Linda Moulton Howe or the most expensive industrial waste material ever... ("35 000$ for your plight")

As many here, i have seen the quite comical interview of LMH by Jaimungal. And this has me doing some very gentle and superficial research about her whole deal than even as minimal revealed quite interesting things...

First i'll set aside the most comical as the fact she couldn't tell if Kangaroos were mammals (!) or telling that our species was 45 000 years old (when we have skulls dating back to 300 000...). Or the fact that even Jaimungal the pushover managed to put her in innumerable difficulties (check this excellent post for an example : https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/s9te7r/linda_moulton_howe_completely_embarrassed_herself/ )

Or the fact that she has a communication degree :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4OuAAM4v_Y

(Yes i know this was easy but i couldn't refrain from...)

Let's cut to the chase :

So about the Bismuth sample LMH had. She says that she gave it in 1996 to "a scientist" to analyze it. This "scientist" was Nicholas A. Reiter ( https://www.coasttocoastam.com/guest/reiter-nicholas-6668/ ). But contrary to what she said, he didn't conclude that this sample was particular or strange at all.

Quite the contrary ! Here's his report :

http://www.ufowatchdog.com/howeufodebris.htm

The most important part quoted here, for TLDR :

> At the most basic of levels, we would freely state that the artifact portion provided by LMH does NOT seem to be composed of elements or compounds which are unknown. Nor is it composed of alloys that appear to be of a purity or combination beyond the scope of current material science. The artifact bears a strong resemblance to irregular layered residue often found in large physical vapor deposition (PVD) coaters

>My own opinion is that the artifact probably represents a curious piece of industrial by-product from the thin films industry or a Mg casting plant. However, until a match-up is found, I will not rule out the possibility of a more unusual origin.

Open ending, right ? Wrong : he found a "match-up" in 2001 :

> Notes, as of November 2001:
>
> The combination of bismuth and magnesium had eluded us for four years. But then one day, we found a reference to an obscure industrial process used in the re

Making a couple burn barrels to safely burn my yard waste. What would be the best material to make a cover? Would hardware cloth stand up to the heat?

We both got super busy when we moved in last year, and ended up with a giant row of tumbleweeds. A lot of people around just burn in the open, but I'm not really comfortable doing that, so I picked up a couple 55 gallon metal barrels to burn in.

At first, I went all Gung ho and stuffed a bunch of weeds in and lit it. Immediately I just created a giant smoke cloud and was like oh shit I better drill some holes for airflow. So I'm working on that at the moment, but also think that I should have some kind of cover screen to prevent embers from flying out everywhere. Obviously, I'm not going to burn in windy conditions but I would still like to have another layer of safety.

So, I'm wondering if 1/4in hardware cloth would hold up well enough to the fire, or should I try and find something else? What would work better? Any other tips for burning safely?

Anyone feel like conversations by text are a waste of real conversation material?

When I'm getting to know someone who texts a lot, I feel like the more things we reveal to each other through apps/chats mean we don't have the opportunity to learn about those things when we actually go on dates.

If someone reveals something about themselves on a date, it can organically become a conversation and generate other topics - one question could create half an hour of good conversation. But if you were to reveal that info through a chat you might end up only getting a few messages back and forth, and then that topic isn't really available to talk about when you go out.

I know it sounds weird talking about conversation material in this way, I can just be a bit awkward and feel like some conversation opportunities are wasted by too much text talking. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who feels differently particularly. (I've just met a really great girl and constantly want to text her - she's very responsive, and texts first a lot too - but this is holding me back.)

(Christmas) decorating your house is useless and waste of energy and material

I know that Christmas decorating varies a lot around the world. But when it comes to developed countries I often see houses and yards decorated all the way.

It's useless. It doesn't even look good ( I know this is an opinion and not factual). I wasn't gonna write this until I saw a video of delivery guy telling a homeowner to put on more decorations. Like stfu.

So my point is it barely has any value, couses different types of pollution, you barely see it becouse it's outside, and if it's to impress others it's all in vague. I hate it.

Decorate the inside of your house the way you like, I don't mind that.

English isn't my first language, so apologies for any mistakes.

Recycling printer waste (ruined prints/support material/unuseable filament string) at home

Does anyone have good success with recycling (and then using for future prints) of waste filament at home? There's this interesting student design project I ran across (link below) that also came with a design BOM (bill of materials) for both mechanical and electrical parts. Anyone have similar designs, or improved versions, and run them with great success? Worries I have are making it safe to be around (fumes) and user friendly enough, but would love to implement this someday!
