    Coronavirus - II

    Well there was an event in the dead center of the region where no one wants to wear a mask, and it turns out the idea is not as popular as some would have you believe:

    Music to the Marrow (To What Are You Listening?)

    Actually I wasn't aware that there was a political review process for pieces of art; this is especially bad news for Pete Seeger and Rage Against The Machine fans, and surprising since someone had just posted Bob Dylan on the previous page. But it's good that everyone is warned now. I was going...

    Music to the Marrow (To What Are You Listening?)

    Posted that one right after it came out, still one of my favorite albums from last year.

    Mix metal adhesives in medicine cups and put them under a hydraulic press, see how much weight they'll take:

    Star, another trick like that and you're out of here. After more than twelve years here you already know the limits placed on political trolling. As an active member of the Underground you know fully the right place for that rhetoric. It's deleted here. - Empath

    raggies random remarks ....

    “If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.” - The Dalai Lama

    Cali gov just mandated masks in public, so we're going the other way; the other states followed when we went through this the first time, not looking like they'll go for it again..

    Maximum Flood - for inspection of house with no electricity and boarded up windows

    If I need to light an entire space evenly, that's the place for a mule or COB emitter; Nebo's Big Larry 2 is just a giant 500-lumen COB flood that will easily fill a living room-sized space (and can be left at that output level without worrying about overheating.) $25 and commonly available at...

    LED nerds. Any help with Lumens? How are they measured?

    I'm not previously aware of the use of a degree rating to measure lumens; typically if you account for the beam shape of the emitter, it's to express in lux/cp what the throw of the beam is, not the output. Otherwise, if you're going to provide a lumen rating, especially for a bare emitter, it...
