This app/services is useful for working out parts of songs. You upload an audio file, leave it to process for a minute and you get a dashboard with separate tracks for each instrument. From there you can playback with, say, all instruments’ volume down, except guitar to home in on the solo. It’s much easier to hear what’s going on. You can slow down and export sections to new audio files. When I’ve done this, I’ve replayed short chunks in QuickTime on repeating loops. https://moises.ai

This all probably sounds nuts, but here are my oil systems:

I wash out and recycle glass jars, but peanut butter jars are difficult to clean and will end up getting fat into the water system. So I keep the peanut butter jars for oil.

I also keep a bendy, steel decorating pallet in the kitchen for scraping out fat from the grill tray and rack. You’re left with some fat that you can wipe off with kitchen paper, which you can also use to wipe the pallet knife. Then washing up liquid and a splash of boiling water from the kettle.

There can be quite a lot of oil in leftover food, like sauces, too. I use a silicone spatula to scoop it off before washing.

Yes, but not just your own pipes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatberg

Thank you. I think the decades-old chemistry-class flashback distracted me from thoroughly absorbing the full post!

Good idea, but apparently not possible: According to Sky News “Mr Steele says he has no means of recouping his costs from UK assets owned by Trump, because the golf courses that bear his name in Scotland are held in trust structures.”

Thank you (4 now added!)

They told me at school that ‘p’ meant ‘negative log’. So ‘pH’ means ‘the negative log of the concentration of Hydrogen ions in moles/litre’.

pH 1 is 1 x 10^-1 (strong acid)

pH 7 is 1 x 10^-7 (neutral)

pH 14 is 1 x 10^-14 (alkaline)

(Chemistry was a long time ago, though)

I was going to change the machine heads on a cheap, ancient guitar but ended up taking them apart, cleaning and putting a little fresh grease on. Pretty quick job.

Nice!

I have an Ibanez acoustic from the late 1980s. It doesn’t look as smart as yours but sounds good, keeps tune and is comfortable.

Yeah…it’s worth checking that your face is centralised.

Last week my wife ran a video call at work with the camera on her cleavage.

I have used OpenOffice on Macs.

Also there are some free Apple apps that aren’t installed by default. (GarageBand and one for making gifs)

That sounds right. I think I remember paying for iWork back then too.

Oh, same problem as flammable and inflammable.

Thankyou! I can not stand it either.

I don’t like it either but I just remember D for despatch.

What I struggle with is the inconsistency in Zoom shortcuts in Apple apps.

This would make sense, although I seem to remember being told that hosing can be used to pump warm air from the top of the warehouse down. So cheap , environmentally friendly heating.

If OP knows weather it sucks or blows, we might have this one solved!

Good luck 🤞

Obviously, it’s impossible to know from here, but I had a knee flare up that took ages to recover from. I couldn’t run and walking, getting up/down from chairs was painful.

The thing that helped was seeing a physio. I’d tried all kinds of voodoo (neoprene supports, etc) before that, and postponed recovery.

She got me to stretch, stand on one leg, etc and watched how I moved. Eventually, she gently pushed her thumb onto the inner side of my knee cap—OUCH, THAT’S IT! It was immensely painful, but I realised that all the nagging pain was from this very specific area. It wasn’t like normal pain, where the source hurts most and it’s obvious what’s wrong and where it is.

She gave me some self-massage and stretch exercises, which helped. I still do them for a couple of minutes a couple of times a week, just to prevent a comeback.

Ouch!

I lost about an hour of my life trying to create a historical timeline in MS Excel. Eventually learned this is impossible with dates earlier than 1900.

I think that that callback is the only way.
