  • Take a look at cement board and the codes for your area for a wood stove.

    There’s certain gap requirements for heat etc but you could rig up something fairly simply whether a box or more open enclosure.

    There are also fire extinguishers that are activated by heat and sit above a potential fire source. People use them in 3D printer enclosures fairly often. Batteries burn for a long long time depending on how charged they are so it would have limited effectiveness.

    This could actually be a really interesting and useful product idea. Maybe a kit with GFCI outlet, surge protector bar with fused outlets, huge spacing between outlets to allow for large plugs, metal/cement board case, wire shelving, ventilation fans to keep batteries cool but have louvre shut to cut oxygen for fires. Hmmm I want this for my garage.


  • Two weird questions. What’s your fridge set at and how far away do you buy your milk?

    It’s pretty common in grocery stores and during shipping for milk containers to break, jugs or bags. I’m wondering if perhaps your fridge is set too high and your store is close enough that when you put the milk in your fridge it would be the coldest object, causing condensation which makes a puddle of ‘milk’ that is washed off the outside of the jug.

    Maybe? It’s weird that it doesn’t ‘leak’ after you open it.








  • Still internal. So by exposed I mean legally they have been informed of this negligence and not acted in a timely manner to address it. I gave them a week to do what they need to do and Friday went to another employees house after work and went over the SDS for the chemical that has possible injured him because they had yet to inform him. They had their chance.

    Long weekend so Tuesday a machine isn’t get turned on and by Wednesday they start losing about 2k every 4 minutes.




  • Podcasts. I have a very aural internal experience and just having someone else’s voice in my head helps a lot.

    Video games. There’s so much science put into making video games an escape it’s almost like cheating. If you look at them as an engineered tool designed for escapism it’s kind of amazing.

    Gardening. Takes a certain amount of privilege in space, money and patience but it hits a very deep evolutionary satisfaction.

    Nature. Just get as deep into trees as you can and then sit or walk. Find a tree that you like and keep visiting it through the year. Watch how things change through the season and how it fights a fungus or feeds the birds. Connect to an ephemeral but living thing in an implicitly liminal space to disconnect from your constructed reality.

    Making something. Shelves are easy. Pizza or pie is just involved enough but not too much effort. Good for iteration and practice too. Lots of people do Lego or puzzles. I enjoyed 3d printing but it’s a major time investment thats hard to maintain.
