowhere else in English do you find this number construction, only by someone who speaks French (such as Lincoln, Jefferson, Franklin, etc).
