Background - I’m a small batch potter. For the last few years I’ve been using an old sitter kiln that I upgraded to a digital controller. I can really pack in stuff for bisque firings but I’m finding it a bottle neck for glaze firings. It still works surprisingly well and bricks are in great shape despite being older than I am. However I’m looking to buy a larger kiln that I can use for glaze firings and keep the old one for bisque firings only.

The problem- I’ve been looking at kilns for weeks now and I can’t really decide which brand kiln to get. I see pro’s to all of them and I’m getting stuck on which one to get and if one is better than the other. I’m leaning toward eitherOlympic or l

For context he is a senior dog and had a really bad case of pancreatitis a year ago after eating wet cat food. He has remained on ursodiol due to an enlarged bile sack. We are visiting my parents for the holiday and didn’t realize my sisters cats food was left out. We believe he ate around a half cup to a cup of dry royal canin so urinary cat food.

Do we need to worry about this or will this one time thing be ok?

I’ve been looking online and can’t make it thru the endless ad’s and articles that are obviously paid endorsements.

I’m looking for an inflatable that can accommodate lake floats and easy river floats. Looking for stability and pack ability as the river floats could require some hike in/hike outs. Ideal price range would be 400-800. Any suggestions?

I had a situation last year where I had a surplus of FSA funds at the end of the year and when I was looking on my account servicer’s website I noticed one of their partners was a company called truemed which has a whole plethora of items for purchase from saunas to bikes. I have an actual history of high blood pressure and have been told by my PC that biking is a good low impact form of cardio. I did some more research and it looked like this would be an acceptable purchase with an LMN.

Truemed provided the LMN and it has been denied by the servicer of the account and now by my employer. I’m trying to see if there is anything I can do here to fight this. I feel that

Trying to figure out which size I’m needing. I’m 6’0” so I’m at the limit on the XM but middle of the road for the Lg. Anyone have any knowledge they can share?

I’ve got a rog ally x and I have been having issues with consistency for emulation station. Controller inconsistencies and now I’m not able to get my save data to load for dolphin. I can see the save file in the folder but when I start dolphin through emulation station it will not load my previously saved game. It’s also not loading save states. I’ve got no issues with any of my other steam games or game pass games. Only emulation station. I’m wondering if I should just uninstall and reinstall everything or if anyone else has any suggestions.

Long story short, my grandfather was a lifelong wood worker but passed away a few months ago. A few years before he passed we moved stuff into a storage space. This included some beautiful live edge slabs and rough cut boards of oak, cedar, and walnut. I was going to use the wood to build some shelves out of and use the live edge stuff for a bar in my home. When we went to take it out of storage I noticed a lot of piles of dust and silverfish in between the oak boards. There was no indication that they were in the cedar and walnut but they were stacked adjacent to each other with edges touching.

Is this wood still usable? If so how do i make sure that I kill the infestation so I don’t brin

My wife has been scouring most brands for a sub 6k bike size sm but every time she picks one she like the color on as well as the spec, it’s never available online or we’ve got to drive 800 miles for it. The few she can find in her size are either a downgrade from what she has now, or a few thousand over budget. I feel like most are 2026 bikes but they’re already sold out. Is this normal or will they restock at the new year? TBH the last time we bought bikes were in 2021 during the “take what we have now or wait 14 months on this back order list”. So I’m not sure if this is normal or not but I was thinking we were past those day.

Looking for some insight/advice on which test would be the better option for me. I graduated with a BS in Mech E, but I t’s been long enough that I dont remember a lot of the stuff needed. However I’ve been working in MEP since graduation (10 years) and would like to get my PE.

Is there enough overlap between arch e and mech e tests that I could just take the architectural version? Which would be easier to take?

Does anyone have a formula they’d be willing to share on how to mix my own dark brown clay body? I’ve been using KY mudworks brown bear for a while but I’m throwing more and it’s really getting expensive. I have quite a bit of mid-fire b-mix that I would like to use for this.

I’ve got oxides and stains at my disposal and a general understanding about how to physically mix and test the clay bodies. So, at this point I’m about to just start trying stuff and see what sticks. However I wanted to see if anyone had any info they’d be willing to share so I don’t go mad over the next few months.

Thanks!

I feel like the r1 has really decreased in quality in the past 5 years and I’m wondering if I’m unique in thinking this?

I’ve been loyal to the 3/4 zip hoodie for over 10 years. The first one I had was literally bomber proof. I backpacked, climbed, ran, and fished in this thing for years. Literally lived in the thing 75% of the year for 4-5 years. I finally had to retire it because I wore holes in it. I bought another one in 2021 and it was literally falling apart in a month. I kept it for a few months more chalking it up to I must have caught it on something or whatever. But as the months went by, more stitching came undone. I ended up returning to rei and swapped it for a full zip air w
