    I've found myself in need of a router plane and refuse to pay Veritas prices, which pretty much leaves me to make my own. Here's a pair of designs that look decent, which I will take a swing at: Paul Sellers: Plans -...

    I've tried being completely honest with my wife and describe to her the kind of hard-wired lecherous horndogs that men really are deep down, but she refuses to believe me. Unrelated:

    It's sort of the Diaz formula. Be tough enough not to lose and have such good cardio that late in the fight your opponents are all sloppier than you.

    Entirely possible. I was playing Soulfist and am not seeing much connection between the skills in the first hour or so.

    See, I'm a massive ARPG addict and I'm having trouble for the opposite reasons. The combat is just kinda... there. It isn't obvious anywhere I can see how and why I should be using different skills when, why they have different timers, and what difference it makes. The graphics and animations...

    Maybe it's just me and age-induced ADHD, but I'm having a surprisingly hard time getting into this. It just feels flat somehow. Maybe I'm MMO'd out for a lifetime.

    Yeesh. Yeah, if they're rewriting songs to have any kind of poetic/musical consistency in every localization I see how that would take forever.

    You still benefit from rates negotiated by the insurance company even if you're paying under your deductible. Personally, I'm easily $100,000 ahead on my health insurance. I've had eight orthopedic surgeries. Much like this guy probably did:

    I trained with him briefly when we were at the same jiu jitsu school in Atlanta. He was fucking nuts. I'm surprised he's not in jail or dead. (Edit: I guess he's been in prison recently, but still.)

    Odds are very high that it's cheaper for them to actually get their shit together and do the job than it is to talk to their lawyer for any length of time about even a frivolous case.

    Depends wildly where you are. Where I am in LA houses are still going 20% over list in cash with a dozen offers inside of a week.

    There's no accounting for the number of ways it's possible for people to fuck things up. For anything to do with houses, I take whatever people give me as timelines and add 30%. A month overlap here and there is the cost of insuring against not having anywhere to put your shit in transitions.

    For me it's like listening to bands from high school. I know objectively they're not the best, but there's something irreplaceable about them. D2 is dead center of that feeling.

    If you like that profile I'm sure you could run a simple half-lapped center brace under the top and under the shelf. That would be plenty strong, and as you say no one would see it.

    How are you planning to fasten the top? If it's any kind of floating clip or anthing I'd worry about the frame racking along the length.

    It may be the average, but that used to be the rule of thumb for MINIUMUM time you should live in a house so that appreciation can offset the transaction costs.

    This is why I grew up in rental houses until the rates came down in the early 90's. My dad took one look at my uncle with a 12.5% mortgage and went "LOL nope".

    The point was specifically about meeting all the neighbors prior to attempting to buy the house. Obviously you socialize with everyone after moving in. You are doing exactly what I suggested re: the one you don't like.

    In a settled area you would have as many as five households touching your property. Do you knock on their doors and schedule an interview with all of them before putting down an offer? Park in front of their house to wait for them if they aren't home? Even if you did that, most people can put on...
