No it definitely isn’t I’ve never heard of honey on pancakes only on toast. Maple syrup is the normal pancake topping. We actually can get the real stuff pretty easily where I am too because Minnesota is practically Canada.

I’m a usaian and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of pancakes with honey. Could be a regional thing though. The country is a big place.
- Comment on How to get greasy spots out of wooden cutting board properly? 6 days ago:
There is literal food grade mineral oil for this exact purpose along with lubricating food making equipment. It’s basically completely inert and is sometimes even used as a food ingredient. You can straight up drink a jug of the stuff with no health repercussions other than the violent greasy shits you would get from drinking any oil. Just because it’s a petroleum product doesn’t automatically mean its bad for you.

I wana be growing and firing teeth out of my jawbone like bullets and become the worlds most horifying superhero/villain. ~haven’t decided which yet~
- Comment on Humans May Be Able to Grow New Teeth Within Just 4 Years 1 week ago:
It’s the same study that’s been in process for about a decade. It entered human trials last year with those trials expected to take 5 years. Growing teeth is slow. It’s not really being pushed, it’s just the same reliable hit for various news sites to break out on slow news days.

- Comment on Someone has a LOT of dusty computers 2 weeks ago:
At that point just buy a a 5lb CO2 tank. That’s what I use in my work van. It’s a bit more expensive upfront but it’ll last longer, it’s refillable, higher pressure, and the cost of refills makes it cheaper per pound of gas. If you want to get really fancy then you also put a regulator on it so you aren’t dusting as 700 PSI but that’s optional. Plenty of my coworkers just tap straight off the tank.
- Comment on YSK: The Lethal Danger Of Combining Welding And Brake Cleaner 2 weeks ago:
Normally phosgene isn’t quite that deadly. If you catch it full concentration then you’re in for a bad time as your lungs start blistering but that definitely isn’t something that happens from a small leak unless its also in a confined space. I’ve gotten a face full of phosgene a few times on the job and you definitely notice it. Idk what it smells like because to me it just smells like pain. It feels like you just took a huff off a bottle of drain cleaner. If you get hit with enough of it, it’ll leave you short of breath and your chest burning but the only time I ever got hit with that much was the time I took a plasma cutter to an old refrigerant can I had forgotten to purge with nitrogen first while working in a closed garrage.
Suffice it to say, you would definitely know it if you got exposed to any significant amount of phosgene.
- Comment on YSK: The Lethal Danger Of Combining Welding And Brake Cleaner 2 weeks ago:
Fun fact older refrigerants also broke down into phosgene under high temps. The old school way to identify a compressor burn out was to take a whiff of the refrigerant. If your sinuses started burning from the phosgene then that means you need to do a burn out cleanup.
Newer refrigerants are much more safe, they just break down into hydrogen floride which turns into hydroflouric acid on contact with water. Nothing leaves you quite as invigorated as hydroflouric acid suddenly forming in your lungs, sinuses, throat, and eyes.

- Comment on same shit every day, on god 5 weeks ago:
We’ll need a shit ton of that purple PVC glue though.
Nope, because you can’t use PVC for piping steam. You’re going to need to use metal pipe. Iron pipe is the cheapest bet but it’s such a pain to work with. Personally I’d run copper. I think that’s to code for low pressure steam anyways.
Wait, if it’s going into space then whos building codes are we using?

- Comment on how do plants in a green house get enough co2? 5 weeks ago:
Plants don’t actually use up all that much CO2. An entire greenhouse worth of plants wouldn’t even consume as much CO2 as your body produces. Most oxygen produced on earth and CO2 consumed is done by algae. Land plants like trees can sequester more CO2 because they grow larger and use it to build their bodies but they do so slowly over the course of years.
So I guess plants don’t suffocate in greenhouses for the same reason that you wouldn’t if you sat around in a greenhouse. There is enough air infiltration through cracks and gaps in the walls that sufficient air gets exchanged to keep it breathable.

- Comment on How would I make a HVAC simulator to see what a thermostat would do if the indoor temp was 400°F 1 month ago:
HVAC-R tech here.
Not sure what you mean about simulating high temps on the thermostat. If you want to trick the thermostat into seeing a higher temp than it is actually at then you would need to find the temp sensor on the thermostat (usually a thermistor) and replace it with something where you can manually control the input like a potentiometer if there was a thermistor there.
If you’re talking about simulating calls from your thermostat to your hvac system, then you can usually do that with just some jumper wires if your hvac system has a built in transformer (almost all new systems do). You just remove the thermostat and jumper the hot wire (R or Rc) to whatever call you want to make.

heat pumps don’t actually create heat
🤓 ACKSHUALLY
Heat pumps create a fair bit of heat due to friction and electrical resistance in the compressor.

That still requires a turbine to turn the steam into electricity. If turbines are the shortage then nuclear doesn’t solve the shortage.

I was actually tier 3 support. I just also happened to be the sole support for one specific area which meant even low level tickets from there got automatically directed to me.
Earlier hyperbole aside, I honestly fuckin love my job now. If I didn’t rely on having an income, I would still be doing this for free. But working a desk job drove me nuts. I’m sure it’s great for a lot of people but I just can’t do it.
- Comment on exausting 3 months ago:
The trades can attract fairly diverse people because you don’t have to fit into an office. Generally you’re just given your work and you’re expected to do it. Welders especially can easily be specialized enough that they can’t really be micromanaged.
- Comment on exausting 3 months ago:
As a current tradesman who is regularly burned, electrocuted, and cut on the job while rolling around in filthy crawl spaces, dragging 100 lb of gear up a ladder onto scorching rooftops, or freezing inside walk in deep freezers… working in IT was way worse.
I would sooner stick my tongue in a 480V panel than have to go back to answering “printer don’t work” tickets.
- Comment on How can I store a used water filter canister? 3 months ago:
If microbes are the concern then A UV system is going to be a whole lot cheaper in the long run. The UV bulbs in those are usually rated for 1 year of continuous use and if you only run it when there is a boil warning then it’ll last much longer than that. It looks like one of those will run you right about $100 which pays for itself pretty quick when compared to the cost of the more expensive filters.
