Is the plane a house, or is the house a plane? And if you need a building to store a planehouse in, is that a planehousehouse?
Title text: The <x> that is held by <y> is also a <y><x>, so if you go to a food truck, the stuff you buy is truck food. A phone that's in your car is a carphone, and a car equipped with a phone is a phonecar. When you play a mobile racing game, you're in your phonecar using your carphone to drive a different phonecar. I'm still not sure about bananaphones.
Which should I purchase? 1 for $2.49, or 2 for $9.29? I think I'll try (2) at $2.49 each. Yes, that's the way.
Side note: These are kind of handy, but break at the "vertex". Dremmel out the gusset and then they don't break. Sometimes "weaker" is stronger. Be flexible.
Does that do what I think it does? I don't think I've ever been frustrated enough with a filter stack to warrant a special tool.
Unrelated 1000lbs of gear we nearly dropped 25' to the floor.
I assume that, had the gantry been in a different position at the time, 1000 lbs of gear would have instead crashed into a tank fully of unspeakably horrible, caustic ****.

It is. 10cup filters from Bunn, in particular, tend to stick together with some vigor. Throw the “tool”’on the top of the stack and it takes up zero drawer space.
But the real point of the image is that the price for 2 is nearly 4X the price for one.
Yup, that's Sinclair Broadcast Group for you. They force-feed content to the newsrooms of each and every one of their owned stations.
Two and a half years ago, WGN (as well as the rest of Tribune Media group) was in the process of being purchased by Sinclair. And that's exactly the sort of horror-story stuff that we were afraid of.
Fortunately, Sinclair's lawyers did some... unwise things during the process. Such as stating publicly that the Chairman of the FCC "doesn't know a lot about television," and perhaps even better, sending an email to the Deputy Director of the Department of Justice, in response to a lengthy (and very reasonable) request for information, which said, and I swear that I am not making this up: "So sue me."
It turns out that when you tell the head of the largest law enforcement agency in the country to sue you, they will.
Massively.
Needless to say, that merger didn't happen. We're all a lot better off as a result.
But, yeah. Sinclair stations' news departments do have a rough life. I wouldn't want to be at one of them.

Acidic. Specifically nitric and tetraacetic acid. At 170f.
Thankfully that didn't happen because said tank isn't very nice to mild steel.
Picture. The coupling used is unique. The two halves coupled with two wavy spring things.

I am amused by the fact that a pair of clips, which resemble the things that girls used to prop their hair up in the late 80s / early 90s, is what stands between you and a closed-casket funeral, and / or turning into a supervillain obsessed with killing the Batman.
