Products You Never Knew Existed
Menstrual Cups.
Re-usable, and disposable.
:speechls:
Usually you have to be Catholic to see blood in a cup.
How the heck you even about this product is what I'm wondering. :eyebrow:
Next time you take a photo wash the darn thing before posting it! :rolleyes:
;)
The Dutch Cap is, if you'll pardon the expression, bloody expensive.
I have used the disposable (Instead), and they aren't all that reliable. Difficult to install and messy on the removal. Only thing I can think of as potentially ickier is "Glad Rags."
Actually, I know someone that uses one of these because she hates using tampons. She apparently is happy with it.

Ah, teh wonderful, wonderful internetz.
Another name for this item: diva cup.
If I had to use one, I'd dress it out like a Pimp Cup.
I've used those. they're nice, but can leak if you don't get them seated just right.
I use one of these. It's a bitch getting one long enough to reach to work and back.
Actually, I know someone that uses one of these because she hates using tampons. She apparently is happy with it.
If that's so, she either hasn't much of a flow, or doesn't go out in public much. The Dutch Cap type needs to be washed before reinstalling, so you need a sink right there in front of the toilet so you can lean over without standing up and run it under water. The Instead has a tendency to leak under proper usage, and splatter on removal.
You guys had to go and bring it up. Deal with it
The user is...let's just say she's...a character, and leave it at that.
Can we chenge the subject to something less gross, like diarrhea or snot?
Snot like this is all that gross.
poor men, afraid of a little menstrual blood. "only women bleed" - uh, or is that "breed"?
the cups are good for sleeping on heavy days. You have to change them in the shower or tub, though, otherwise, they are a mess.
And have you heard of the sponges? there are special menstrual sponges, which you then wash and reuse. Save the planet against the evils of wastepaper and chlorine. All that.

oh, and for the record? SO GLAD THAT'S ALL OVER FOR ME! yay menopausal-hood! :p:
Like the saying goes, "Never trust anything that bleeds for 7 days and lives!"
:D
I'd rather not die from toxic shock syndrome, thanks velly much: the reason so many things were taken off market.
Sorry, I'm a woman, but all that crap is just GROSS. Yeah it's a fact of life, that doesn't mean I need to swim around in it. :lol:
You can take birth control pills without a break and stop having periods entirely. I think there are a few options along that line nowadays.
sure, let's completely fuck with the hormones and risk blood clots and cancer and all.....

:lol2:

As far as I understand, its no riskier taking the pills without a period than it is with. In fact, my last gyno did that. I'm on seasonale, so only 4 periods a year, and they're short/light at that. If you get an IUD like Mirena, it can also stop your periods altogether. Are you against all birth control methods that use a type of hormone, or just when used to stop periods? There is no increase in risk to take a continuous pill vs a standard pill. There are benefits too of taking the pill. Although your risk cervical cancer increases, taking the pill reduces the risk of cancers of the ovary and uterus. Also decreases the risk of developing RA, as my sister found out after the fact, and developing fibroid muscle tumors, which was the cause of my mom's hysterectomy.There are decades of studies on these types of methods, and there is no evidence that shows that monthly bleeding is necessary.
Yes, I'm not a big fan of mucking with hormones at all. I was mostly being facetious, though. You could also fix monthly periods with a hysterectomy. Doesn't mean you should. It's part of nature, leave it alone unless it makes your life unliveable, in which case do what you need, but please, for the love of fsm, don't share it with me :lol:

I think men should be able to go into a store and buy tampons with out feeling stupid. I do not believe anyone should discuss the ins and outs of anyone's menstruation at the dinner table. It's great that we no longer make women ring bells and yell "unclean", but I'm happy for the acceptability of the issue not to go too far in the other direction.
Everyone poops, but if you talk about it at our dinner table, we make you take you plate into the kitchen and eat in there. So far it's only happened to my son, but I think it's a good rule.
I've bought tampons for my wife when picking up other things at the store and she needed them. Didn't feel dumb about it.
It's not like anyone's thinking 'oh my why does that man need tampons?' most think 'what a cool husband/boyfriend.'
Men are liberated too.

My cow orker got off the pill immediately after the stroke diagnosis.
If you get an IUD like Mirena, it can also stop your periods altogether.
Yeah, Mirena stopped my periods... but only after I bled for the first 6 weeks straight.
I'm on Implanon and haven't had a period for six years. Lovely.
All medical people I have spoken to say it's actually good for my body not to create and destroy the lining of my womb needlessly every month.
Have a hysterectomy?
Erm, no thanks.
I've known enough of women who have (none as elective surgery).
Three months off work it a lot more unpleasant than 10 minutes every three years to have a small incision in my arm and a new implant added. It doesn't even require a Doctor, simply a trained Nurse.
I'll take my chances on long term effects in the way I do by being overweight. It's a gamble, but an informed one.

Envious. Seems I'm starting that 5 to 7 to 10 year trek and I don't know if I can stand it that long. The moods!
Did you gals take hormones? I worry about me being a smoker. Natural remedies you'd recommend?

It's my first time to see this head dropper thing. Here is the product that maybe you haven't seen yet; try checking Inflatable Crescent-Shaped Shampoo, in

I just manufactured my own bent spoon with a piece of dowel. I hope it's not patented or I'm gonna get sued.
I think you're okay, because even if you used an ice tea spoon, yours won't reach the bottom of the glass.

Welcome, spader. Hopefully you're not just here to sell us crescent shaped shampoos, but that is a brilliant device. crazynurse has been complaining about not being able to wash her hair. I have twice described to her a process that is very old-school nurses' aide stuff, the "washrag shampoo," which takes some time (fifteen minutes or so), but uses real shampoo instead of that no-rinse stuff.
I can envision some problems with the inflatable, though. You WILL end up spilling water on the bed, and probably also the patient, when you pull it off the bed, even with the drain.

Works for a while, maybe... for the rest of us, there is
ThoseShirts.com.
The rest of us, you see, realize that the demonizing of the Republicans fails by overreaching, and that the behavior of the Republicans or other conservative groups really does not match the claims made by the hard Left. Which leads us to conclude they are Liars.

Just learned this weekend that my local Cash and Carry offers whole pigs. I'm gonna get a 25 pounder (head included--keep that Jarvis lunatic away from me) and cook it on the smoker.
another trip to Cash and Carry this morning, and I went into the meat cooler and found a 20 pound cut of beef (beef chuck roll or something). I really only wanted to check it for size. Twenty-fiive pounds of animal will easily fit into my smoker/grill. So now I just need to find some people to cook for, because there's no way I can eat twenty pounds of pork, and I can't freeze it, no more room in the freezer. I'll cook it up and give it away.
Yes, there will be pictures.

Grav I saw some gorgeous hats today.
My acquisitive little fingers fingered them, and their price tags, seeking to justify a purchase...
But I behaved.
I do not need a hat.
I have a hat.
I wear it about five times a year and even than have to take it off if I'm walking as my head gets too hot.
The hat I have, I bought via the internet and have never seen anyone else wearing. Even if I could afford and justify one of the hats I saw today, I would see them on much younger, slimmer girls and feel ashamed.
So.
I'll leave the R2D2 hat and just take the chap underneath.
I don't already have one of those.
Is that glatt under that hat?
It's the glatt in the hat.

The Vortex Tunnel.
Who knew.
This is possibly the coolest thing in the whole world.
I went to a Haunted House last night (Old Bloodworth Manor).
After some twisty maze stuff, and a mad scientist, I was ushered into this area by either a small child or a dwarf. I'm not sure which.
And then ... wow. Just wow.
It was like being in that episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, the one with Andre the Giant as Bigfoot.
After going through the haunt once, I was able to go back and play with the tunnel. A lot. Like for twenty minutes, playing with the visual/spatial effects. Leaning toward the direction of rotation is more disorienting than away from it, and if you pick a fixed point straight ahead of you, the sensation of movement is even more disorienting.
I have great kinesthetic sense, and was unable to walk a straight line through it.
WOW...They get expensive as all hell if'n you want wheels...I mean $7-8,000 is plenty, but, $24,000 for rims?
Very cool though.
My friends are REALLY into the haunted house thing. They can also take the Vortex Tunnel to events and set it up without the haunted house parts. I don't know if they'll actually end up doing that, though.
The video on that site really doesn't do the experience justice.
My friend went through it with her macaw.

