It certainly depends on your hotend but I'm able to get a bag of 20 for <10€ for my trusty old ender 3 (actually 4.17€ on AliExpress)

Driving ambulance cars and doing first aid, helping in kindergarten, retirement homes, homeless shelters, institutions for people with disabilities,...

The ambulance is probably the most popular position, you can also choose what you want to do to a certain extent.

can you not get 3rd party ones?

This exists in Austria. Males have to choose between 6 months of military or 9 months of public service. Interestingly enough the existence of the public service option has been a strong reason why people voted against removing the mandatory service some years ago.

There are research stations in Antarctica where it has like -60°C or lower on a typical day. There's an interesting post on stackexchange referencing the US Antarctica programme on about what clothing for these conditions should look like.

If you're looking for a cheap good one, get those super cheap ones from AliExpress/etc. Imho these are soo much better than anything else you can get in the consumer space, and even some commercial ones because they are super responsive. The only downsides are that they're relatively small so reading the display with a large bowl on top is a bit difficult and they're probably not super accurate, especially with low loading. But that's not really an issue for cooking. They take regular AAA batteries that last for ages and the thing costs like under 5€. I've had mine for like 8 yrs now and aside from a bit of liquid that got into the display it still works completely fine.

Here's the type I'm talking about:

How else do you use your nutmeg?

If you look closely, a green shell gets thrown. So that would work.

No one commenting about this being physically impossible (unless the car in front is significantly slower/stopped)?

+1 for mediawiki

Although you really need to consider the peer group you are working with, and make the contribution as little work as possible. In my experience, as soon as the course is over people won't want to do any extra work like change the formatting or integrating with existing materials. And requiring to use a specific format (even if it's something dead simple as markdown) might already be too much friction.

In my experience shared cloud storage (GDrive, Dropbox,...) works quite well, even if the feature set is very limited. Being able to simply plonk your .docx/.pdf/.whatever into there is very easy and low friction.

A different solution I saw that worked was a forum where you could also upload files that could be categorized into the different courses and were then accessible by others. If you were to self-host this, you'd really want to make sure somehow that it's not exploited to spread malware or worse.

Anyways, I wouldn't think too much about how well the material can be represented, but rather how you can get your peers to continuously contribute to it. The best representation is useless without the data going with it.

Kind of interesting that these have been a thing in Europe. It's all just regular taps and the few ones I have seen weren't very popular.

So I got my hands on some flower bulbs which are typically meant to be planted in spring and I was wondering what I could do with them now. To be concrete, I have

  • Dahlia
  • Mirabilis jalapa
  • Ixia

I'm in USDA zone 7b/8a and I could either place them on a south facing balcony or inside. I've also read that you can force flowers in a vase with some bulbs such as Hyacinths but I haven't read anything about that with the ones I have. Or should I just keep them in storage until next spring and plant them then?
