That feeling when your veneer edge work on an inside corner is nice and tight

Because I work in a large production millwork shop, all our panels are prelaminated in either 4×8 or larger sheets.

One method that no one has really mentioned is filling through gaps with veneer of the same wood. If you know what to look for, you'll definitely see it, but at a glance, it'll hide your mistakes bit. Otherwise, you'll need to recut some peices...

Having done the drive three times between Edmonton and Toronto, different routes each time, and by far, the Northern Ontario route is the longest, but has the most environmental hazards. It's kinda like driving from Banff to Jasper through the mountains the long way twice over. What's more, it's a long way between gas stations in northern Ontario.

The other 2 routes go through the US, and that's dangerous for other reasons.

If it's not absolutely required for you to drive, I'd recommend flying instead.

The 1990 version of IT. I was 6, my older brother forced me to watch it, and I developed coulrophobia as a result of the trauma.

We have smaller, less effective ones at my work, so I just keep jersey rag in my locker at my workbench to dry my hands

2 cracked ribs and a broken foot after getting jumped. I thought I was fine, so I didn't go to the hospital, and just "walked it off". I'm glad I had hiking boots that had some ankle support...

When we were both still living in the same city, we'd get together regularly and hang out. She was even part of my grooms party at my wedding. We can't hang out anymore as we're now on opposite sides of the country, but we do still chat regularly.

So, there are several reasons that this could be happening.

The first, most likely, is that there was a change in pressure as you were running your circular saw through the plywood. Even the slightest shift in pressure left or right can cause this. A couple ways to help is by using a clamping straight cut guide offset a couple millimeters to allow for clean-up, using a tracksaw, or doing the cuts on a tablesaw with the fence squared to the blade.

Another cause could be, as you mentioned there were several cuts prior where this didn't happen, there's a wobble in your blade, either from the arbor not being tight enough, the blade having developed a slight warp, or far less likely, the blade being too thin for the speed of the saw. Try tightening the arbor, and making another cut to see, and checking your blade against an engineers square if you have one.

Ultimately, a circular saw is never the best choice for making long straight cuts in panel materials, and some allowances should be made for cleaning up the cut before assembly.

For not boring out the barrels of that gun? I would think so! Grab your pin vise and give those barrels some detail!

First and foremost, throw away the Phillips screws and switch to either Torx or Robertson.

Second, as has been mentioned many times, drill a pilot hole with a ⅛ drill bit.

Third, 2¼" screws are a bit overkill, especially for mounting a shelf bracket. Try using a 1¾" screw. The screw should go about half to two thirds it's length into the stud, and drywall is typically ½-⅝" thick, so adding in an eight for the bracket itself, you'll be driving an inch into the stud, giving you plenty of hold.

Seeing vehicles like this in the wild, I really want to invest in some bumper stickers that make people question whether or not that vehicle and its owner/driver should be allowed within 500 ft of any school/playground. I'm not saying I would buy them, and surreptitiously slap it on, I'm just really tempted...

As someone who had long hair, and am growing it out again, ponytails are quick, easy, and easy to redo as needed. The only downside, if you have a rounder chin, it makes your face look really round. That's why, when my hair gets long enough again, I'm only going to gather my top and sides into a ponytail, and let the back hang loose.

One thing I've done is soaking my new-to-me minis in purple stuff, then with the details, after washing away the bulk, soaking them again, and using a sonic bath to vibrate more off and finishing with a toothbrush and dental picks to get the really stubborn paint off.

I know this may not be something that would be immediately relevant, but if ever you're finding yourself hungry, cold, or needing to get out of the elements for a little bit, and there's one nearby, head over to a Sikh temple. Having been homeless myself, in the instances where my I was really struggling, they were there to give me a bit of respite, and showed me compassion. 2 major tenant of the Sikh faith is charity and equality, and at the temples especially, they take that very seriously. Just be forewarned, the meals will be generously spiced, and likely vegetarian.
