Brass Pipes: Advantages and Disadvantages
Tumblr media
5 Advantages of Brass Pipes
Brass Pipes Durability:
Brass pipes offer an unparalleled advantage in terms of durability. Composed of an exceptionally strong metal, brass can withstand the ravages of corrosion, rust, and various environmental factors for extended periods without necessitating replacement or repair. Remarkably, it demands no specialized maintenance or care to retain its optimal condition. This characteristic renders it an exceptional choice for plumbing endeavors requiring longevity without the need for recurrent maintenance or repairs.
Brass Pipes Are Easy to Install:
Brass presents a visually pleasing aesthetic compared to alternative metals such as copper or steel. Its golden hue adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space or structure employing brass piping applications. Consequently, it emerges as the ideal selection for diverse settings, including residential homes, commercial edifices, and projects where aesthetics play a pivotal role.
Brass Pipes Easy to Customize:
Brass pipes are relatively easy to work with compared to other metals such as copper or steel. Their malleability allows for straightforward bending and shaping, making them ideal for customized piping applications that require specific forms and configurations.
Brass Pipes Are Fire Resistance:
Another noteworthy advantage of brass pipes is their resistance to fire. They exhibit slower ignition properties compared to alternative materials, providing an added safety feature. Furthermore, in the event of a fire, brass pipes do not contribute to the rapid spread of flames.
Brass Pipes Are Cost Effective:
Brass pipes provide a cost-effective solution in the long run. While they may come with a higher initial price tag due to their durability and visual appeal, their longevity and minimal maintenance requirements translate into cost savings over time.
5 Disadvantages of Brass Pipes
Brass Pipes Higher Initial Cost:
One notable disadvantage of brass pipes is their initial cost, which tends to be higher compared to materials like copper or steel. This price premium is attributed to the material’s durability and aesthetic appeal.
Brass Pipes Potential Lead Content:
Another concern with brass pipes is the potential presence of lead. Although the levels of lead in brass pipes are typically low, there is a risk of lead leaching into the water flowing through them, which can be harmful, especially to pregnant women and young children.
Brass Pipes Susceptibility to Corrosion:
Over time, brass pipes may corrode, leading to water contamination and leaks. Corrosion can result in water quality issues and potential damage to your property.
Brass Pipes May Be Noisy:
Brass pipes can generate noise as water flows through them, which may be disruptive and annoying. In certain situations, this noise can even disturb sleep if brass pipes are installed in a bedroom or nearby.
Brass Pipes May Require Special Maintenance:
Maintaining brass pipes may require extra effort to prevent corrosion and lead contamination. Periodic cleaning with specialized products may be necessary, and regular water testing might be recommended if brass pipes are part of your plumbing system.
In Conclusion:
In summary, brass pipes offer durability, aesthetics, and fire resistance, making them a solid choice for plumbing projects. However, their higher brass pipe price, potential lead content, susceptibility to corrosion, noise generation, and special maintenance requirements should be carefully considered. Ultimately, the decision to use brass pipes should align with your specific needs and budget, while also weighing the alternatives like copper or steel pipe systems.

Homebrew Magic Items: The Viscous Rings
Three Viscous Rings for the Oozing Kings …
Viscous, NOT vicious, although the wearer may vary. Heh. So. I love oozes? And I wanted some vaguely ooze-themed magic items. And as I was thinking about it, it evolved from a single item that likely did far too much, to a set of three linked magic items on a theme of slimy things.
RING OF GREASE
Wonderous Item, Uncommon, requires attunement
This broad, flat brass ring has a thin line of a shiny black material running around the centre of the outer circumference of the band. Although it looks like enamel or perhaps a dark stone of some kind, this band is actually an imperturbable line of magical black grease. While the wearer is attuned to the ring, they gain a +2 bonus to skill checks involving the use of thieves tools or tinkers tools, as the ring gently loosens stiff components and eases the control of moving parts. In addition, the ring has 3 charges, and regains all spent charges daily at midnight. As an action, the wearer can expend a charge to cast the grease spell from the ring, without any verbal or material components.
(Note: I was browsing tools to see what ones would reasonably be affected by a ring of WD40, going broadly with thieves and tinkers, musing about jewellers, before my sister pipes up ‘what about bard’s tools’, and it takes me a minute to get innuendo most of the time, so it took me a second to throw a dirty look her way. So, you know. Make what allowances you will).
