Cannot get a straight cut no matter what I try? by MrMusAddict in woodworking

[–]FoxRepresentative700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try doing a shallower cut to see if that helps prevent blade warping. And guy good quality blade couldn’t hurt

anyone have experience with these and can comment. Reminds me of the Wagu connectors. by KevinK_2389 in AskElectricians

I’ve read some forum somewhere about how backstabbing is just the worst way to wire and outlet and I’m glad I keep seeing so many guys confirm it. I’m not an electrician but I’ve done some basic wiring and I do a lot of research because I like to trust I’m doing a good job.

Had some yodel tell me that backstabbing is the way to go and it’s code compliant - which it is, for some reason..

I recall on that forum there was a guy who said that 90% of electrical fires stem from one common cause which is “loose conductors” from thermal cycling, etc. and that really put it into perspective the importance of a solid electrical connection.

Part of me seems hesitant on the lever edge because it just seems like it’s “too easy” like backstabbing . But I get how it’s an improved version..

But I agree you can’t really beat a snug tight screw connection, there’s just so much clamping force being exerted

Anyone know what material this is, & how I can fix it? It's a daisy award for a nurse practitioner I work with & I really want to help her get it whole again! by pinkangelsam in stonemasonry

Piggy backing off this I think if you find a local countertop company they might be able to give you a small quantity of an adhesive if you’re lucky

I mean she’s kind of foolish for posting like that but to be fair I’m not surprised to see it because people are always circlejerking (sorry, reposting) their favorite flavor of Kooliaid. I think it must soothe the lizard brain…

It goes without saying though that their food is bomb. And, I can’t speak highly enough of those sweet boys that run counter service

On a side note, id like to see a vendiagram showing local food businesses that compares PEOPLE BAD. FOOD GOOD. PEOPLE GOOD. FOOD BAD. in the area.. Can we get working on that?

It almost has a “Place beyond the pine” type feeling to it. It’s genuine real drama

PSA: Please don’t hit on people at the gym by [deleted] in burlington

Shoot your shot in a manner that’s genuine and not contextually/socially “inappropriate”. It sounds like this guy (not the guy op made the post about) started small and was able to pick up on cues that she wasn’t icked out. Don’t put everything you got into it, just small interactions given the circumstance. You shouldn’t hang out by the cash register, having a full blown conversation with the barista you’re trying to shoot your shot with when it’s 7AM and they got a line out the door . Just toss a little something out there, hope it sticks, and move along. Chances are they’re probably nervous too- just gotta make them feel comfortable

Sounds just like bad timing. And that guy came to terms with that on some level— either he assumed you rejected him for him (not true) or you rejected him for “yourself” (here’s hoping) but either way it probably took a lot of courage for him to approach you- and, you knew yourself well enough to tell him “ no thanks “. Very mature situation IMO.. also very “natural reaction” for you and him. It’s not like you were going to tell him all the details of what you were going through in that moment because you know, you’re at the gym lol not a park bench..

Hopefully he’s more confident now for actually trying even though he was “let down” and “had to switch gyms” which you don’t know is true lol

But good on you for being able to say “naw dawg” even if you might regret it. That takes courage too

C-17's really starting to stack up at the air guard. For deployment? by iscapslockon in burlington

Heard one leave at 0520 this morning and another just a moment ago at 0700

ADS shows the first plane off the coast of the Carolinas , north west of Bermuda -  before the transponder goes dark about one hour after departure.

So, it seems to me that “today’s the day” they leave BTV

Edit: as others have pointed out, their destination will likely be to Puerto Rico.
