  • Take a look at cement board and the codes for your area for a wood stove.

    There’s certain gap requirements for heat etc but you could rig up something fairly simply whether a box or more open enclosure.

    There are also fire extinguishers that are activated by heat and sit above a potential fire source. People use them in 3D printer enclosures fairly often. Batteries burn for a long long time depending on how charged they are so it would have limited effectiveness.

    This could actually be a really interesting and useful product idea. Maybe a kit with GFCI outlet, surge protector bar with fused outlets, huge spacing between outlets to allow for large plugs, metal/cement board case, wire shelving, ventilation fans to keep batteries cool but have louvre shut to cut oxygen for fires. Hmmm I want this for my garage.


  • Two weird questions. What’s your fridge set at and how far away do you buy your milk?

    It’s pretty common in grocery stores and during shipping for milk containers to break, jugs or bags. I’m wondering if perhaps your fridge is set too high and your store is close enough that when you put the milk in your fridge it would be the coldest object, causing condensation which makes a puddle of ‘milk’ that is washed off the outside of the jug.

    Maybe? It’s weird that it doesn’t ‘leak’ after you open it.








  • Still internal. So by exposed I mean legally they have been informed of this negligence and not acted in a timely manner to address it. I gave them a week to do what they need to do and Friday went to another employees house after work and went over the SDS for the chemical that has possible injured him because they had yet to inform him. They had their chance.

    Long weekend so Tuesday a machine isn’t get turned on and by Wednesday they start losing about 2k every 4 minutes.






  • White pine is terrible for burning so I’d not do firewood myself.

    Lots of knots and compression wood with that grow type. Too many knots for anything structural and you may not even get enough clear spans without cracks at the compression lines to do a decent bench even.

    You’ll get some serious warp and cupping even with it being kiln dried, air dry will be a bit of a nightmare. I think my milk would just chip something like this.

    If it’s sentimental use I’d probably disc it to make rustic end tables or set them in dirt for a lawn path. The other option I can think of would be to rough it into 6x6 ish chunks up to 3 feet long. Chuck it in your attic for a year. Then learn wood carving and make a bird or something.


  • Interesting. I just reimaged mine this morning for a very similar issue but didn’t run into any problems yet after restore.

    Mine crashed while playing Uncharted and after it rebooted it would flip to a black screen when launching a game. Stayed black until the game fully launched and once you quit it would stay at a black screen instead of showing SteamOS. If you hit the volume buttons the screen would stay on until the status bar went away. If you managed to navigate to the desktop it worked fine. Screen came back normal after a reboot but problem would come back after every game launch.

    Haven’t gotten to test yet while waiting for games to download. Somehow my sd card got corrupted during the restore so I lost all my downloads.
