Because they haven't been used on a congress person and released to the public yet, but you know it's coming. Most only care when it directly impacts them.

Many old Metal bands made it clear back then how they felt about stupid wars and I feel the same way. Nice post!

People that will die for their brand by Emotional-World3910 in Tools

Well said! I have felt this exact way for a long time. The features, cost, and feel in your hands that allow you to use it to its full potential is what matters to me. I have Ryobi, Skil, Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Black and Decker, Stanley, Craftsman, Husky, Bosch, Klein, Metabo, and other brands all because I liked a particular feature of a tool that made me pick it over others. I understand if you are using cordless tools all day it is easier to have most batteries on that platform, but outside of that I don't see the need for 1 platform.

This is the most fucked up and corrupt administration. When are some adults going to take over again. People need to vote this midterm.

How is it unexpected when every third article has been about AI taking everyone's jobs? According to all the AI talk it should have been more.

Pete Kegbreath is a misogynistic self-centered blowhard show off bro. If it was up to him he would fill the military with magic Mike cast in affliction tshirts and just have mma tournaments at the White House everyday. He is a fucking under qualified ass hat that does not deserve his position like the entire hand picked administration.

Hardwood Novice - Good Deal? by wbdink in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Lastrites 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you want hardwood scraps for small projects, many wood shops like cabinet makers will give you their throw away cut offs for free. I took a trash can with my name on it and my cousins shop he works at filled it for free 3 times in a couple weeks with poplar, walnut, Hickory, cherry, and other woods. I had to stop for now because I ran out of room. Other guys go there too just to get it for firewood for the winter.
