That's fantastic.
I've known a lot folks that talk like Boomhauer, (I've been told I do, as well.)
Black Hole Sun and Beavis and Butthead were both on MTV back then. I don't remember if they watched the video on the show.
Anyhow, that video was up there with NIN's Closer for general weird awesomness. The crazy smiles and expanding eyes are burned into my memory.
Also, proto Hank Hill on Beavis and Butthead.
I remember my grandfather being very upset about the "Beaver and Butthole" show.
That's Psilocybe cubensis, aka magic mushrooms. They've been bred to be easy to fruit given the right humidity and diurnal cycle. Somebody took colonized substrate and packed it under the fan, then initiated fruiting. They then took the card out of the fruiting chamber and staged the photo.
Not particularly hard to do.
Okay, but the fae like live underground in big fancy halls where there's always a party and they're always trying to get impregnated by human guys. (I guess there's some sort of fae agenda going on).
So, like, if you're a dude, just follow the deer to the magic hole and BAM! all-you-can-eat fairyland orgy. The deer might turn into a hot fairy chick or introduce you to his sisters. You just can't ever leave and they get your soul.
IDK, that don't sound so bad.
I really like your analysis.
I really fucking hope you're right.
I very much agree. It is held up as this wonderful parable of how you should live. It's the sort of thing that the powerful use to take advantage and abuse the weak.
This kind of puerile shit is bad for children and is just like a lot of the Jesus crap that gets pounded into kids.
not all beauty is worth pain
I mean, replacing a plug on a cord is like a basic human thing that most people should be able to do. A one minute video will show you how.
If you can't figure out how to change out a plug, you probably can't adult.
This is fucking fantastic.
Just as a PSA, black wire to brass screw, white wire to silver screw, bare or green wire to screw on rounded prong. Also, black wire is hot, white is neutral, green is ground.
I never really figured out you had to drive as fast as possible and that the fuel level was actually a countdown timer. I was crazy about the cartoon and remember being so disappointed with the game.

What cheap woods are the most impact resistant for splintering and splitting?
What is the best way to cure wood to prevent splitting without a kiln? Slap a heavy coat of latex paint on a log/burl/root and let it sit 6mo/year?
What are the most machinable hardwoods? (In particular as regards tearout, warping, and tolerance of thin sections)
In your opinion, what is an available underappreciated or interesting wood to work?
I have added a wifi repeater to the outside of my home so that my wife can watch her critter cams. It is a POE device that runs all the way back to my router.
Would like to install this surge protector but I'm getting conflicting information on grounding it. My installation is to the side of my house, not a metal pole.
Lowest effort options first, I can:
A. Place the protector inside near where the CAT5 enters the basement. Ground to a junction box that I installed that is grounded to the house panel and rod.
B. Ground internally to a water pipe or externally to the outdoor spigot.
C. Drive a ground rod where the cable exits the house and ground to it.
D. Repeat C and also bond to to the pre-existing home ground rod. (Least preferable option, rods would be on opposite corners of house.)
They hate each other so much.
Just looking up some DIY medical procedures and then the unwanted AI goes off the rails.
Found this broken piece in the creek bank. Southwest Pennsylvania. Farmhouse was built in 1922. Coalmining country.
Would have been about 18" in diameter. There is a rough coating in the glaze on the inside and outside of the bowl section. Abrasive enough that I figure it served a mechanical purpose. There are three grooves on the rim that aren't symmetrical to each other.
There might be a makers mark in the center of the glaze inside but I can't make it out. There is also a light blue/green stain on the bottom that might be a mark.
Any ideas?
The electric PTO clutch on my 1969 mini tractor is dead and discontinued.
Original winding is aluminum 18 gauge. Manufacturer specs were 2.88ohms, 237 turns. The manufacturer specs didn't quite physically match what I found when I took apart the old clutch. If I understand this correctly, the 2.88ohms is the most important part and will pull 4.17 amps.
I just attempted a coil with 18 gauge copper magnet wire. I made it to the max dimensions I can get in the housing with a scramble wind. I'm getting 1.2 ohms, which would pull 10 amps or so. Not good.
Was able to get 187 feet given the resistance.
If I go with 20 gauge copper, assuming I can get 235 feet (1.26 * 187) and I should get 2.319 ohms. Probably get a little more than 235 feet and get the resistance up a little more.
What does this do to the strength of the magnetic field?
Would I be better off putting a power resistor in series with my 18 gauge coil?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Another before:
It's green Vermont slate, figured out that it was originally painted black and marbled. Victorian thing, faux marble mantels. Fireplace is also Victorian faux, red brick, would have had logs and a red light. I'll be putting in a gas insert at some point.
Started at 220grit, and worked up to 1000. Finished with a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits:
Didn't realize slate could be this pretty and figured:
So, I found this stone mantel behind the garage of the 100 year old house we just bought. It was mostly buried in the dirt. Fits our mantel perfect. Some sort of green stone. Was painted black at some point. I'm trying to strip the paint and want to refinish the stone. Area is southeast of Pittsburgh. Father of the man who built the house was an Italian stonemason that immigrated.
Don't think it's slate, has a tight grain and rings when you knock on it.
What kind of stone is this?
Might think about taking a break for a while. I have to, sometimes. Do some camping and mostly unplug. Anything real big goes down and you'll hear about it.
Marathon, not a sprint. Fuck em, we're harder. Country boy can survive.
