I lost like 10lbs in 2 weeks. My trick was to get pneumonia.

My trick was to that I stopped working and started focusing on doing nothing. Yes! I put on a pound or three.

It might be water, though I'm only measuring weight in the morning after urinating, and I'm well hydrated all the time. I'm assuming a loss of around 100-200 grams per day. Should be at 80kg/180lbs after two months or so.

For not-terrible, that sounds like a lot of fun. Can you hand-hold it?

Depends, with lots of light and fast shutter, yes at times. Mostly though, no way. Even on a tripod, just walking around near it shakes everything.

Maybe need a better tripod though at that length it would take a tank of a RRS or something.

Croatian who has said no to the wine. You are a weirdo!

I also don't drink coffee. I'm not a weirdo, I'm a total freak of nature

Oh, happy Easter and holidays, too!
I like bevanda, that's half still water, half wine. A glass or two per day tops.

Yeah, it is fun to build, but I definitely felt like part of the fun was owning the nice amp at the end of the build. It would be hard to part with it.

You can turn a little profit on them, actually. They routinely go for ~$500 on HF last I checked. Some peeps want one, but don't feel comfortable building their own. With the current $100 off promo, it's even less risky.

I for one would love to read a @Luckbad review of the Crack.
Good deal on the price, too.

Actually, no :D
99 is the number ofo brackets I'll use to stabilize the whole build, and each has 4 holes.

Oh! Sorry, metal blank on the build.
I like to blame age...

Cant wait to finish it

Obviously the really short giant. A giant midget would just be a ball, and a really short giant is still a giant.

Chuck Norris.

I was watching a video on how a samurai vs knight is a stupid debate. A guy on youtube, skallagrim, makes great vids on historical weapons and such. This was one of the comments, cracked me up. :)

Isn't this account only about a year old anyway?

It is.

False shame is widespread disease. Snowflakery and lack of confidence is trending strong. Good that you are braking away.

All the thrill of the dominatrix experience, for a fraction of the price!

don't like them, but The male mosquito does not feed on blood. Instead, he survives on the sugars present in plant nectar. As a byproduct of his actions, he helps to pollinate those same plants. In subarctic climates such as northern EUA,Canada and Russia, mosquitoes play a major role in plant pollination.

@purr1n "Mosquitoes I kill without hesitation."

I was always like that. Picking up a larva, searching for the food plant it fell off. India turned me into a mass murderer. Mosquitoes. And sometimes ants.

(But I don't kill cockroaches. I don't see any harm in them, as long as they are outside. So I scoop them up and put them there)

Little fuckers refuse to die off, it's very warm for what's practically november...

I prefer the zeroes to the original Transparent One. The Transparent One Encore took what they learned from the Transparent Zeroes and added it back the bigger speaker.

Transparent zero's tick so many boxes.. for that money, it's an instant buy, if I could find them, that is.

All you said's true. I meant biologically inert in a sense that it's in its metallic form, not ionic in a liquid. You can eat it drink it whatever. Mercury... has a vapour pressure. And while small, it's very toxic. So ... not a good idea.

Also, yes, aqua regia is a nitric/cloric combo, but 2l of bleach and 2l of hcl for a grand total of 2 bucks works exacly the same if you can deal with clorine gas. Or inhale it all, like me!

So, if I was to *drink* the bleach, and then eat the gold, that wouldn't be so good, as it would be meeting bleach plus HCl (not H2SO4; thanks) in my stomach.

I'll try to remember not to do that!

Interesting. Not that I'm planning to do this, but always interested in the howto of things. Off to google/ youtube to find out!

(I imagine you *don't* use mercury as a solvent, and then drive off the mercury in your kitchen oven. Not if you want to stay alive and out of prison!)

HCl, air bubbler and bleach. All the water soluble metal waste precipitates with lye into a paste which can be superheated to form metals again, or delivered to the waste disposal. Gold percipitates with alkali metadisulfides (wine protection chemicals). No need for mercury at all. :)

Historically, amalgam was used in the gold 'plating' of silver salt pots. I think the process killed plenty of workers!

I just noticed your profession. As a scientist, I guess you'll stay safe with the chemicals --- and use the right eye protection! :)