RING OF SLIME
Wonderous Item, Rare, requires attunement
This strange ring is made from an unknown greenish metal stained deeply with a darker green verdigris, and appears to have been less cast or carved and more simply cooled straight from a molten state into a strange, drippy circle. When worn, it gradually stains the finger of the wearer a permanent green around the band. This stain can only be removed by application of a lesser restoration spell or other similar magic. The ring has 4 charges, and regains 1d4 charges daily at midnight. Once attuned to the ring of slime, the wearer can use a bonus action to expend a charge and coat themselves and their equipment in a thin, greenish sheen of slime, extending from the ring. This slime lasts for 10 minutes, and grants the following benefits:
All checks made to grapple or restrain the wearer have disadvantage, and the wearer has advantage on all checks or saves made to avoid or escape grapples or restraints.
The wearer gains a +2 bonus to AC, as attacks slide off the coating of slime.
RING OF OOZE
Wonderous Item, Rare, requires attunement
This oddly beautiful ring appears to be carved whole from a piece of slick, clear, polished crystal or glass, but in truth is carved from a piece of petrified ooze. The ring has 6 charges, and regains 1d6 spent charges every day at midnight. While attuned to the ring, the wearer can use an action to spend a number of charges to summon one of the following ooze: gelatinous cube (2 charges) or black pudding (3 charges). The summoned ooze manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within 60ft, and disappears at the end of 1 hour, or when it drops to 0 hit points. The ooze is an ally to the wearer and their companions. In combat, the ooze shares the wearer’s initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after theirs. It obeys the wearer’s verbal commands (no action required). If the wearer doesn't issue any, it will move towards and attack the closest non-allied creature it can sense.
THE VISCOUS RINGS
If a single wearer becomes attuned to all three of the Viscous Rings simultaneously, they gain the following additional benefit:
As an action, the wearer of the three Viscous Rings can cause themselves and all their equipment to enter an amorphous state. While in this state, the wearer gains blindsight to a range of 30ft, and can squeeze through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide, carrying all of their equipment with them. This state lasts for 1 minute, unless the wearer uses a bonus action to remain in the amorphous state. Once the wearer has existed in this amorphous state for 10 minutes, either continuously or in separate 1 minute increments, they cannot enter this state again until they finish a long rest.

5 Things to Look For When Purchasing an Antique Home
Many older houses are well-built, and the finishing features can be spectacular. Even if the house has been restored and looks to be in good condition, a comprehensive investigation is required to determine if there are any hidden problems. Here are a few things to think about when seeking to buy an older home.
Tumblr media
Condition of Foundation
Thick stone foundations were common in historic homes. While stone is normally quite sturdy, the mortar used to connect the stones may not be. Mortar deteriorates with time. The same issues can occur in homes with concrete block foundations. Any mildew odor in the basement should be a warning sign that water has leaked in.
Mechanical Systems
Plumbing pipes in older homes could be brass soldered with lead or galvanized steel. Your inspector can quickly identify pipe material, and you may perform a 3-second water test with lead detection strips, which are comparable to litmus paper. The heating system is simple to inspect. Check to see if the boiler is more than 20 years old. Inspect the chimney for damage or soot buildup. And they may also inspect your cove smart carbon monoxide detector.
Hazardous Materials
Houses built before the 1960s are likely to have lead paint coatings. Another element typically found in older homes is asbestos. While asbestos is an excellent fire retardant, it is exceedingly dangerous if it becomes friable or airborne. If you suspect the presence of these compounds, ask your agent to identify a hazardous materials specialist who can test for them.
Types of Framing
One of the most appealing aspects of older homes' frame is that it is made of actual wood, potentially massive timbers. Check for termite or post beetle damage with the inspection. Insects may cause havoc in the home. You'll also want to know if the house was framed with balloons. This cost-effective strategy was popular in the mid-nineteenth century. The outer walls contain a cavity that extends from the top of the foundation to the roof rafters, which is the only disadvantage.

Week ending: 10th December 1953
We still seem to be feeling Christmassy, or at least quite jolly with this next set of three, none of which are complete unknown quantities. In fact, I can predict already which one I'm going to like most, but we'll see if I'm right.
Dragnet - Ray Anthony and His Orchestra (peaked at No. 7)
Yes, it's Dragnet, again, with a version that looks to have been a lot more popular generally than Ted Heath's version from last week.
