If they're not immediate family I say, "Honestly, I have a lot invested in this gear, and materials are expensive. I'd be happy to do it for you at cost if you like." And then "cost" is whatever you want, scaled by how much you like them and how much free time you currently have.

Good. I spent my junior high/high school years in a zombie haze because I had to wake up at 6 to get to 7:15 early period. Fuck that.

Fractals are cool and I've seen this technique a bunch in my Instagram feed. I've also been electrocuted a couple times and this sets off most of my "that looks like a bad fucking idea" warning bells. (Start at 7:20 if the timestamp doesn't work. Gnarly survivor hand photo at 13:04.)

I do a lot of work with paper mills. Green hardwoods are ~45% water by mass and softwoods can be upwards of 55%. For woodworking that should ideally come down to ~10%. It's why drying lumber is such a finnicky process.

If you stop in the middle of a cut is it still level?

I've been battling similar shit for months due to screen time. I have a permanent twitch in my lower eyelid and my right eye has trouble focusing on distances > 10 feet. It gets better if I spend 2-3 outside and in the workshop, but I have a desk job.

The amount of deflection would be the same on the top and bottom of each cut, so they're still parallel, if not necessarily level (ignoring the tiny curvature in the bend of the bar).

Well yeah, they only painted what felt like accomplishments

Sport climber/youtuber does an unexpected free solo with Alex Honnold

I'd commit suicide about the second time I had to load that fucker.

This guy's entire channel is amazing. He'll talk basically off the cuff for half an hour at a time about incredibly technical material and deliver some of the clearest and most concise lectures I've ever seen. A+++ edutainment.

Clippings in your lawn can cause buildup that shelters pests and fungus. Some people say it can make allergies worse. Side discharge tends to pile up and cut off light to the grass underneath, plus is ugly. Mulching is kind of a middle ground where theoretically the smaller pieces decay faster...

Just as a gentle criticism, wood movement is why most tables are constructed with the grain running in the long direction of the top. The way you've set it up could get 3-4x more shifting than if the grain were oriented the other way. On the other hand, if it's already well-acclimated and going...

What phone? My kid can have a phone when he gets a job.

I can count on a couple fingers the times my dad actually laid hands on me, but he sure had the knack of putting the fear of god into us with expressions and body language. I seem to have inherited it as well. I haven't given physical feedback to my kids since they could talk, but I can crush...

0% chance they don't have 100 more people and/or a bunch of earth movers just off camera. I remember reading some articles about how these are all funded by urban production companies who rake in all the YT revenue. Many of these builds are in the same woods just out of camera shot of each other:

I can understand Magnus' position. He's fucking bored of playing 12-14 high-pressure classical games against a single opponent and he's played and beaten the likely winners already. All the fun is in the Candidates, where you get to prep for a pile of interesting people, and he hasn't been able...

I've used those figure eight fasteners (generic from Amazon) on several projects. They're great. The wood movement police will be knocking on your door shortly.

Well then, I guess that settles it.

Please explain how blockchain eliminates the need for corporate lawyers and/or legal compliance. The laws are still there regardless of what the tech does or doesn't do.

Pretty sure that was Kenny Florian. He's been a BJJ black belt for 12+ years.

That total is BS. Adding up my purchase history in Excel I get $2200. (Which is shockingly low given my account opened in 2008.)

I don't think those words mean the same to you as they do to the rest of us. Your messy shop is neater than mine after I clean. Sometimes I can't even see the floor. Table looks good. Remember that no one else knows where you screwed up, and will never see your mistakes.

Playing a FPS with changing DPI based on heart rate sounds like the premise of some Japanese game show, though they'd also probably electrocute the contestant's testicles when they got shot.

The good news for Sagan is that, if the cosmological constant is positive and remains so, he'll eventually be right, if only temporarily, as galaxies drop behind the observable horizon.

It's pre-alpha. They probably don't have anything mid level built yet. What we're looking at is basically a tech demo. There's still a fuckton of development left about which we can be hopeless.

LOL: "I think these tight tenons are a new thing, anyway." That earned a sub from me.

Pedantic correction: If you use the planer your two sides will always be parallel (at least at any given opposing point), since what a planer does is remove stock to a given thickness. They are not guaranteed to be straight, however, which is the primary purpose of the jointer. Edit: If he used...

That fucking sucks. I've had uncountable meniscus lockups, some relatively long-lasting, and it's a singular, miserable feeling. There's nothing quite like going from feeling like a prime athlete to a cripple in five seconds to change your perspective.

It wasn't that bad. I worked backwards from the planer bed and figured out where the pivot point needed to be given the 2x4 framing for the platform base and the 1.5'' base it's sitting on. Then for the miter saw I inset its base because it's got a taller working height than the planer. Both...

I put my stuff on flip-top carts. The work surface for each machine is the height of my bench when it's on top. The hinge is a section of fence top rail.

I meant them. I went to school with those guys. They're winging it like everyone else, just with more of other people's money and fancier justifications for their guessing. Just look at the articles they write. At any given time there's +/- 100% variance in the forecasts. While many of them have...

While there's little controversy about what "should" be done, I think there's still a large amount of uncertainty, and thus speculation around, about which levers will be pulled how hard and when. Plus, everyone's time horizons are so fucking short these days I'd be surprised if anyone was...

Sorry, I didn't mean to misrepresent anything with the edit. Were you not making the point that utility microtransactions are bad? I think I paid maybe $30 total in stash tabs for however many hundreds of hours I played in PoE. I fail to see the abusive part. Yeah, there's nothing fun about...

Disagree. Games cost money to make and I don't mind paying a few bucks to get to baseline utility once I know I like the game. F2P mode is a convenience-compromised demo, not a full-service perpetual right. I feel much worse about buying cosmetics that don't do anything for me. As far as D4...

I think the industry has taken the virtues of mobile fully backwards. The point is so the player can play when and where WE want, not be forced to play when the devs want. Why are we allowing ourselves to put up with this shit? This game had better tank long-term or else we'll jut get more of...
