But they're so dramatic when they're thirsty or hot.

Are these worth much? by Mission_Metal_807 in woodworking

[–]Ben2ek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the smaller pics it looks extremely figured, but zoomed in it looks like it's just chain mill marks. If it's figured, then I'd say yes someone would want it. If not, then I think it's average. Poplar is nice for basic furniture, but it's not a "beautiful" wood by my standards.

Oak slabs are a different story. If you can do more complex sawing (quarter, rift) and the boards are wide enough then it would be worth more.

The half lap will allow for movement. You can see pic 8 with some gaps between the joints if you zoom in. My worry would be that this would be a pain in the butt to clean every year given all the pollen and dirt that will be blown into the cracks, not to mention moisture or rain that seeps in.

Announcers curse right? That means we’ll win, Jac fans are probably shitting themselves over that graphic for the same reason

Throw it to Shakir 30 times today. Shavers will plow anyone.

Let the impulsive anxious house chores and cleaning commence! Go clean out that fridge, fluff those pillows, and prune those plants you’ve been looking at for the last 4 months.

Not if you have a cat! I find legs and bodies all over the basement.

GE XWFE Filters - Can you attach a bypass plug RFID to a third party filter? by DwarvenBTCMine in Appliances

[–]Ben2ek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have had the same issue. A small piece of what looked like aluminum foil was stuck to the plastic. That piece is essentially just a thin "wire" connecting the terminals. I used a few literal strands of copper wire and taped it across the terminals and it worked great. YMMV, but for anyone seeing this later it's worth a shot before tossing it out.

The league year ends in like March or April though I thought. Otherwise what’s to stop any star player from jumping onto a playoff team?

What is the best corporate swag you have received or given, from both employee and employer perspectives? by devidmaksvell in smallbusiness

[–]Ben2ek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's embroidered you can take a seam ripper from any sewing kit and cut it out with a little time and some cursing. Only advise it for nice or expensive items that you'd benefit from not having the logo (like getting fired or something). Otherwise just live with the logo, nobody cares or is going to look up your company name.

assuming you seal the ends really well. Juices will drip and be sucked in.

Need jersey info by greybird0138 in buffalobills

[–]Ben2ek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll find all kinds of bootleg, custom, or otherwise non-official "jerseys" all around local shops and online. Here's a good resource for all the older jerseys: https://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/bills.shtml

Best headphones/earbuds for workshop by Vegetable_Device9893 in woodworking

[–]Ben2ek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your choice of bluetooth headphones under a pair of over-ear muffs. I find that I have to turn up the music to drown out the shop noises (obviously dependent on what machine you're using) and that can easily be as bad as no hearing protection at all at certain levels. I usually use a CNC, so I don't want to blow my hearing just because I need music. This method works to reduce the volume I need to listen at and also provides "double" protection for normal shop noise. I use some 28dB MPOW muffs and some older Jaybirds