He was a sales mangler here when I started. He used to complain about getting monkey butt. You get it from sweating ... getting in and out of cars, walking around the hot blacktop in August... and then coming inside in the AC and that sweat drying... then repeating that several times a day.
I used to get it real bad between my upper thighs when I was a Masonry Laborer. It hurts like fuck. adult diaper rash. people look at you funny if you cry though.

Ahhh....didn't know what monkey butt was.
Also known as a gaulded ass (sp?).
I thought it was called "swamp ass."
Prolly same thing.
BTW, I Googled "gaulded ass" and post #196 is the second result.
I got no info on any of these. Found w/StumbleUpon.

That seems like a messy way to have a shot and a beer.
Maybe it's like one of those tavern puzzles, where you have to figure out the secret way to turn it into a Boilermaker.
If the point is merely a shot and a beer back, then it looks like an uncomfortable way to hold both ... perhaps it's intended for people without a lot of cabinet space?
I do like the rocking chair/cradle. Nice idea, but I'd make both larger and more comfortable.

For Big Money, a New Option in Big TVs: OLED
LG Electronics says it's planning to sell a 55-inch set based on organic light-emitting diodes,
or OLEDs, and [COLOR="DarkRed"]only 4 millimeters thick, and weighs about 16 lbs.[/COLOR]
For flat-panel TVs, the choice for years has been between plasma and LCD.
In the coming year, there'll be another choice, at least for those prepared to spend big.
The South Korean company is set to show it off
at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which starts Jan. 10.
I won't even price one of those for ten years.

This is a bit cheap: 4: 6*.¯66
A bit cheap again:
3: sqrt(6/.¯66)

So that leaves 12.
Super cheap:

6: 6^(6/6) or (6*6)/6
7: 6+(6/6)
8: (6+6) * .¯6
9: 6/.¯66

it's a notation that means repeat what follows the overbar. so, the decimal notation for 1/3 would be 0.33333333..forever. Since I don't have the easy chops to make the bar appear OVER the 3, I use the overbar (as a separate character) to precede the 3, but it means the same.

from the artist's etsy link:
This is a completely hand-made by me, crocheted hat made to look like a breast when worn by a baby/toddler/child, while nursing! It's made of 100% organic cotton, and is very soft and warm. You have the option of a pink nipple or a brown one and I can also make it in a different skin tone, or size, if you'd like. These come from a smoke-free, pet-free house.
****Make sure you let me know which colors and size you need, I usually go by the child's clothing size. Colors may vary slightly from photos****
Enjoy!
Depends on the baby, apparently. $15 plus $4.95 shipping.
You've got to be somebody's baby.
Or, find a baby with a head the same size as yours, order the beanie for the baby, but trade candy for the beanie when the hat comes in the mail. That should be easy.
Plus, the artist doesn't say she needs a baby, she needs a size. Certainly you have a size, don't you?

1/9 = .¯1

This has been messing with my head for some time.
(i'm having trouble with the notation. I'll write r to mean recurring last digit.)
okay, the argument is:
1/9 = .1r
2/9 = .2r
3/9 = .3r
etc
8/9 = .8r
so
9/9 = .9r
But since any x/x = 1
9/9 = 1
hence .9r = 1
Hmm. Troubling.
Intuitive reply.
No it bloody doesn't. See, this is 1. It starts with a 1. That over there is 0.9r. It starts with either a zero or a nine, depending, but either way, it is different from 1. Any fool can see that.
Think of the number line. Zero in the middle, negatives off to the left, positives off to the right. .9r would be immediately to the left of 1. We zoom in, closer and closer; .9r is always abutting 1 on 1's left, but never quite in the same place. Keep zooming, it is always there.
Okay, that's not very convincing if you weren't already convinced.
Here's a better counter argument.
0.9 < 1
0.99 < 1
0.999 < 1
0.9999 < 1
etc
0.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 < 1
Observation: adding more nines does not change the fact that it is less than one, no matter how many you add.
so,
0.9r < 1.
Hence, 0.9r =/= 1.
So, apparently, 0.9 both is and is not equal to one.
Man, I think we just accidentally the whole mathematics. Or my head.
By coincidence, I added the explanation to my sig line just a day or so ago while exploring IM's thread on Number Associations.

See, kings can work together !:rolleyes:
Hi Zen,
If 0.̅9̅ were not equal to 1, there would have to be a difference d.
For any value d you can find an exponent n, so that 1/10^(n) >= d > 1/10^(n+1)
e.g. d = 0.0002
0.001 >= d > 0.0001
But if that value d were the difference, then it is obvious that
(1 - d) < 1 - 10^(n+1) < 0.̅9̅
e.g. 0.9998 < 0.9999 < 0.̅9̅
So, obviously the difference is less than d=0.0002 or any d you choose.
:3_eyes: :D

How can you tell they're not in the same place? There's no space between them. No matter how much you zoom in, that space will never open up.

Infinity is different. For example:
No matter how many finite numbers you add together, you will never reach infinity - unless you add an infinite number of numbers.
Likewise, no matter how many nines you add to 0.9999..., you will never reach one - unless you add an infinite number of nines.

The infinite number of nines will still be less than one. You'll have to
remove the decimal point completely to get to one. As in, a decimal point, then a billion nines is still less than one.

And in response to
unless it's an infinite number
I think this is an impossible construction.
Infinity is not a number. It is a concept defined in terms of numbers but it is not itself a number. No number is infinite.
Right. Infinity is not a number. So all examples of a billion nines, or a billion zeros followed by one, do not apply.
So if 0.0 is followed by infinite zeros, you can't put a one after it. There is no "after it". 0.0r1 = 0.0r = 0.
Therefore 1 - 0.9r = 0.0r = 0.
One divided by infinity = 0.0r = 0.
So all examples of a bazillion nines, or a bazillion zeros followed by one, do not apply.
ftfy
Ok, thats all I got.
I'm not convinced by that.
We define i as the square root of minus one, despite the fact that there is no number which can be multiplied by itself to produce minus one.
I see no reason to not define "infinitesimality" as 0.0recurring01.
Mathematicians just make shit up all the time, but they call it "stipulating". Why can't I? :p
Let's do some math with 0.0r1
10 x 0.0r1 = 0.0r1
(10 x 0.0r1) - (1 x 0.0r1) = (9 x 0.0r1)
0.0r1 - 0.0r1 = ( 9 x 0.0r1)
0 = ( 9 x 0.0r1)
0/9 = 0.0r1
0 = 0.0r1
So even if we stipulated that putting a one "after" infinite zeros was syntactically meaningful, it would still equal zero.
We define i as the square root of minus one, despite the fact that there is no number which can be multiplied by itself to produce minus one.
That's why it's an imaginary number.
Mathematicians just make shit up all the time, but they call it "stipulating". Why can't I? :p

Take home these 14-ounces of delicious unicorn meat, canned for your convenience Imported from a small independent cannery in County Meath, Ireland. Crunchy horn bits in every bite- an excellent source of Calcium. Tastes like rotisserie chicken but with a hint of marshmallow sweetness. Easily spreadable for sandwiches, hors d'oeuvres, and more. Sparkly meat lends the unmistakable air of class and sophistication to your parties! Unlike other meats, unicorn fat is polyunsaturated and lowers your LDL cholesterol. Not yet approved by the USDA or FDA, but the nuns have eaten it for centuries and they're healthy as horses. Okay, for real: you can't eat this. It's a dismembered stuffed unicorn in a can. The bottom of the tin is easily removable to gain access to the mini dead unicorn inside. No can opener needed! Unicorns, as we all know, frolic all over the world, pooping rainbows and marshmallows wherever they go. What you don't know is that when unicorns reach the end of their lifespan, they are drawn to County Meath, Ireland. The Sisters at Radiant Farms have dedicated their lives to nursing these elegant creatures through their final days. Taking a cue from the Kobe beef industry, they massage each unicorn's coat with Guinness daily and fatten them on a diet comprised entirely of candy corn. As the unicorn ages, its meat becomes fatty and marbled and the living bone in the horn loses density in a process much like osteoporosis. The horn's outer layer of keratin begins to develop a flavor very similar to candied almonds. Blending the crushed unicorn horn into the meat adds delightful, crispy flavor notes in each bite. We are confident you will find a world of bewilderment in every mouthful of scrumptious unicorn meat.
Hah! I bought that for my niece at Christmas. She's a veggie :p
Inside the can is a plush unicorn that's been cut up into body parts. The 'joints' show red and white at the ends of the portions, and on the head the tongue lolls out the side of its mouth.

