That design is known as “Ball and Claw”. It likely originated in the east with some symbolism, but when it went west, craftsman thought it looked cool and started copying it with minor changes.

What happens if you just put the water in the bag, seal it, and freeze it in a shape? Rods might be easier then blocks, but wonder if it would make clear ice?

For the vacuum pressure pulling, are you doing that in a chamber sealer then freezing the bag?

That’s not entirely true. Texas seems to have a problem with people leaving for various services and it’s a federal crime to transport certain flora between states, even if it is fine in both states.

Write an“installed on” date on them so that you remember be to change them in 10 years.

Indy 5 felt like an Indy film, which was really nice. My only 2 notes for them to work on would be 1) more practical effects, avoid CGI except for the “supernatural” scene and 2) I appreciate they used the practical effects of speeding up playback for the tuk tuk chase, but it felt too sped up, almost campy.

Overall though, after seeing 4 in a midnight showing and it being the movie that caused me to never go to another midnight showing, 5 was excellent!

If you have a 2 stage furnace, this may actually be a thing.

Actually it’s by design! Right side is for the lower ports, that’s why there’s the number with an arrow above it.

To build on your comment: cost of living has a surprisingly fixed price. Different qualities of living don’t cost massively different. If the average person has to spend their whole earnings on living an “average life”, if you make 2x and want to live twice as nice of a life, it likely only cost 1.5x the “average life”. Earning 2-3x opens up a lot of luxury even though it may not seem like it.

There are a couple avenues of attack:

1. The camera- It the camera can’t see the board, it can’t provide moves. An IR blaster may be a valid tool to blind the camera, but not the player. This could be a battery and LED with a switch that is placed next to the board.
2. The internet connection - If the AI can’t talk to where the processing is happening, it can’t get answers. Anything from a jammer to a metal cage would work here, but watch your legality.
3. The device itself - anything to stop the device from working. This could be a EMP, but that’s rather non-selective.
4. The board - limiting information from the board in a way humans can understand but AI currently can’t. This could be as simple as only showing half of a board at any time.

The IR blaster is likely your best bet, else it might be time for a ruling of “no electronic glasses at the board”.

Ok, take a nap, THEN FIRE ZE MISSLES!

When someone from your social groups is having motorcycle, lawnmower, model airplane, tool or general home repair issues, do you give them your father’s number?
