Why can't you use your own urine? I know I say this all the time but what makes cat urine so special?

Subjunctive posted:Yep, precisely so. So, I tried these. Still got them, weren't too cheap! But I figured, hey, for life ...sure. Kiiiinda underwhelmed! They do have metal grinding components which was nice. But two things jump out as not great. 1. The too nob threads in the way I normally use it, and it's knurling and placement is such that it's always being tightened under regular use. 2. Which effects the output size of course, but even that just seems really inconsistent and light. The grain size changes but just seems like I'm grinding for minutes to pepper a few chicken thighs. Oh well.

I got the Insinkerator hot/cold water dispenser because "gently caress it, while we're there" and my wife asked for it. It is pretty disappointing how cheap they went on the connections; from your normal stop valve you adapt down to a 1/4 tube with a compression fitting, which goes into a bite fitting on the filter, and out another one. 1 of the lines from the dispenser down to the tank has an actual cam lock connector on it, the other two are just tubing that goes over a ridged nipple. Not even any clamps. I hose clamped the latter two, but I'm not happy with the bite fittings at the filter on either side. I just don't trust them with a pressurized line.

That’s why (some of us) said if you want lots of ground pepper get a Unicorn Magnum. Peugeots are pretty but Magnums are workhorses.

The Peugeot has been empty for more than a decade at this point. It's pretty but it's not even loving close in terms of usability.

I have the opposite experience. I retired my magnum for the peugeot. Peugeot output isn't quite as high but is pretty good (I find myself needing to refill it a lot) and the grind is much more fine. To the user whose peugeot is giving them trouble, I know the top needs to be screwed on a lot tighter than it seems. Otherwise not sure, maybe a lemon hard to say.

That’s always been the knock on the magnum, that it can’t grind as fine as the Peugot. I guess I like it coarse.

Bummer. Orange allows me to find it quickly, as generally if I'm trying to temp something, I want to temp it now and not after some digging through the drawer it's in.

If you have a thermapen you might as well get the silicone case that glows in the dark and has magnets on the back. Mine was a gift and it’s great being able to stick the thermometer on the side of the fridge at the very top where I always know where to find it, especially since my kitchen now only has 3 drawers.

So I've been upgrading basically everything in my kitchen via info from the thread and it's time to work on organizing the pantry. I enjoy OXO but not necessarily the prices always....any other brands worth checking out for pantry containers? Cereal, flour all the usual stuff Everyone on YouTube seems to all love OXO or canning jars

lots of options. i’ve been trying to increasing use glass instead of plastic. i like the anchor hocking containers generally but there are lots of options there too. rubbermaid still makes a lot of decent plastics stuff.

Hey, fuckos Rite-Aid ice cream scoop guns are available again https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YYWR99T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 edit: apparently they're not the same as the actual ice cream scoops the shops use, they're thinner and made of steel, the real ones are thicker and made of aluminum?

My wife just got a carbonator (what do you call them? A SodaStream?). Anyways, I was looking at it, and, in essence, it's just two fittings and a valve. Is there a tiny version of these?

I mean there's also the high cost per dose 8 gram cartridges which you can get a very very small setup if space is more important than price. Keyword to find those is "siphon". If you have a cabinet you can store the 5 lb tank I highly recommend that setup though!

But yeah, the tradeoff would be having to have a co2 tank to store somewhere. yeah, although if you aren't into sitting there and shaking, the caps require leaving things connected for a while ime. i'm not a huge fan of the sodastreams wrt my setup because i don't think they carbonate as well. we bought a chest freezer and set a thermocouple up to keep it from freezing and just hooked up a tap to some water kegs (which are themselves connected to the co2). as one gets emptied, we switch connections and the new tank is carbonated within a day or so.

That all leaking in 5 minutes would be bad, but you'd hear it. There may be a dangerous leak rate that would be slow enough not to hear but fast enough to accumulate against our HVAC, maybe. In any case, it's downstairs in a closet and we sleep upstairs so no risk at all for us. Once my kid can walk and defeat child safety door knobs I'll lock it like my liquor. E: the most likely injury is a minor cut from plastic shrapnel if you reuse a bottle 100 times. Another concern would be rupture and projectile tank, so keeping it strapped upright is important and only let professionals refill it.

Steve Yun posted:CO2 buildup in your blood is pretty painful, I wonder if you’d wake up first before passing out i think it depends my guess is the only time it’s going to be so dangerous as to be fatal is if you’re in a confined space and there’s explosive decompression of the cylinder such that it forces the o2 out of your lungs. the same could happen with pretty much any non o2 gas. in that case you might not wake up quickly enough. in labs we were always told it could knock you out super quick but of course you’re already awake in that scenario. if it’s a slow leak that generally raises the concentration i’d argue there’s a chance you could wake up given our physiological response to co2 buildup

I'm a respiratory therapist and deal a lot with the effects of high/low CO2 in blood. I wouldn't say it's painful, you would just feel very short of breath and then after a point it would make you sleepy as it rose further up and started to lower your level of consciousness. Eventually you'd pass out (has to do with hydrogen ions and the brain) and die from the lack of oxygen if you're still in a space where there isn't any/enough. This is a bit different from something like a propane leak which to my understanding doesn't enter your bloodstream at all but displaces the nitrogen/oxygen you'd normally breathe to get CO2 out and O2 in. e: CO2 diffuses extremely quickly and essentially won't build up to any dangerous concentration so long as any air is circulating in any way. I use CO2 detection devices at work with ventilators etc and even in a room full of people preparing to intubate (imagine a room the size of a large bathroom with 6 people in it) it reads 0mmHg unless you literally exhale directly through it.
