With this emulsion, I can buff out the majority of tiny imperfections in a windshield in ten minutes by hand. I'm talking about those minuscule specks that when driving into the sun impair vision via diffusion and glare. Works also on very fine hairline scratches. I'm sure you can remove...

I have not been to the PCAM museum in 10 years or so. I went back and enjoyed the small collection of aircraft on display. There were only a few visitors and a group of teen girls who were taking group selfies while giggling hysterically. I have a whole bunch of pictures and I will post them...

It had sensing doodads on the roof and only when I passed it I saw it was driverless. There was no company name on the rear or on the driver side. Standard CA tags. I'll post a picture later. It's the first of its kind I have seen. A moment later I was behind a Fisker Ocean.

A local Polish deli has a boatload of Polish sausages and smoked fish. I don't think I have shown this before. They also have picked porcini and dried porcini. #100 a pound for the dried ones. I don't eat Eastern European Chernobyl Mushrooms.

I wonder how the acrylic 2X Ultra Cover Clear Gloss compares to the older Rustoleum Crystal Clear enamel in terms of thickness, smoothness, gloss, drying time, and durability. Obviously, the older Crystal Clear with its harsh solvents can't be used on top of the acrylic 2X paint. Just wondering...

Living in earthquake, fire, mudslide, and potential zombie outbreak territory, I am generally well prepared. Besides the wall, a goldfish-filled moat, and Cuddles frolicking on a zipline I am also well-stocked with emergency supplies. Rice, beans, jerky, canned food, nuts, powdered egg, powdered...

I have been informed that Abe, the Lincoln Aviator, my company vehicle of the last four years, is being retired. Abe used to be Amelia because of the Aviator name but I didn't feel comfortable cussing out a lady all the time and Amelia became Abe. Abe has been alright and gave me little trouble...

It's nothing.

That's an ironic situation.

GoKar. Tourists rent them and go on GPS-guided tours. This is the first exit after the Golden Gate Bridge going north. The street light is identical to the ones on the bridge, so presumably it's as old as the bridge. It sports the same international orange color. After visiting friends, I...

ZAMAK is an alloy commonly used for diecast items. ZAMAK comes in five variants (2,3, 5, 7, HF), and contains slightly various amounts of zinc (>90% of the alloy) aluminum magnesium copper I have been wondering about the possibility of galvanic corrosion when ZAMAK is in direct contact with...

Waymo self-driving cars have become part of the urban landscape. In general, they do okay while on the move. When they pick and drop off fares they often make unfortunate choices such as blocking parking lot entrances/exits and driveways. And unlike a cabbie or Uber driver, a Waymo can't be...

Oy. I thought I had maybe gotten a sinus infection from getting some bacteria up my nose while surfing but the symptoms are missing. My taste buds work all right. Yesterday, my wife repeatedly pointed out the smell of skunk while we were going places and I never smelt anything. I also did a...

These kits by Aerobase from Japan keep showing up at the office for some unknown reason. Someone has to build them, I suppose. It's fiddly but doable. They are 1/150 scale and mostly between 1-1/4 and 2-1/4 long. The steel parts come on steel sprues and you need tweezers and C/A adhesive for...

I enjoy an occasional* cookie. I quite like Trader Joe's Chocolate Hazelnut cookies. I made a knockoff. Two sand cookies glued together with melted chocolate. My sand cookie recipe is based on a standard sand cookie recipe with some modifications. I add an amount of ground, roasted hazelnuts...

I wonder what terrible thing could happen to a passenger in Row 13 that wouldn't also happen to everyone else on board? Me flying American Airlines: "Honey, look at those poor people in Row 13. Let's keep an eye on them!" Rows 14 and 17 are often absent, too.

My son wanted them wherever we went and now there's a large folder with hundreds of them from all over the country. They cost me only 51 cents each. :ROFLMAO: Does anybody else here have a bunch of those? On a side note, for $20 I will sign your $1 note. 😜 Here are few pressed pennies from...

I know my glue posts tend to be regarded as spam. So no more advice regarding the choice of adhesives from me. However, some may find the following helpful. I frequently use C/A glue and I tend to buy it in a 2 or 4-oz bottle because that's more cost-efficient. However, the tips of the bottles...

Opening a thread, I get randomly taken to Page 1 or the last page. Do others have the same experience?

If you only cook you may not need measuring spoons, although table and teaspoons come in handy. If you bake you may need the full arsenal of measuring spoons as baking is as much science as art and precision can be very important. Below is the typical range of measuring spoons. For the larger...
