Yeah, "home-processed" levels of processing ain't so bad. It's just interesting that the effects of food processing are measurable even between seemingly small changes. Pretty much, if you take any food and throw it in a blender, you'll eat more of it.

Whole fruit is healthy. The more processed you go, the less healthy it is. Interestingly, the more processed you go, the more calories you consume, too. You will eat more apple sauce than you will apples.

Yeah they fixed that, apparently. I wouldn't know because I've never needed to draw a circle in gimp, but that was part of the big hubalu with 3.0.

I literally only use it when a how-to guide explains exactly what to do and why. Then I forget what I did and look up how to do it again six months later. I'm fine with this arrangement, though I will prefer to have to use it less.

No complaints so far! What did the reviews say? I'm using a 16 with the graphics module.

The mask will still decrease your initial exposure "load," which correlates with the severity of your infection. Fewer starter viruses means a less impactful infection (as far as COVID is concerned).

Does Framework sell a laptop with Linux pre-installed or do they only have officially supported distros?

I got a framework, which is built around quality parts, repairability, and upgradeability. Theoretically it's the last laptop I will ever buy.

Okay. Be stays in the road, but I don't want to be in the road with him, so we still need that public transit.

Can I get numbers on that? Last time I looked up crime rate statistics on rural vs urban I found the opposite, that urban areas have higher crime rate per capita thanks to a number of compounding factors. I still think proper, high density design is better, but those were the numbers I saw.

Trying to Remove Fixed "Glass" From Door (midwest.social)
 

Do you guys have any suggestions for how to remove fixed glass pieces? It's glued in place very securely, and I can't pry it out no matter what I do. Do you know if there's any solvents that would dissolve the glue but not harm the plastic? I want to refinish the glass to get rid of all the scratches.

WIP Wednesday! For My First Patch, a No-Shoot Target (midwest.social)
 

My first ever patch is going to be a no-shoot target from competitive action shooting. I was going to do a shoot target but it turns out I don't have any tan thread in my random assortment of threads.

I will be getting a proper color selection soon, and proper thread, but for now I'm getting started with what I have. I'm very excited to make my fist patch!!

What are you working on?

unusual circumstances recommendation on embroidery thread (midwest.social)
 

Hi hi

I'm stuck in bed and starting to work on embroidery. All of my threads are wound on a spool. They seem to be general purpose threads as far as I can tell. Right now I'm folding them into four parallel threads and using that, doubled up. (Each stich is eight threads.) Some work better than others.

I'm slowly running out and will need to replace them, but I don't know anything about thread. The normal embroidery-specific threads don't seem to come on spools, which I would greatly prefer. They also have different sizes and I have no idea what's that about.

Basically:

Help! What is a good general purpose brand that comes on a spool? It doesn't have to be embroidery specific, but should be adaptable to use in embroidery.

Thanks!

Fundraiser to Support Free Firearms Classes for Queer and Minority Communities (www.gofundme.com)
 

A Madison local is looking to provide firearms instruction classes to students who might not feel safe taking a normal firearms course. The classes are free to the students to make them as accessible as possible. If you can help out with operating expenses (classroom rent, study materials, etc.) you will help build proficiency and safety in a community traditionally under served in this area.

Thanks!

Fundraiser to Support Free Firearms Classes for Queer and Minority Communities (www.gofundme.com)
 

Hi all,

A fellow enthusiast started teaching firearms courses aimed at folks who aren't typically courted by the gun community. They've been doing this for free since the start of COVID and they are now looking to expand their operation and need to raise funds in order to keep it free. If you could chip in a few bucks to help with next year's expenses, you'll be making firearms proficiency more accessible to people who aren't welcome in other courses currently available.

Thanks!
