This is true, but also not a huge deal for this design. Store it upright and water isn’t contacting the print. While in use there’s not much prolonged contact, or even contact area, between the water and the print.

These weren’t absolutely leak free, but they didn’t leak any more than the injection molded pices for 2L bottles.

It workes pretty well. Most of the injection molded vortex generators have an oreface that restricts flow, so I incorporated that concept into this design.

The only downside is fluid capacity.

For this particular project, finding a model that already had the threads in it.

More broadly, threads usually follow one of a handful of standards. It’s just a matter of figuring out which standard is being used and then finding the size. I haven’t found a great way of approaching that for bigger threads, beyond measure with a pair of calipers, but if you’re working on nuts and bolts a metal fixture with various threads is the way to go IMO.

Sorry to burst your bubble but these have been a thing since at least the 90s

Oh, I know. I was a child in this era and wanted something similar for my kids.

I just wanted something that could attach to a more sturdy bottle as 2L soda bottles are… pretty flimsy when a kid is shaking them around to get a vortex to start.

I loled. It’s a tornado adapter for a pair of Gatorade bottles. These were pretty popular when I was the age my kids are now, granted they were for 2L soda bottles.

That’s super cheap. Does that include distribution charges?

Our utility has had a few plans geared at auto, including a second meter that they could remotely disable if necessary, but their current plans are nowhere near as good.

Here’s their best time of use plan if you can push most of your use into the evenings:

We use Amazon way too heavily and my page was still super boring.

Michigan has term limits. It has not worked out well. It makes lobbying way easier, since the lawmakers aren’t very effective earlier in their career. You also wind up with two casts of politians: those who want to be public servants and are forced to run for a different office to keep good on the table and those who are already well heeled. We don’t need the second category in politics.

Click the arrival link in the header if you skipped it. There are some great quotes in there and lots of sources.

Eleven of them were famously found and fixed by other people! In public, before this report even came out. They scraped the web and found the bugs.

Search results also really suck these days. It’s pages upon pages of SEO slop.

100 MILLION troman sounds like a lot, but it turns out it’s just 730 bucks.

Using pure currency conversion, sure.

The average annual income of an urban household was approximately 3.432 billion rials

Sauce. Evidently there’s a factor of 10 difference between these two denominations, so you’re talking about 1/3 of the average household’s income. For Muricans, that’s around $27k.

This is the same chart, but with the 99-99.9% slice broken out too.

The view by share is more telling IMO:

• The top 1% have 32.5% of the wealth. This is up from 22.8% in 1990
• The 90-99% have 36.4% of the wealth. This is down from 38% in 1990
• The 50-90% have 28.8% of the wealth. This is down from 35.7% in 1990
• The fact that the bottom 50% have 2.3% of the wealth. This is down from 3.5% in 1990

The fact that 50% of our population has a single digit share of wealth is a travisty.

The only group growing share is the 1%. Their per capital numbers are eye-watering. The 90-99% do have about 4x the per capital wealth as the 50-90% group, but the top 1% are literally 10x that on a per capital basis. The top 0.1% are eye-watering wealthy compared to anyone else.

Nice work! Assuming this isn’t scaled, that must have been a big bearing.

@[email protected] would likely approve, or at least have some interesting musings.

600+ ghosted applications later

That sounds horrible, I’m really sorry to hear that you’re going through this :(

My job sucks, but I am thankful to have one given the industry I work in.

I do similar, but in my case I made all notifications silent minus three total apps: the app my wife and I use to text and the two different apps my kids teachers use.

It’s… so nice. It’s almost as rewarding as my recent email unsubscing binge and setting up rules some of the other stuff I want to keep out of the spotlight.

Open loop is basically “use evaporative cooling to reduce electricity use”. For example, you could spray water on your home AC condenser to boost efficiency, although home units obviously aren’t intended to be constantly wet. Cooling towers are designed to be constantly wet and their radiator structures are very different, but the concept is the same.

I wonder if we’re going to come full circle back to list servers and manually curated content. That doesn’t solve search though. It’s also very difficult to reliable detect an AI vs an actual human.

Search, and the web in general, are still horribly broken IMO. This makes the results crap in many cases. The SEO game was round one. Round two were all the different sites that were scraping each other and posting the same information with different formatting. Today the top results are all basically just slop on plausible sounding domain names that were registered within the past year or two.

smart lights are amazingly useful

I’m not saying your wrong, but I also don’t understand the use case? Maybe I’m a Luddite, but things like like dimmers, motion sensors and two way light switches seem to meet my needs well. It’s also not difficult to buy high CRI lights in the color temperature we like.

What am I missing?

Ah, a thermal event. The company I work for had a similar policy, but we’re now free to say the f-word again.
