I bought an enormous jar in Napa not too long ago. And the capers are tiny, much smaller than the modern giant capers…

look up fenton's reagent: iron(ii) will catalyze water into hydrogen peroxide. this also causes iron gall ink to damage paper over time

this is literally why i invented tagging

Tags are good. Does the browsers have a standard way to access them? I know Firefox has something. Not sure about Chrome/Edge/Safari. I know some people just annotate the title with tags during bookmarking, like [tag1 tag2]. Searching would definitely hit on those.

sorry for being pedantic but you should delete the whole last section of your pedantic comment.


How dare you be pedantic about my pedantry


festool is up from hilti, maybe


And Mafell can be better than festool. Though different manufacturers tend to have different advantages.

Hilti makes some very large tools that if needed Festool does not have alternative. I have also seen a comparably priced Hilti drill/driver give up where a Makita kept going.


WOW I've never heard of festool and hilti but simple googling has turned up amazing stores of their customer service. Unfortunately it looks like they don't overlap completely in the types of tools Ryobi offers.

I really like Ryobi's 18V and 40V 'ecosystem'. Every time I am browsing Home Depot or their website, I come across new items that are compatible with these two ecosystems.

Just recently I saw everything from 18V Ryobi Glue Gun to a Portable Power washer that can suck water from a bucket (eliminating the need for a hose) to even a portable soldering iron! Hell they even got a boombox ha ha!

For the 40V I saw cool things such as a portable power generator, lawn mowers, wet dry vac and even a portable refrigerator.

Its really cool that there are like a bazillion things that your existing batteries can plug into.


It’s probably Ryobi’s No 1 advantage, particularly as a lot of stores seem to stock a lot of the range (at least here in Europe).

Makita also has a large range but I usually have to order the less popular stuff but when I get it, it’s usually worth it.


I started an event series at a much lower level: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/11/business/self-racing-cars...

Personally, I think that limiting it to specific entrance from universities and having very high-end vehicles (these are dallara Indy lights) overly narrows the field for competition and thus innovation.


How much have you spent to get started?


I run the event, not build the cars. People have entered with RC cars and up to full size porsches


I have used the pump drinking system in a race car before. It’s hard to stay hydrated. I did a 1 and then 1.5 hour stint during a 4hr enduro.


I submitted the optimally bad entrant the first year, cheesebot.

I can't believe they didn't say anything about your solution! How did it work?


Nice! How does Cheesebot work and why did it lose?


i tried one to hold my jaw forward. cpap is way, way less painful.


i had a meeting at Frog once and saw one of these (or a similar design) off in the corner.
