@nprofile…k95v ah, yeah I added Provenance. If there's something I should start with, let me know. I listen to audiobooks while I do my indoor cycling workouts. Always looking for recommendations!

@nprofile…k95v and questions. Were they whole like in Rocky? Or scrambled to mix with the port??? Is one better?

Book I'm listening to just said Major Taylor would have two raw eggs in port wine for dinner and one raw egg in port wine for breakfast 🤢

@nprofile…z5mg I've heard of it being noisier on RX in urban environments, but that is anecdotal from a friend in an urban environment who changed out his ladder line doublet for a coax fed EFHW and got noise improvements.

Lots of good signs today, but this was my favorite. #NoKings

@nprofile…ukrr you've probably already found exam and study tools... But if not: https://hamstudy.org/ is a great place to start.

@nprofile…ukrr welcome and AMA.
Out of curiosity, what country are you in? In the US, exams may be taken online and are run through clubs. The exam fees just go to the club, you may be able to find one that would waive or refund the exam fee for disabled people.

@nprofile…t6td Yea, I was thinking IPA, but wasn't sure if I should use electronic cleaner instead. I'll do the cleaning when I know I won't be running it for a bit so everything has a chance to dry out.
Mostly also wondering if this is common 🤷

2025-08-02 04:06:16 UTC

So what should I use to clean this stuff off my hot end fan. #3dprinting

So at night the earwigs in our garden crawl up to the tops of the carrot flowers. They don't seem to be eating or damaging the flowers. What's with this behavior? #gardening

Big lightning and thunder going off here in Bend. Red flag warning. There are strikes in the forests... Fingers crossed we don't get big fires.
Absolutely dumping rain here at home. #BendWX

@nprofile…20qw I spotted one on the lettuce a few weeks ago. It must've moved on. Unfortunately the garden centers here don't carry ladybugs and when I tried to mail order them last year they arrived mostly dead :(

2025-05-08 19:09:02 UTC

I think the best way to deal with the aphids on our lettuce is to just eat a lot of lettuce. #gardening

@nprofile…20qw Very nice! I've been printing mine in PETG. The 100% size is great for 26awg wire. What sizes are you going to use for the big bois?

2025-02-19 16:47:01 UTC

Hmm, I'm ready to do some production run 3d print tests, but the prints will take ~5 hours. That long really stinks up my office even with an air filter running next to the printer. Might be time to move the printer to our warehouse. #3dPrinting

If you enjoyed The Expanse, I highly recommend the new series by James S.A. Corey: The Captives War. The first book, The Mercy of Gods, was excellent. I'm looking forward to the next in the series. Oh, and if you like The Expanse audiobooks, Jefferson Mays narrates this one as well.
