The pressure increases (and temperature increases) at the narrow points in a Venturi-Bernouli flow, then decreases again at the widening. And you are right, they don't inherently produce turbulence - the way the flow is set up in the VHW it does not. But the way they are used in the bamboo of...

And remember, the venturi effect increases the air temp (pressure) without effecting the measureable heat of the unit. Only kicks in when air or fluid moves through the chambers. The same physics (the resultant turbulence) stirs the elb contents. I love fluid dynamics.

Fuck, ain't even thought about Nick Cave in years. Kinda surprised the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork knows of him.

...or your old Cloud+ is running hot. Turned out my OG ticker always has been - over 600F at full.

My EVO is heading back in for bamboo repair. Broke the OG ticker back out after not using it for over a week. And man, the EVO is even more of an improvement than I'd thought. Got used to not having to stir my ELBs to get even, toasty ABV. In the OG, if I don't stir, some is black and some...

I totally agree on the Zeppelin. And I am pissed at Jimi Page. He bought Aleister Crowley's house near Loch Ness and, despite promises otherwise to the occult community, never opened the library for research. Interfered with some of my own work on good ol' Uncle Al.

I don't consider it a shame in a case like this, cuz a) Rick Wright was always extremely open about it, cited Miles, Bill Evans and Winton Kelly all the time; b) more than the others in Floyd, Rick was a jazz musician - according to him, that was all he was, and all jazz is based on borrowing...

If you're a Floyd fan and you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to see the episode of Classic Albums on Dark Side of the Moon. Interesting note, they only mention one of the instances in this documentary, but I know from other interviews with Rick Wright, at least 3 of the most famous...

I said it on the pets thread, and I'll say it again here - this is an incredibly supportive community. I've had more outreach from FCers since my dog got sick than from my coworkers. I love you folks. And more understanding, as many of us here are like me - live alone, have major health...

Some days life seems to be a cruel joke. While taking my dying dog to the vet to be put to sleep, he knocked over my EVO. When I got back, obviously an emotional wreck, and went to medicate, the EVO rattled, and I can see what appears to be a crack in the bamboo. But it also seems to be...

Mac is now gone. Thank all of you for the support. It has made all of this easier to handle. Now I'm an lonely pain-wracked cripple again, but that's obviously who I am. Sabbe pe dukkham.

I wanted to thank everyone in this thread for their thoughts and support. It helps to be reminded other people, some as handicapped as I am, have been through this. There were some wonderful ideas too - I am getting myself on the DC Service Dog waiting list. It looks like today is the day. Mac...

Jon Stewart (among others) have commented on this. And the state it is in, NJ, is has medical. Best I heard yet is 'The Pot Bowl'.

It's funny, but until I moved from NY, I never met anybody who thought it was odd. Those '70s NYC alley cats were bad-ass and big. My doberman-killer, a ginger tom named Jimmy, was huge. Like nearly ocelot-sized. And to give him his due, the feral doberman had threatened me and my sister a...

Don't know if the new Vapexhale EVO is shipping to the EU yet, prolly why it hash;t been mentioned. It kicks ass though. Same for the Herbalizer - very new and American, but worth checking. I think the VHW can go to Europe, and its awesome , but its almost all glass and breaks VERY easily.

I likes me some Muddy. But if we're going older, than how about Kind of Blue. One of the best lineups ever. Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers. And a bit less famous (Kind of Blue being the semi-official Most Famous Jazz Album Ever), another Miles...

Some truly geeky Orbital (in a good way).

I must counter with a hearty ALL HAIL SATAN

I own 'em both, and the Pax is not even in the same league as the PnP, IMHO. The PnP is much better with a water tool. But keep in mind how damn tiny the PnP water tools are- I have one that is no taller than the PnP itself, and is so well made I doubt I CAN break it just in my pocket (unless...

Somehow forgot the famous chefs and academics I've known and worked with. Known Duff aka Ace of Cakes for eons- knew him before he was a chef. Then I trained and worked with some famous ones- Ben Barker [prick], Jim Perolli [nice dude], Sean Macduff [raging NY-Paris queen], Nik Kosmokos...
