Actually, it was something I'd heard a long, long, long time ago and have never looked up or read about since (that milk makes acid reflux worse). Looking it up now, it's not that the milk is acidic, it's that unless you're drinking skim milk, the fat in the milk causes an increase in stomach acid production (as will any fatty food). So if it's skim milk it probably won't make it worse.

So part of the statement I made is still correct (drinking milk when you have heartburn or acid reflux is probably not that good of an idea), but the underlying reason I believed that statement was incorrect. Can't remember where I heard the bit about milk being more acidic than citrus juice, it was somewhere in my childhood and I'd never seen or read anything to correct that mistaken belief until I looked it up just now.

e: I'm beginning to think I've found the reason why old people often make ridiculous/stupid claims: you hear something once in your childhood, never get corrected on it, and then 35 years later you're pretty sure you've heard it somewhere but can't quite remember where. The difference is unlike a lot of old farts, I'm not someone who's unwilling to change his position when presented with contrary evidence. I like to be corrected, as I hate inaccurate info as much as anyone.

Or you're just full of poo poo, don't know how to duck out, and would rather double down.

North Florida/Panhandle. Good neighborhood too; my mother, her sister, and their parents all live on the same street as this place. I'm not sure about living that close to that much of my family but for that kind of money I'm not sure I care.

At the time I was looking for a home, I was living in my parents basement, and I was considering everywhere within an hour of the city but I actually ended up buying a house less than 2 city blocks away. My brother later purchased his own house and now lives within a 10 minute walk. If you can tolerate your family then it's not a bad arrangement.

I plan on building whateverthefuck I want.

I wanted a TIG machine, and while inverters are nice they aren't all that great in the lower price ranges. I asked around and found that a guy that frequents the same bar is a retired machinist and has all kinds of poo poo in a sea container that he's been sitting on for nearly 10 years now. He doesn't necessarily want to part with any of it, but if it's going to a good home he'll reluctantly sell it as he needs extra cash.

He sold me that tank for $700. It came with a foot pedal ($250), 100 ft or more of 1/0 wire between the ground and stick stinger (another $300 or ), a cart, regulators and a full argon tank (owned not leased). So at that price I basically got the welder for free.

Having an inverter, especially for aluminum (variable frequency and the ability to set clean/penetration) would be awesome, but there's been a lot of just about everything welded with these old beastly transformer machines so I figure I can get by just fine.

Hilarity specs: it weighs 500+ lbs (it's got a lifting eye on it and I had to hook it with the engine crane to get it off the truck into my garage) and has a max amp draw in the low 80s at 240v.

I have been eyeballing one of those inverter based tig machines myself. Again, im not in production, but it would be fun to gently caress around with. But I would rather save up my funds for a plasma cutter.

How much service do you have to your shop? I know most homes are around 200 amps, and a giant majority of sub panels are 100 amp. I know your new shop is set up well though.

quote:

Because regular cow’s milk contains a considerable amount of fat and is hard to digest, Rodriguez recommends drinking goat’s milk products instead. Like all high-fat foods, full-fat cow’s milk may relax the lower esophageal sphincter, which can cause reflux symptoms.

Opt for the lowest-fat options possible if you have to go with cow’s milk products. The McKinley Health Center at the University of Illinois includes skim milk as part of its recommended GERD diet. The UMMC notes that the protein contained in low-fat or skim dairy products may help strengthen muscles in the esophagus, which can help limit reflux symptoms.

Again, I had heard (somewhere in my childhood, so at least 25-30 years ago) drinking milk was bad for acid reflux, but the root cause of this that I had previously believed was incorrect (that milk was highly acidic, which obviously at a pH of 6.8 is untrue), and I admitted as such. It is good to know that some people define "admitting you made a mistake" as "doubling down", however.

I hear that. I looked into the local community college's offerings for welding and whatnot and you have to hit their whole loving program to get to the welding classes. Metallurgy 101 and the like. I'm sure that would be helpful and endlessly educational, but I really just want to find a welding class. My dad was a professional welder for years and he doesn't even own one.

gently caress customers. Make an impact wrench faster, smoother, quieter, more powerful, and more reliable and the customer thinks it's not longer as powerful because it doesn't make their ears bleed and give them hand-arm vibration syndrome.