A lot of those oversized candies are disappointing, because they screw up the coating chocolate to interior content balance.

I'm liking that Snickers bar. :D Someone on youtube said he found some at a CVS (he posted 2 months ago). I'm gonna check it out. :p:
The Snickers Slice ‘n Share is 16 ounces, while a standard Snickers bar is 2.07 ounces (so 8 times bigger). It’s also 9 times the price. The best value is probably to buy the snack size, which are about $1.25 for eight little bars totally 5 ounces - which comes out to $4.00 a pound instead of $7.99 a pound. But that’s simply not magnificent enough for gifting or wowing your guests...
The bar is protected in a paperboard tray and came out looking pretty good. It’s 9.5 inches long, about one inch high and 2.5” wide. A standard Snickers is only 1” wide.

I saw a youtube video of a guy slicing the snickerdildo. he said he paid $9.99 for it. It is equivalent to 8 regular snickers. Looking on Amazon, there is one available for $26.95.

[SIZE="4"]Guitar Pee Urinal Turns User Into A Music
Whiz[/SIZE]
[ATTACH]38926[/ATTACH]
[SIZE="1"]By Eric Pfeiffer[/SIZE]
There's no denying it, this is a clear case of yellow journalism.
Billboard Brasil has created a new musically interactive urinal that strums guitar chords while someone goes to the bathroom. The Guitar Pee is designed to look like an actual electric guitar and plays a unique set of notes with each use.
In fact, it even records your musical output. CNET reports that once you've flushed, the urinal generates a personalized number, allowing listeners to stream the user-generated content from the Guitar Pee website.
The novelty instrument apparently was created as a tie-in with the company's marketing slogan, "Music. We know it comes from everywhere," and will be featured in bars across San Paolo.
The Guitar Pee is actually not the first attempt to create a more interactive bathroom experience.
In April, Sega Games unveiled the Toylet, a urinal that offers users a video game distraction while going to the bathroom. The Toylet isn't cheap, reportedly costing $1,748 for each urinal and more than $100 for each individual game."
While it's technically not quite as portable, we're guessing most gamers will stick with their Nintendo Wii.
You know urine a crazy place when you see that.

You know, I believe they
were used panties, now that I think of it.
They're shrink wrapped so they shouldn't get hung up any worse than anything else... the shoes, not the used panties.
I bought a pair of flipflops from The Pound Shop last year.
Well actually Mum bought them, to go to and from the shower block when we were on holiday.
I am still wearing them and she borrows them when she goes to have her toenails painted.
So by my reckoning, $20 flip flops better last me 13 years at current exchange rates...
Not knocking fancy footwear (anything over £10 is fancy for me).
I take a UK size 6, feel free to send me all kinds of expensive flip flops for my 40th birthday. 1st July dontcha know.
Or used underwear of course ;)
I used to baulk at spending more than a couple of bucks on flip-flops, but after I scored a really good pair on clearance and now I wear them all the time, I can't go back to the cheapies. My good pair just wore out and the only replacements I could find were $15 crocs brand. Near killed me to buy them........ but i know I wont slip on deck and they have great arch and heel support. So comfy. And not likely to break at an inopportune moment.
Teva makes awesome flip-flops, monster, if you want to shy away from the Crocs.
Hm, thanks, I just looked them up and the ones that might do what I need them to do on deck were $60 and up! :eek: figures.... :lol:

Sales of ‘wet dog’ perfume soar
A canine-inspired scent for humans has proved an unlikely hit online.
Eau de Mutt, which replicates the scent of a dog's coat when wet, has become an unlikely bestseller online.
<snip>
Scotland-based company Moggy, who are responsible for manufacturing the Eau de Mutt,
believe that the success of the product is down to how dog-obsessed consumers have become.
Priced at the barkgainous sum of £15 for 50ml, celebrity perfumers such as Katy Perry and Britney Spears
could soon see their glamorous, sickly-sweet scents pushed out of the market.
Wait, I thought April First was already over.

Ever have a sudden urge for crisp-crusted, ooey-gooey, cheesy pizza? You want it STAT. Not in the time it takes to preheat the oven to 500 degrees for a frozen pizza. Not in the 20 minutes it takes for the pizza delivery guy to arrive. And certainly not in however many hours it would take to make homemade dough and marinara sauce.
Get ready for Let's Pizza, a pizza vending machine that promises to deliver a piping hot pizza pie made from scratch in less than three minutes.
The brainchild of Italian entrepreneur Claudio Torghel, the machine will be distributed by A1 Concepts, based out of the Netherlands. It's expected to hit our shores later this year, according to the industry website Pizza Marketplace. The company is expected to set up its U.S. headquarters in Atlanta.
What is remarkable about the new machine is that it truly makes pizzas to order, including kneading and rolling out the dough. (The above video says the leavening takes place in a blistering hot infra-red oven.) There are more than 200 toppings from which to choose. The machine can even accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions, such as those for vegetarian and Kosher diets.
"Let's Pizza is a huge success in Europe and especially in Italy. That was proof for us that we have a very good pizza," A1 Concepts Chief Executive Ronald Rammer told Pizza Marketplace.
The pizza arrives in an insulated take-away box. The machine takes cash and credit cards. A 10-inch pizza will sell for about $5.95.
Rammer said Americans could expect to see the new machines at malls, airports, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, universities, gas stations and bus stations.
But perhaps the single best thing about Let's Pizza, according to the above video? The lack of the human touch.
At several points in the above presentation, the makers stress cleanliness: Your "healthy and genuine pizza" is "untouched by human hands" and made in a "human-free environment."
That would sound a little bit weird ... if we weren't drooling over the notion of piping hot pizza made from scratch.
Via the
LA Times. TOTALLY beats a flip-flop machine.
Looks grim.
I can't imagine it being any worse than Dominos or Pizza Hut or Papa Johns, and potentially way tastier (or at least more convenient than less-tasty). Better topping selection, and fuckin' INSTANT as HELL.
Unless the pizza vending machine is located right outside your door, commercial delivery pizza wins. I don't want to drive to get substandard pizza.

sandal socks
I think you're wrong, BigV, and here's why:
They are not socks made for wearing under sandals. They are socks made to look like sandles with socks underneath.
But that means they are, primarily, socks. Within the category of socks, they are modified as being sandal-like.
In English, the chief category goes at the end, and modifiers get stacked in front. I wear blue pants, not pants blue.
I think these are sandal socks.
Or sandal-look socks.
Or maybe we should just call them "nerd feet" and be done with it.
We will have to agree to disagree. :lol:
In product, ingredient lists, we in the US know the first ingredient is the main component.
The most important role for a sock to be is to be a sock that conforms to your sock needs. Oh. You're wearing sandles? These socks will be virtually unnoticeable.

I've seen cows standing around a big tub of water in a pasture, drinking away.
I had never seen one of these before yesterday.
[ATTACH]40696[/ATTACH]
It's clearly for the cows, and they clearly use it. I don't know how they learn to use it though. They press their noses against the balls, and press them down into their holes, into the water. They have to use a bit of force, because the balls have buoyancy and are not small. It's kind of hard to push them in. But once you push them down, there's plenty of water down in there. When you let go of them, they pop right back up into place, so the inside has to be shaped to guide the balls back into the hole.
I'm not sure what the point is. Prevent evaporation? Keep small animals and deer out? Keep it clean? The water was actually kind of dirty with cud and cow backwash in it.
How do they learn that there is water in there? The younger ones can see the older ones doing it, I'm sure, but how was that first cow trained?
At Miami-Jacobs.
Had to look that one up. They must just be local to you. Are they a joke, or are they actually good?

They probably left them out there for a few weeks without the balls at first.
Those boys have cow-spit hands now. Eurgh.

