I haven’t watched any Silo yet, but I’m a big fan of Adam Savage, and seeing his videos and enthusiasm on the prop ans set design for the show has definitely piqued my interest.

Depending on the level of quality you’re looking for, that could be a very doable project, or a mistake, only you can find that out! Based on your questions, I’d have some reservations about tackling that.

My specific thoughts: Figure out if it’s custom to that wall forever, or has any possibility of being used elsewhere in whole or in part. building it in chunks that attach together is a good idea regardless, for ease of build/if anything needs to be changed later.

Those are some pretty wide shelves up top, and you’ll definitely want to consider how much weight they’ll potentially hold, and if they should be very thick or have additional support in the center.

Hiring someone to do all of it, or just a bit of design/consulting isn’t a bad call depending on your skills and quality desired.

The other suggestions of find some furniture (IKEA or other) that checks enough boxes with some minor add-ons/modification is a good option as well.

What’s the 8->15 year math?

Cutting off your arm isn’t necessarily illegal (didn’t look into that specifically, and it may well be), but from my quick googling is, legally required to be reported by most if not all medical professionals. That report will almost certainly fall well within the rules of what will put you into a 72 hour involuntarily psychiatric hold.

So… Cutting your own arm off, regardless of legality, is likely to lead 72 or more hours of imprisonment.

I don’t know where exactly the line between cutting your own arm off for fun vs. to study it vs. self treating with homemade cancer drugs falls on the danger to self and others scale. My line would likely be a lot closer to ‘do what you want to do’ than most judges, but I do think cutting off your arm for most any reason is a reasonable bar for some outside inquiry, from a mental health standpoint.

Just noodling here as well.

Likely answer —we’re being nerds and reading too much into it.

No—
—3 lbs of thrust isn’t going to be happening, speaking from experience with model planes.
—3lbs of the air inside is compressed and weighs more is even farther from possible.

Likely—
—It only has the battery, fan, whatever when it’s running, and they don’t count that when it’s uninflated for some reason. Like how cars have dry weight, curb weight, and gvrw.
—somewhere in the spec sheets, someone made a mistake, two people worked on things and rounded differently, some other clerical/communicative error.

I have a pair of cheap UV protection sunsleeves that I’ve cut to just cover my wrists-forearms that I wet with a spray bottle when it’s crazy hot. Works incredibly well.

It’s not actually especially difficult. People who produce more than their kid needs will sell or give away the extra to people who are struggling to produce enough. Also… Some hardcore body builders buy it as well.

I definitely recommend Baba Is You and FEZ as well. Similarly to FEZ there is a mobile game Monument Valley (and Monument Valley 2) which I adore. It’s spendier in $/time, but I find is highly worth it.

Bastion isn’t a 2D game, but I’d like to recommend it while I’m at it, it’s play is perhaps close enough, and it’s stunning.

I agree with Car in that you should talk to them, regardless of how hard it is before modifying anything.

Depending on design, pliers could bend all the points to face downwards.

People are colder now, looking like maybe around 97.9 average. But you’re still chillier than most.

Any plastic sheeting that’s easy to bend with or without heat could be a decent option that doesn’t have high tool costs/skill requirements.

Oh, regarding the burned spot, if the coil failed because it picked up lint, that burned on, insulated/heated up more from the lint catching fire/whatever, bending the coil outwards could actually make it more likely to catch lint/whatever. No idea with your dryer if that chance is better or worse than the possible benefits of spreading, just a thought.

Some greases are incompatible, and not cleaning thoroughly causes them to react chemically and cause issue, but unless you’re in that situation, you don’t need to clean super well.

Second tangentially off topic reply by me, but hey, it’s chat.

Something I encounter more often is rather the opposite. When people come to you with problems, (especially technology related, but it fits all types) it’s often “what’s the solution to this weird specific thing?” and that weird specific thing turns out to be a result of them being part way through solving a problem their own weird way, because they neglected to consider the hammer situation.

In your case I’d be like if you asked me for skateboard grip tape to attach to the cap because it’s too hard to pull off.

A good technique is to do what you did, recognize something might be wrong here, and try re-understand the original problem, feel good about recognizing it, not foolish for misunderstanding at first.

When I was <5, I was a firefighter for Halloween. Apparently my mom wanted me to stop bothering her and she told me to go fight a fire. Apparently plastic axes can break windows, at least thin ones on a greenhouse. That is what firefighters do though…

If by any chance you have tmobile, they have a coupon for free crazy bread with purchase of pizza every week, and occasionally $3 pizza’s coupons.

And if you’re a family all on tmobile… Whooohooooo!

I mean, which that’s a problem I guess, what banks don’t support checking the balance online these days? How often does anyone go to random atms to check their balance? Seems like a problem that banks don’t have enough reason to improve.

Depending on context, value is also often required. That can be in the form of nutrition, taste, flavor, preservation, or appearance. Take edible gold leaf, sugar free fairly nutrition free candies, spices, or hot sauce as examples. Their ingredients too, there’s wood fiber derivatives used as fillers sometimes.

On the flip side, a gold wedding band can pass through a digestive tract quite safely, and is materially identical to edible gold leaf. Generally not considered edible though. A sheaf of printer paper? Not edible. Some small paper wrappings, often edible. Similarly a marble would pass through with no danger unless chewed. In many ways safer than a very strong hot sauce or some baking ingredients. And yet…

Edible is quite a wiggly term.

This is a delight piece of work, and well worth the research needed to make it.

Sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand about strange low-stakes terminology opinions you’re passionate about.
I had a similarly passionate “what counts as a jumpsuit” debate not too long ago. The key difference in opinions was about sleeve length.

I will begrudgingly call a jumpsuit with short sleeves a jumpsuit, but once it has no sleeves at all it cannot hold the title anymore. Jumpsuits were designed as full body garments for jumping out of planes, fancy dress overalls just aren’t jumpsuits, regardless of the slow bastardization of the term fashion has allowed. There’s no great title for it, overalls shares a similar niche but not quite. Romper also comes close, but requires shorts, not full length legs.

Thanks for the rant.

The cool thing is that they’re floating because of gravity. Specially, the thing they’re floating in is heavier than they are, so the float medium gets pulled underneath the object.
