    It actually was, haha, checked the can. Think I got used to hearing Vice Grip Garage guy say break cleaner.

    My gas mower wouldn't start 1st mow of the seasons last weekend. Couple of squirts of brake cleaner in the intake and it lit up immediately. Panicked for about half a second. Yeah but it is a similar "get off my lawn" argument about classic vs. modern cars and the ability for an individual to...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Enterprise? Haha. Just finished catching up and yeah, nostalgia overload and I enjoyed (almost) every minute of it. It is ridiculous but at least it is Star Trek ridiculous. Enterprise D still looks about 1,000% better than any of the stuff they've tried to come up with. Seeing it pull out of...

    Wife surprised me by coming home a day early so I started rushing to finish my bed project for our 5 year old. Few things got tweaked and I wasn't able to finish everything. Main thing left are the mattress slats. Didn't pre-cut 24 of them because based on experience that just seems like...

    Twice I’ve replaced a microwave above a range with a built in vent and both times it has been far more of a pain in the ass than the $200 or whatever the microwave cost. @Daidraco finally used my Project Painter+ today. Primed all the parts of the bed I built for our son and got a coat of the...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I don’t know anything about this show other than the first two episodes of Season 1 were so bad I just dropped out. Y’all got me interring Season 3 which has been pretty dang entertaining. The whole “oohh random new bad in the most awesomest ship ever!” thing is a bit played out. But at least...

    I’m right at the part where the competition is starting and, maybe like @Vorph was meaning, am just not that in to it. I mean it isn’t bad or anything, just hasn’t gripped me. It has been ages and however many books since Cradle 1 but I remember being hooked pretty quick then reading 2,3,4 in...

    The Tomorrow War - What the fuck happened to this abortion of a movie? This was terrible. The whole thing was a waste. Waste of Pratt, waste of Strahovski, Gilpin… waste of concept. I don’t even want to rate this piece of shit.

    That’s what I was going for but didn’t quite have the carpet to make it (my fault since I pulled the carpet and cut it back) so there’s a slight reveal of the transition with the door closed. So missed it by a tad.

    Not at all, appreciate the feedback. If this doesn’t work out I’ll look in to that one. It is a business expense and I need to start working on my deductions for the year anyways. Another consultant that I cross paths with just picked up a Galaxy Book 3 Pro that he is liking.

    Was just able to get to this today. Wife and kid are visiting her mom until Sunday so I took 3 days off to work on home projects. I'm pitiful at cutting the edge of carpet apparently. Not actually sure how to get it to look better lol. I added a tack strip at the edge to keep the carpet secure...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Yessir, I have my copy locked in and it will be the same number as my Book of the Fallen version. Also there's a guy I found from eBay that may be doing some custom tray case stuff for Malazan. He's a part of the SubPress group on Facebook and said he'd put a notification there.

    Internet arguments aside about dowels vs. dominos, at least the domino being a loose tenon allows you flexibility and a little movement to get your alignment down while still providing some benefit to strength.

    The Astronaut Figurine and the other devices are good placeholders for a "checkpoint" system. They aren't 100% available every run in every spot you'd want them but they're there and able to give you a do over if you need it.

    I think you could do the mortise and tenon pretty easily once you get the process set up and a secure jig. Either with the CNC (maybe, I have no idea how CNC works) or your own plunge router. If you have a consistent apron and leg then you're just batching pieces out and have minimal setup...

    It is but it isn’t. There’s enough “quirkiness” that while both characters are miserable and pretty much terrible people, it is still enjoyable. The writing and production throw in enough that makes it feel not grounded in reality to drag the whole thing down. It isn’t for everyone or something...

    Sure, but the question is, can I get the gas company to pay for it / contribute since their line "is causing the ground to settle irregularly and therefore pay me?" sort of thing. Without question they need to be involved one way or another with whoever comes out and does the repairs.

    Went ahead and ordered the X1 Carbon off Amazon b/c the same build was $400 more expensive from Lenovo's site even after their coupon. Should be here Wednesday. i7-1260P 16gig RAM 1TB HD 14" 1920x1200 kind of sucks but I'm primarily on my UW at home and only on the road once a month max $1,500

    Y'all are crazy. There was nothing excessively difficult or prohibiting in this. Especially given how pervasive the rogue-lite and Souls genre is these days.

    I'll check in to that. The Lenovo X1 seems so highly rated overall I'm almost tempted to say screw the next 3 weeks worth of research and just buying the 11th Gen which are 40% off now that the 12th Gen are coming out. As long as it can push my Ultrawide in my home office setup and keep a few...

    The battery on my Eluktronics has pretty much taken a dump after a year. It ended up not being what I needed anyways. Traveling for work usually has me in meetings 12 hours a day and at the end I just want to lay down and read, not stare at the screen longer and play a game. So the mobile 3080...

    This part. That bit just looks like a regular straight bit with no guide bearing. And I don't see anything guiding him parallel against the sides of the mortise. Just kind of saying that I'd end up destroying the whole thing if I tried that (probably because I have tried lol).

    That's awesome. The tennon cutter saw is interesting, now sure I've seen that before. The bit he was using to clean out the mortise didn't look like a pattern or flush trim bit, didn't see a collar on it. If that was freehand that's pretty great. I'd probably end up screwing those up.

    It sounded as if at one point he was meant to be but then ultimately not taken in that direction. Probably a lot of overlap remained and rather than tie it all together and work it all out he was just another mysterious character that exists.
