Nice project. I enjoyed reading through the step-by-step.
You can rest assured that the greater the likelihood of a GOP Senate takeover, the more we will see stalling tactics over judicial appointments as the election nears. It is going to be a shit show. Again.
Developing user cliques around fish names.
Should there be a check valve downstream from the pump?
Is that a jointer in the 5th pic? Are they worth the investment? I have always wanted one but don’t know if it is worth pulling the trigger,
Right you are! Thanks for the correction.
A SCOTUS that is so willing to ignore its own precedent (Dobbs) deserves no deference to the (informal!) precedent of a 9-Justice bench. There are 11 Federal judicial circuits. An 11-justice court has a nice symmetry to it.
Not sure how to express this, but the feel here is reminiscent of Reddit during the period after it achieved critical mass but before the great Digg migration. There are differences to be sure, and that is a good thing, but the feeling of intimacy and sense you are interacting with a smaller group that cares about what is being discussed is similar. It is totally fucking refreshing.
I guess I am saying that being ‘ready’ to be the top shitpost destination on the internet isn’t necessarily something to aspire to.
I definitely echo this! Thinking through site philosophy and moderation policy and communicating both clearly while being honest about where the nuance lies takes work, but it is also the secret sauce that makes the community special.
It makes it easy to justify signing up for monthly contributions when resources can be seen mapped against cash burn like this. Thanks!
Interesting stuff. Maybe covered in your earlier video, but what do you see as some of the immediate applications? I know the poultry industry struggles to keep their stock cool during the Summer and this seems like a great potential solution.
It depends on what you want to do and whether you think you'll stick with DIY or not, but I note you say you like to work with wood. In that case you may want to consider saving a bit and investing in a drill/driver combo and a compact circular saw.
With those tools, a solid work surface, a framing square, some clamps, and maybe a jig or two once you get ambitious (don't worry, you'll figure it out), you'd be surprised how much you can build. Lots of us have made the mistake of climbing every rung of the tool ladder and regretting spending a lot of money that we could have avoided just by getting the right tools to start with.
I know you said you are outside of the US, but here is one example from a good brand (at least here, my team Red colleagues will have their own opinions). As you go down in quality the prices get progressively cheaper.
Again, I know it is hard advice when you are not sure how active you'll be at the end of the day, but when it comes to high-use power tools, it is normally a good idea not to go cheap. But before anybody jumps on me -- if you are only going to end up with the odd job here or there and you need to save money, this may be bad advice!
EDIT: someone else mentions a jigsaw. That isn't a bad idea at all depending on what you'll be doing.
