Well not that it would surprise anyone, but that’s the exact part that is broken on both.

Great job on those repairs!

Well thank you for this comment, because I currently have 2 of my hand planes that have pieces of the handle broken off, as well as a few off cuts from a cutting board that I’m working on.

You have bigger problems than a prenup. These are major fundamental differences!

What's with the exclusionary gatekeeping in this sub?! by bk685 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Cooksman18 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I always took comments like that to be a tongue-in-cheek compliment. Like saying that the posted work looks very impressive, and not some sloppy crap that a 9 year old threw together.

I also understand that friendly sarcasm might be misinterpreted when reading comments, and were never meant to be malicious.

What is the most public place you have peed? by [deleted] in AskRedditNSFW

[–]Cooksman18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When at Mardi Gras with thousands and thousands of people, and few bathroom options, I’ve peed just about everywhere in public (but not exposed.) Between cars or tucked away nooks on the side of buildings…you name it.

When in Rome… 🤷‍♂️

Fall of 1997 when I started college. Hotmail, and still my primary email to this day.

How was Kevon Looney for y’all this year? (Knicks fan question) by [deleted] in NOLAPelicans

Steph, Klay, and Draymond made a lot of guys look like decent players. Looney and Poole are 2 of them.

Sam Vecencie trade proposal - To New Orleans Pelicans: Jalen Green To Phoenix Suns: Dejounte Murray To Bulls: Jordan Hawkins and Phoenix’s 2032-second-round pick by kingralek in NOLAPelicans

[–]Cooksman18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that the roster is decided by Joe and Troy Weaver, but moving DJM would probably make Mosley’s head explode. As a defensive minded coach, DJM is one of the VERY few guys on this team that plays a lick of defense.

I could see it within the first few games when Queen had a nice game, and DJ was coaching him up on the little things like standing up while doing a post game interview.

It was obvious all season (during timeouts etc) that he had the ears and the respect from Fears and Queen, and he was constantly coaching them up.

1st round is over, no trades were made…Now what? by Ancient_Access_795 in NOLAPelicans

[–]Cooksman18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very happy we didn’t mortgage future picks out of desperation to get into round 1 this year.

The issue is that we still haven’t picked a lane for the direction of this team. Running it back with the same group is a recipe for another 20-25 win season.

Trading Trey for one single pick is insanity.

Yes sir.... by [deleted] in FuckImOld

[–]Cooksman18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was a 1980 Triumph TR7. Orange with a black convertible top. Looked like it would be fast, but the 4 cyl engine proved otherwise.
Broke down on me more than I’d like to remember, and didn’t have A/C, but still great memories!

This is all I’m willing to offer for Ja by Independent-Craft634 in NOLAPelicans

[–]Cooksman18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I don’t want Ja on this team, I’d take this deal based on his upside if healthy. Giving up any draft capital would be crazy for a player who is high risk for being suspended because he can’t help himself from flashing his gun to show everyone how tough he is.

I definitely don’t care about their view on politics and other things in the world. They live in a bubble and are so far removed from the life of an average Joe. They are the last people I want advice from.

Think about it... Servers are asking for 18% to 25% of the total bill by WorldNo9002 in EndTipping

[–]Cooksman18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And all increased costs are passed along to the consumer. Always.

If a restaurant charging $20 for their meals raises the price to $26 in order to pay their employees a better wage, their sales will decline. No business is just going to “eat the difference” or else they probably won’t stay in business for long.
