Currently printing a “bane-style” filter mask:

Thanks, will see if I can do that. I'm using dry shop-vac filter paper currently. I also saw the earlier post where someone tested 2 layers of "blue shop paper towels" and said there were nearly as effective as N95 filter element. Issue with using some types of paper is that if you wear the mask for a couple of hours the moisture in your breath will saturate the paper and it then restricts airflow to the point where it's too difficult to breath.

Starting to encroach on my social circle as well. GF’s friend’s elderly father died of it (not “with it”), and one of her good friends who lives in upstate New York near New Rochelle came down with symptoms yesterday that are consistent with it. Sister of a guy I work with is under quarantine because she had contact with a person confirmed infected.

Creality Ender 3 with some upgrades and a connected raspberry pi running octopi. I got it as a cheap entry point to play around with 3D printing. Assembly, upgrade parts and tuning/tweaking were required to get it to the point where I can press “print” and come back to a completed print without issues. There are more “out of the box” print ready printers available at higher price points.

Finding a psychologist to issue an "ok to possess firearms" letter can be challenging. A lot of them don't want to take on the perceived liability and/or are anti-gun.

I’ve been 3D printing Montana mask “shells” that have an ~2 square inch filter port - cutting the filter section out of worn n95 masks: https://www.makethemasks.com/ I’m able to make 3-4 Montana masks out of the material from one N95.

Me too. Had a COBOL course in college, enjoyed it. I’d brush up on it again if they were paying...or if I could earn a credit against my property taxes!

Welcome to the forum!

You have 30 days to appeal the denial in writing. I urge you to do so. I believe court sessions will resume when the pandemic subsides, or a method of remote/social distanced court sessions will be developed. Per Evan Nappen: "...When denied a license, a person must realize that this becomes a record that will affect one's reputation. Any denial will have to be reported on future applications for licenses; furthermore, background checks by various employers and for high security jobs will turn up these denials. Because of the significance of a denial on one's record, it is important to fight any denial. ..."

Is there still a NJGF member here who makes custom vinyl decals? If so please get in touch, Im interested in having some made.

I think it is a quarter turn (the outside valve handle only turns a short distance.) So I should just go for a new one? Thanks for the offer of help, if I really get jammed up I’ll reach out.

Or by someone just learning how to solder copper pipes to fix a break caused by a freeze in the middle of a historic cold snap?:

Your diagram helped though - if the stem washer on the faucet was sealing properly then it shouldn't leak at all, either out of the cap or the spout, when the faucet valve is turned off. So now to dig into whether that washer is serviceable/replaceable.

Maybe. I can't swear that there is no leaking from the spout *IN ADDITION* to a big leak from the vent cap.

Probably poor phrasing on my part. There is a shut-off ball/lever valve inside the house. If I shut *that* off, the outside faucet does not leak, because its water supply is shut off. If I turn on the ball/lever valve inside the house so the outside faucet has water supply, then it will leak from the vent cap, regardless if the *outside* faucet is turned on or off, hose attached or not.

Got an outdoor faucet with an inside shut-off ball valve. The outdoor faucet has leaked since I got the house, but I always had more pressing issues. Took a closer look at it tonight - it leaks from the screw-on cap at the top as soon as I turn on the shut-off valve inside, regardless if the outside faucet valve is open or closed. 2 questions: - what is the top screw-on cap for? - Do I just need to replace a gasket or similar on the bottom of the cap to stop the leak?

NJ NICS home page still showing that they’re not accepting new requests: https://www.njportal.com/NJSP/NicsVerification

Legally purchasing a firearm in NJ is currently impossible. The NJ state police are not allowing any new NJ NICS requests to be submitted. Assuming your NJ FID card is actually processed and given to you in a reasonable amount of time, you can buy your long guns in any other state from a FFL. In fact, you’ll *have to* purchase in another state until NJ NICS reopens. Not every non-NJ FFL may be willing to do a transfer to a NJ resident. You should call FFL’s in advance to check.

I’ve got RIO 12ga 00 buckshot I can spare. I’m near Asbury Park.

Working lots of hours outdoors at job sites all over NJ. Somehow we got classified as essential. Got an “authorized to ignore the curfew” letter signed by the CEO yesterday.

There’s no NJ law outlawing ordering ammo online currently.
