Looks like he managed to get it to work. I didn't watch closely enough to see what his budget was.

I suspect you're over-thinking the stability concerns. I've seen gyms with box jump boxes made with pocket holes, and dadoes/rabbets are stronger than that. For a countertop application just about anything will be fine. It's not like this is a chair where you have bodyweight forces and several...

Snobbery aside, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with pocket holes so long as you know their limitations. Cabinets are one place where they're generally acceptable, especially if you also glue. As an added bonus they serve as built-in clamps, which you may or may not have in the right...

I don't know what else would work beyond fiber HDMI and a long-distance powered USB repeater. The latter can be a couple hundred bucks or more if you want USB 3.0 over >25 ft. There's cheaper stuff, but it tends not to work reliably. I have a server closet, but it just houses my networking gear...

Steel posts. Fuck wood for fences. If I have to repair anything I'm making it permanent and maintenance-free within my lifetime. I say this as someone who has a wood shop and makes furniture for fun.

Anyone have suggestions for a patio-friendly natural gas burner for wok or skillet cooking? I've got gas piped to my patio but I'm having a hell of a time finding a burner solution. I'm looking for something like this without the five-month delivery lead time...

Compatibility problems with TVs? Other consoles have figured that out so maybe they're just cutting corners.

Ok, that's bad.

Artistic styles aren't copyrightable anyway. Producing something that looks like someone else's work is legal imitation as long as you aren't reproducing a specific piece. People forget that information is not inherently owned and copyright is just supposed to be a temporary grant from the...

Something is wonky with that story. The real estate tax in FL is 0.74% for primary residences. $4.4M * 0.74% is ~$32k. A $90k+ bill would be 2%+ of the property value. FL property taxes are ~20% of municipal/county revenues and up to 60% of school funding. If they want to cut that source...

My lab/pit mix had a big mast cell tumor when she was 7. Surgery was ~$1100 and they gave her 2 years life expectancy. That was six years ago and she's doing fine.

And almost no host other than speed tests will even serve you data at that rate. Maybe if you're running a 20+ big torrents in parallel or backing up some kind of massive uncompressed media files. Netflix 4k streams are only ~25 Mbps. Practically speaking you're going to saturate the processing...

I get 985 Mbps up and down off my gigabit fiber (Frontier). Pretty damn close. From brief research it looks like your router's WAN port caps out at 1 Gbps. Hardly any consumer or even pro-sumer grade hardware offers more than that. I wouldn't pay for the extra.

The only two coaches I would be less interested in hearing speak would be both Diaz brothers. They're incoherent and Jones is insufferable.

I've had one for a while. Made a few bits and bobs. I'm hundreds of dollars in the hole compared to buying import industrial injection moulded parts. It's fun, though, and having the tools around enticed my then-10 year old son to learn CAD on his own. Totally worth it.

It's an explicit strategy... ...for this reason. As has come up here before, Nintendo's operating profits are on the order of the combined total of both the Playstation and XBox divisions. Clearly their market is not evaluating the product in the same way you are.

Finally getting around to Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Holy shit this game is GORGEOUS in HDR.

Anyone have pool nets they really like? I bought a cheapie from Walmart and it lasted one season before the net was full of holes. I'd be open to getting two - one coarse for leaves and larger debris and a fine mesh for crumbly organics that my trees like to dump in.

The only thing I wouldn't hate is a 2D-HD glam-up that keeps the original pixel aesthetics, and maybe some very minor QOL. No 3d, and for the love of god don't fuck with the music.

Follow-up on this post from last year. It took me an embarrassingly long time to get around to modifying my plane to accommodate this grip (it requires drilling a single stopped hole). Having done so now, it works brilliantly. It's miles more comfortable than trying to grab the edge of the frame...

Not calling you out, but I was trying to parse that chart and it didn't help me arrive at the highlighted conclusion at all. Turns out the axis labels are off by a factor of 1000. (What's three orders of magnitude between friends? Demerits for sloppy presentation.) For the curious here's the...

Endurance exercise can raise this significantly. Colonoscopies suck but let me tell you they're better than cancer. My mom died at 53 and that is not an experience I am going to allow myself or anyone around me to go through on my account.

You could always make your wife the executor. It doesn't have to be a neutral third party. My wife and I have an A-B trust set up where we are each other's executors.

I have a Tesla. They give me free trials of FSD for several months a year and I still don't use it because it doesn't work well enough. I'm not saying it won't ever work; the tech is obviously possible and inevitable on a medium timeline, but it's not there now. I'd LOVE a Robotaxi that really...

15% FSD purchase rate at $8k / $99/mo seems... optimistic.

They learned that modders will fix it so they can sell copies without putting in the effort.

IMO the relative isolation is more immersive. I couldn't possibly give a shit about the 10,000 other players lagging me with MTX armor while we all ignore each other doing the same NPC interactions in parallel.

Controller feels great.

It's great for highway cruising. I had it drive 200 miles through traffic ranging from speed limit to stop and go, clear to heavy rain. It feels really janky for anything more exotic, though. Changes lanes aggressively and unnecessarily, and on surface streets I feel like I need to intervene...

With no will you'll have to go to probate, which is a PITA. The medical creditors will certainly come to collect.

Based on my experience with "FSD" trials in my own Tesla and having been in a Waymo, I'd put my money on Waymo. Tesla's tech is just not a good experience outside of single-lane highway usage.

Thanks. Guess I should pay more attention.

They need to provide alternatives for the quests that give passive points and idol slots, then. Or did I miss that? I agree. I think it's our fault as gamers because we complain that there isn't an infinite amount of content to be consumed whenever we want it. You can't have both that and a...

My main complaint with the campaign is that I spend 3/4 of my time looking at the minimap beelining to the objective markers. I just finished the final boss at lvl ~55 and I don't think I stopped running the entire time.

Currently playing with a controller. New 1.2 targeting feels really good. Less carpal tunnel irritation for me.

Be careful with this. There are clawbacks against the recipient's estate that extend back five years before delivery of first service and can easily wipe out the value of a home, etc. There are irrevocable trusts that can protect assets.

I assumed this was bullshit, but it seems not. TIL. https://realchernobyl.com/en/map-of-pollution

Dude. Fucking doctor ASAP. Systemic rash is a possible sign of large-scale death of your red blood cells. Tissue necrosis is no fun. My dad was bitten as a kid, was on IV antibiotics for days and needed surgery, has a chunk out of his thigh that looks like someone took an melon scoop to it.