I Googled it.
We're both wrong. It keeps the water from freezing over in the winter.
Interesting.
Though it does the stuff we said too.
In old cow byres here in Scotland I've seen cow operated taps for drinking water in the stalls. Above a cow-mouth-sized drinking dish there is a large metal flap which the cow has to press to get the water to flow into the bowl. How they learnt I don't know ...
That's neat. I'd like to see one doing that.
Reading Chocky (John Wyndham) I remember Chocky asking Matthew why, if cows can work out when to gather together to be milked, they can't learn how to open the gate. Even at ten I was able to answer "because it has no benefit to them".
I am still trying to train Diz to understand that head butting at night does not equal food. And despite how much he dislikes the sound of the alarm it really does mean 7 minutes of snuggle and then food.
I Googled it.

And I was just able to look up
this particular model. And at the risk of looking way to excited about this, it's really pretty cool.
You run a water line to this thing, and a float controlled valve, much like a float in the back of your toilet, fills the tank from below. Since you are running the water to it underground, below the frost line, it doesn't freeze in the winter, even in cold climates. The livestock just have to be actively using it so that the cold water in the tank is constantly being replaced by fresh water from the relatively warm underground pipe. In the summer, that same underground pipe means the water is cooler for the cows. And the balls keep the water temperature fairly constant.
The one I saw was about 300 yards uphill from the nearest building that had an obvious water supply, but I suppose you can run a hose underground for 300 yards. There was a dilapidated shed about 80 yards from this watering tank, and maybe the plumbing came from that shed.
I'm still not shaking your hand during Mass.
I don't blame you.
But you want to hear something gross?
My mom grew up in dairy farm country, and she would lick the salt licks left out for the cows. She also would say that she would deliberately step in warm cow patties while barefoot because it felt good, but I don't know if that's true. I believe the salt lick thing, but not the cow poop one.

...In the summer, that same underground pipe means the water is cooler for the cows...
I really wonder. Do cows care about the temperature of the water they drink?
Like, I'm fairly sure my puppy never cared if his water was cold or warm. He in fact seemed to prefer fairly tepid water to chilled water.
How would you go about trying to scientifically prove "enjoyment", not mere preference but actual sensual pleasure, from animals' reaction to various temperatures of accessible water?
There might be very good reasons why we would have evolved positive reactions to chilled beverage that other animals may not have evolved. And even if they show tendencies towards, or preferences for, certain temperatures of water, can we show ways that they actually ENJOY or otherwise have positive "emotional" reactions to having chilled water versus room-temperature water?
I'm mildly skeptical of, but mostly down with, the idea that animals PREFER colder water. Cold water is a good indicator of fresher spring-fed sources of water. But... while on my most animal-loving level, I want to equate that with ENJOYMENT OF colder water, is there any way to empirically show the sort of emotional enjoyment that we feel towards having cold drinks, in other animals?
Like, i'm serious - if anyone can help me understand, i'm not asking in a rhetorical, no-they-don't sort of way - i'm legitimately dead curious as to whether we can be sure that they really do have the sort of emotional concept of 'enjoying' something they prefer that we do.
That's nothing. How do you know when you see the color that we agree is called blue, you are seeing the same thing that I see when I see the color that we agree is called blue. Maybe my blue is more vivid than yours. How will we ever know? And we can communicate.
Like, I'm fairly sure my puppy never cared if his water was cold or warm. He in fact seemed to prefer fairly tepid water to chilled water.
Your puppy never cared... but had a preference?
I think animals would prefer cooler water in the summer simply because it's so dang hot outside. (And, by extension, rather warmer water in the winter.) But I live in a state where the animals sometimes die of heatstroke unless the ranchers go out there and hose them down repeatedly. Maybe in more northern climates the temperature doesn't matter so much.
Not so!
Why the pesky blighter! Send in the badgers I say.
Like, i'm serious - if anyone can help me understand, i'm not asking in a rhetorical, no-they-don't sort of way - i'm legitimately dead curious as to whether we can be sure that they really do have the sort of emotional concept of 'enjoying' something they prefer that we do.
You can have empirical evidence of preference, by giving access to both, and checking frequency of use. You can have empirical evidence that brain areas associated with pleasure get activated by certain experiences. But, like glatt said, you can't be certain that
other humans experience what you consider pleasure, let alone creatures with a different brain, different sensory apparattus, and drastically different life experiences.
But, if you consider the hypothesis that pleasure is just one way of reinforcing beneficial behaviors in the Rube Goldberg structure of the brain, then a marked preference (reinforced behavior) might be evidence for what the animal would experience as pleasure, if there were no other behavior reinforcers (ie pain when choosing the other alternative) detected.
eta: As for the puppy, one possible behavior modifier to look out for might be aversion to novelty in consumption. If the puppy's water is almost always lukewarm, it may be surprised and suspicious if the water is cold one day. Dogs aren't usually known for being particularly picky, but it would have to be something to rule out if an experiment were attempted.
Ok. Here's what I'm getting from this discussion:
Ibram has pondered the sensuality of cattle.

New vest inflates when you receive Likes on Facebook
A group of scientists at MIT have developed a new vest
that you can link to your Facebook account.
Why would you want to link a vest, of all things, to your Facebook account?
Because when people “Like” something that you’ve posted,
the vest automatically inflates. <snip>
That sounds awfully weird at first, but there’s actually a rather touching reason for its existence.
The idea of this vest – which has been dubbed Like-A-Hug –
is to simulate the feeling of receiving a hug from your friends.
“The vest inflates when friends ‘Like’ a photo, video, or status update
on the wearer’s wall, thereby allowing us to feel the warmth, encouragement,
support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs,” designer Melissa Chow
writes on her website. Chow developed the vest with Andy Payne and Phil Seaton at the MIT Media Lab.
But wait, because it gets even better – by squeezing and deflating your vest,
you can make the vest of the person who Liked your post inflate, essentially giving them a hug back.

In point of fact, they are not effective, as numerous reviews state. Maybe some of the dark wind blows through the filter and is neutralized, but like the dreary mist bringing forth horrors in that Stephen King movie, so too do your butt yawns tend to spread and encompass a vast swath of real estate. The only real way this idea could work would be if, instead of making it a pad for your underwear, it was more like a cigarette filter for your ass and you applied it directly to the hole, like some kind of deranged monocle right there at ground zero where nothing can escape, just looking out and getting fogged up every so often. But of course that's hardly practical and would likely require much more dexterous sphincter muscles than many of us have managed to develop.
I thought that was going to be more of a 'shart'-pad situation...

re: the pregnant baby doll...
http://www.gizmodiva.com/other_stuff/babys-first-baby-doll-by-darren-cullen-is-disturbing.php
UK-based artist Darren Cullen has designed a doll for an upcoming art show called Moral Holiday that might disgust you. The Baby’s First Baby Doll is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed cute 16 months pregnant doll, which comes with a tiny foetus. The packing of the doll highlights “Real pregnancy action”, and the artist describes this doll as “nonstop reproductive action”. However, this gets worse, with per, the mother-to-be toddler doll comes with a foetus in tow, pointed to with a pink arrow, along with the words: ‘Baby’s baby is pregnant too!’ The horrifying doll will also have cravings and stretch marks. On the back of the box, included milk bottles and warm towels for the delivery. The icing on the cake for this weird doll, is that it’s water actually breaks.
Baby’s First Baby Doll By Darren Cullen might scare little girls or encourage the concept of motherhood by offering them baby dolls at a very young age. If you still think this doll is worth it, buy one for £950.00 ($1,526.)
Re: pregnant baby doll ... I originally posted "that's not how it works".
Oops, sorry:
Once these females mature, within seven to 10 days, they start to clone themselves, giving birth to smaller, living versions of themselves known as nymphs. A female can give birth to about five to 10 clones per day, creating large swarms. These nymphs mature quickly, molting about four times over seven days before they start producing their own clones within 10 days.
Aphids will continue giving birth to multiple cloned generations over the course of the warm months of the spring and summer.
Some species of aphids are sometimes born pregnant. A female aphid who is developing as a clone within its mother's body will be pregnant itself and will be developing its own clone within its body even as it is waiting to be born.

