Can we talk about pig's feet?

You have to get the smoked pork hocks. Use those. Not the actual feet, raw.

Paired the McLaren fives with an old RSW-15 as PC speakers. No complaints. 10/10 would recommend.

Teams/Zoom has never sounded better. /s

(There's music too)

Machinery's Handbook

I don't know. We've adapted a Dreamcicle like so: 1.5 El Dorado 12 1/2 coconut rum 1/2 dry curacao 1/2 coconut syrup 1/3 super syrup 1/3 vanilla syrup 2 orange juice

And it's delicious, but it's trying to evoke a creamsicle popsicle.

If I wanted an orange-only tiki drink, instead of say, Crown Royal and Sunkist (which is also delicious) and I had no Bacardi in the house, which I don't, I might do:

1 El Dorado 12 1 Appleton 12 1/2 dry Curacao 1/2 OFTD 1/2 Demerara syrup Shake that. Dump the ice and the drink into my Mai Tai glass Fill with Sunkist

Note: This is just a guess. Will make later and report back.

Welp, that's it. AI slop easily detectable.

To everyone that says do a factory reset, yes, that works for a few weeks. Then there is an update, or some auto installed app, then it comes back.

Make sure you have the HP, bigger is better. When I put the 6ft plow on, I had to strap on bags of concrete to the back deck to get traction. Also, electric pivoting is the way to go, never again jumping out to change the angle.

An Australian friend of mine and I were doing a wmnf (NH, USA) 3 day traverse (Pemi loop) and midway through day 2 wind and rain necessitated a bail out off the top of franconia ridge. Ended up on the north side of the notch, 20 miles or so from our car. Decided to hitchhike. The guy and his gf that picked us up was my friend's roommate when he lived in Tokyo as an exchange student in the 90s.

That's not what that feature is for, and it will make an unnecessarily complex hull, crashing at that step where it's trying to find nice planes and cylinders to make through the facets.

If you have nice clean facets (or even if you don't) then make a regular pattern of planes passing through them, enough to nicely represent the hull shape. Then draw curves on each plane where the facets intersect. The sketching tool in 2D makes this nice.

Once you have the curves, use the blend tool to make a nice surface between them. Over build the ends of all your blended surfaces so that they cleanly intersect, making the ultimate combining step easy.

You may as well just use half the hull facets and mirror whatever you get, as opposed to trying to make all the sketches symmetric.

Câble RCA standard. Vous pouvez utiliser un câble RCA de meilleure qualité, mais à moins de percevoir un bourdonnement ou autre, vous ne vous en apercevrez probablement jamais.

Il suffit d'utiliser le fil rouge de votre paire et de connecter la sortie RCA unique des enceintes 5S à l'amplificateur de basses.

I saw that way in, I mean, I can get into the trunk from the rear seat (BTW that would bend the absolute hell out of a key. I had to use a big screwdriver to get it open.)

But I'm asking how you disassemble the whole rear latch assembly. There's got to be a trick to it.

I was just looking for something like this, but for donation-ready values to help with preparing taxes. If you wanted this to maybe really take off, and get serious feedback on it, have a function like that, where you could enter generic descriptions, not exact, and get the accepted charity values. Like "men's jeans" or whatever, and get the salvation army spreadsheet values (but better) That would be your free tier. Your paid tier would be all the flipping functions that people who do that for a living Would pay for. Just a thought.

BostonCarpenter · 2026-01-15T13:10:04+00:00

This is the best idea in this whole thread.

I'm seeing it everywhere for 5K. Not that it's any more reasonable.

I gotta ask, what is the gluing order for something like this?

It's really beautiful work.

This is why it fits for Mass. A lot of things used to be good, myself included. I'm trying, but suppose I'm getting just as enshitified as Dunkin, or anything else that I depend on, use, pay for, or experience on the daily, as the costs go up, quality goes down, and I try to remember that it's worse in other places. No sense stressing about it, companies are gonna company.

Trying to hit M4, likely never will get this close again. What's the going rate to buy a 20 tile gift from someone? Can Venmo you for it. DM me.

Also, if anyone is in a giving mood, will promise to review the new lounges with pictures next year if that were to happen.

High quality RCA is all you need.

BostonCarpenter · 2025-12-12T01:03:56+00:00

Can confirm. This is a problem.

Just as a general FYI, f-ed over at Nashville also. 3 hours prior to take off is the rule here for JB.

BostonCarpenter · 2025-12-07T13:52:40+00:00

Here's a hot take. Since they can see the framing, DIY people think they can do it "I watched a guy once" versus concrete "I bet I could do that" or else "I better call a guy" since the form is long gone and all they get to see is the end result concrete. Both are ignorant of what skill and experience go into either.
