    Howdy! Welcome to Lemmy! Thank you for responding.

    I’ve never had a kidney stone and hope I never do. Paternal grandfather would get them.

    You’re a sick fuck. Probably be in good company here. I was up all night working on a presentation for our local BDSM community.

    From what I know about sounding: Purchase quality stainless sounds. They should be passivated and have a high polish. They should be boiled for sterilization and you should use sterile lube. Go slow, they should slip in by their own weight, don’t force them. Lot of guys get a whole lot of pleasure from them.

    Personally, I have a double urethra. Two holes inside the slit of my cock. Like an over-under shotgun, if that makes sense. No way in hell I’m trying sounding. Have been cathed in the hospital, both tubes join into one somewhere back in there.

    I think McMaster’s transition from catalog to website is brilliant. I’ve had younger crew be amazed when I gave them an old catalog; like keep it in the break room and flip through it while looking at McMaster on their phone.

    I do wonder why they kept the black and white pictures.











  • Yup. I can smell a cucumber being cut across the house. Finding out I can tell sushi places to leave out the cucumber has been amazing.

    It’s also in cantaloupe, honeydew, yellow squash, pumpkins to a greater or lesser degree, some acorn squash. Zucchini almost never has it and I love it lightly grilled. I’ve found it in homegrown zucchini before, but never in commercial.

    I hate yellow squash even when well cooked but I think that has more to do with childhood, or maybe it has an additional something in it. I can strongly taste when other food has been cooked with squash. Can also smell that musty smell when it’s being cut that is different from cucumber/watermelon.

    I hate almost all watermelon and other fruits in the squash family. Similar to cilantro and soap, there is a lesser known bitter chemical that I’m a supertaster of. I can taste if a slice of cucumber is dipped in a gallon of water. Love pickles, however, as cooking destroys the chemical. Those fake-ass refrigerated cucumbers in vinegar sold as premium pickles can suck my balls, especially when a restaurant puts them on a sandwich.

    Yellow meat moon and star watermelons don’t have this chemical, btw.

    Anyhow, grew up farming. The thump test is the superior test for melons. There’s a note they ring at that means a properly ripe and sugary melon, can’t explain it. My wife has me pick out melons for her and the kids. Everything else is mostly superstition or unreliable like field spots. I can consistently pick a good melon or warn if I can’t find a good one.



  • For a large chunk of my career, I worked in aerospace and ‘defense’ machining. Made all kinds parts for all kinds of weapons, it was really cool! Murica! As I got older, I lost my religion, I lost the far right brainwashing I was raised with.

    My hands were making weapons that the US government was often selling to other countries. My hands were making weapons to kill various groups of brown people all over the world. It really began to bother me.

    I no longer make things to kill people.

    Yes, you are culpable for the effects of what you produce in your profession. A thinking person should consider the effects of their work.
