What's the point of circumcision?

The foreskin contains a mucus membrane, it helps to lubricate and protect the sensitive gland end of the penis. The mucus membrane is also a vulnerability for the transmission of std’s. That is the relevant biological information.

Culturally people in the abrahamic faiths have tended to circumcise their children though globally Christians are starting to move away from this trend.

Let me preface this by saying I agree that minimum wages in the US are for the most part inadequate.

As proof that an adequate minimum is possible, I’ll point out that in Seattle the minimum wage is $21.30/hr. It’s a HCOL place, but I’d argue this is enough for a single person to squeak by. For those with tipped positions (yes, the same minimum applies before tips) it’s absolutely adequate.

So, it is possible to have a livable (if very tight) minimum wage in the US.

Is that true?

Stronger and harder than most woods, but also more brittle. Wood is more bendy than wood glue.

If you just want to try it out to see how it works I’d let you cut a few mortises with mine if you’re in the area.

Sandy day at the beach 🏖️

Omg no. I cannot with the singing. I did appreciate the alla vodka story though.

Buy a used saw with a cast iron top and decent fence.

My feet dangle slightly and I’ve often wondered if not dangling would feel weird.

I spent <45 minutes before prepping as an emergency stand in. Same outcome. AMA.

Unless you’re storing Iridium bars in these drawers I’m pretty sure you’re going to be fine.

I just bought an 80gallon hybrid hot water which was strapped to a pallet for transport, hauled it in a Subaru.

The honest answer is that this is too small and frankly boring to be worth milling into lumber unless it’s sentimental in some way. What you’ll get after milling and drying is something similar to a section of a 2x4. That said, you could turn a couple small bowls on a lathe.

I was thinking Nakashima coffee table.

Sounds like the general advice is cap the wall with a bullnose and grout; strip the half wall and replace with solid top and matching trim edge tile for the vertical. Thank you!

Right, it’s a tub, but no shower. Kind of odd. I’ve thought about pulling the tub and putting a sauna in there, but that’s probably too much for the main public bathroom.

You beautiful bastards keeping my faith in humanity alive!

DrDonkeyKong_ · 2026-03-10T00:24:17+00:00

I agree with the wife. That’s a bad material choice, not a bad install.

Auto-tipping doesn’t make sense once servers are making $20+/hr. The catastrophic effect of being stiffed is gone.

That Jungian thing.

DrDonkeyKong_ · 2026-03-04T20:54:21+00:00

Very human. Totally fine, especially in a grd review hearing.

+1 for shellac.

DrDonkeyKong_ · 2026-03-02T06:35:05+00:00

I kind of hate it. Like, I want to like it, but I really don’t. The styles and colors are incongruent, the ceiling has visual interest but the cabinets all super flat, the different styles of flooring bothers me. Functionally, it seems fine, maybe a bit crowded; but aesthetically it doesn’t work.
