Milwaukee grinder got left in a heavy rain. Not at all my fault. (Totally my fault)

How long to let it dry and air out before I risk running it?

Edit: thanks for all the replies guys. I'm in Thailand and our "left in the rain" is like "left in the shower while all the players in an NBA game took turns showering one after another", but it's had a few days. I'll just put it back in rotation and see what happens.

I haven't read the newer books and maybe this is hammered out a bit more in those... But I find the depictions irritatingly inconsistent. First they are sort of semi-vow of silence sword nerd samurai. They care about the craft and the hierarchy and that is pretty much it.

But then we meet several later on and they're all wacky berserker types who run their mouth and say wild stuff. I'm thinking of Vorcan's guards and the dead guy in Hood's army....

I'm new. Took my third shot (second self shot) on Wednesday. The results are crushing it. My two week weigh in I was down 12lbs. Six pounds both weeks. But the last two days of the cycle are rough. I'm not feeling it, I need to exercise willpower constantly, and take in more calories... Of course I poop easier too. 555

I was good and didn't cheat on my clocks for the third shot, but man was I tempted.

Anyone know why the cycle is 7 days? It seems like 5 would be better based on my limited data. I bet it comes down to stretching the medicine to match calendar months- but that would be dumb.

Are the only two choices really "shit" and "food water"?

Everyone is pushing solar everything. I've bought two types of solar light- walkway lights that had a 25% failure rate in the first year and fairy string lights that had a 50% failure rate in the first year. I don't know if the failures are the panels, batteries or something else.

I am renovating a house and want to put up exterior lights- the solar stuff looks like a better value on paper- but my "spider senses" tell me this mass push to solar is "a capitalist assault" on lighting system quality.

Help me understand the problem. I don't want to need to redo this in 3-5 years.

Gearing up to be fixin to get ready to make a metal brake. A pretty big one- restaurant prep tables so 2 meters long. Watched a few videos and everyone goes through the hinge stuff like it's no big deal- but this looks like exactly the step I'll do wrong 3 times.

Any thoughts on this? Am I imagining it to be harder than it is(giggity)?

Not sure if this is the place, I've always suffered from "oh yeah I should do that syndrome" and my sister bullied me into asking AI to make a home maintenance schedule. The results were terrible. So now I turn to (hopefully) real people.

Want to create a list/schedule of all cyclical maintenance items for a house. This one is in a mild climate with low humidity so it's pretty easy. The roof is like Dick Clark and doesn't appear to age.

Anyway, hit me!

Edited an internal sentence for clarity.

Mother in law lost her lifetime partner a couple years ago. 55 years together- isn't that wild? She hasn't really bounced back. Her GP has her on some Lexipro. Now, major depression has been a big chunk of my life. I know just about all the stuff. But what I don't know is how to convince someone who grew up in the shadow of The Great Depression that she should be doing talk therapy. She has the classic framework of "my life is tragic and sad, of course I feel bad, what would therapy so?"

Anyone dealt with this? Other than pure bullying and then her doing it with a closed heart, I don't know how to make it happen.

I don't normally cross post stuff, but since this is to help someone else if the system lets me I'm going to stick this in r/depression and r/mentalhealth. I hope that is okay.

Thought I could post a pic- alas. Here is the list:

Aster pro

Nasacort

Diphenhydramine

Loratadine

Fluticason proplonate

Xyzal

Fexofenadine hydrochloride

I've got some trauma related to how western healthcare works and am one of those people who would generally rather die than bankrupt myself again going to the hospital. This makes for problems when, you know, you have a problem and don't want to die.

I had modest allergies and took Zyrtec and was fine for years. I moved to the jungles of Northern Thailand and my sinuses lost their mind. For quite a while I lived on Otravin which is similar to Afrin. Taking it like 20 times a day. I went to the pharmacy here and they gave me some pills that did nothing. So, the next time I was in the US I bought one of everything Costco has that showed a different active ingredient. I can now function- I still take Afrin before bed.

