And here I thought a $10k quote for 180 feet of fence was robbery.

I'm doing this math constantly. Painting, trim work, cabling, basic 120v wiring, irrigation systems, cabinetry, etc, aren't worth calling anyone for any more. I started with some tools for my furniture making hobby and am basically backing into general contracting as time goes by. I'm a little...

I bought a house last year and have been doing some repairs/upgrades. I've had to resign myself to have anything to do with trades costing 50-100% more than I expect. I just got a quote for $11k to replace my main electrical panel and another $5k run a sub-panel to my garage and put in some...

Yes. I did a small outside taper on a stand and bench I made for my kids' keyboard. I don't think it looks terrible, but it did narrow the base slightly and make them more tippy than they needed to be. I'd do it the other way if making them again.

That's great to hear. My dad caved in on himself for years after my mom died, and it was really sad to watch. His life is immeasurably better now that he met someone, and I'm sure yours will be too over time.

Any of the classic trades, really. Plumbers and electricians can basically name their price these days.

Lose some weight and work out more. I used to run ~140/95. Lost 10 lbs and started doing pretty serious cardio 3-5x a week and and now after a couple years I'm 120/70 with a resting heart rate +/- 50. As others have said, also look to make some diet changes towards higher fiber and unsaturated...

Just got this email from my son's middle school. There is no Testing Tip.png. This is the second such attempt to distribute tips this weekend. What a pack of fuckwits.

For $1000/mo on a 15 year fixed you're talking about a $120k loan tops at current interest rates. You can't even buy an old trailer home for that price in a lot of places, never mind something with good bones and renovation budget included.

FTFY. I think. I mean, you do you.

That guy bought his tapering jig. You want to reproduce the function of the metal jig up against his fence. Something like this: If you really want you can go a bit more bare-bones and simply put down a backstop and toggle clamps (spaced high enough to clamp down on your leg, obviously) and...

A classic double inside taper on the legs will make them look a lot more refined. It's cake on the table saw with a simple jig.

Unless you have burning from the bit, no, not really necessary unless you're trying to make museum-quality heirloom pieces, and even then it's debatable. I'm more on the hand tool end of things (though not completely) and I almost never sand and just apply finish off the surface left by the...

Generally you use a plane or router and don't sand them. If you have a sander with a table you could use that at a fixed angle. Or just be really careful with a sanding block. Or just live with the "artisanal" look and accept the rounding.

Totally agree.

That's not realistic, though. You want fighters to be in peak condition for the fights. There really is a combination of training that optimizes performance but that's not maintainable indefinitely. The issue is short term dehydration. ONE got closest with their hydration monitoring, but as it...

If it's only a couple years old the rust is probably superficial. I'd clean it up with a wire brush or sandpaper and paint it.

Weight cutting is stupid, dangerous, and makes fights worse for the fighters and the fans. I wish there were a good technical way to ban it.

Including withholding? That is odd. I'd deposit the money but keep it protected and liquid for quite a while. The onus is on them to correct mistakes. Worst case you return it.

Dunno. Good friend of mine ran a demolition company for about 20 years and saw lots of his competitors get into problems over safety. Religiously following OSHA starts to look pretty good after your second or third major injury lawsuit.

Is that a new board speedrun record? Character arc completed in 3 posts over 40 minutes.

You aren't understanding what's happening here.

A response like this is going to provide an excellent object lesson in how to properly manage your expectations on this board.

Nope, you can order basically any test you want for yourself.

Because it's not (wrong tattoos) and this is just someone trying to get attention on instagram.

Yes, though aviation autopilot isn't as auto as you'd think. Basically the human pilots fly by giving instructions to the computer controlling the plane rather than controlling the plane by hand. The reason Tesla tries to bill their current driver assist tech as "Autopilot" is because they hide...

You can just go to Quest Diagnostics (or wherever) and get whatever test you want done a la carte for far less money than that. No point in going through your PCP because your insurance won't pay for this because it's almost certainly snake oil as a functional product, even if there's some truth...

I used an electric mower when I lived in Atlanta (plug-in, though, not battery). It was slightly less powerful than the gas but generally fine on thick grass. Managing the cord isn't really much of a hassle once you get used to mowing in a non-overlapping pattern. Plus you can buy three or four...

That honestly doesn't sound like it could be the fault of your sled; it's got to be the saw itself. Did you somehow manage to jar your saw table so that your miter slots aren't parallel to the blade any more? Check thoroughly against the front and back of the blade with a dial indicator or at...

If it's 3 kW and not 3kWh that sure sounds like an EV.

Can you have someone else shop for you with strict instructions to only buy healthy foods? Snacking stops feeling so good when you've eaten your 15th apple of the day and the next-tastiest thing is in the house is broccoli. Something else that helps is to drink a glass of water every time you...

At some point, and maybe only for certain peoiple, the suck factors can become addicting. I'm not a morning person and I absolutely hate it, but my days are better and my sleep is better if I force myself to get up at 6 and work out. It's incredibly easy to fall off the wagon, though.

It makes sense for vertical miters and cross cuts. The angled miters and rip cuts really don't.

This looks like an amazing way to lose focus and kill yourself. About halfway through he realizes that on a vertical (edit: angled) miter the blade could hit the tool post, never mind that the blade takes three fucking minutes to spin down. 😨
