For sure! It's also preservation technique.

It has the unfortunate side effect of making the olives somewhat tasteless compared to their possible result.

I say this as someone who finds excuses to eat olives in just about any form (including these). Anchovy stuffed being my favorite at the moment.

Well, at least they weren't as confident as they were inaccurate?! Silver linings or something.

I think you got your suffixes reversed there!

Ferrous gluconate is prescribed for anemia (ferrous sulfate is the most common in multivitamins). You could go to any number of stores close to you and find it in the supplements section.

And yeah, lye is used in many traditional food preservation and preparation techniques.

Chemistry aside, what I takeaway is that this is a wild process for a relatively tasteless product (compared to traditionally processed olives).

Layoff at least 3% of staff!

Also my favorite to use with the smart junior engineers who keep saying we should "just do ___."

This has the same effect as the old saying "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

The violence is the point. The argument is absurd.

It's a game I play too. Sometimes you even get lucky with terrain and you can see the whole period of a wave and determine a speed to nullify it entirely. So satisfying.

Pretty sure this is the original unglamorous premise of Severance before it got hopped up by the what ifs from the producers.

 

I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it's like this is the way everything was always meant to be.

HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.

I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).

No ragrets.

No regerts.

Team red 4lyfe (again).

 

Installed a 40amp circuit for the EVs after charging a PHEV for 5 years and a BEV truck for almost a year on a single 15amp circuit.

50ft x 8 AWG x 4 wires isn't cheap ($1.32/ft with tax), plus conduit, straps, breaker, wet location boxes and outlet cover and the extra cost for an EV rated outlet.

Wasn't room between the post and the garage door king stud for a flush mount box, oh well.

I'll pay the electrician for a proper hard-wired charger when we upgrade service and run it from the main panel instead.

Inspiring

 
 

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

Anyone else spending their weekend with the Sonoma action?

I've been jumping between the feeds for all the races/qualifying today. The Toyota GR Cup was particularly fun to watch. The new McLaren series seems like it could shape up pretty well too!

Got the uppers painted and installed.

Time to find some MDF for the face frame, drawer fronts, and shelves. Which reminds me, I need a router bit for the integrated drawer pulls she wants.

 

My first project is really coming together!

Built a set of drawers cabinets to my wife's specs for the closet. Still have uppers, face frame and overlay fronts to do, but the garage was too full to keep going.

4ft (122cm) tall bank of drawers with full extension soft close undermount slides. 88in.(222cm) wide.

Feel free to make fun of the 2x4 toe kick! Rest assured I've learned my lesson.

All cuts made with my portable DeWalt table saw after breaking down sheets with my Ryobi circular saw and a harbor freight clamp as an edge guide.

 

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
