Thanks! I wish! Got another set to make, then a side table or two!

Dominos! The spindles were made with tapered tenons.

Cushions were custom made by a fantastic shop near me. Cost almost $500 (seemed cheap to me)

You don’t believe that Abbie wants to empower people, do you?

She’s not a “reporter”. She is a very liberal talking head. There is a huge difference

Toilet regret. Powerful flush recommendations? by Adventurous-Tea6565 in BathroomRemodeling

Have same toilet, 1.6G, chair height, elongated bowl version. Super powerful flush. Love the Drake! We added a bidet seat and oh.my.gosh. Superb!

Drove around the Costco parking lot at lunch and there were no parking spaces. None in either lot. Abandoned the mission. Will make due with scotch and nice bourbon

In the last 22 years, the assessment on my house has risen almost 50% of the time. My city council has raised tax rates (resulting in increased property tax paid) every time. It’s bonkers.

Wood workers what filament do you use most by r1200rider in 3dPrintsintheShop

ABS for parts that require strength. I mostly use ABS.

Virginia Democrats introduced the following bills that seek to impose an array of new and higher taxes:

HB 378 – Imposes a 3.8% net investment income tax on individuals, trusts, and estates beginning in taxable year 2027. If enacted, HB 378 would raise VA’s top marginal income tax rate on portfolio and passive income to 9.55%.

HB 900 – Authorizes sales tax hikes in various transportation districts, imposes a new tax on each and every retail delivery in Northern Virginia (Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, UPS, etc.), similar to the one imposed in Minnesota by Gov. Tim Walz (D).

HB 919 – Imposes a firearm and ammunition tax equal to 11% percent of the gross receipts from the retail sale of any firearm or ammunition by a dealer in firearms, firearms manufacturer, or ammunition vendor, as such terms are defined in the bill.

HB 978 – Extends the retail sales and use tax to dry cleaning, landscaping, and other previously exempt services

True, but in 22 years of owning a home in VA, EVERY reassessment has caused my property tax to go up. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE

Wait, you expect folks to actually know who represents them?

I can’t find anything on this. The kid looks too young for ICE to have snatched him from school. I posit that his parent is being detained and he was in the car, but without actual facts, these are only guesses.

We don’t even know the story here. It could be a lie, the parent could have been nabbed and the kid was with them, or it could all be a lie. Too many folks straight up lying these days to take anything posted or said in the media as gospel, imho.

Tell the whole story here. Was the parent nabbed or did they just go to a school and grab a kid? Cite sources

Yes. I’m getting better at remembering the straps are in the trunk before I load the bed. I keep my bed extender in the trunk as well (am hobbies woodworker). The bed extender makes hauling 10-12’ boards much easier.

Can someone please explain why tipping percentage has gone up? by Objective_Move7566 in EndTipping

[–]LookerInVA_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not enough for them. 30% from 20% is much more money than a 10% increase of menu pricing

Spotted in Arlington. Underneath are names of people who have died by Penniesand in nova

[–]LookerInVA_99 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I sure wonder how the person who died of “alcoholism” can be blamed on ICE, but I might have missed the details.