My routine is absurd. It's like 6 pills and 3 sniffers not counting the Afrin. My best friend put it all in AI and it said I was probably dying. 555

Anyway, could you folks take a look and see if there are any that are functional duplicates that I could drop? Thailand is a weird place for medicine. If you are in Bangkok you can pay western prices for the best care in the world. If you are in the provinces (where I am) and you aren't bleeding or vomiting they don't much care what's going on.

Tried to post before, but my native language of Potty Mouth apparently got my post auto rejected. If there is a way to make that tell a person it would be a goodness.

Tea from fresh leaves has a lot of fiber. The leaves kind of lose their structural integrity and you get this (kind of gross) cloud that you can pretend you didn't see if you shake the bottle before you look at it...

I use how strong my poops are as the metric for how much I can drink. Note- I basically drink it all day every day unless I'm traveling for work. (Recipe is tea, honey, and lime with ice)

Anyway so if I start feeling a little backed up, or don't poop one day... I'll make sure to dial it back until I'm normal.

Now fiber is weird stuff. What's the cure for constipation? Often fiber. What's the cure for diarrhea? Fiber. Why? SCIENCE.

So I see this post a few weeks ago about a guy taking metamucil and it improving his kratom induced constipation. Wow, say I!!! Maybe it's different fiber or somehow I still don't have enough or or or... So when I got home from my work trip (they are several weeks) I brought metamucil and....

I backed up faster than ever. I don't think this is the magic bullet I hoped for. Sigh.

Staring Tom Cruise

Real question. Is this game just stupid? Using the rules in the box there is pretty much a 100% chance of a draw unless one player is actively self sabotaging... What am I missing?

Four kids 9, 10, 12, 13. Older 3 share a room (standard in our country). They are boys and the youngest seems to need about 90 minutes more sleep than the others (even more than the girl his same age). Because they share a room having him go to bed is problematic.

Suggestions?

Does anyone here run a track? There is no such animal within many hours of my home and I think about it a lot... Looking to talk with someone who has done it.

Say your anvil cracks because whatever... And you aren't someone who looks at the anvil too much. Would you start to hear or feel it?

Hey neighbors, I love overseas, but every 4 months I come and stay with family in Sunnyvale. Mom is old and has some issues. Siblings are close and give a little time each week, then I come and give dedicated attention for a month then go home for three months. It works out. None of them have dedicated parking so my medium truck (Tacoma) stays with a cousin when I'm gone. Sadly, cousin is having some construction done and the truck can't stay there this time (tomorrow through late October). Does anyone have an off street parking space I can borrow or rent cheaply? Brother is in an apartment, sister's neighborhood is unwelcoming and it would be "socially expensive" with her husband. When I left it with cousin on the street she never moved it and wracked up hundreds in parking tickets. If nobody can help I'll ask a mechanic, but I think that will wind up costing an arm and a leg. Truck is a little beat, but not an eyesore. 2015 Tacoma.

We live near Peterson, but the display from Great America is occluded by trees. Has anyone scouted out a place to loiter and enjoy the show without driving?

Bit of a rambly question and it's more metalworking than welding, but hopefully you guys will tolerate it. The metalworking group feels much more bot and meme based and I am looking for human input.

I live in a third world jungle. Buying a house for my family that is little more than a concrete box. Wooden furniture that won't rot in the humidity is prohibitively expensive for things like shelves and built ins. I am planning on moving from regular iron to stainless anyway- so I'd like to build out the house storage with stainless- maybe painted so it doesn't look like a hospital...

Anyone done some domestic projects like this they care to share photos of?

In the USA today we use a street name with a number for each building followed by city state and zip code. But for common directions street name and building number. I moved to Thailand a few years ago and while the cities have adopted this format most of the country uses neighborhood name followed by a street number and good luck on finding the building you want- just use magic. So for example you might live in Rop Waing (small village or neighborhood name) Soi 3 (third ally) or Ban Du Soi 1.

What did we do in the west before the modern formal system? When did we start naming streets?

I've gone to war with mom's toenail fungus. I've read you should replace all shoes. Do you do that during the war? Or beat the fungus then replace the shoes? I don't want to need to buy two sets.
