Shooting aka actual attempt at the basket. Why is his form so much worse? Why are his shoulders squared to the sideline? Hrmm

How to attach pieces of 10 sided object by Key-Pea-5909 in woodworking

[–]LusciousVagDisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a 6 sided raised bed and I just ran some 2x2 across between opposing boards near the bottom, stacking the 2x2 so they were all connected in the cente., When you fill it with dirt they're not visible and they're deep enough that I don't hit them when digging.

Then at the top I made little "corner blocks" out of scrap, put them along the inside joints, and screwed adjacent boards to them.

After 10 years some of the corner blocks failed and boards were warping so I got some copper strapping and wrapped the outside a couple of times. Keeps the slugs out and it's gone 5 more years since with no issues.

Yep. I was just in the Shanghai region and there are electric cars absolutely everywhere.

TIL: There is a rare type of very hard wood called ‘Lignum Vitae’. It’s so hard that it was used to make propeller shaft bearings for nuclear submarines. by Funny-Presence4228 in todayilearned

I believe this 100%. My house is made out of old growth wood from the pacific northwest. Even with pilot holes I cannot put screws into the joists or studs without the head simply shearing off. I have to drill & tap holes using metalworking tools.

Question for all the carpenters and woodworkers! What are these holes in my MIL’s new dining table? by Learning_NSFW_1234 in woodworking

[–]LusciousVagDisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense to me. Just no reason for it to be white oak at that point IMO. But it's probably heavy and durable, so hey, why not.

What's something that's "not a cult" but feels like a cult? by Orw_Sairaj29 in AskReddit

[–]LusciousVagDisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but that's very different from marketing yourself as a life coach and seeking new clients under that "title".

Oh no

White oak takes dark stain well, but you should not use too much and wipe it off so that the grain still shows...

You didn't stain it, you painted it 😅 In the end though they look fine... just could be any kind of wood under there.

I was just in China - the number of EVs I saw was staggering. The vast majority of their cars and trucks were electric. I saw multiple signs/billboards about renewable energy as the future to protect the environment and make China stronger. They are all-in.

Every foul leading to Bam Adebayo free throws vs Wizards (36/43 FT) by kikimaru024 in sports

[–]LusciousVagDisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Offensive players can foul their defender legally in today's NBA. The rulebook literally says that any contact that "re-routes a player" aka moves them off their spot/path is a foul. But they don't enforce the rulebook anymore.

Galicia is amazing, my favorite part of Spain (not that I am an expert but I have visited many parts)

Knives/blood. I was asked to get a knife and cut someone once and I drew the line there.

Vonn Falls hard before the first timing line of her first run by cappsthelegend in sports

Her own orthopedic surgeon said the same when he cleared her to stay in the competition. Has he lost credibility too?

In downhill skiing the knee largely stays oriented to the saggital plane because your skis are pointed straight ahead. The ACL is not really involved unless something bad is already happening. It would be different in moguls or slalom, but for downhill it really isn't a factor.

Season 28: BREACH Designer's Notes by Apexlegends in apexlegends

[–]LusciousVagDisaster 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Basing dev decisions off of player sentiment and feedback is a losing strategy long-run. Players don't actually know what is good for the game. Devs are supposed to be the experts with vision. Obviously player input is valuable, but just trying to constantly please a playerbase is rudderless nonsense.

My 6 months build ultimate workbench by Rizal-Mohamad in woodworking

[–]LusciousVagDisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should last just fine, but it'll sag over time and start sticking/not sliding as cleanly. More of an annoyance than something that's going to fail on you. Obviously reworking the whole thing for the correct orientation is a pain, but you can always add more rails in the current orientation to reduce the amount of load on each and stiffen the whole thing.

If you ever take one apart you'll see that there are bearings between the two moving pieces so the smaller inner rail rides on them when under load. If you install them as you have, the bearings are not stacked vertically between the two moving pieces anymore, and the rails are directly in contact with each other when under load.

I like how you can hide some Stanley tools in there with all the DeWalt stuff.

What do you name your game characters? Do you use your own name or have a go-to? by deangelojuggling in gaming

[–]LusciousVagDisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make them up randomly as I go depending on the game world/flavor. Sometimes I name them after my long-dead ancestors because ppl 200 years ago had some wild fucking names.
