Oh cool :Tup2: I don't have one (printer that is...or a mac actually grint) but my brother has a few, both bought and made. The first thing he did when he got one was print components for another printer lol. It's fascinating stuff, he printed up bits and pieces for the inside of my mum's car (knobs and stuff) which I thought was great. I can't wait to see where the technology goes :dance:LOL, my boy immediately used the filament that came with the 3D printer to print upgrades for the printer. He's also printed an air conditioning knob for his friend; clips to join my magic trapped to my magic keyboard; a small form factor computer case and accoutrements; a replacement grip for my Browning 1911; several figurines; a craft box (for separating screws), and, well, anything that strikes his fancy.

There's a digital knitting machine being released later this year or next. I don't remember. But you design sweaters, slippers, whatever on the computer and the machine will knit them for you, with whatever designs or patterns you come up with.

Though EVOO is better than veggie oil in mayo.Yeah, Extra Virgin Olive Oil is way better than vegetable oil, but it's so much more expensive. I've also found that hand-whisking VO over EVOO results in a faster blend of the ingredients at room temperature. I think it has something to do with an extra or fewer polypeptide chain or something.

Do you dip your egg in boiling water for 20seconds to avoid salmonella?
Have you tried adding just a pinch of mustard powder? My aunt does that and I have to say it add just a little something without saying is there mustard in this.

Show off! I think my arm would fall off about 1 minute into whisking.
That's why we have guys around to carry heavy things and whisk things when the blender breaks.

Hollandaise sauce?
Hollandaise uses butter instead of oil. If your going for something lovely like that don't skimp on the flavor.

Do you dip your egg in boiling water for 20seconds to avoid salmonella?I don't dip the egg. I'm not too concerned with salmonella since the mayo gets used within a week. Sometimes I'll add a dab of spicy mustard, sometimes I'll grind up mustard seeds with a pestle and mortar. I'm usually making mustard anyway.

I had to go with Hollandaise. The butter could have been behind the vinegar and oil. ;)
I figured mayo was too pedestrian an answer and the sauce I wanted to name I couldn't remember. As I recall, it's made with the same ingredients as mayo but there's something's different about it that makes it a sauce rather than a spread.

I can't make out the brand. I almost had a top-notch audio mixer or processor years ago. It was on eBay. Towards the end of the auction, I feared I had bid too high and hoped and hoped for a sniper. Got down to the wire but someone finally outbid me. It had a neat history too. It had been used by some big name company. I want to say Disney but I don't remember with certainty.

This is an extremely cool thread, and I love the idea of random photos. I, on the other hand, couldn't do it. I would come out mostly with my dog if I truly left it random. I take a lot of pictures of my dog. And food. And weird things in the yard, many gross and weird things in the yard. (Great horned owl leaves pellets and the bald eagle drops partially eaten fish).
It would be worse if I did it.
Here are some examples:

Okay, true story time: Back in the olden days, by which I mean way back in the early 1990's, I had to type school papers on a typewriter. Once, I was getting set to get started, and I thought I had everything ready. Paper, notes, comfy chair, etc. I even had a nice tall glass of orange juice with me so I could sip while I worked and keep my energy up.
Unfortunately, I forgot about that whole "carriage return" thing. As soon as I got to the end of the first line, the carriage shot off to one side and smacked my orange juice like Babe Ruth on a hanging slider. Juice went everywhere. My work was, alas, delayed. :cry:

We were figuring out the cost to make and ship a limited number, and we determined that $50 for a half dozen was the right price point with a decent ROI. We tried it one year, and doc out within a few hours. It was a lot of work, so we haven't repeated it, although we get ensues asking to be the first to be notified if we do it again.

When I switched to a credit union, they apparently are better than a bank, except that they have banker's hours, can't get me 2-dollar notes, can't finance a car when I have mid-700 credit rating plus a $3000 down payment, have sh*ttier interest rates, and fewer teller windows.

oh yeah, they printed a run in 2006, then again in 2012. If you’re financial institution is a member of the FDIC, then they can buy 2-dollar notes from the treasury. They may try to tell you that you have to buy the stack, but stick to your guns and get what you need.Money, money, money. Why do we have no money emoji?

try walking into your institution and asking for some 2-dollar notes. They may have them on hand, or they’ll have to order them. Or are you saying that don’t have a brick and mortar branch?oh yeah, they printed a run in 2006, then again in 2012. If you’re financial institution is a member of the FDIC, then they can buy 2-dollar notes from the treasury. They may try to tell you that you have to buy the stack, but stick to your guns and get what you need.
Alas, my bank doesn't have any local outlets, but I shall live in hope of getting one the natural way. I always liked $2 bills. :)

Ooops, didn't see this! Right, no branches. We use USAA (for military families), so everything is at a distance.
Funny, the $2 bills in your picture look so retro! I've gotten used to the redesigned currency.

gotcha. I have a navy federal account out there somewhere. You could also just walk into a bank and ask to purchase 2-dollar notes. If you have a friend that has an account at a bank, they can purchase them on your behalf. The ban orders the notes, and then disburse them, so you don't have to saddle your friend with holding your money.try walking into your institution and asking for some 2-dollar notes.

I just might do that. I have to admit, the whimsy of waiting for one to come my way is appealing, but it doesn't actually seem to be working ...
