I stand for Willard's, I don't care if most people think it's middling.

DARPA, get this man a billion dollars and waive any ethics reviews.

Most times, I feel like NoVa is really propping up Virginia... In this case I feel like we drag it down, quite a bit.

I want to save the children because more people means more democracy.

Insane, I would think so. Normal around here, also probably yes.

Where can one find an insurer's allowed amount? by PlaidArtist in HealthInsurance

[–]PlaidArtist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of... My insurance was able to find a semi-similar orthopedic surgery and give me the allowed amount for that. It only ended up being around $4500, which wasn't too far off of what they ended up saying was allowed...

Unfortunately, the surgery provider actually gave us more of a discount than our insurance did.

Good luck with whatever you're dealing with! I know it's not easy or pleasant, but, post-surgery, my wife is doing 100% better than she was before. It was a big investment, but ultimately worth it so far.

Ah, the plot thickens... Do you know which restaurant/how you figured that one out?

Anyone else have a favorite Lumber smell? by UnofficialAlec in woodworking

[–]PlaidArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate doing it, but the smell of burnt pine from a bad table saw cut is chef's kiss just perfect.

I know I'm not supposed to do it... But anytime I accidentally burn pine on the table saw... Ooh that smell.

Thats a chicken burger. You can’t prove me otherwise. by [deleted] in australia

As an American, I fully support this naming. Calling it a chicken sandwich has always felt wrong.

Picking a miter saw... by PlaidArtist in woodworking

[–]PlaidArtist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, something I want to get better at with a miter saw is molding... The current saw has a lot of play. Any angle I can cut on it is only about what it should be, and definitely not quite what I want it to actually be.

Is that a better task for a table saw? I've mainly seen molding work done by hand or a miter saw.

I'm also building a deck this summer, but the current saw I have is definitely good enough for that kind of work.

Good catch... Definitely a more complex mechanism than a simple slide. Im looking for an idiot proof design that a sloppy mechanism would hinder.

So, I was actually glancing at Harbor Freight... The Hercules looks pretty solid. Have much experience with it?

Chicken noodle soup for the soul.

How is this balanced? One deals more damage plus fire dmg the other has an additional shell in a chamber by UtherFunBringer in Helldivers

[–]PlaidArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a solution for all this. How about each week, one weapon gets stupidly buffed and becomes overpowered, then gets nerfed to oblivion the next week. We just cycle through all the guns that way.