That's a shame, because I think I might like this version less? It's still a banger, with particular credit going to the opening riff, but It's less swinging until nearer the end, and I juts don't enjoy it as much? It doesn't feel like as even of a ride, thought it might have been more faithful to the original theme's vibe.
It's still solid, though. We start with the Dragnet riff, and it's somehow a lot more menacing this time, and then we get the timpani from Also Sprach Zarathustra, just to ramp up the drama. It's obnoxiously threatening.
But then we're in for 30 seconds of brass tooting before the jazzy bit comes in. It's fine, impressive even, but I just want the jazzy vibes that Ted's version had.
And then finally we get it, with drums and swung rhythms and double bass, and all is well, until shortly before the end, where we revert to the brass, and then the timpani. Almost like it's re-started. It's fine, but I like the jazzy bit best.
Let's Have a Party - Winifred Atwell (2)
Well, it's another Winifred Atwell Let's Have a _______ track, of which she seems to have made many. Like all the others, it's a medley of popular tunes, played on a deliberately janky piano.
It suffers from being much slower than some of her other offerings, which makes most sonfs worse, though it wins some points back for being in waltz time, which makes most songs better. The speed is more of an issue, though, so it's a net disadvantage for this track.
I did appreciate it starting with a version of Daisy Daisy, which is a track I actually knew. I suspect this was how the original audience felt every time they recognised a song from it, and the appeal was "what's she going to mix in next?" Truly, the mashup of it's day. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well nowadays, when all but perhaps one of the songs going into it have been forgotten.
There's also a random guitar-ish sound, which sounds like a cross between a steel guitar and perhaps a sci-fi theremin/Ray gun noise? It's bloopy, but so sporadic and lightly used that the first time round I assumed it was an issue with the recording. It's an interesting sound, but underused.
I thought near the end that we'd got a bit of "Oh what a beautiful morning!" but I don't think that's actually what the final tune is? Either way, it's a similar vibe - lots of music hall staples and/or songs from musicals. It's fine, for Winifred Atwell, but nothing to write home about.
Disappointing, as our only actually new track.
Swedish Rhapsody - Ray Martin (4)
Last time we saw this track, Mantovani was treating it with his usual slightly syrupy gusto. I quite liked it, despite myself, and was prepared to enjoy this version, too. Unfortunately, I then made the mistake of actually listening to this version.
There's not much differentiating it from Mantovani's version, in terms of interpretation. It's the same tune, in the same order, at a similar pace, with a similar mix of instruments. But... it's just worse?
For one, while it uses the same strings / pipes / accordion, it just lays them on less thickly at the start, which makes the track feel emptier. It also feels like it goes a bit slower, and leans heavier on the pipes, which weren't the main appeal of the other version. The accordion is underused, too, though it does come in halfway through, way too quiet.
I think I was misled by my version, which also credits a group called The Swingin' Marching Band. I thus expected either some swing or some marching band vibes or (with any luck) both. Instead I got neither, which was quite disappointing.
The tune is everything it was last time, but it feels more stately, less folk dancey, despite the little twiddle the pipes attempt at points. Sad.
Well, there you go. Three slightly worse versions of things we have already seen. I didn't love any of these, and I'm hard pressed to pick a favourite. None were egregious bad, but I wouldn't back them as Top 10 material. I guess they're all reasonably party-appropriate and inoffensive. Instrumental music for the back of a Christmas party with people who you'd much rather talk to than listen to music with - that's about as charitable as I can be here. One's interesting, at least, so...
Favourite of the bunch: Dragnet.

Is Weed Pipe Better Than Joint?
