If I were to throw a live semi-flightless bird as hard as I can, would it be safe and unharmed provided I launched it into thin air, and I held it as gently as I could during the throw? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I don't think of a penguin as semi flightless, i believe it's considered flightless. A chicken would be semi-flightless.

I've had chickens explicitly enjoy being tossed and thrown so they could do a soft landing. They ran up to me over and over and once picked up either went for a cuddle or wings wide in anticipation.

Hepa exhaust filter? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm looking for a hepa exhaust filter to put on a 6" inline duct fan to have an air filter. I need hepa or merv 13 or higher rating. I know this will slow down airflow, that's why I'm adding the inline duct fan too.

Initially I got 6" to 8x8 register box to put an 8x8 merv13 filter in, but there's too much space around the filter and the register boxes don't fit together. I'd prefer avoiding the register if possible, I'd prefer an inline filter.

Does anyone have suggestions for a hepa filter that could fit directly over a 6" inline duct fan?

I prefer one that could hold a mattress about 16in up (with or without board under, i can get a board separate). Do you have a suggestion for one that won't Creek? The reviews for the ones I've found say many have thin metal or the joints with screws aren't well done and they warp or creek so I'm not sure what to look at

We just tried getting an IKEA mattress and it was NOTHING like the one in store. IKEA is great for furniture I'm ok with my toddler smearing banana on though

Looking for a bed frame with wooden slats ontop that doesn't squeak, 16in tall. Everything seems shorter or poorly made

When rich people marry for money, it's fine; it's keeping it within the family — especially for royalty. When poor people marry for money, it's ‘gold digging.’ in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Shit. I did it wrong. I married someone with way less than me. Although my job doesn't pay well because I also choose that based on enjoyment..

I started aging it after the initial post, thank you for your insight though!

We are spending our money, after taxes, on things taxes should be paying for, so we are paying twice? No, because the things our taxes are being paid for are oligarchs to be richer. Why were we still paying taxes if they aren't primarily benefitting the population? We don't have a government for the people by the people. We have propaganda keeping oligarchs in power of a corporatocracy.

Pasteurizing manure? (lemmy.world)
 

I have chickens, who create quite a bit of poop I can use to grow mushrooms, but I'm not sure how to pasteurize/sanitize it. I was thinking pressure cooker?

I ordered some spore syringes and I'm not sure if i should get premade bags with injection ports or if I should make my own bags. It's the same cost to buy bags and a used instant pot, and I already have coco coir. Once I get some mushroom colonies going I was planning on keeping it going by breaking it up and mixing it with fresh substrate, but I don't want to keep buying pasteurized manure.

How do people do this? I'm very new

Reclaiming Clay question (lemmy.world)
 

I have a lot of dry clay I have saved to reuse. Most of it is in smaller pieces, I'm working my way to making it into powder. I'm thinking of getting a rock tumbler to make small batches of powder since most of the pieces are pretty small anyway.

Currently, i put the powder and sometimes granules into a bucket and pour white vinegar and very hot water over it, sometimes mixing immediately sometimes waiting for it to cool. I always let it rehydrate for at least a few days before drying on a plaster board.

Currently I mix the clay by folding and flattening, as this is easier than wedging for me. I'll wedge smaller pieces, but for these larger ones I'll pop the air bubbles and smooth it out. So far it's been ok but I'll sometimes have a bubble I missed until I am nearly done shaping on the wheel.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to decrease the air bubbles trapped from rehydrating? Would a vibrating paint mixer work?
