I made some wooden butter knives about a year ago, have been meaning to make more. Mine aren’t quite as fancy as your but something about the feel of the wood in your hand is so nice

Weight loss scams hate this one weird trick!
If you drink cold water it’s like negative calories because you have to spend energy as it warms up to body temperature.

It’s not really teaching Boys to Scout, it’s a program that is Scouting for Boys who are likely to do well in situations similar to the military, albeit a less modern one than exists today.

The maximum amount of solar energy that reaches the ground is about 1000w per square meter.
Unless you circumvent the laws of physics to get like 10,000% efficiency there are no cities, towns, villages, or otherwise that are going to run off a postage stamp sized solar panel

We had a bob tailed void named Robert, the most loving and friendly cat I’ve ever met. Literally the only things he cared about were food and being loved on.
Only lived 5 years, congestive heart failure. Apparently he wasn’t a true bob and the mutation that causes the shortened tail can also cause other health issues. issues

I know one anecdote doesn’t invalid proper scientific research but … erections and even orgasm is not impossible on MDMA. I (a guy) have definitely had a bunch of sex on MDMA, not always to completion but sometimes.

The paper you linked states this at the end of the introduction, emphasis mine:

The phenomenological features of the psychological state induced by MDMA ** show some similarities** with features of the post-orgasmic state.
…
Here, we ** present the hypothesis ** that the impairment of sexual parameters after MDMA may be mediated by increased prolactin."

Every time I see that name I can’t help but pronounce it pene-lope instead of pen-elo-pe

This is like the third time I’ve seen this post today, all in unrelated posts that just happen to be the top posts of the day.

Don’t feed the trolls, don’t fall for crypto scams

I got the whimsy to make a couple wooden butter knives after breaking one we got from an estate sale. Honestly some of my favorite utensils, although it’s partially because I hand crafted them

Oh man, flashbacks to an ancient meme.

Heat pumps absolutely do not need to connect indoors and outdoors, every fridge and freezer is just a heat pump connected to a box.

Ive had a ventless heat pump clothes dryer, about 5 years ago, maybe 6. Technically it made the room it was in slightly colder while it ran, but that heat from my house was just concentrated inside the box and then allowed to escape back into my house.

I also think there have been advances in heat pump technology either with the refrigerant used to transfer the heat or with cascading systems that run multiple loops with different heat capacity so that one loop takes room temp water to “warm” temps and a secondary loop takes the “warm” water to hot.

That’s not how inflation works. “Worth” is a pretty variable term, “buying power” is typically a better description.
Think of it like this, using somewhat made up numbers. In the 50s you could get a cup of coffee for 10 cents from a diner. That same cup of coffee in 2025 costs like 2.50 dollars. Is the coffee “worth” more in 2025? No, it’s the same 8oz cup of coffee but the money has less buying power

I thought I had read something that said there never was a genetic or even chemical difference between sativa and indica, just the terpenes are different. Like how there’s all these different dog “breeds” but if you compare genetics they’re like 99% the same.

I don’t know why but retail horror stories are some of my favorites

It was a reality TV show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_World

And a grub hoe, basically a pick axe with one side a spike and the other side a flat blade. Pick to break the dirt up then shovel to move it out of the way.

Technically it’s the opposite of “I made this” because I’m removing something nature made, but I’m making progress on digging out a cluster of stumps

I love that guys channel, he does some crazy cool stuff with things you can easily source as an at home consumer.
I think my favorites are making cooling fibers with a cotton candy machine and the micro-camper build he did on a zero turn lawn mower.
