    How might I best put this? Doctors, Nurses, phD's describe the auto-suffocating cough.

    As 1 symptom of covid, I experiencd a particularially unforgiving form of cough... We normally have a small degree of controll over our coughs. But in the coughing I just went through, I was repeatedly concerned if I would ever breath again. Imagine Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf" opening...

    Homemade Bread Thread

    Thanks. I will take all the tips I can get! Baking infrequently makes this sort of skill elusive to master I think.

    Homemade Bread Thread

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this question but I am looking for an answer to a uh, MATH (?) problem. Sometimes I want to (or have to) bake different size things I usually bake in other sizes... is there a formula to estimate a new baking time based on same shape but different...

    i can't seem to find the joke thread... can someone guide me to it or perhaps say something that will make me laugh?

    WTF is this for?

    Yes. Thanks for the idea about feeling and hearing the flow. I may try that sometime. But the main thing for me when attaching the CO2 for example, is just to know when it is closed (set to zero)(which seems to be an anti-intuitive "all the way up") Its reassuring to get visual confirmation.

    WTF is this for?

    0k... So I don't have to fret over the open hole in the back (Maybe I can find a cover for it somewhere to keep out the dust?) LETs move on to another issue: The dial setting cannot be read properly from the triangle shaped pointer and there are no alternative pointers. What would you do? What...

    WTF is this for?

     Is the thing on the back of your two reulators the same thing? I ask because the1.8k one has a cover on it that reads 1.8k but the other one is just an uncovered hole... (see the pix of mine) Just to be sure, an uncovered hole is normal and/or acceptable on these regulators?

    Not sure this helps any now but here are a few shots.

    humm, I should fess up that the allen theory is based on pictures and info on other similar products and not on original knowledge. It is entirely possible I have joined a wacky false relegion 💥

    How is it I don't know this stuff?Swivel nut Setting and Adjustment on Regulator.

    "It's not meant to swivel when it's tightened." If you are correct, then I guess that means it is working properly NOW, and I was using it incorrectly for the past oh, seven years?

    Are you sure about that? I thought the swivel was to allow different usage orientations once it was set up.... BTW when thinking about what pictures to take, I observed the following: There is no Swivel when the middle Knurled Brass is well tightened to the gray post: everything is locked down...

    How is it I don't know this stuff?Swivel nut Setting and Adjustment on Regulator.

    Ha ha... could be but I hope not. I haven't been able to attach it again WITH tape attached so not sure whats what. Are you using one like this? The brass thing on the right requires a hex key (forgot the real name) to un-screw. BTW... Which nut (?) is supposed to be the swivel-er? the knurled...

    Yes, pictures are possible but it will have to later.

    It had teflon tape on it when I got it...I was always unsure about if it was supposed to... today I was going to replace it, but noticed difficulty and new behaviour. Hard to pinpoint, but increased freedom of movement plus a tendency to loosen sooner than before. Anyway, no teflon now.

    How is it I don't know this stuff?Swivel nut Setting and Adjustment on Regulator.

    I understand it to be a swivel thingy that as you said, lets me rotate things so they can be lined up as wished. When everything is tightened, nothing freely rotates.Of course, if I unscrew something then yes, something moves, but not in the sense of a swivel, more in the sense of simply loose...

    How is it I don't know this stuff?Swivel nut Setting and Adjustment on Regulator.

    I think I need an introductory lesson. It is not behaving as I expect it to. I removed the white tape... Bad idea?It doesn't 'swivel' so much as 'undo' . How are these things supposed to operate?

    Stressing over replacement mini keg regulator (for 74g CO2 bulbs)

    "soda stream is 60 liters of co2 and much cheaper then the 74 gram bulbs." Sorry, I know 16g and 74g but not their gas vols. 60L = ?g ?L = 74g ok think i found it... 60l is 410g so.... 1g = 0.14634146341 L 16g ... 2.341 L 74g ... 10.829 L 410g ... 60 L Making Sodastream 5.54x as large as...
