Get some malic acid if you want it to be a different type of sour, or tartaric acid if you want it to be more tart.

Oh actually other suggestions; buy some N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (Often called NALT), it’s incredibly sour and slightly sweet, once again different from from the fruit acids (malic, citric, tartaric). NALT is a precursor to Tyrosine an amino acid. You need only the tiniest amount on the tongue to get the affect. The sourness is from the acetyl group, and I think the slight sweetness is from the tyrosine/or the complete structure, as related compounds are used as artificial sweeteners.

Huh, I’ve got a collection of not necessarily dangerous, but hard to find chemicals. DCM (methylene chloride) is still something I’ve been unable to find. It’s an incredibly useful solvent especially for adhering bitumen felt to itself.

Never been too concerned with fumes at typical temperatures (higher temperatures required for PETG and the effect of those temps on PTFE bowdern tubes are a different box of frogs), but stringing getting pulled into the extruder fans scares the crap out of me as it basically becomes an ultra fine dust that builds up in the air and eventually settles waiting to be disturbed.

Well, I’m in the process of internally overboarding with 50mm PIR sheets for added insulation, added 200mm fibreglass into each floor of my house, and 150mm PIR on top of my flat roofs.

And have just had a heat pump installed, frustratingly, still haven’t quite worked out how to properly drive the thing yet so am rather cold currently.

Wait, why vitamin D before bed?

I thought your body produces it in response to daylight, so I always thought that should be taken in the day?

I’m genuinely unsure they’re a scab, I think they’re saying that we cannot expect these parasitic companies to have the workers best interests at heart, and as such strong workers rights should be enshrined in law and enforced.

I could be misunderstanding them though of course.

I wonder how hard would it be to build a extension for a browser that checks the doi of the paper youre looking at on scihub against the live version, to see if there’s a retraction/update to the paper, and list the date of the changes. I assume that information wouldn’t be behind a paywall.

The reason for it being via an extension is to reduce load on sci hub, and for the lookup requests to be decentralised and live for the relevant paper

My watch later is so big; it breaks whenever I add a new video. I have to manually go into the playlist, change it from recently added to a different listing order, then back to recently added for it to show anything I’ve added since the last time I’ve done this.

So remove a feature, and put in behind a paywall as an additional accessory? … Actually yeah, that’s exactly what apple would do

Not necessarily a stretch or workout that I’m going to suggest, but more if you’re exercising get help from someone who knows good form.

I got into doing sit-ups/core strength exercises as a teenager, alongside bad form and bad sleeping/living conditions + stretchy ligaments have completely ruined my back.

The first thing that’s actually started to help in a way that doesn’t cause other issue has been seeing a physiotherapist, who worked with me to identify exactly which muscles were stiff, which muscles were over stretched, range of movement, etc…

And then walked me through what exercises and and positions would actually help with my difficulties.

Otherwise a massage gun used properly can be a game changer, but same thing, if you have a partner, ask them to help you out; don’t over stretch trying to fix things.

So that community is great, subscribed.

On a similar “I went for a walk, check out this cool blank I found” vibe, does anyone know of an equivalent one for rocks?

I know rockhounds used to be a thing on Reddit but I haven’t come across a Lemmy equivalent yet?

Honestly, it takes surprisingly little recoil to do damage.

My dad managed to split his eyebrow with a little .177 BSA 12ftlb air rifle.

He didn’t think and rested the scope against his eyebrow; was a blunt, cresent shaped cut. Certainly a good way to learn what not to do

Am I missing something? What does this have to do with cyber security?

Do you have a flatbed scanner? Like a photocopier printer?

Literally put the item on the glass of the flatbed and hit scan, stick an etched mm ruler beside it facing the scanner if you want scale.

It’s generally the most effective way by far to perform this.

I’ve used it to copy the perfect profile of an extruded aluminium ebike battery housing, to print a replacement cap after the first got cracked.

Basically when you try to use your phone to perform a task like this, you’ll need to account for the inherent lens distortion of your camera, which is a pain in the ass

Oh that aspect was, other aspects were less bad; when I was a teenager, I kept asking my mum if I could have the basement for a hangout spot/workshop, she eventually let me.

When I started down there I was just a tad bit shorter than the doorways, by the time I left, I was having to crouch when I stood under the regularly ceilings.

Some aspects were good; it let me develop a love for taking things apart and rebuilding them, designing and building things from scratch, working with friends on projects, etc.

Some aspects were less than optimal; I had a 3d printer running almost 24/7 down there, creating a lot of nasty dust + I used to smoke back then, so the air quality of the space was terrible.

The big mistake was likely sleeping down there, being in that environment basically 24/7 was certainly unhealthy.

As someone who was significantly more sedentary, and lived in a environment where I couldn’t stand up straight for a few years, yeah, I was getting issues from this around 16+, late 20’s now and I have scoliosis and an asymmetry of my thorax…

Robot backs when?

Did you take your ADHD meds while you were ill?

I often get that if I take my ADHD meds when I’m sick; I’m either thinking of loads of different things and then eventually get motivated to attempt something with mixed results, or I don’t take my ADHD med and have a rest/relax day where I go I’m just gonna play a game, cosied up in bed or watch something and fall asleep

Yeah I think that’s just upscaling, the janky letters above prohibited clearly read “DISCHARGING OF FIREARMS”

After the Brexit vote, my belief in the general public not voting against their interests has been crushed, I can fully see a significant section of our society falling for this this conman and his cronyism.

How do the more sane aspects of our society actually outcompete this?
