    It is, but in the recent crazy seller's markets people have been waiving essentially all the contingencies (including sometimes inspection, wtf) in order to make their offers more attractive.

    For sure. Renzo incriminates himself in assault in his OWN versions of his stories. If he weren't so charismatic he'd probably be in jail.

    Renzo is like the last guy in earth you should antagonize. Multiple time ADCC champion, veteran MMA fighter, and more than willing to throw down in public even in his 50s. Loving ADCC this year. Tons of upsets, great action, and my friend and past training partner Gabriel Sousa is in the semis...

    Last rental house I lived in the property manager hired some dude to cut down a half-fallen tree. I shit you not, the guy stood on a ladder directly under the leaning trunk, cutting above his head with the chainsaw, while wearing shorts and sandals and zero PPE of any kind. I had to go wait on...

    I've used both and have been greatly confused by how they are supposed to be improving on which experiences. It's like they're designed by five or six UI/IT teams who don't talk to each other and can't remember what school is actually like.

    Not saying anything about your execution, but basically every house I've been in where people DIY'd wood floors there were divots fucking everywhere from misusing the sander. Weekend warriors beware.

    I used to do BJJ with some specops guys. The MMA fighter would absolutely tool the seal absent weapons. The level of hand to hand fighting in the armed forces, even special forces, is not high and basically amounts to "hold off the untrained dude until your buddies can shoot him." If you're...

    Just from eyeballing the video, it increased speed by over 100 mph is less than a second. That's quite a kick in the seat. If that wouldn't have injured crew, the 40 seconds of freefall after the boost would have them in both cardiac arrest and in need of fresh pants. Video timestamped to RUD:

    Right, this is why moulding joints are filled with caulk. It's a better solution than complicated fasteners or glue.
  19. Captain Suave

    Woodworking

    Speaking strictly to the question of glue, the point is that the strength of the glue absent long grain fiber bonds is very weak. The orientation (butt vs miter vs perpendicular) isn't the issue. None of this really matters for the door casing because that corner isn't load bearing and the only...

    Yeah, I've seen those. The tests show end grain glue provides more than no strength, but the overall message is easy to misinterpret. End grain glue joints are indeed as strong as the wood side grain, but that isn't actually saying very much. The side grain is very weak compared to the long...

    Those miters are essentially end grain joints; the glue doesn't add much. Moulding isn't glued during installation because a) it's not under load and doesn't need it and b) then it would be impossible to repair or renovate.

    One FC was on the right track with hydration testing. It needs to be done over a period of weeks in advance and pull the plug hard so fighters don't fuck around. The trouble is weight cutting is just totally ingrained in the culture of every combat sport.

    Khamzat was apparently advised by doctors to stop his weight cut. I imagine he was dehydrated enough to risk organ damage or something. Weight cutting is stupid. EVERYONE would be better off if we could figure out a way just to have dudes fight at their natural weight. Safer for the fighters...

    For space, maybe, but sheets of ply are awkward and heavy and getting them up and down would be a major pain. And if you ever have multiple types of sheets, the one you want will be in the middle of the stack.
