Well someone needs their reason critiqued

Do you want the short or the long version?

Because they are legally obligated to mention it?

Ohhh yes. Mouth, eyes, lungs – they get everywhere.

Sometimes when I get home my face is dappled with them as they stick to my sweaty skin :)

Before the flies however, if you live in a northern city, there's the dusty air in the couple of weeks after the snow has melted and they haven't washed the roads yet. Add pollen to that and your lungs soon start to feel like your a regular smoker.

ESC 2025 is fast approaching! Can we have a new general thread? 😁

Thanks for making the post! I'm sure many will find it helpful.

Myself I'm inclined to trust old school (f)oss projects much more than these new "privacy focused" solutions that seem to have the half life of a fart.

I'll probably stick with a firefox fork for now, there's plenty of them and it allows me to keep all of my addons and configs.

Well done! I did some exploratory surgery on my Fenix 6 recently as the vibration motor had stopped working properly. Easy to take a part and probably easy to repair - just have to find a spare part somewhere.

Jonathan Swift had the same showerthought.

Overall, he preferred horses.

Well done! Mine's been waiting a couple of years for installation.

A scanner would be your best bet.

But you could go wild and ditch the photo idea.

The original piece was modeled in CAD. Simply follow the logical path for how it was originally done.

Measure the outermost dimensions and draw a rectangle as construction geometry. Then play around drawing a couple of circles - chances are that the top and bottom curves are circles and are trimmed and joined with eachother with say blend curve to preserve tangency.

Also measure the distance of the holes to the rest of the geometry. How far are they from the top and sides. You could measure their distance to eachother crosswise too to narrow down the measurement error.

The geometry is built around simple measurements, if you can work out the sketch tools and constraints, you can probably match the original with high precision.

Detergents are basic because that works wonders on greasy stuff. When oil polymerises it won't be susceptible to basic substances anymore but will react to acids. (Unlike acid and oils which don't really react with each other – think vinaigrette separating in the fridge.)

Washing a cast iron pan with detergent will clean it from unpolymerised oil.

Cooking e.g. tomato based sauces in your cast iron pan will strip it of the polymerised coating (might impart flavour too).

Cleaning kitchen tiles near your stove is sometimes easier with acidic cleaning solutions as well. Just be careful with the caulking which will brittle over time from using acids.
