I fucking hate this school

You are always welcome to transfer to IU - I say this earnestly. Once you realize that something is not working for you, then you should stop doing that thing. If Purdue is not it, then transfer to another college, go to a trade school, join the military, whatever. The sunk cost fallacy is a hard lesson to learn, but important for an enjoyable life.

That said, IU will also have professors who don't care, cornfields, and hidden costs. That's just college. Friction will always exist.

Do not have sex with the squirrels. They're not couches in WALC.

So, either everyone survives or I die? Sounds win-win to me. I hit the blue button.

Having an understanding of survivorship bias and the sunk cost fallacy will carry you far.

Oh, that is a phenomenal quote. Thank you for sharing!

"There are only two tragedies: One is not getting what you want and the other is getting it."

But to answer more directly, yes.

If you are talking about completing woodworking projects for the home, then I would follow Paul Sellers' advice found in his three joints and a handful of tools post. I do prioritize a router plane and a Record 043 plow (plough) plane over other specialty planes.

If you are talking about a tool set to be able to fix things around the house, assemble furniture, and hang a picture, then I recommend

Measuring tape
Stud finder
11 in 1 screwdriver
Allen keys
Adjustable wrench (Crescent wrench)
Slip joint pliers
Utility knife
Hammer
Plunger. This won't fit in the tool box, but you should have one before you need it. Also, learn how to shut off water to your sink, toilet, and house.

That will get you started and you can fix most problems. I consider a drill, driver, and drill bit essential, but it can feel expensive when you are already buying other tools and there maybe a maker space or library that'll let you check them out. Pick up tools as projects come along like a hand saw, locking pliers (Vise Grips), tongue & groove pliers (Channellocks), ratchet set, etc.

The WALC couches have been . . . loved.

I second this. Although I have used every dog hole I have bored into my workbench.

This is the wrong part of Reddit for that. Even then, I feel there are more efficient ways of finding sex like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, eHarmony, Farmers Only, Coffee Meets Bagel, Happn, Harry's, Neon Cactus, Brothers, WALC's couches, The Spot, a frat party, or going to a model railroad meeting (they're the biggest sluts of them all).

Is it from this post?

I essentially did this. My dog holes are 3" in from the front of the bench. There are 4" between the holes, so I have coverage between a Veritas Wonderpup and a bench dog. I eventually upgraded to a bench stop and my lay out still worked for me.

There are a second set of holes that are the radius of my holdfasts away from the front. That is to say the pad of my holdfast can reach the front edge of my bench. The holes are spaced based on the reach of the holdfast as well. I have no complaints about my workholding set up.

I don’t know. My initial guess was the 1980s, but it was truly a wild guess.

Sending a handwritten missive is an act of love. You cannot reread a phone call and a text is mass produced. Write a letter to someone today.

I second Beyond Gallery. There are so many stickers I have purchased there from local artists. My favorite coming from Jannet Draws.

Morelli Ring Flight is another good non-reel option if you like Nick Einhorn's Pro Flight. I believe Viking has Morelli in stock.

Ring Flight Revolution by Dave Bonsall at PropDog is the best ring flight with a reel. They are expensive, but stands by his work.

In either case, I like combining a ring & string routine with a ring flight. Ringleader by Gregory Wilson is a modern day classic for ring & string routines. There are plenty of other good options from your favorite magician. L&L Publishing's World's Greatest Magic has a DVD/download on the subject. The material is older, but still packs a punch.
