I think this puts the nail in the coffin of my house-buying exercise. I took out ~60% equity worth at SPY 450; the way things are heading I could make a couple hundred grand if I buy this and suck up another rental for a while.

Coming from an engineering family it was a bit of a mindfuck to realize that if I just stopped measuring I could actually make things fit to a precision that I can't even see. The same principle applies to getting parts to fit inside a build. Just slightly oversize everything and take a minute...

Your house could be filled with fine ash particulates you can't even see. Blow some air around to kick up the dust and then vent it out, see if it's better.

Indoor wood fires are a likely culprit. It doesn't burn efficiently in fireplaces and the smoke has all kinds of irritants, particulates, and undesirable gasses in it.

Totally shocking. What could have led to this?? Red flag #2, when you're still only "engaged" after 15 years, four kids, and life-changing wealth. (#1 obviously, is repeated domestic abuse. Dude's got some nerve to feel sorry for himself.)

Konami code, plus secret character. https://steamlists.com/vampire-survivors-some-cheat-codes-you-can-use/

It's not THAT hard if you're careful with a scribe and rotary tool.

I'm in LA; I just filled up for $4.19. If you're buying $6.25 you're doing it wrong.

"Vertical clamping anywhere" is broadly the problem that holdfasts are meant to solve. My bench is 3'' thick so I can still use clamps at the edges, and whenever I need a holdfast somewhere I can't already reach I just put in another hole with my bit brace.

SYP I cut down from 2x12's, but basically yes.

These are the casters I've used on my main woodworking bench and they've been great, rated for 400 lbs and no trouble rolling over junk on the floor. I've seen people weld a strip of flat bar between them so you can flip both at the same time.

IMO it's a must-have if you have any kind of home data/media server, or if you want the lowest possible ping for gaming.

Ikea has some pretty affordable "butcher block" countertops if you don't mind that they aren't 100% solid wood (they're veneered, but thick). I have some desks made from back when they really were solid wood and they've held up great for 15 years.

I like watching competent people do real things.

A little poppier than I normally go for, but the bassist is fucking unreal.

Just finished this myself. I agree with some of the criticisms of Tanaka being a bit tacked on, but it wasn't egregious. Great other than that, both from a sci fi/imagination perspective and treatment of the characters. Epilogue was perfect, short and sweet. Overall, it's wonderful to have such...

Porn is the proper pathway for learning digital opsec. If you're talking sub-teen kids, they need to have supervised/gated device access for a host of reasons anyway.

New-to-me channel. The guy's material is very well structured and presented. Workshop Companion

My daughter went to a Montessori pre-K. She didn't have any trouble transitioning to regular school beyond being bored because she could already read and do arithmetic at a 1st grade level. Her program was closer to a normal school, though, kinda Montessori-lite.

GOAT chin on this kid.

There are about 250,000 tons of nuclear water globally. The mass of the sun is ~2,190,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons spread over the volume of 1.3 million Earths. I don't think it'll change much.

If you want to get storage and security figured out right quickly, put the waste under the Capitol building.

This is why I came up with my "two birds with one stone" plan. We can solve the energy crisis and the obesity crisis simultaneously by rigging up all the exercise equipment in all the health clubs to winding a giant spring, which will power a catapult to ballistically launch nuclear waste into...

I have one of these. I generally like it a lot, but the miter slots are dogshit and open up at the back end of the table, which makes all my sleds wobble at the end of the cuts. The table is aluminum so it's possible to true them up with a router, but I haven't had the balls to try that yet...

My grandfather developed some of the first magnetic computer memory. I have an early prototype in my office; it takes up half a wall for a single byte. Progress is cool.

https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/desktop-computers.45/ Building a PC is straightforward as long as you do your homework first.

A non-furniture project from me this time. My son has a tent/canopy over his bed that I made for him, and he wanted a lamp so that he could read inside at night. When asked what it should look like, he said, "An avocado". Odd choice for a lamp and from a 10 year old, but whatever. I made this...

Interesting. My wife is the opposite. Only her parents use her Chinese name. Also, WeChat is fucking cancerous. I have to do a periodic cache cleaning of my mother-in-law's phone or else it fills up the storage and grinds the device to a halt.

No, they'll just pivot to become an actual space exploration/tourism company because it's easier than delivering this game's feature list.

Only people over 80 even remember the 50's.

People with more means can afford luxuries. Story at 11...

More like $250k according to the last figures I saw. I have zero qualms about sending my kids to after-school programs, even just so they don't have to spend 100% of their non-school time with us. I love my kids, but the fact is that parenting is hard and exhausting and their relationships are...

Context and nuance hard. PE single normalized metric. Investor no need think or research.

Pretty clear grounds and evidence for removal of custody rights if your sister wanted it.

Not a perfect game, but I'm enjoying it. I paid more for a taco at lunch.

GIS because, er, science, decides relevant search terms are "Kitchen Appliance". Lol.

Right, that's what I meant. It's cool tech, but shouldn't be marketed as "Full Self Driving" until it can safely drive anywhere without human supervision.

Full Self Driving. No clue how they're going to license something that doesn't exist.