One of my pet peeves. Last summer I went on one of my favorite hikes in the world up to a mountain lake in Maine. Real pristine area. The trail follows a crystal clear brook all the way up the mountain, and when you get to the top there's this gorgeous lake. And last summer, someone had taken a dump not ten feet from the lake, and about 30 feet from the mouth of the brook, on bare rock where the rain would wash it all right into water.
That's why you don't ever drink the water, even if you are miles from civilization way in the back woods and the water looks perfect. Stupid fucking people.

A few nights ago, I watched a tv program about the vision of predators and their prey.
It seems that starting with some sort of fleshy, water-living worm eons ago,
a light-sensitive tissue evolved into the skull- and eye- stucture that
is common to all
predators from the time of dinosaurs to today.
That is, prey animals have eyes yielding wide fields of vision with little or no overlap.
But predators have two forward-looking eyes with overlapping fields of acute vision for depth perception.
They used a cartoon video to describe the evolution of the retina, the lens, and the tapetal membrane of wolves and lions.
Then this video showed up today in the Google News...

That puzzle isn't even the worst, Grav. I've seen one that has no edges, is laid out hexagonally instead of in a standard rectangle grid, and on the other side of the puzzle is printed the same repetitive image, but rotated 180 degrees.
I saw one once called 'Spilled Milk" ... it was ALL white, irregularly shaped, 1000 pcs....
I like a puzzle - but that's going too far
Our family makes every jigsaw puzzle impossible.
There is always someone who swipes one puzzle piece,
and it's not realized until we get down to the last few pieces.
My middle daughter has an evil reputation for this, so
everyone thinks of her first, and gives her the hard time
...whether she did it that particular time or not.
I had a
fun puzzle where all of the pieces were the same shape, and the picture looked fine in many configurations, but you had to use clues on the pieces themselves to figure out where they went.
I'm puzzled by the price. $74? Wow.
Folding kayak.
This folding kayak is made from the same material as those corrugated plastic political signs.
[ATTACH]44142[/ATTACH]
They stamp out a sheet into a special shape.
[ATTACH]44143[/ATTACH]
Crease folds into it like origami, and add some hardware and fittings. So it looks like this when you start to fold it into a kayak.
[ATTACH]44144[/ATTACH]
It folds into a kayak shape and a few buckles and gaskets hold it together watertight, which is easy because the panel edges are all above the waterline and only the folds are below the waterline. It's quite rigid.
[ATTACH]44145[/ATTACH]
Folds up into a lightweight 25 pound package you can put in the trunk of your car.
This isn't a suitcase that holds the kayak. The suitcase IS the kayak.
[ATTACH]44146[/ATTACH]
I think it would be cool to have one.
[ATTACH]44147[/ATTACH]
The total price is $850, with a $500 deposit now, and the balance billable before shipping. We expect a delivery date of August 2013.
I've never shopped for a kayak before--is that more or less than a traditional low-end fiberglass kayak?
You can get a pretty decent ABS kayak for that much, $300 for a low end model. Fiberglass kayaks are sort of like CDs, most people are just using Mp3s these days.
The panel edges are above the waterline, but don't kayaks roll?
There's supposed to be a gasket or something. There are pictures on FB of somebody rolling it repeatedly.
It's competitively priced. It appears to be more rigid than a molded plastic cheaper kayak, so I bet it competes more with the more expensive Fiberglass ones and is lighter than they are. 25 pounds is pretty amazing.
That really is amazing. To be able to fold it up and put it in the trunk of your car ... I love it!
I'm skeptical about its longevity. It seems more novelty or emergency that practical.
[/fun sponge]
Time will tell. It's also a little on the short side at only 12 feet long. I wonder how it handles? I think it's a neat idea though. Those corrugated plastic signs are very durable, so I would expect it to last as long as the molded plastic ones. I'll let the early adopters beta test it. I already have a kayak.
I like the concept but wonder if that is really the right material? I suppose its UV protected so it may not get brittle right away. I can't picture it handling the normal use rock hits and scrapes. Maybe my normal use isn't normal.:D
So long as it comes with a few rolls of duct tape, all should be well.
I have friends who've built a number of houses and out building using cordwood and strawbale construction. They will swear up and down that it is the best, cheapest, quickest way to make a building. While those building have many merits, best, cheapest, and quickest aren't among them.
If that were true, no one would be stick framing houses any longer. There's a reason conventional framing hasn't changed much in a couple of hundred years.
Have you ever seen the crates they use at the Post Office? They are made of the same corrugated plastic. It's very durable and lightweight stuff. Those crates get kicked or dragged across concrete floors while full of packages. Next time you see one, look at the bottom corners for wear and imagine the constant abuse they get.
[ATTACH]44149[/ATTACH]
[ATTACH]44151[/ATTACH]
But what is the life expectancy of one of those crates? Although you see them all the time I don't think you are seeing the same crate for very long.
They are cool and all, but I don't think they will last nearly as long as another kayak conventionally built at the same price. Great to have in your trunk for impromptu kayaking though, I think that's where these certainly shine, not to compete with car toppers.
Actually, I think they are competing directly with
Folbot, which is a foldable skin on frame style of kayak. I think they are probably better than Folbot because they are slightly lighter and much cheaper and much less complicated to assemble. The Folbot Kiawah seems to be the closest match, and it's $1,449. Check out the
Folbot assembly videos. Assembly of a Folboat is really pretty involved.
Durability is a big question mark. I think in 5 years there will be enough data to know if these are any good.
We bought our (17 ft) Folbot in 1975 for about $600,
and it's still in use each year... on lakes and "calm" rivers.
The current models have improvements on weight and
ease of assembly, but ours fits in the 2 bags shown in this pic.
That's cool! How do you like it?
Obviously, we do like it...
The link you posted for the video of assembly of the Greenland model shows the main problem
... it is somewhat complicated and time-consuming.
Ours is sort of heavy and awkward, and it's easier for 2 people to share the carrying of the two bags.
Cross winds are the biggest issue in actual use.

Microfiber towels.
I had heard recently about these "microfiber towels" but didn't know what the big deal was. We have nice fluffy 100% cotton bath towels and like them. But I had a camping trip this past weekend, and there was a forecast for heavy unrelenting rain, and somebody suggested getting some microfiber towels.
So I went to Bed Bath and Beyond on a lunch hour last week and picked up a hand towel sized microfiber towel sold under the "Real Simple" brand name. It was 85% polyester and 15% polyamide, and had a thin terry cloth texture. As I held it in my hands, it snagged on my dry skin all over. That's how fine the fibers were.
So I went camping, and the rain stayed away until abut 6PM Saturday night, but then it was a steady heavy rain after that. I had good rain gear, and was out in the rain until it was time to go to bed, and then I opened my tent and got inside quickly. Even so, lots of water came inside with me, so I quickly pushed my sleeping bag and pad over to the other side of the tent as I peeled off my outer layers and made a big puddle on the floor.
It was a lot of water in a small tent. Enough to soak everything if I didn't take care of it. So I got out my new microfiber hand towel and mopped it all up. Then I took the hand towel and dried off my raincoat, both inside and out and folded it up neatly and put it away. I had already taken off my boots and and they had drained onto the floor, I mopped up that puddle. Then off came my rain pants. And I dried those off with the towel, turned them inside out, and dried them on the inside. And I folded them up and put them away. I mopped up stray water droplets that had gone everywhere.
Looking around, I couldn't see any evidence of water anywhere inside the tent. None. I draped the somewhat damp towel on the stiff canvas handles of a tote bag to dry, and in the morning, it was still damp. It was supposed to dry quickly, but it was about 35 degrees and raining with no air circulation inside the dark tent, so I'm not surprised.
I highly recommend a microfiber towel for a camping trip.
Then what you bought is better than

Greetings,
Thank you for your purchase of the popular OCK/UNT black handled mug. As you may know, this item was recently featured in a tweet sent out by none other than George Takei, the actor that portrayed Sulu in the original Star Trek television show in the 1970s.
Due to the recent acclaim this mug has received, we have had a surge of more than 400 orders in the span of just a few days. To put this in perspective, before this weekend we had a lifetime sales record of just 98 OCKS and UNTS. Though we are working around the clock to ship out as many of these OCK/UNT mugs as we can, we regret to inform you that we may not be able to fulfill our 24 hour ship time guarantee. We are deeply sorry for this and for any inconvenience it may cause you.
I just thought that was funny. 98 OCKS & UNTS. indeed.

