    Yeah I have wood chisels but I don't know how well i can cut an angle inside there. Maybe it would make sense to do something like this to avoid that.

    So my girlfriend asked if I could build something like this for her Berkey water filter. Of course I can, but I am thinking about complicating it for myself. I have always wanted to do a wedged through tenon, kind of like this... I would probably make it out of a hardwood 2x4 to give myself...

    I just use yellow mustard. The vinegar evaporates off so it doesn't affect the flavor much.

    Yeah, don't confuse nerd rage on the internet for everyone hating the show. I didn't find the ending to be especially inspiring, but I didn't get all the hate for it. I think it was mostly people who were unhappy that it didn't follow their personal fanfic that they had been writing for it...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I've heard that if you have a heart attack before 50 it's probably genetic no matter how healthy or unhealthy you are (short of say, massive amounts of cocaine or something). You can damage your heart by being unhealthy/having uncontrolled high blood pressure but it takes a while.

    Home Improvement

    I was a EE in a past life but I can't think of an explanation for this. A good rule of thumb though whenever electrical circuits start acting haunted, it's usually because of a grounding problem. Maybe a loose wire in your neutral or ground bars or something broken in there. There could be...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    And a lot of times it's just to go fail as a head coach. I think when the Chargers hired Norv Turner away from the 49ers to be their head coach it made both teams worse.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    It was ideal. Dominate for 3/4 of the game and then lose it in the 4th to improve draft position. Sort of wish they had done the same last week vs. the Cards. Holy shit watching CJ Beathard try to play quarterback is painful. In the first half it seemed like he didn't want to even try to...

    I don't know what's causing it, but i'd get it checked out asap. Very weird, especially if it started effecting multiple circuits at the same time. Is it always the same breaker getting tripped or multiple ones?

    My old cow dog is coming up on his 12th birthday and he's really slowed down this year. I took him to move cows on the 4-wheeler yesterday and even with my young dog running alongside so he can have the whole back to himself he can barely stay on and then when he falls off it takes him forever...

    Bandwagon's Drones Thread

    If you just want to get some shots of your parent's house there is probably someone who would come out and do it for much less than the cost of a drone. On the other hand, if you tell the neighbors what you're doing, I think the chances of you getting in any trouble doing a 1-time flight to...

    A lot of trades are getting that way. The average age of a welder in the US is 55 as well. Farmers it's pushing 60. Construction trades it's about 40 but it's getting older every year. I hope people know that these people are the ones that actually make society work and software engineers...

    Out west we don't have access to a lot of hardwood unless you're on the coast. Pine isn't the greatest firewood but there's an infinite supply right out my back door. The only real hardwood that grows here is Ash and there's way less of it than pine.

    The desert. Rural parts of Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. Stay away from the mountains and you'll avoid the democrats. On the other hand, those areas suck for other reasons.

    Smokers / Grills

    Most of them have a hole and a little metal door that closes over it to just leave enough space for the wires after you pass the probe through. I find this to be very adequate but I imagine the silicone ones are probably a bit tighter seal.

    Ham vs Turkey

    You don't want to make stuffing inside the bird no matter how you're cooking it. You will either wind up with stuffing that hasn't gotten warm enough in the middle to kill bacteria and catch salmonella or you will overcook your bird in order to get the stuffing done. Better to just make the...

    Ham vs Turkey

    Not generally. There's no breading. It's just like turkey pretty much, but it tends to stay moist and get nice crisp skin.

    Ham vs Turkey

    I can't believe it took this long for someone to post the correct answer. The best thing we ever did as a family was switch from ham or turkey to prime rib on Christmas. There's no comparison. I walked by the meat counter at the local grocery store yesterday and there were prime rib roasts...

    I was in a 5 once that was centered maybe 25 miles away. There was no question the ground was shaking, but it's not like water was sloshing out of my glass or anything. Certainly wasn't knocking anything off of a shelf. In the 10 years I was in California I was very disappointed with the...

    Yeah, apples can last for months in the fridge. Actually, it's pretty common for the apples at the store to be months old already, especially if it's not apple season. https://wholefully.com/how-to-store-apples/

    I'm guessing those of us that wait until the last minute to buy Christmas gifts are going to get fucked this year. USPS was basically in collapse already and I'm sure a bunch of snow on the east coast won't help. The last 3-day priority mail package I got took 14 days to arrive.
