I was gong to get one of those also, and I read that some people just use heat instead, and a mini crock pot, I don't have one of those either, so I just use my coffee pot burner. I used it yesterday for about 4 hours, I measured the temp at 135 deg, and works good, I still let them sit for a while, and shake them once a day, but it works for me.

I need an ultrasonic cleaner... tried two of my first four DIYs, and they're passable at a week old, but need more steeping I think. :/

If you knew you would have to make a quick get away, wouldn't you turn the vehicle around and have it pointing in the direction of escape before you left it?

ETA: Dang! I missed a point. I knew one of the bad guys was going to smoke, but I forgot to post it. Anyone notice that the only people who smoke in shows anymore are bad people?
LOL, I love the way you break these things down. I'm always irritating the wife with comments about TV being nothing more than a thinly veiled social engineering tool, and how every show seems to have to include certain stereotypes, even when it is an awkward and unnecessary inclusion.

Okay, I'm watching the first season of Walking Dead on Netflix. I'm not handling the violence very well.

So there's white men; white women; black men; a hispanic guy; black and white kids; the stereotypical evil white trash guy; the stereotypical cool-headed black woman; the stereotypical genius asian guy; the stereotypical high-strung white chick. She's going to almost get someone killed. A sort-of fat guy. Who's missing?

The wounded guy (counts as disabled) who tells them all to go ahead since he's slowing them down, but they won't because he's cool.
The guy who was in prison (no one knows, but the cop figures it out. They have a bro-moment.)
A guy with a drinking problem (likely will almost get someone killed). He will probably be an unsympathetic character and we won't care when he dies).
The white teen girl who's a very good shot.
A pregnant woman.
A medically trained person. It could be a doctor, but a nurse would be more predictable. They will have to preform surgery, because they are the only one who has any medical training. This position could be filled by the Strong White Woman, but she also has to deal with the pregnant chick's difficult childbirth.
The white teen girl who's a very good shot.
Am I missing anyone? The Middle East and Native Americans aren't represented, but it's problematic. Without a good back story, the presence of either might make the audience feel the producers are going overboard with political correctness. While very unlikely, a half Native American guy with racial identity issues might be interesting. He could know The Ways of His People, but in denial. When one of the "important" guys is sick or wounded, he will breakdown and make a plant potion or something and save them...naw, too many characters.

Plot prediction: We haven't seen the last of evil white trash guy. He'll get free (which won't be shown) and suddenly shows up with his own group of survivors. They will have better weapons and take the racially balanced good group and hold them hostage for awhile.

Don't tell me if any of my predictions are right or wrong. I'm only on episode 2.

Oh yeah, this is all the cop's dream.

If your not handling the violence good now, ummmm, well, they get a bigger budget after season one......don't eat while watching, lol!

I read numerous posts stating that the heat was what really helped, mostly I just mix, shake, and line them up in order on a closet shelf. If I want a quick shake and vape, I will put them in a plastic bottle with enough air left lo keep it floating, and put it into a 1 liter theromos for 3-4 hours at 150 degrees. The water at the end will typically still be at 130ish degrees. Small test batches( 5-10ml) will be mixed up 6-10 samples at a time, put in a box and let them sit for a week or three.

I can be a pain to watch TV with.

Why would a guy in a tent, out all alone, who blew his brains out so he wouldn't become a Zombie, be wearing a button that reads: No excuse for domestic violence? :blink:

The heat does seem to do something, there is a change of color, I just see no need to go buy a mini crock pot, or UC cleaner just for steeping, if I can just use my coffee maker. I still let them sit for a while afterward.

I figured as much. People aren't watching the show for its riveting story lines. And they got rid of all non-stereotypical cast in the first season, so they could spend more money on special effects. The foley budget must be huge.

Note: When in danger follow the women with prominent clavicles. They will live.

There should be a Coming of Age Moment soon, the kid is in way too many shots.

Blatant juxtaposition: the Christ on the cross looked just like a zombie.

that kid bugs the crap outta me, even now!!!

ETA.....so much that I don't even remember his characters name, lol!!

I was wrong about the Coming of Age Moment, but I was right about too much focus on the kid. He got shot. Almost magically a house appeared with a doctor in it. He is an old country doctor and will likely perform surgery on the kitchen table. I get a point for the surgery. A new fat guy was added. (Taped paused)

The doctor is about the same as the Wise Older Guy. We can't have two, so one has to die or will decide no to go with the others. There will more stereotypes to add.

I've been looking for one of those coffee cup warmers, heard they work pretty good too.

Good evening!

:) for some reason I've never known exactly which country/where you are. Evening?

Been a wreck these few days; really struggling with coming to terms with the separation. Finally gave in and made arrangements for counseling TMR noon, so hopefully it gets better soon.