I have very little experience pulling trailers.
Seeing as the hitch is in the center of the car, you'd have to rethink things in terms of turning radius, and you'd have to re-learn backing up (or turn it around and drive forward, like in the vid) compared to a trailer that attaches at the extreme rear of the car.
Also, the trailer is too vehicle-specific, that particular trailer wouldn't work if you drove, say, a '72 Buick Electra 225.

I'm guessing that explains the placement of the hitch.
That tow rig would put weight on the Bug, it will handle better than if it had a bumper hitch. But it would kill the Bug.
FWIW, It's not that far removed from a fifth wheel travel trailer
It is in that the VW can turn completely around giving it an order of magnitude more maneuvering capability. Backing? No, turn it around and push it in the spot. The fifth wheel type mount in the center of the car should make it very stable on the road for it's size. But like anything VW related you have to be conscious and cautious about weight.

Oral-B Pro 5000 SmartSeries with Bluetooth Electric Rechargeable Power Toothbrush
I suppose, in a way, it is fitting that a toothbrush should use Bluetooth if it is going to communicate with the outside world, but the whole thing strikes me as bizarre in the extreme.
Here's what Amazon.com's reviewer Brian has to say:
This toothbrush is the perfect compliment to my Bluetooth toilet that tells my smartphone how close to the center I am peeing each day. I now brush my teeth perfectly and hit every tooth the exact same amount of time each day, and I always pee within 98% accuracy of the center of the bowl. My life could not be more complete.

To be fair, you may not have known they existed because they didn't. At least not this style/configuration, although there have been other attempts at it.
They must be safe, they only do 12 mph(19.3 kph). Ever walk in to a door, wall, or other stationary object? Of course you have, everybody has, and it hurt, didn't it. Now how fast do you think you were moving?
Wiki says,
In the absence of significant external factors, humans tend to walk at about 1.4 m/s (5.0 km/h; 3.1 mph).[1][2][3] Although humans are capable of walking at speeds upwards of 2.5 m/s (9.0 km/h; 5.6 mph),
Yeah yeah, Usain Bolt did 44.7 km/h (14.4m/s, 27.78 mph), but if he'd run into a telephone pole, fugetaboutit. Even if you manage to avoid stationary objects, and god forbid, moving objects :eek:, there's also the pavement crack/pothole/stick trip-up. Calculating the skin loss vs speed would take a super computer because of all the variables. :idea: Maybe NASA would do it since tw told me they aren't doing science anymore.
I figure that $700 price tag breaks down to the inventor(patent holder) gets $10, and the manufacturer gets $10. Figure another $10 for the various transportation ships and trucks. The importer/wholesaler gets $20, and $50 to the retailer, because in this case it's a high end outfit. that leaves $599.95 for liability lawyers and Insurance salesmen.

I get from the text, you lower the toe end of your foot to go and the heel to stop. This is accomplished through a pivot plate, probably under your arch. The effect would be using the pivot of your ankle to go and stop while your body is balancing from the ankle pivot up. It doesn't look like it could have a very long throttle throw so sensitive to small movement. I'm sure a coordinated person with exceptional balance could master smooth operation in mere years. But on the feet of a ballet dancer habitually standing in one of the five positions, aggressive throttles would be dangerous.:unsure:
"Filament" LED light bulb are the future, but here today. The price just needs to come down a little bit. These things are freaking awesome!
I bought
one of these LED filament bulbs to try it out. Not cheap. $15.50, but free shipping.
It came in a plain unmarked box in a padded envelope. The bulb was in a protective plastic clam shell. No brand name that I can see.
[ATTACH]50537[/ATTACH]
Comparing the LED filament bulb side by side with an incandescent bulb.
[ATTACH]50538[/ATTACH]
And here it is in the fixture, with the dimmer at 100%. On the left is a 40 watt incandescent. In the middle is a 4 watt Filament LED, and on the right is a 60 watt incandescent. To my eye, in person, it looks as bright as the 60 watt bulb.
[ATTACH]50539[/ATTACH]
Here's a very underexposed close up of the LED light. You can sort of see in individual LEDs under the filament's coating.
[ATTACH]50540[/ATTACH]
And I noticed with the lamp shades on that the LED's 4 filaments effectively eliminate the shadows caused by the lampshade wire clamps that grab the bulb. Those shadows are visible on the incandescent lamp shade.
And finally, I took a video of the dimming.
[YOUTUBE]vlj7XEbe-dk[/YOUTUBE]
The LED bulb is listed as 2600K, but it seems just a little bit whiter than the incandescent bulbs at 100% power. And as you dim the lights, the incandescents go yellow, but the LED keeps its color.
I like this bulb. It's expensive, but I ordered 4 more. It will take the Dining Room light from 220 total watts (with a mixture of 40 and 60 watt bulbs) and reduce it to 20 total watts. I don't know how long it will take for these to pay for themselves. I suppose I should have calculated that before ordering 4 more, but that would have involved tracking down a power bill and doing the calculations.
I was not aware these products existed, and I have just been all over Home Depot recently trying to work out which curliecues to buy.
Good documentin' g-dogg
Excellent report. I think the price will have to come down more than a little bit, but It apparently doesn't need a special dimmer like some LED bulbs, which is a big plus. You didn't say where you found it.
there are several of these on Amazon.
I got this one
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LD9SN2O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1Y3F8F3V4MAER&coliid=I3QLPCDV1FPCR0
It appears the name brand companies don't have the patent situation figured out yet, so it's small Chinese outfits selling them.
I'm really impressed with this bulb. A technology I hadn't seen before. They come in all sizes, but I was only interested in the chandelier kind.
so if your saving 200 watts, that's 5 hours of use = 1 KWh.
A quick google says the national average in 2011 was 12c per KWh, it was 13.0 in Michigan i don't think it has gone up that much since then.
So to save $60 at 12c for each 5 hours = 2500 hours of use.
To recoup the cost in one year they would have to be on nearly 7 hours a day 365 days a year, so it depnds where they are.
We have plenty of lights, kitchen hallway, landing that get at least 5 hours even in the summer
That's just to recoup in 1 year, at 2011 electricity prices, LED's are supoosed to last 10+ years so plenty of time.
One my issues with LED's currently is that they only commnly availble to 60 watt equivalent, with some 75's. We like bright lighting, I want 100 watters. One thing I like about compact flourescent is you can out a 100 watt equivalent in a fitting that says '60W max'.
The 100 watt bulbs are coming. They exist already, but the cheap ones have poor reliability because they put out so much heat, they cook themselves, and the expensive ones are good but are $20-$25 each.
But check Amazon for 100 watt LEDs. They are out there. Philips has a new one with good reviews.

We started phasing in LED bulbs at our house about 3 years ago, including the standard shape, little appliance bulbs, and the big round bathroom globes. We haven't had to replace one yet.
you might not...
I've installed a number of them, but the one I like the best was a three light fixture at the peak of the roof overlooking the driveway, a major PITA to install, since I had to basically create the mounting surface for the fixture. BUT, I don't expect to have to deal with it again. It will probably give good service to the next owner of the house. It puts out a great deal of light, usefully bright even two stories below and given the high installation point, the "cone" of light is quite broad extending over half the driveway. I'm very pleased with it.
On the other hand, a couple years ago I bought two of these for a lot of money. Neither lasted more than 9 hours and collecting on the warranty from the internet was a nightmare. :mad:
We started phasing in LED bulbs at our house about 3 years ago...the big round bathroom globes.
I'll have to look for those. That's another high wattage fixture we have. 5x60 watts adds up fast. But you need that much light when you shave.

