Today in what the hell is this- is the lovely photo quality hiding more sins than it's creating?

I assume the intent was to make it look like everything is either some kind of stone, or curly maple, but to me it looks more like everything's made out of raw OSB (oriented strand board, more or less cheap plywood).

I’m more interested in the asymmetrical hole cut in the cupboard doors to fit the oven.

My sister's in laws have this too (Italian)... they said one was the show kitchen and the other the practical one. It made sense because they also used the basement a ton for entertainment like watching movies and such.

Big family dinners and whatnot, canning, baking, tv watching. They are the only people I know that had a vcr with non-cordless remote control. And they didn't even get a VCR till the late 80s. They also had a "kitchen" out in the garage. Small sink, stove, fridge counters. They used that in the summer when there were even bigger family gatherings.

It's to make food for the weekly gathering of a ridiculous amount of relatives, even more ridiculous amounts on holidays, etc. My relatives usually used the upstairs kitchen for themselves, but the downstairs was in heavy use for gatherings, especially back in the days where there was no AC and using the kitchen upstairs + a ton of people would make the house way too drat hot.

I'm involved with some fairly clean physics experiments and we use a lot of guns for cleaning. The ion gun was ok, but the dry ice gun is pretty dope, although really they're just fancy compressed air blowers with fun names. Although actually I wouldn't want to get shot with the dry ice gun come to think of it.  That said if you're taking an ion gun through a TSA checkpoint in your carry on luggage, you should really let them know before it goes through the x-ray machine, it apparently triggers a lot of red flags.

That's an autoclave, basically a larger pressure cooker to sterilize lab equipment. So yeah, scientists did this.

There was a thing that went around a few years back about scientists using "explain it to the TSA" as a model for explaining their work to laymen because how often they travel with odd stuff from their work.

You mean lab assistants. Autoclaves are also have industrial uses, hospitals, etc. And given the pressure line is held on with a hose clamp, there is another pressure relief system there besides the release valve, probably, unless the main valve is closed while pressure inside the vessel is still rising (such as by heat or checmical reaction) but in that case I think the blow-off/relief valve there is also not involved. Which is why the pressure chamber itself ought to be designed with its own emergency relief mechanism, I would say. Regardless, it's someone wiring closed the relief probably because it keeps opening, and falls into that large class of cases of people intentionally defeating safety systems because they keep engaging and they have not cared to find out why or resolve the real issue.

I have two kitchens. When they built the house the wife ended up not happy with the main floor one, so they moved all the stuff (cabinets, stove, dw, micro,etc) to the basement and redid the main one. A year after the first was put in, lol. It's quite handy to have a full kitchen next to your gaming/tv room. Especially handy during holidays cooking and whatnot.

My method was "I don't have room in my carry-on, you take it". Also no laser gun, but a lot of what we're cleaning is poo poo like Teflon, dunno how a high powered laser would work with that. Probably too melty.

Platystemon posted:The photo was taken with flash and a long shutter speed. That was shot without flash, and the camera auto-compensated to its lowest shutter speed & aperature. It is difficult (but not impossible) to get a clear image when shooting free-hand at speeds below 1/30 sec. If there had been a flash, the image would have burned-in even below 1/30 because of the speed of the flash, unless the shooter intentionally whipped the camera around while triggering the shutter. You'd also see flash flare in the glass of the oven door. PainterofCrap fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Aug 10, 2018 |

You have a point about glare on the oven but look at the double image from the door frame in the left foreground and the trip to the right of the oven: Now I’m thinking it’s strobing room lights at work, e.g. a fluorescent lamp with a magnetic ballast.
