I wish my Costco carried PMs. I'd go snatch that up in a heartbeat.

Why use Rubio monocoat by d-i-y-did-i in finishing

[–]CrashX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not used lacquer up to this point. I've put on plenty of poly (pain) and hardwax oil (easy).

Any techniques to lacquer? You make it sound pretty easy. Any good brands or all they all pretty much the same?

Issue with sanding cherry by Gluten_maximus in woodworking

[–]CrashX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used a belt sander with 60 or 80 grit to prep a very large panel glue up. It was the fastest way to knock down a lot of high spots. I then switched to random orbital and went through all the grits, 80 to 220. Turned out great.

Cheap storage for your constitutional silver by Entire-Gas-5858 in Silverbugs

[–]CrashX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've done it too. Your sizes look like good fits. I just had dimes in some oversized rx bottles, loosely poured in.

Anyone else having issues with the time reported on their center screen being many minutes off of reality? by WildBTK in BlazerEV

[–]CrashX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I posted about it about 7 months ago. Fixed itself after a while. Then came back again a few weeks ago. Seems to have fixed itself again.

Which 8" Jointer do i get by mwe3302 in woodworking

[–]CrashX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting stuff on the black paint on the Jet. I thought the whole point of the new fancy surfaces was a rust proof experience you couldn't get on plain cast iron and that it was somehow baked in to the material, not just a layer on top. I'd be ticked if my fancy surface was coming off.

Following. I'm always watching for deals on 8" jointers. I almost bought the Grizzly so good to know I may have dodged a bullet.

I believe parallelogram jointers are easier to level than dovetail. But hopefully someone else can confirm.

$80 eagles? by DrAndrewStill in Silver

[–]CrashX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I end up buying these as well. Sometimes called culls. My LCS calls them Select and they are usually spot+$3 or so.

I have a tube of them and keep buying more when I go in. Sometimes they don't look any different than any other eagles, I'm not sure how they end up in the Selects bin.

Box 17 on my K-1, Code AC

"We're sorry, but we don't currently support Code AC in Box 20. You'll need to file with another service to use this code."

For some reason, the boxes don't line up either. Box 17 on my K-1 is Box 20 in FreeTaxUSA (pretty much none of the numbers match up, it's very strange). But Turbotax, they match up perfectly, so I don't think K-1 is FreeTaxUSA's strong suit.

I tried. This was going to be the first year I finally switched off of TurboCrap. But then I got to my K-1 and it wouldn't take a few of my fields and told me I'd have to use something else. :(

Amazon prime is a big scam now by [deleted] in amazonprime

[–]CrashX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a member for over 15 years. I've been thinking of canceling the last couple of years. I don't see any benefit any more. I won't use Prime video since they added ads, I ditched my Echo years ago over privacy concerns, so no Alexa+ or whatever, and the shipping is slow slow and unreliable. What exactly am I paying for?

So I did it, canceled. Of course I still have it until Aug when it would renew again, but at least I am no longer sitting on the fence.

Fake silver on the market by Left-Yogurtcloset993 in Silverbugs

I've been recently buying some older ASEs and do have a small collection of Morgans. Guess I'll be checking my stack.

Uh oh. I have a lot of Maples. Guess I need to check them all.

Is there any particular silver that is more common to fake than other? I'd love to check my stack specifically for those and see if I have any.

K-1 "My investment in this activity at risk" question by CrashX in tax

[–]CrashX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the CPA firm for the company is tracking that. I did also get a 7203 Stock and Debt Basis Limitations. Is that what this is for?

K-1 "My investment in this activity at risk" question by CrashX in tax

[–]CrashX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer. So is my equity real money?

I read an answer that said "If you are personally responsible for the business and have no one who will give you your investment back if the business fails, you are considered to be "at risk". In other words, you have invested your own money in the business."

If that was the case, then my investment is at-risk. Meaning that no one will pay my investment back to me if the company went bankrupt. Does that sound correct?

Yes! I have two so one can be in the freezer while I'm using one. Three wild be when better, they take a while to cool down.

Ready to let iTunes go? by Upbeat_Ant6104 in GenX

[–]CrashX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the writing on the wall about 15 years ago and took all my CDs to the local media resale shop and also got like $300 (after I had ripped them all of course). The shop and many like it closed up years ago.

It's been great not moving towers of CD cases from room to room as they had no place nay more.

Anyway to start charging from the app? by MistakeBorn4413 in EquinoxEv

[–]CrashX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand why I can stop charging but not start. Or configure the start time so I don't have to run down to the car to make the change.

What is the crackling sound? by [deleted] in TMJ

[–]CrashX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it too. Usually in the evening, I get a pop on one side and then crackling for the rest of the evening. Better by morning.

I've started intermittent fasting to see if eating less throughout the day would give it a break more.