That's been my experience with changing out the incandescents.
Ever since they made incandescent bulbs illegal, I've been struggling with lighting in my house. As I age, my sight is getting awful.
I guess I could try replacing my $3 incandescent bulbs with some $45 LED's. :eek:
Dude, where are you shopping? They're trying to screw you. They should be $13, $17 at the most.
Oh sorry, I thought you were saying one incandescent that cost $3. (And that's probably not even what they cost, but I haven't bought one in forever...)
Ever since they made incandescent bulbs illegal,
This is a joke, right?
Because they can have my incandescent bulbs when they pry them from my 2nd degree burned, dead fingers.
They are banning simple gas water heaters next month too. Next time you buy a water heater it will be about 4 times the price and require a special chimney liner and condensate drain pipe near the heater. And wiring. Whee!
This is just an industry using government regulations to get around
the costs of advertising and the need for good customer service...
Our house is >100 yrs old, and we've lived here for 35 years
Today I learned that if a house is not connected to a community sewer system,
Oregon has a state-wide regulation requiring an permit for for septic system
--- with an inspection every 3 years by a "certified inspector".
The "inspector" is required to submit the report to the State,
whether or not any problems are found in the state.
If there is a problem, you're likely to get a visit from a State employee...
So, it's like "asbestos" and "lead paint" and "radon" when it comes
to buying or selling a house, and a "home inspection" is part of the Sales Agreement.
It's a great shovel-ready-job-creation and $-making program for "certified inspectors"
... the guys that drive the septic tank pumping trucks, because one of the first
requirements of a "certified" inspection is that "...the septic tank must be pumped...".

Something to do with resistance?
IDK, call an exorcist?
Something to do with resistance?
That's gotta be it, but I don't get it. Maybe I can open up the box containing the dimmer switch and connect a resistor in the box with it. I should try a night light bulb and see if that small of an incandescent will also make it work. I think I have some of those kicking around.
Or maybe just buy a different dimmer. BUt I don't want this to get too expensive. It's the principle of the thing. These LEDs have to pay for themselves, otherwise the whole thing is just stupid and wasteful.
Maybe not so much with resistance and more because the circuit will draw much more current even with just one incandescent lamp - therefore overcoming the usual dimmer-switch issues?
Rhianne! Good to see you girl.
Well, it's the dimmer switch. I swapped out the dimmer for a regular switch, and they work fine without an incandescent bulb in the mix.
These bulbs flicker a little bit. Apparently the larger filament LED bulbs have capacitors on the tiny circuit board in the base to smooth out the flickering, but these candelabra bulbs are so small, there isn't room in the base for capacitors. It doesn't bother me, but Mrs. Glatt has commented on it a few times. So these LED bulbs may be short lived in this house. We'll see how it plays out. But I won't be buying a new dimmer until I know the LEDs are here to stay.
We've had problems with replacing incandescent bulbs with LEDs in cars. Had to add resisters. Of course a byproduct of resisters is heat which has to be dealt with safely.
I wonder if we'll get a widely-used DC light socket standard, so the AC/DC converter can be in the light fixture, rather than in every single bulb. All of the problems with LED bulbs are because every bulb needs a wall wart.
I doubt it, by the time LEDS are that common the industry will says we've already designed and produced working bulbs. So anything else would be non-standard and cut into profits... I mean confuse the public.
However I suppose once the market is saturated except for a few hippies in the mountains, that could be the next big thing. We have seen the future and bought our congressman now. :haha:

I hvae a solar panel I've been storing for a rainy day (*snicker*) and I hooked it up to the scope last night.
Measured various light sources and the voltage they generated in the solar panel.
An incandescent bulb is a nice steady light source. This was the refrigerator light, the only old fashioned incandescent bulb I could easily find without dragging my laptop and USB wires and probes and stuff all over the house.
Look how steady that light output is! (You are looking at the blue horizontal flat wave line in comparison to the red zero horizontal line.

And below is the traditional four foot long fluorescent light on our kitchen ceiling. It cycles 120 times a second, but it doesn't lose much of a glow in between each cycle, so it's a pretty smooth light source.

The under cabinet LEDs shown below are connected to a fairly complex power supply and special dimmer that cycles them over 600 times a second, so they don't appear to flicker. And they never dip too low either so they go Bright/Not so bright 600/sec and look fine.

I think we may have gone too far.
The Romans and their vomitoriums fell, and we shall fall as well. But don't worry, it will only be another few hundred years before the Asians will have their chance to be destroyed by lack of self-control. Then it will be... I dunno, sub-Saharan Africa's turn? I feel like they should get a chance at some point, no reason for us to hoard all the embarrassment for ourselves.
I read not long ago the vomitoriums are a myth, at least the way they were purported used. Don't remember where it was, because I figured it wouldn't stop our decline. ;)
I think vomitoriums were the exits from the stadiums - they vomited out the plebs after the games.
[eta]pretty much:
A vomitorium is a passage situated below or behind a tier of seats in an amphitheatre or a stadium, through which big crowds can exit rapidly at the end of a performance. They can also be pathways for actors to enter and leave stage.[1] The Latin word vomitorium, plural vomitoria, derives from the verb vomō, vomere, "to spew forth". In ancient Roman architecture, vomitoria were designed to provide rapid egress for large crowds at amphitheatres and stadiums, as they do in modern sports stadiums and large theatres.[2]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VomitoriumFrom that Wiki link...
There is a common misconception that ancient Romans designated spaces called vomitoria for the purpose of actual vomiting, as part of a binge and purge cycle
Yeah, that's the gist of what I read. :yesnod:
Well okay, they didn't do it in the vomitoriums specifically, but
Straight Dope says that intentional vomiting was definitely socially acceptable.
Plus, I clearly remember a Saturday Night Live skit with Bill Murray ladling out vomit in a vomitorium while chatting someone up and passing out throat tickling feathers.

"Filament" LED light bulb are the future, but here today. The price just needs to come down a little bit. These things are freaking awesome!

[ATTACH]50538[/ATTACH]
And here it is in the fixture, with the dimmer at 100%. On the left is a 40 watt incandescent. In the middle is a 4 watt Filament LED, and on the right is a 60 watt incandescent. To my eye, in person, it looks as bright as the 60 watt bulb.
[ATTACH]50539[/ATTACH]
Here's a very underexposed close up of the LED light. You can sort of see in individual LEDs under the filament's coating.
[ATTACH]50540[/ATTACH]
And I noticed with the lamp shades on that the LED's 4 filaments effectively eliminate the shadows caused by the lampshade wire clamps that grab the bulb. Those shadows are visible on the incandescent lamp shade.
And finally, I took a video of the dimming.
[YOUTUBE]vlj7XEbe-dk[/YOUTUBE]
The LED bulb is listed as 2600K, but it seems just a little bit whiter than the incandescent bulbs at 100% power. And as you dim the lights, the incandescents go yellow, but the LED keeps its color.
I like this bulb. It's expensive, but I ordered 4 more. It will take the Dining Room light from 220 total watts (with a mixture of 40 and 60 watt bulbs) and reduce it to 20 total watts. I don't know how long it will take for these to pay for themselves. I suppose I should have calculated that before ordering 4 more, but that would have involved tracking down a power bill and doing the calculations.
It's not even a year later, and 2.5 of the 5 LED bulbs I bought have failed. The 0.5 failure is that 2 of the 4 filaments of one bulb have stopped lighting up. I think there is a poor electrical connection somewhere in the bulb and it gets strained somehow over time and breaks. The filaments flicker a bit and then stop working altogether.
I can't recommend these bulbs any longer. At $12 per bulb, the price is simply too high to be replacing them after 10 months. The claim was 15,000 hours of operation and the real world results are 500 hours or so. I'd be ok with them if they were $1.
That kind of thing, you have to gnaw at with your canines. Slow and drooly going.
Ewww, that's disgusting, take it... wait... 70 % cacao... let's talk about this with something to wash it ... uh, drink. :blush:

