    Woodworking

    That's how I got into the hobby in the first place. I had a bunch of Ikea shit that shortly failed and I thought to myself, "Real furniture is crazy expensive, but I could totally do better than this on my own." So I watched a lot of guys on YouTube (Paul Sellers, Rob Cosman, etc.), and then I...

    They don't unless they find rich customers willing to pay thousands of dollars for the cost of labor. Cost-sensive people buy bullshit from Ikea. That's just the nature of the craft. The easy solutions mostly suck.

    IMO this is a more structurally sound knock-down hardware setup than a single bracket. (Yes, it has mortise/tenon but those are the gold standard for a reason): https://www.finewoodworking.com/2010/04/08/use-bed-bolts-for-a-knock-down-table If you don't care about the knock-down feature, it's...

    As people have been trying to tell you, the point of the extra monitors is not multitasking but to reduce the cost of switching your attention. Alt tabbing and finding the window you want 200 times an hour gets old with a quickness. Even if it only takes you one second that's a big productivity...

    What part of town are you in? LA county is four times the size of Rhode Island. What kind of food do you like?

    Business Travel

    Go for it if you really like airports and hotels. Personally, I'd take the pay cut not to be on the road. I worked for AT Kearney after college and noped out of that lifestyle as soon as I realize how much it sucked for me.

    I was responding to your reference of the tenon cutting saw. Cool tools and a steady hand for sure.

    The radial arm saw? Those are neat tools if you use them properly. The old use case documentation is written by sone hilarious evil genius. Or did you mean the shaper he used to finish the cheeks? I think that was actually a giant router bit that looks like a blade.

    I still have to fight TikTok to give me a feed exclusively of girls in yoga pants. The AI just does not believe I don't give a shit about sports.

    I agree that Sanderson doesn't write prose for the ages, but so what? He makes up for it in volume and enthusiasm. This is not an article that needed to be written.

    Just got the master bath online, thankfully, though I might make my son camp in the yard until drywall is finished in his room so I don't have to listen to the kids fight in a single bedroom.

    Not investment related but I need to vent. Just bought a place and today is moving day. It's a 3/2 we're hoping to convert to a 4/3 but are stuck in renovation hell with a cascade of delays and as of yesterday it was a 2/0. FML.

    Yes, you don't know what to look for. He's obviously out at ~0:13. A conscious person defending a triangle does not slump over like that. Plus his breathing goes spastic at the same time, which you can see in his ribs.

    It would make sense to have enough skill points to get at least every skill and its primary upgrade, otherwise it'd be super fucking annoying to have to unspec the whole tree just to change something at the beginning.

    Chat GPT AI

    There is some randomness in the responses, and since it's a text prediction machine and not actually doing math this is just two similar but different hallucinations of a math problem's answer. Edit: The correct answer is 7282.8 ft^3, so not only was it inconsistent but it was wrong twice.

    Fuck plumbers. Guy just quoted me $11k for roughing in plumbing on my bathroom remodel. Moving sink, shower, toilet in a room that's already demoed with walls exposed. Wtf, if you don't want the work just say you're busy.

    Barb felt fine to me early levels, but I did Lunging Strike and Upheaval. Seemed to clear as fast as anything else and I barely got hit because I was moving.

    Given these models' tendency to hallucinate, I don't think the responses should be taken as gospel about anything, including itself.

    Yup. I had a friend in college who did exactly this. He got slapped a lot... but he also ended up getting laid on almost every night he wanted to. There are all kinds.