Joint and pipe smoking are two of the most widely used cannabis consumption techniques that have developed over time. A smoking pipe is a little apparatus used to smoke cannabis flowers, whereas a joint is a rolled-up cigarette with cannabis inside it. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages. Although they are simple to roll and share, joints may be painful to the throat and burn rapidly.While pipes give smoother hits and more control over how much cannabis is ingested, they must be cleaned after each usage.Due to the burning of the paper, joints usually have a more robust flavour than pipes, which keeps the authentic taste of the cannabis plant. Lines are more inexpensive in terms of cost-effectiveness since they let consumers save unused cannabis for later use.Ultimately, smoking habits and personal choice determine if a marijuana pipe is preferable to a joint. While some people appreciate the ease of joints, others choose the smoother impacts of lines. When comparing marijuana pipes and joints, smoking effectiveness is an essential factor to consider. Through a pipe as opposed to a joint, THC, the euphoric ingredient in cannabis, is absorbed more effectively. Compared to joints, pipes feature a smaller chamber, allowing for more direct inhalation of smoke and less THC loss through burning. Additionally, the materials used to make pipes frequently burn more slowly than the paper used to roll joints, allowing for a higher THC yield from a given amount of marijuana.Pipes have an advantage over junctions in terms of tar uptake. Joints generate much more tar due to burning the rolling material for paper. After usage, pipes may be quickly cleaned, which prevents the buildup of tar and other undesirable materials. Compared to smoking from a joint, smoking from a pipe may offer a superior smoking experience in terms of THC absorption and tar ingestion. There are two main ways to smoke marijuana: in a joint or a pipe. The filter is a vital consideration, even though each has benefits and drawbacks. To make the smoke smoother and less damaging to the lungs, a filter helps remove contaminants.You may make filters out of cardboard or rolling paper while rolling joints. Rolling papers do not filter out as many contaminants despite being thinner and burning more slowly than cardboard. However, cardboard filters may alter the flavour of the smoke and may need to be more efficient at removing pollutants.A screen is frequently used as a filter for pipes to stop particles from being ingested. Stainless steel or brass mesh is only a couple of the materials used to make pipe screens. They are reusable and simple to clean; however, after prolonged usage, they might need to be replaced.Ultimately, smoking habits and personal choice determine whether rolling paper or pipe screens are superior at filtering cannabis smoke. Personal preference is a significant factor when deciding whether to use a joint or a pipe while smoking cannabis. While some individuals like the ease of a pipe, others prefer the traditional way of rolling a joint. Since they may be readily passed about and shared among friends, joints are typically seen as more friendly and communal. Contrarily, pipes allow for more dose control and may be utilized for solo or small group sessions.The length of the smoking session may also affect the decision between a joint and a pipe. Since joints often burn more quickly than pipes, they are better suited for fewer smoking sessions. A pipe could be a better choice if you want to consume cannabis over an extended period since it allows you to take your time and savour each dose.It ultimately boils down to personal taste and the kind of smoking experience you seek, whether you select a joint or a pipe.

Joint and pipe smoking are two of the most widely used cannabis consumption techniques that have developed over time. A smoking pipe is a little apparatus used to smoke cannabis flowers, whereas a joint is a rolled-up cigarette with cannabis inside it. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages. Although they are simple to roll and share, joints may be painful to the throat and burn rapidly.While pipes give smoother hits and more control over how much cannabis is ingested, they must be cleaned after each usage.Due to the burning of the paper, joints usually have a more robust flavour than pipes, which keeps the authentic taste of the cannabis plant. Lines are more inexpensive in terms of cost-effectiveness since they let consumers save unused cannabis for later use.Ultimately, smoking habits and personal choice determine if a marijuana pipe is preferable to a joint. While some people appreciate the ease of joints, others choose the smoother impacts of lines. When comparing marijuana pipes and joints, smoking effectiveness is an essential factor to consider. Through a pipe as opposed to a joint, THC, the euphoric ingredient in cannabis, is absorbed more effectively. Compared to joints, pipes feature a smaller chamber, allowing for more direct inhalation of smoke and less THC loss through burning. Additionally, the materials used to make pipes frequently burn more slowly than the paper used to roll joints, allowing for a higher THC yield from a given amount of marijuana.Pipes have an advantage over junctions in terms of tar uptake. Joints generate much more tar due to burning the rolling material for paper. After usage, pipes may be quickly cleaned, which prevents the buildup of tar and other undesirable materials. Compared to smoking from a joint, smoking from a pipe may offer a superior smoking experience in terms of THC absorption and tar ingestion. There are two main ways to smoke marijuana: in a joint or a pipe. The filter is a vital consideration, even though each has benefits and drawbacks. To make the smoke smoother and less damaging to the lungs, a filter helps remove contaminants.You may make filters out of cardboard or rolling paper while rolling joints. Rolling papers do not filter out as many contaminants despite being thinner and burning more slowly than cardboard. However, cardboard filters may alter the flavour of the smoke and may need to be more efficient at removing pollutants.A screen is frequently used as a filter for pipes to stop particles from being ingested. Stainless steel or brass mesh is only a couple of the materials used to make pipe screens.

Personal preference is a significant factor when deciding whether to use a joint or a pipe while smoking cannabis. While some individuals like the ease of a pipe, others prefer the traditional way of rolling a joint.
