    Been going through Mel Brooks catalog and re-watched Blazing Saddles last night. Still hilarious and a good message cranked up to absurdity levels. It is a great example of how that style of comedy should be executed. There’s also almost too much “silly,” to quote Monty Python. Kind of want to...

    The Netflix Thread

    We just watched this. Was pretty enjoyable. Did make me want to go back and watch some classics like Can't Hardly Wait and She's All That, but this was enjoyable. I did a big WTF when he mentioned RatM as a Metal band, but then saw Tom Morrello co-produced (at least I swore his name was 3rd on...

    I went back to the drawing board on my misaligned drawer divider issue. It didn't make sense in my mind and after drawing it out to try and address it by creating two more misaligned dividers. After looking at it in person I decided to just correct the overall issue. Where the rear of the...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Based on his comments in the article linked above it sounded as if this was the plan before he even started. I guess no reason to believe that is any type of cover. I hate we really only got one bit Hemmer episode that mostly featured Uhura. This whole season really felt like her story, not in a...

    A little bit of a dilemma on my table build. Due to no fault of my own, obviously, my right and left drawer dividers are not parallel with each other. They're about 3/8" out from back to front. My original plans called for a single middle drawer divider. I'm concerned that using it will cause...

    Slormancer - Early Access ARPG

    Pretty sure “slor” is how we pronounced SLR or “slutty lesbian roleplayer” back in EQ.

    Thats cool. Was it an Amazon one? I think you mentioned earlier but I forgot. Was thinking about CNC because it’d be nice to toy with and do some other things. But then thought the PC would be full of dust and the screen covered.

    Star Ocean: The Divine Force

    Vesperia is my favorite but was also my first Tales, back on GameCube. Star Ocean 3 was great, no idea how many hours I poured in to that farming mats for platinum only to realize I had missed some recipe somewhere and could not get it (it has been a while but that’s my memory of the...

    Coheed and Cambria: Vaxis - Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind

    I'm with you there. On first listen once Ladders of Supremacy hit I was like "hell yeah!" and it remains my favorite track on the album. Rise, Naianasha was my favorite single already and the outro of Window of the Waking Mind is great and has the direct story drops. Part of me feels like that...

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    That’s funny because I’m 25% finished according to my Kindle and had similar thoughts, although I have no particular dislike for any character so far. There was something like 4/5 pages of description of them approaching the ring or flying over it, I remember thinking last night “just get on...

    The one constant I've experienced about wood movement is that it will move. Some more, some less. It doesn't matter how many dowels or glue or screws you use that pressure wants to go somewhere. Likely it'll just split between your two dowels or screws and then you'll have a crack in the middle...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Yeah that makes sense completely. As an ending it would have been fine later on. Had it not been on the heels of the set up of the episode. That seemed to be taking the story in one direction. Then they turn around and swoosh her off and close it out. If that makes sense. Anyways, don't mean to...

    Coheed and Cambria: Vaxis - Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind

    Just realized this released in full. The first few singles have been okay but I usually don't like some of them as singles and appreciate them more wrapped around the whole album. Looking forward to how this continues The Unheavenly Creatures story of Nia and Nostrand.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I thought it was a really cool Holodeck episode without the holodeck. Everyone seemed like they were having fun playing their parts and a good time. M’Benga isn’t usually so hard to understand but we (annoyingly) watch most things with subtitles on (not my idea). But he did sound like a bad...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Yeah, I need to figure out if I want to just get it for the Switch or find a way to stream the PC Game Pass version. The DF review made it sound like they were patching the worst bugs on Switch, but that it was still the worst of the versions. Would love for the 4 year old to swap over to Ninja...

    Had a little bit of time to make some progress today. I'm almost very very happy with how things are going. With the base frame together I'm 4/16" out of square and can pull that in once I put the front frame rails on. I also laid the top on it just to see how it looks and how the top sits and...

    Nah it is a pretty impressive chonky thick black rubber. Was difficult to slide up over the tailpipe threads for the nut. Looking at the instructions they call it a rubber washer. I’m just going to take it all apart and reassemble.

    Sorry this is the new one that is plastic, not the previous picture of the old. My fault for not being more specific. Between the gasket and the bottom of the basin. I can tighten the jamb nut but there's still a small trickle coming out at the top of the gasket. It is like it didn't seat in...

    It probably was mold b/c it came away with a wet cloth and some cleaning. My issue now is that with the replacement gasket and nut there's a small leak between the bottom of the basin and the gasket. Tightening it has turned it from a drip to just enough to wet the rubber gasket. I may try to...

    Captain Buck Angel aside (Jesus what a cringe as all hell pathetic attempt at a character who will no doubt turn in to the Big Bad)… Just a waste of an episode. Nothing happened.

    I don't know if I mentioned but my fiancé's father passed away a few years ago, before we started dating. When we visited her mom a couple months back she let me take his miter saw.

    What did you just read?

    Just finished Book 1 - 5 of Red Rising. By the end I was pretty burnt out and didn’t really enjoy Book 5. It felt like a lot of steam was lost in moving from Book 3 to 4 and the restructuring of the narrative to involve all the other POV. Darrow turned in to a boring character. The military...

    I can tell you one thing. After today I'm going to buy a small adjustable wrench that fits in spaces that a grown man's arm cannot fit and is short enough to still turn. These damn full size wrenches are a BITCH to work with and the other 4 sinks are going to be just as tight.

    I've found in my 8 years so far that it is a bell curve, so to speak. Start out with nothing, get deep in projects, buy to fill your niches, gaps, grow, and to learn and experiment. Then downsize and pare back and focus on the tools your really need, get rid of some of the extra stuff you...

    Yeah I ended up having to (or at least what worked for me) raise the drain up and shove a long screw driver through to pin one end against the sink to get leverage and unscrew the two pieces. Then it came out. Was a huge pita.

    Am I going to have to cut this off with a dremel or something? Never encountered this changing bathroom sink hardware at my old homes, but no idea how they got this in there. The drain is like a solid piece of pipe… *edit: nm got it two seconds later lol

    Yep I did the same thing. Beneath my top there is a substructure for mounting the bolts, so not just the plywood. But I filled the gaps between with scrap pieces of plywood so there'd be more surface area to mount to. Was either going to put my little 7" miter saw on the other side or a belt /...
