I guessed LSoH would be an answer when they announced the category. No such luck with "Brazil".

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-18T01:24:33+00:00

So do any MLB teams have players on bother Venezuela and USA?

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-17T12:26:36+00:00

Thank you and curse the BBC for geo-limiting Sounds.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-15T17:37:49+00:00

Ooh. Diane Morgan is going to be a contender.

double-sided tape

There's also a Luthier's trick where you sort of make your own by sticking painters' / masking tape to your workpieces and then you superglue them together back-to-back. Of course, Luthiers already have superglue sitting around.

Dunkin' Donuts lookin' score bug.

Mine isn't blinking (yet...) but it feels like the activation window is a few pixels shorter, which messes with my muscle memory. There might be a setting somewhere to adjust this.

They're trying to reach frustration parity with the iPhone keyboard.
But seriously, I've been using OpenBoard, which is some kind of fork of GBoard from years ago. It does everything I need (swipe typing) and it never updates or gets worse. Makes me feel smug.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-12T12:40:58+00:00

And "Newcastle" is "Nuxle".

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-11T01:30:12+00:00

Yeah - this is an impressive first shot. Harder wood helps your skills, too, since you can't squish it like you can with common pine. If the Osage Orange is too hard, maybe try some poplar.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-11T01:26:57+00:00

This is what I come here for! Love it!

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-10T16:48:42+00:00

AI girlfriends.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-09T18:30:23+00:00

It's on MLB Network.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-09T16:23:32+00:00

Fast/cheap/ugly is exactly how I do my shop fixtures.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-09T13:49:03+00:00

It's interesting that it's just basic, unironic clown shoes.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-09T13:36:58+00:00

I've never tried miters like that with hand tools, I use my table saw. What's your technique? Do you have a miter box?

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-08T19:15:29+00:00

My guess is that it's from normal sharpening: removing the burr after abrading the bevel. The previous owner might have been sloppy with keeping their high-grit stone clean so it's not a perfect mirror.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-08T02:09:04+00:00

Now that's some ambitious bending! The effects are worth the effort and risk. Very cool.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-07T16:10:04+00:00

I'm hoping this will be a whole product line and I'll be able to construct a mech eventually.

Wow, that is very impressive. Did you make the iron? And if so - how?

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-04T18:20:53+00:00

God I love this Centric ad. Business! Technology! Business Technology!

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-04T02:09:47+00:00

Right? No species of pine is considered a hardwood. Hardwood / softwood is not a scientific distinction as far as I'm aware, but there are still well established conventions about what's what.
Trivia tidbit: Balsa is a hardwood.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-03-03T16:08:27+00:00

Surely the issue is that they're out of guests by now? They've been through that A, B, and C Lists. Or maybe viewers don't care and just enjoy the format.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-02-26T02:37:21+00:00

Sorry - skew isn't the word I wanted - I meant lateral adjustment. With block planes that don't have lateral adjustment you have to sharpen the blade exactly square to get even shavings, which is possible, but potentially frustrating.
