Really neat. Thanks.

So, they're not "sun-dried". Are the typical producers as misleading? - I REALLY don't like that. Yes, I read it in the preface.

Is there a difference between "refrigerator" pickles and just regular pickled cucumbers a.k.a. pickles? I thought preserving was the whole purpose of pickling.

I don't want to leave without saying something for the reason of acknowledgement, but I am speechless.

I thought sponge cake was cake w/o the egg yoke (??) I've also never known pound cake to be similar to sponge.

Could you do an Instructible on the repairing of CFLs? As I look at the amount of my failed "long life" lamps building, I couldn't help but want to possibly fix them (limited to simple electronic components). -Not to be cheap, but for a number of other reasons. Thank you.

"Save landfill (space?)": seriously?

One tip for the LEDs: Instead of buying rolls of SMD LEDs, one might want use one lamp as a donor. I am going to assume there will be small differences in LEDs; this will hold back the repairs by one lamp, but it makes things a little better in several ways.

Thank you

Hillarious demonstrations and replies to the comments. I have only one contention in the video: the banana is not indestructible; it was protected. (Also, I hope you weren't in too much danger from ricochet while shooting (lol) at it.)

Thanks for the description. I really think it was a bad choice of a name. Kine- implies motion; there is no motion. Ductile sand, to me, would have been better. Thanks for taking the time to describe it.

Looks static to me.

I'm glad there are comments regarding the title and the use of words as I have many problems with their usage. I have pretty much given this the distinction as micro- and macro-perspective. E.g. Make your own pancakes: "Get some pancake mix, and add water." vs. making them from scratch. Not being in the electonics design industry, I initially did not find it questionable (probably due to the degree of completeness of the IC.) But after reading, I thought "well the chip does most everything. This is wiring and programming". He about the current use and understanding of articulate, semantics and pronunciation. This all brings up much frustration to me. Thanks for the instuctable. There are things I occasionally would like to make-work, (furnace operation counter ...

There are things I occasionally would like to make-work, (furnace operation counter and temperature difference recorder), but I see it gets quite involved. (Currently it the metering is accomplished by an analog clock that goes on with the blower motor.)Thames again.

Came out good. I just wanted to comment on an observation I made a while ago. While dn. south (Arkansas and a little of others), I noticed that there is quite more state pride. It's not like you hear songs made like "Sweet Home Delaware". It was very interesting to me the individualness of the states; and was a great pride of our country and these type of people. I was also glad when I got home that I saw more State flags flown than I was aware of prior (Ohio); I still haven't bought a state shirt, but maybe I'll find a small yard flag. It seems to me, sadly, that global communication will change this. Things like "Tennessee Pride" bread. -not to be offensive, but those two red and black bearded Warner bros. cartoon characters were hilarious! Barefoot and all. If p...

If people want to take barefoot as "redneck" they should try and get out of the office and off the couch, and get reminded of reality. I hope you don't take anything written here offensive as nothing is meant to be; it just reminded me of things that once occurred to me. Does Dolly live in Tenn.? I believe so, and I do appreciate her attitude. Thanks.

Lol

Yes. Very useful.

I find the understanding of LEDs as opposed to filament lighting as confusing as working between time and frequency domains. I'm going to take that working with LEDs has its abstractness due to the nature of semiconductors. My initial reference is that all current flows because of voltage differential or "pressure". The LED element of the circuit has its operating ranges and functions. This is why I have reservations about accepting "current limiting" as the key design focus. -that's not saying it isn't critical.This is all because of my tinkering with accent LED lighting in my car. I also couldn't understand why I saw flickering in LED taillights from a DC system. I now know this is because of the use of pulsing (Pulse Width Modulation) to achieve the desired ...

I also couldn't understand why I saw flickering in LED taillights from a DC system. I now know this is because of the use of pulsing (Pulse Width Modulation) to achieve the desired operation, luminosity (and, possibly, its durability). Similar to the typical maximum rated operating voltage of 250V for incandescent bulbs and other appurtenances (switches) commonly specified but not paid much attention to. It may also be that the spectrum and bounds for LEDs are much smaller, and this is why it is necessary to heed.Sorry for the tangent, but I see there is a lot of confusion about the fundamental issue, nomenclature and use, and I am not the only one getting tripped up. I am going to also take voltage "drop" equal to nominal supply voltage since the reference level is zero and the differential is numerically equal in each case. I'm not sure reverse voltage is ever much encountered, but is a necessary specification to disclose. -similar to the rating of a very weak check valve.Thanks

Ahh, thanks. Our "flashlights" used to commonly have a momentary button for flashing besides the on/off slider. I "assumed" that was for Morse code.

Thanks. Yes, I don't see why it, then, isn't called "voltage drop". I'm seeing the case where scientist people are "in too deep" and losing their reference. This is applying to the health/medicine field too; e.g. I don't call alcoholism a "disease". Thanks, -out.

Oh boy. All the typical difficulties I somehow subconsciously know. Another compliment on great instructions! What a dismal item in the to/should-do list. Well envisioned and made tools.

Does "forward voltage" refer to voltage forwarded to or from? If to, how is this any different than what has been normally under stood as voltage (supplied/ required etc...)?

Then why aren't all the LEDs I have on DC not burned up?

I don't know why the enthusiast group refers to these as "torches". I don't see a fire.

Now that's a good idea. It covers all the problems.

An inapparant (and inexpensive) option to have in the "box" of tricks. The thicker (typically older) coat hangers look only to be usable. Thanks.

I wonder if a double, pointed cut would help in keeping it from veering.

Great captures; great photos; must be a great proximity trigger. No wonder they say English is the hardest language to learn. The inconsistency is ridiculous.

The "rocket" name comes from a small cross-sectional areaway burning chamber that produces a rumbling sound reminding people of a rocket's engine sound. These "rocket heaters" are built with insulated flues that enable near-complete combustion. The intent for these heaters is to get all the heat out of the fuel (cleaner exhaust air is also a result). A smaller opening is used to ensure air direction to the fuel, from the occupied space, while desired, less fuel source (wood) is needed. In order to get the drafting going, it has to initially be blown in that direction until the draft can be perpetually maintained. Typically, ordinary blower motors downstream of heat will not last and a plug-type blower is used for high temperature exhaust. I would think sucking the h...

I would think sucking the hot gases down and away from the pit will be wasting lots of heat yet the evacuation of fumes to the user is "desirable". -You just can't win. This table is only good for certain use, and this is why furnaces are made.

Welding: Yes, there is some use of the word where "brazing" in being referred to as "welding". They're close, but different. Similar to the difference between absorbing and adsorbing.
