Where I live, we are still in the winter/spring cycle, so we have a mud season. That is mainly what this is referencing. But to your point, we have been very fortunate with our winter precipitation and our positioned to be better off than much of the western US. I hope you get some moisture and don’t have a repeat of what I saw in Portugal ❤️
That was pretty helpful! I have heard that the ice on some of the flat land lakes can be a few feet thick, and up higher can be 10+. I guess that is enough!
I also appreciated the polar bear weight unit 😄
Near me, I see folks out on ice like this. I always wonder about the safety (especially when they have machines out there) but it looks like fun! I hope you can get out there sometime soon.
I don’t understand why I can’t see this on my instance, but I can on yours. Awesome picture (and jay)!
These look pretty adorable.
Colkegan from Santa Fe Spirits in pretty interesting. NM is blue for now.
Mull is supposedly no longer being developed.
Blind horses are so handsy… We had a blind pony as kids and found he did better with stuffed animals tied in the barn. We slept with them a couple days before hand and it changed his behavior a lot.
I did not know that Mull was dead. Thank you for sharing! I will have to make a change.
When I first got involved in this, I had a kbin and a lemmy account. I ended up focusing on the kbin, but it was useful to have the lemmy to see how things moderated. Kbin is dead now, but I still will occasionally use the lemmy to see how things look. I find it valuable. As an mbin person now, I think I should have some other instances in the mix as well. It’s a federation, and for me, I would like things to be appropriate for all of us. It’s kind of fun! Even if I am not a big user of other instances/federations?
They are cancelling, effectively, many other things, too. Many of us have required ongoing training to do our jobs. We cannot travel for anything. So many levels of safety are at risk.
A great example of how these folks do not care about things unless it happens to them. I am glad they are getting the vaccine, but I hope they push their “network” to do the same.
The important thing is tension, for the thread to be tight. If you can do this, happy engineering! My similar machine, tension on the string is hard, more with a longer length/step.
I am not an engineer, either 🤔 I see your front picture, my machine is similar. I would not be able to change anything myself. As @[email protected] mentioned, these really are highly engineered. If you change one thing, you must change everything.
I understand you know how to change the step length that can be changed now, yes? You say <2mm to 5mm. My very similar machine can go to almost 10mm but it cannot keep the thread very tight. This is the limiting thing, the machine, every part, is designed for sewing a length of 2-8mm or whatever. A longer stitch step would need a complete change and probably a stronger motor.
By moving the knob or lever that changes the stitch step length, you will see what is going on.
If you want to have a longer “step,” you will probably need a larger machine. The limit of that length factors in things like the max thread size and how much tension the machine can maintain. Your machine is for sewing clothes, the longer stitch lengths will be for a more decorative use and would not be durable as a main support stitch.
What communities/instances are these from?
It is great basin, but none of those places 🙂
Unfortunately there is a long history in the US of fudging unemployment numbers. Maybe not common, but it happens. This seems more like the Nixon deal (shocker).
Great post for [email protected] also!
