I made a magnetizer coil

Can you become Magneto if you put your hand inside the coil?

My pre-BF Haul

Elegoo Mars4 DLP resin printer
Anycubic wash and cure station
Crucial 2TB SSD

Not BF-related

Nike Ballastera 2 fencing shoes

 

[Ajay]

Santa came early (because of BF discounts):


Plus stuff to mount it to the wall. Was a good deal @ BB. If the box was 1" longer, it wouldn't have fit in our CR-V.

Is that a sled?

 

[lxskllr]

Is that a sled?

Kind of. It's trademark name is JetSled. It's geared towards hunters and fishermen for hauling gear and animals into/out of the back country. You could downhill sled in it, but it isn't ideally formed for that purpose.

...bodies....good to know.

Why can’t the animals walk out on their own?

People just being nice, and not making them perform work to move. Kind of a humanitarian gesture of sorts.

How else do you get a moose drunk, and take them home????

Well, the Espresso Machine we wanted finally went on sale. Apparently the list price went up since I first looked at it after getting back from Italy so a bit more expensive than expected, oy vey.

Why this one?

 

[Ajay]

Why this one?

Price and ratings. It helps the Breville is fairly ubiquitous - and we've had good luck with other products from them. There are better options, but at silly prices. I'm not looking to become a professional barista.

I gave up on the whole espresso machine thing twenty years ago xd. Don't miss it.

My wife got this one for us for Christmas last year. I love it and pretty much never drink regular coffee anymore, easily put 1000 cups through it by now.

There’s a third party hopper replacement that allows for measuring a single dose of beans by weight with an external scale, and it has bellows to blow the last of the grounds through. The timer system is a bit unreliable for getting the dose right and some old grounds tend to get stuck, which come through and mess with subsequent cups.

Well my cat Noodles that I adopted in summer 2022, he methodically destroyed my rather nice succulent collection and I got rid of the damaged goods that were left this summer. I wanted something to put in their place, turns out, LEGO succulents. Put them all together last night

Kinda impulse Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal purchase.

2000W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter (New Edition)

Renogy 2000W 12V pure sine wave inverter transforms the DC into AC power, offers quiet operation with slight buzzing sounds and protects your electronics, safe and reliable

ca.renogy.com

2000w inverter for $324 total (after taxes etc).

Been eyeing a generator to have emergency power for the rare chance of long power outage but decided I'll just put an inverter in the truck and use that as the generator. It's only for emergency power anyway so efficiency is not a huge issue. In a power outage situation I'd run it for like an hour to top up the solar battery at night. Doing it this way means no need to keep separate jerry cans around or cycle gas etc.

Jaysus Krist I can build PC's and make graphs in Minitab and change my own bicycle wheels, but I doubt I could run that contraption.

I sometimes toy with getting a fancy espresso machine, but I've been ok with having the grinder and drip machine separate. The espresso gives more control I imagine though.
