    Wouldn't surprise me. Stipe mumbles terribly, which I assume is due to accumulated damage.

    Well, you did buy a router table with a plastic fence. That said, you can always use push sticks/pads to keep the work on the table or bolt on an auxiliary wooden fence to give yourself something to clamp to.

    It's in the name - Chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Less head trauma is better and more is worse.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I like the tech, but the dust accumulation on those bumpy interior walls is going to be gross in a couple years. I'd spring for the more expensive version where they smooth the concrete as it sets, or at least plaster over it.

    What did you just read?

    Finished Gideon & Harrow the Ninth. Love the first, significantly more tepid on the second. The lore is spectacular but the best parts of the first book were not really present in the sequel. I dislike second-person prose and stories where the reader knows more than the characters. Harrow is the...

    I do think everyone should work a shitty job like retail or food service for some period of their life, if only as a cautionary experience and movitvation for doing something higher leverage. Preferably that happens during high school summers or concurrently with secondary education, but unless...

    It took me several months, and they demanded that I go to the county and get notarized copies of the property records. It was an enormous fucking pain.

    When I tried to sell my house I discovered that Zillow had unilaterally injected a totally phantom sale 2 years prior (I'd been there for 10 years) into the property history at roughly 50% of what the house was actually worth. I got months of lowball offers from people who were using that as a...

    Fuck HOAs. I had one growing up that had a clause against doing auto maintenance in the driveway. One time my dad's car wouldn't start and he popped the hood for less than five minutes to diagnose and fix a loose battery terminal connector. Some fucker reported him to the HOA and they tried to...

    It doesn't even take that. My wife and I work from home and the kids ride a bike to school so we drive our cars only a handful of miles a week in sub-mile increments. If we don't use drip chargers the batteries discharge in a month or less.

    I doubt the issue was really about symptoms or no symptoms. What Diego's camp was asking for was the UFC's records of Diego. Surely Diego can get his own records straight from the doctors, so it's not about the raw information. Instead, they want to know what the UFC was aware of at what time...

    No. The mass of our solar system was all under the same forces before the Sun or any of the planets formed. The orbits are due to spin of the accretion disc as the dust and gas collapsed. We're moving together in the same reference frame, not dragged by the Sun. If you're thinking of that...

    That was a weird conversation. Why would the UFC have medical records that Diego can't get just by asking the doctor? On the one hand, a man should be entitled to his own health history. On the other, it sounds like the UFC is worried about some kind of future legal liability with regard to the...

    Heh, I hear that. I was on crutches for eight weeks for my right hip. I literally tied a rope around my waist and pulled a cart around the house just so I was able to move anything at all from one place to another.

    What part of the country are you in? If you're got moisture and/or termites, using that untreated softwood will just have you doing this all again in a couple years.

    This guy's channel is great. He has some land out in the wilderness and on a series of extended vacations built a pretty decent log cabin and bunch of furniture and craft items, basically all by hand with self-made tools (less the chainsaws, obviously).

    I picked up both, and FWIW "How to Reassess Your Chess" claims itself to be geared at 1400-2100 players and skips most of the bedrock basics. I've started Nimzowitsch and it looks like it's building towards the places I need to go.
