Yeah they will absolutely harass you if the feeder is low. I've had them literally get right up in my face before, chirping and talking shit repeatedly.

This is what the true Internet is supposed to be right here imho. Not some corpo-ran algorithm machine; just a couple of nerds documenting and supporting an ultra niche subject just for the love of the game. No profit motive, no data harvesting, no attention economy; just free and open exchange of information between strangers simply because someone had an interest and a skill.

Fantastic post OP, love to see it. And found a couple new communities to sub to.

It's for calibrating machines that measure peanut butter quality. This is a verified "pure" reference product to ensure machines are measuring accurately. The nist sells a bunch of various reference grade products. Veritasium made a great video on the subject: https://youtu.be/esQyYGezS7c

It's one word "projectivy" fyi

"do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life" is total bullshit.

It's more like "turn something you love into a job and you'll ruin it"

I have a heat pump water heater that's vented to the outside and I call it my outdoor air conditioner, it's so nice to stand under the vent on a hot day and get cold AC on my neck.

Tues - Thurs: lament the destruction of our planet and the dichotomy of dreaming an end to capitalism while being forced to actively participate in your own oppression.

I have two 8 inch penetrations that are ducted directly to the water heater, an inlet and exhaust. During summer I imagine I'm getting fantastic efficiency with source air being from outside at 80+ degrees (F). In winter we do have occasional freezing temps but usually above 40ish. I don't have hard efficiency numbers but I've had it for over a year now and have definitely noticed savings on my monthly electric bill.

I should mention the water heater is in a closet, hence why it's ducted.

Last time I saw this I concluded it's locals leaving 1 Star reviews to lessen tourists visiting these spots.

I think switching sides like that is used when clearing corners in certain situations, I could be mistaken. But seagal here is definitely not holding that piece in any proper way.

Don't need a whistle blower to tell me what way the wind blows. Are they a capitalist? Yes? Then they don't care about anything other than money and power; and children are neither.

Rather not.

Super interesting article.

Fascinating. Post more like this!

The rich.

Wow I literally just installed mint cinnamon on a T590 like an hour ago. Small world!

The U.S. government under President Trump has sought to weaken regulations intended to keep the U.S. food supply safe, most recently seeking to abolish what it calls “outdated processing requirements” for meat and poultry products. USDA under Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has proposed speeding up the chicken slaughtering lines from 140 birds per minute to 175 and the turkey slaughtering lines from 55 birds per minute to 60.

Regulations are written in blood, usually due to deaths. They are the only things attempting to keep us safe from these corporations and without them I expect things to get much worse and the exploitation to increase with each lessened regulation. Both for workers and consumers.

That 2nd picture really hits. You have a person sitting on a curb in a defeated posture, invoking images of someone who is down on their luck possibly unable to find work, while behind them is this ad featuring a blank almost soulless face depicting an "employee," who presumably is the reason the curb sitter cannot find work, being praised for not ever needing or wanting work/life balance (you know, things like sleeping or not working)

It's such a bleak and dystopian scene presented in such an average everyday setting.
