Me as a vampire and also Marvel’s The Thing: “It’s hemogobblin’ time!”

Definitely both, since a lot of people (myself included) don’t have anything resembling a good local landtrust. Evety tiny bit of park/public land/etc near me is like 99% amur honeysuckle, garlic mustard, and lesser celendine. None of the people ostensibly responsible for taking care of said land seem to care… 😭

A combination of SearXNG and Stract, for the most part. They’re definitely not perfect (yet), but they mostly get the job done! And I think they both have a lot of cool filters and refinement settings that I haven’t even taking advantage of so far.

For niche stuff it seems like a lot of hyper targeted search engines are popping up, like Sepia Search for PeerTube.

Why are people afraid of house centipedes? They already ARE cute! It’d be one thing if they were at least somewhat willing to bite you, like some spiders, but they won’t. They’ve got the best eyesight of any centipede, which inadvertently gives them really cute little eyes too.

Pennsylvania, U.S.A. I hear it’s a fairly common policy here but does vary from provider to provider. As I understand it, most areas in the U.S. have at most 2 ISP companies to choose from, and many only have 1. So they can kinda set whatever BS policies they want.

I’ve heard of options to get around the lack of static IP, but will something like this also keep my ISP off my back about hosting? If so I’m onboard!

I was afraid that might be the case… Definitely pretty messed up, but with the state of ISPs around here it’s not surprising either. This guide is super awesome though, I’ll use it if I ever get a chance to!

I would really like to mess around with self-hosting someday, but I live in a residential area and those sort of shenanigans are explicitly banned by my ISP. Is there anything someone in that position can do?

Oh yeah! And what’s even more fun, each part has a slightly different flavor. Even the berries taste different green vs red, with vs without seed, etc. It’s really versatile.

Sure! I mostly grind dried parts of them into spice mixes, i.e. seeds, bark, leaves. It’s got kind of a peppery, citrussy, piney flavor. I like it in pancakes, yogurt, curry, tea… lotsa stuff.

That swallowtail has excellent taste… spicebush is delicious 😌👌

Measure the ends, design some 3d printable caps, maybe? Except it sounds like you might need a LOT of them, 3d printing isn’t as good for that… maybe make a mold for a cap and then thermoform a bunch off of it? Orrr maybe it could be easier to grind the ends down instead?

Yesssss awesome, ty!!

Yes please! I’m kind of a novice at coding and foolishly decided to try doing my own Rust + Activitypub project, so obviously I’m in wayyyy over my head. This would be really really helpful!

Luckily the Rust documentation is very good, but the Activitypub documentation is very bad, and the Activitypub-in-Rust documentation is nearly nonexistent. It must be in the Zeitgeist right now or something, I was literally just wishing that something like what you propose existed.

You should start a Civ community!

UPDATE: So the 8mm male quick disconnect to 1/8 NPT female adapter worked! Everything now hooks up to everything else just fine. Unfortunately, there’s a new problem.

I have no idea how the gas valve built into the isi Whip works, but this hookup doesn’t seem capable of pushing any CO2 through it! Everything else works, there’s no leaks, and gas can make it all the way through the hose and out the end. But as soon as I screw it onto the isi’s gas hookup, it can’t get through. There’s a video of an isi disassembly here that shows what the valve looks like inside, but I can’t tell much from it. Clearly this thing is some sort of one-way valve, since gas doesn’t escape when you remove a CO2 cartridge… But what’s so special about a cartridge that my janky hookup doesn’t match?

As far as I can tell, nothing in the mechanism budges when you push on it. I don’t think it’s being mechanically opened by screwing the cartridge in. Is it possible that it just requires the explosive amount of pressure released by a punctured CO2 cartridge before it’ll open? I’ve been feeding it 30 PSI. Some quick googling tells me that 8g cartridges usually release 850 to 1100 PSI. Should I just try cranking up the pressure until something happens? I think the problem then becomes, there’s substantially more than 8g of CO2 in my tank… What happens then?

Now, I’ve since stumbled onto this post about just straight up removing the built-in gas hookup and replacing it with a sanke to ball lock conversion kit. That seems like it might be way better than the approach I’ve been using, and I wish I had seen it earlier!

oh yeah, me too! i’ve been thinking it was just my phone slowly going bad lol

Oh I definitely have like zero idea what I’m doing, but hopefully I’ll learn a thing or two in the process lol. I will definitely be picking up some Nylog White, thanks!

So, the 3/8 turned out to be WAYYY too big! I was just kind of naively taking it on faith because the listing said that’s what it was… I think it’s actually 1/8 instead? We’ll see once the new part arrives. Shame on me for trusting a thumbnail from AliExpress over, you know, a ruler 😅

You could come to the community I (poorly) moderate, that this post is indirectly about 😝

That would explain the nut looking thing, right? Does it being a compression fitting matter insofar as the specific type of thread/diameter is concerned? I don’t really know anything about them, but a cursory Wiki skimming makes them seem complicated and delicate. Could I have potentially messed it up at all by removing it from the TR21-4 it was originally screwed into? It was quite hard to remove.
