Garbage disposals are motorized shredders that fit into the drain on a kitchen sink. It allows you to grind any waist that falls into the . While the benefits of composting definitely outweigh the potential benefits of grinding all your food waste, I still think there is benefit in having a garbage disposal. Some food waste will inevitably fall through to the drain and can cause buildup in the drain pipe, which will result in costly repairs at some point.

Every place I’ve ever lived has always had a garbage disposal. This is definitely more common in the US, particularly in urban areas so I recognize that not everyone may have one. However, this sink looks exactly like my current kitchen sink so I subconsciously assumed there would be one.

Which side has your garbage disposal? You may want to avoid using the side without the disposal for washing so you don’t accidentally wash down large food waste that will clog your drain.

It actually really simple. High-pitch, high intensity (around 150 Db) sound projected directly towards your ears causes pain to your ears. If you’re close enough then it can permanently damage your hearing. It can also blow out some microphones so many recordings of this from a victim’s perspective don’t actually contain audio of the actual deterrent sound.

This depends on a lot of factors like distance, direction, and original intensity. But it can be painful or worse, cause permanent hearing loss.

All good info. A bit outside of this post context but helpful nonetheless.

Good advice but the respirator doesn’t wrap around the ears so in the context of acoustic protection/reflection it doesn’t seem effective. I agree that a shield is conspicuous… I’m just spitballing about total effectiveness in theory. I like the end of the video shared above where the concave parabolic shape of the shield (when reversed) was used to redirect the LRAD sound at the operator. Pretty cool seeing a vulnerability in a system exploited in that way.

Thanks for sharing this video! It’s a great resource. $5 shop headphones and a polycarbonate shield you can make for under $100 beats a $20,000-$100,000 LRAD. I wonder if ear plugs, shop headphones, and a shield would be any more effective.

Light olive oil on the crust before topping with sauce. Corn meal or corn meal/salt mixture under the crust to help absorb moisture trapped underneath. Perforated pans also help. I also cook at a higher temperature. 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to preheat. A brick oven or pizza stone will help with consistent heating.

Maybe take a look at CanI.RootMy.TV. Seems to be mainly focused at LG WebOS but I’m not sure what vendor, model, and firmware you’re running. If you provide some more specific information you might get some more helpful answers for the situation you described. I totally respect that you might have left some detail out for privacy.

Predicting Trump and co are going to start saying Wall Street went woke and corporate boards are being paid for their opposition by China and George Soros. All the greatest hits.