This product isn't here yet, but it's giving me hope that in just 3-4 years it will be an option.
An implantable permanent lens that can replace the rapidly stiffening lenses in my own eyes. We already have cataract replacement lenses now and they come in a fixed focus that will make the distance sharp and you have to wear reading glasses to see close up. And there are even more expensive multifocal ones that don't focus on any one distance but instead focus on maybe 6 different focal points and a kind of jumbled image hits your retina and hopefully your brain can sort out the correct one you want to see. I tried multifocal contact lenses and they suck, so multifocal implantable lenses sound horrible.
Ophthalmologist Garth Webb of Ocumetics in Canada has invented a flexible lens that your eye muscles can flex and it will focus on any distance, just like your natural lens. Except unlike your natural lens, it won't get cloudy with cataracts, it will remain flexible, even as you age, and it can be set to the correct power for the shape of your eyeball so your vision is perfect. In fact, it can be set to a power that is better than what you ever experienced, even with corrected vision.
He has multiple patents, and the news articles don't say which patent covers the lens that works, but it looks like it might be this one filed in 2014.
Abstract:
A suspension system (haptic) for intraocular lenses comprises an expandable body portion, such body portion comprising one or a plurality of hollow cavities, each hollow cavity comprising at least one opening communicating between the interior of the cavities and the exterior of the expandable haptic to permit ambient fluid to flow into and out of the hollow cavity and wherein the walls of the hollow cavities exhibit structure or elasticity to cause the walls to return toward their original shapes after being compressed by an external force.
When I was young, my eye doctors over-corrected my vision so I had fucking eagle eyes far away, and my eyeballs were still young enough that I could flex my internal eyeball lenses to see shit up close. Now, with 48 year old eyes, I can't focus close up as well any more, so my eye doctor is under-correcting my distance vision to give me a better chance to see up close. So shit is slightly blurry both far away and up close. Sucks.
I would pay a king's ransom to see well for the rest of my life starting today. I should start saving up now. You know insurance won't cover this.
The lens in that abstract sounds like a miniature version those eyeglasses somebody invented a few years back, that had an adjustable liquid lens. they claimed they could be mass produced and distributed to third world countries as a one pair fixes all.

And here it is in the fixture, with the dimmer at 100%. On the left is a 40 watt incandescent. In the middle is a 4 watt Filament LED, and on the right is a 60 watt incandescent. To my eye, in person, it looks as bright as the 60 watt bulb.
[ATTACH]50539[/ATTACH]
Here's a very underexposed close up of the LED light. You can sort of see in individual LEDs under the filament's coating.
[ATTACH]50540[/ATTACH]
And I noticed with the lamp shades on that the LED's 4 filaments effectively eliminate the shadows caused by the lampshade wire clamps that grab the bulb. Those shadows are visible on the incandescent lamp shade.
And finally, I took a video of the dimming.

The LED bulb is listed as 2600K, but it seems just a little bit whiter than the incandescent bulbs at 100% power. And as you dim the lights, the incandescents go yellow, but the LED keeps its color.
I like this bulb. It's expensive, but I ordered 4 more. It will take the Dining Room light from 220 total watts (with a mixture of 40 and 60 watt bulbs) and reduce it to 20 total watts. I don't know how long it will take for these to pay for themselves. I suppose I should have calculated that before ordering 4 more, but that would have involved tracking down a power bill and doing the calculations.
These bulbs flicker a little bit. Apparently the larger filament LED bulbs have capacitors on the tiny circuit board in the base to smooth out the flickering, but these candelabra bulbs are so small, there isn't room in the base for capacitors. It doesn't bother me, but Mrs. Glatt has commented on it a few times. So these LED bulbs may be short lived in this house. We'll see how it plays out. But I won't be buying a new dimmer until I know the LEDs are here to stay.
It's not even a year later, and 2.5 of the 5 LED bulbs I bought have failed. The 0.5 failure is that 2 of the 4 filaments of one bulb have stopped lighting up. I think there is a poor electrical connection somewhere in the bulb and it gets strained somehow over time and breaks. The filaments flicker a bit and then stop working altogether.
I can't recommend these bulbs any longer. At $12 per bulb, the price is simply too high to be replacing them after 10 months. The claim was 15,000 hours of operation and the real world results are 500 hours or so. I'd be ok with them if they were $1.
I'm obsessed with getting LED bulbs for my candelabra style dining room light. It uses 5 x 60 watt incandescent bulbs and it kills me to be consuming that much power.
The old LEDs I had were problematic. They were too expensive, they flickered like a very fast strobe light, and they got too hot and burned out after less than a year. The flickering was a result of the base being too small to fit a capacitor.
I just found a new bulb that appears to fix all of those problems. These new bulbs ahve the same filament technology, except they have a large metal heat sink above the base. The heat sink disperses the heat, so they should last longer, and the large heat sink is big enough to contain a capacitor that will even out the current and stop the flickering.
The price is also much more reasonable at $3.80 per bulb.

You can barely feel the vibrate function when it's concealed. Bluetooth reception is okay but using the small buttons while it's concealed is nearly impossible. I just don't have that kind of muscle control.
I've been extremely satisfied with this phone's call quality. Unfortunately it seems extremely easy to accidentally butt dial your contacts in circumstances where the phone might get randomly poked a few times in a row. My mom was terribly confused and I had a lot of explaining to do.

OK. Fuck this filament LED technology in a candelabra bulb bullshit.
In the 6 months since I bought the latest round of LED bulbs that I thought would be good, 3 of the 6 have failed. The candelabra bulb is just too small to dissipate the heat.
So I have moved on to a third style of bulb. This is similar to the Cree that tw recommended. The new kind I am trying have been reviewed by thousands of Amazon customers and most give it great reviews. The few who complain all have the same story. Some bulbs failed after a short while, but the manufacturer was happy to replace them.
So that's who I am going with. They don't look like traditional bulbs, but with a shade over them you can't tell. The color is good. And return instructions are right in the box of bulbs for if/when they fail.

I've probably spent $100 over the last few years trying to save a few cents of electricity. I feel like a moron. But I am honest with you about it so you don't follow in my path. At least not until I succeed.

LinkOut of Stock, and will only work for 6 months. :(
It's important to note that the "smart" functions will only last for about six months -- at that point, the 3G will expire, and it will work only as a regular decanter.
By "and it will work only as
a regular decanter", I wonder if the voice-activated pouring will no longer work after the 3G expires? Why would you need 3G for the voice-activated pouring? I understand the 'smart' functions (answering questions) not working after 3G dies.

Absorene dry cleaning soot sponges.
They are pretty damn amazing. You will still have to paint over the surface, but you will get enough soot off to allow the primer to stick.

Is soot tougher than I thought it was?
Reminds me of something late great Grandmadigr used to say:
Mary had a little lamb
It had a sooty foot
And into Mary's bread and jam
It's sooty foot he put
It's darn near impossible to clean off soot.

HoverGlide – The World’s First Floating Backpack

:devil:
Color me skeptical.
How much weight does it add to a standard pack? How much further away from your body is the weight of the pack now going to be, throwing you off balance? How often do you run and do jumping jacks with a pack on? What happens when you lean forward to crawl under a downed tree?
I'll wait until some actual backpackers buy the thing, hike a few days with it, and report back.
I can see it reducing sudden impacts, like when walking on a rough trail, but they would, as I understand it, become oscillations, which might be annoying.
But perhaps if you train yourself to anticipate and counter them it would be less fatiguing than the jolts.
Ya learned to use the old ones dintchya?:eyebrow:
Eagle Scout here. But that was back in the mid 90's when the external frame packs were just starting to go out of style, so I don't know how much the non-Hoverglide technology has improved in the last 25 years or so.

I guess there are companies out there that can make coins for you.
I got this one taped to some charity solicitation letter I got. If you gave money you were an angel, except they gave you the coin in advance to try to make you feel indebted to them.
... except they gave you the coin in advance to try to make you feel indebted to them.
It works or you wouldn't of thought of that. Even if it doesn't persuade you it still brought that up without saying so.
I got a solicitation from some animal charity telling me about starving critters. There was a nickel glued to the material. Well why didn't they feed some critters with all those nickels they bulk mailed? They're betting the nickels would fetch more donations.
And they prolly ain't feeding critters anyway.
Popdigr got something the other day that had five (5) nickels taped to the letter.
I don't even watch the commercials on tv trying to guilt you into saving a child, (or a dog, costs the same either way) I change the channel for five minutes.
I got mine, and was very surprised the weight is comparable to a real coin. Novelty coins I've seen in the past were so light if you flipped them you weren't sure they'd come down.
Easy to tell heads from tails on the rat's ass coin.
This is pretty brilliant. So simple and obvious in hindsight, but the kind of thing nobody ever thinks of until somebody does.
