The plasma trade is becoming ever-more hypocritical
  • Can confirm. Donated plasma to Biolife for a year, and it's only good for the first 1-2 months when they pay $800-900 over several donations. Then they slowly drop you down to $150-300 over several donations. I managed to get a big hematoma once from donating so I guess that was interesting. The lowering payout, arm twinges from repeatedly having my veins poked, taking 1-2 hours of my day, and cold atmosphere(literally, room temp saline chills you down to the bone in colder months) made it a pain the ass

  • Another Game Just Got Review-Bombed Into Dropping Controversial Login Requirement [ EDF 6 and requirement to Epic's login on Steam]
  • I just want an .exe I can throw into whatever folder I want, that launches the game and doesn't open a launcher or storefront(steam included). I don't care about all the useless achievements and progress bullshit, not to mention tracking data. I buy on GOG when possible, but not every game is on there.

  • Carving some cove profiling in some arches on columbarium panels
  • Not sure if you mean all of it, or just the carving part, but I used a 1" hole saw on a drill press in the small opening, and a 3" hole saw for the two larger rounds. Then spindle sand the edges. Then use a jig saw and chisel to clean up the small opening. Next is a router with a cove bit with a bearing. Then using a carving knife and carving gouge to get the shape. Hope that helps!

  • Carving some cove profiling in some arches on columbarium panels

    I've got 20 of these to carve out, and I've only done a smidgen of carving before. Luckily my boss trusts me enough with his antique carving tools

    Before I started carving: !

  • An infromative biologist redditor named unidan made the comment above. The majority of reddit loved him. Whenever he posted a comment, reddit would literally get on their knees to jerk and suck him off with upvotes. That and the usual tone of his comments made me dislike him. He had a hissy fit with another redditor over a crows/jackdaws. He revealed that he made alts to downvote other redditors and upvote himself, even if the other redditor was correct. His downfall was very satisfying lol

  • Which waterproof fabric is best?
  • If cost isn't a problem there's ventile/etaproof. 100% cotton and can withstand rain for 2 hours. Add a second inner layer and it's even longer

  • How often do you bake?
  • I usually bulk bake 2-4 sourdough loaves in a weekend and freezing all but 1 loaf. That leaves me plenty of baking energy to make other breads or desserts throughout the month or just experiment on creating something

  • Milling your own flour (questions)
  • Nice! I've been milling all of my flour for about 1 or 2 years now, and use only home milled flour. I mill about once or twice a week. For now I have the Mockmill Kitchenaid attachment, but I'm looking at a Komo mill and the sifter attachment for it. I also have a seperate electronic sifter with a #40 and a #60 sieve.

    I usually have to mill and sift 2 or so times depending on how fine I want the flour, as the Mockmill attachment doesn't get a very fine grind on the first pass. If you're looking at sifting your flour you can get a hand sieve and sift by hand. If you also have massage gun, you hold the sieve in one hand and use the massage gun on the sieve to do all the work.

    If you're looking for wheat berries, there's Breadtopia, Central Milling, Azure standard(make sure to do the local dropoff thing), and others if you search for local mills.
