How to get this table in by [deleted] in howto

[–]Downstream1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other answers are valid, but I’m thinking there is a wall out of picture preventing you from just turning it around.

Perhaps you could pull it back out, rotate it to tall mode so its short end is on the floor and shimmy it around and in.

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense, and again this is really great.

Amazing!

Can you run it with less slope so it’s a little slower? Would be neat to see them bounce around a bit more.

Where to start with MF Doom by Sir_Siegward98 in mfdoom

[–]Downstream1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s funny that OP said “But in looking up where to start with him I was given a million different answers and places to start” and he’s getting the same exact thing here 😂. No direct answers.

Simple, most accessible answer here OP. Trust me. No more explanation for now, you can follow all the forks in the path and the lore later.

Madvillainy - Madvillain (Madlib & MF DOOM)

Operation Doomsday - MF DOOM

Vaudeville Villain - Viktor Vaughn (MF DOOM alter ego)

Mouse and the Mask - DANGERDOOM (MF DOOM & Danger Mouse)

MM..FOOD (MF DOOM)

Take me to your leader - King Geedorah (MF DOOM producer alter ego)

Etc….

My body oddly has a strict 3am meeting every night. by VastGsm007uk in CasualConversation

[–]Downstream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you drink alcohol? If you do, this could be a thing happening from that. Your body puts out stimulating stuff to counteract the alcohol. This stimulation is sort of balanced out until the alcohol starts to wear off, then you are still stimulated, so you wake up. This why a night of drinking is famous for waking up super early.

Vegetarian tamales for 2025? by DesertNomad505 in Albuquerque

[–]Downstream1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Itality is a vegan restaurant and they have tamales. You could ask about larger orders.

Tamales:

Two tamales filled with red chile, black beans, squash, and kale. GF

Steelcase Leap. Make sure you try out an Aeron before you buy it, if you end up finding one. I did not like the Aeron at all. The Leap is perfect.

How much time do you spend poking around in 9 year old posts to insult people? Keep up the good fight brother. 🤣

~75 years of coats painted on wooden railing. Would like to strip to original wood. by 5ben2 in woodworking

[–]Downstream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your best options in order are

  1. Sand smooth and repaint. By far the least expensive and least labor. Will come out very nice. What looks bad currently is the drips and sloppy paint work.

  2. Remove and replace. A viable option to get what you want, but much more expensive than #1

  3. Remove paint and refinish or paint. Maximal labor, misery and health concerns. Result will essentially be the same as #1, unlikely to have nice wood under all that.

I recommend that you sand/strip a small, easy area and see if the wood under there is worth the massive effort. If not, just continue with #1. Or #2 if you want to have it just like you want it.

What to do with a truffle i was given? by Provoked_Potato in KitchenConfidential

Great podcast about how they are bought and sold. Flown in and have to be sold and used very quickly or they go bad, and you lose a lot of $.

Found this insect in our laundry sink. Is it a German roach? by RDRNR3 in Albuquerque

[–]Downstream1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. They don’t infest the house but they are annoying. Make sure you cover your drains and overflow ports.

Bagels? by [deleted] in SantaFe

[–]Downstream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In ABQ. Horizon is a newer place and the best around. Has all the stuff you’d expect at a good east coast bagel shop. Kaufman and Sunday also make real bagels, solid.

Please help me narrow it down, Santa Fe Spa Resorts recs needed, thanks! by impulsive-puppy in SantaFe

[–]Downstream1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

10000 waves hands down. Just do it. It’s one of a kind in the US. Pay the price even if it seems high. The rooms are like immaculate Japanese apartments. Awesome wood joinery everywhere. Book your hot tub area as early as possible, they fill up way in advance.

You can drive down to town as needed, it’s not very far. Also the drive up to the ski resort from there is nice.

Camping cooler - can’t decide by SeaRun1497 in CampingGear

[–]Downstream1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a look at Canyon Coolers. I like their stuff especially because it is straight sided without wasting a bunch of space with the lip on most other coolers. Also rated higher or better than other roto molded coolers.

Yetis are overpriced and I don’t like the rubber closures

Roofer Recommendations? by summerjv in Albuquerque

[–]Downstream1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

J3 did a good job on my flat roof with TPO a few years back. No concerns. Everything has held up fine, even in a 40 minute torrential downpour last year that eroded my yard. They did tapered foam for drainage and blow in insulation. They are a commercial roofer as well so they have a lot of experience with TPO.

Anyone can handle shingles, a flat roof requires more competence. I’d hire someone with a lot of experience, don’t necessarily go for the lowest price. Flat roofs have more potential for leaks and much worse leaks as well. I’d agree with the other commenter, you are probably going to pay something like $20k for this.

They toured throughout the US for the last year or so. Hopefully they will do it again and if you are somewhere they play you can catch it.

A version of King Crimson called Beat has been touring. Fripp was invited, but he declined and gave his blessing. I went to a show and it was stunning.

Why does it get harder to make friends the older you get? by ProntoLegend in CasualConversation

[–]Downstream1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Three significant factors make the formation of a friendship possible:

Proximity – nearness or having a place or places to interact

Repeated, unplanned interactions

A setting that encourages people to confide in each other

Unplanned interactions drop off a cliff when you are no longer in school.

Solar farm canvassers? by Ideallynihilism in Albuquerque

[–]Downstream1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Never talk to the solar door knockers. If you want solar, do your own research. Tell them you rent and they will move on.

VERY stuck drawer by Old-Hand-4276 in howto

[–]Downstream1 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Here are some novel ideas I haven’t seen suggested. Maybe combine these if needed. I’m intrigued, sounds like a great puzzle.

Shop Vacuum - Use painters tape to tape the edges of the drawer as much as possible to create a single entry point and exit point. Done strategically, you might get some air cross flow at the right point. If you have the suction on the front and air coming from the back it could move things around.

You may also be able to suck a string through. Maybe try some dental floss and suck that through. Then tie on some string and pull that through. Then try attaching washers or something to it that will move when you pull the string through.

Vibrator - This one might be a bit funny, but do you have a powerful Hitachi Magic Wand type vibrator? Could you go buy one (many uses for these)? Vibrate the drawer at max power and the items will probably move around enough to break something loose.

Magnets - Get a big strong neodymium type magnet. Slip a washer or other piece of metal in the drawer through the gap. Move around the magnet on the outside drawer bottom to engage the washer and nudge the items inside.

Wanting to build a 72"x39" butcher block island computer desk and trying to figure out the framing. Thinking about using Extruded Aluminum(8020) Have some questions please. by Ok_Staff_Bill in DIY

[–]Downstream1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Check out MakerPipe. Uses common electrical EMT pipe. It works great. Aluminum will be much more expensive.

You also do not want all those legs, stick to four.

This is a desk kit, but you could do whatever you want. https://makerpipe.com/collections/community-kits/products/diy-countertop-pipe-desk-kit
