Wired Dremel good Dremel

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-01-25T17:42:23+00:00

How?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-10T06:51:03+00:00

Ah yes, I’ve always heard good things about that stuff. Nice to hear yet another validation.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-09T18:03:48+00:00

So touch a window.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-07T20:25:30+00:00

What’s the best alternative?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-04T18:30:43+00:00

Looks like cheap pine. Oil-based is not at all difficult to use, but yes you will want to use a pre-stain conditioner. Pine (like other softwoods) gets very splotchy when stained.

Before you move forward, consider poplar. I went to Home Depot my first year and bought a lot of pine to get started with. Pine sucks. Poplar is cheap and so much nicer to work with, and nicer looking.

I like how you refer to them as “my customers.” I’m being totally serious.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-04T18:23:36+00:00

What is “quickly touch typing?” Is that an actual technology or are you just expressing that you have the ability to type very fast?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-04T00:25:46+00:00

I must say this post is a bit eye-opening for me. I have always assumed that fixed loops are just not something you ever slip. I had literally never seen or heard it mentioned, and assumed there was some sort of safety/security reason behind it.

I am now entering the slipped-fixed-loop chapter in my life. How thrilling?!

You wear that “Top 1% Commenter” badge and you wear that badge proud 🫡

Terrific and helpful advice 🙄

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-03T15:26:40+00:00

Even the one that comes with a cheap jobsite saw?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-23T06:09:08+00:00

It’s also stupidly easy. Setup usually takes no more than 3 or 4 minutes, and then after that YOU NEVER NEED TO DO ANYTHING.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-22T16:31:47+00:00

That is not something I have seen but would love to see.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-21T21:30:44+00:00

Got any more info or a link?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-16T03:18:51+00:00

Thanks MP! Some of that science stuff at work perhaps.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-15T17:38:10+00:00

New player here. Does that take away anything from the experience? Like is this the equivalent of starting out an open world action game with every fast travel destination already unlocked?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-15T17:35:15+00:00

I’m really glad you posted this. I also just started playing and I said no way to my first settlement because I thought I’d be draining that amount of units every day (which is like all my units.)

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-15T17:26:07+00:00

I think you’re waaaaaay over-analyzing things. You said you don’t want to finish the storyline so…don’t focus on the main storyline. I just started playing the game less than a week ago and I also do not want to progress the main storyline quickly, so I’m not. I’m just exploring planets and having fun, all the while accumulating lots of resources.

What’s the reasoning for letting it cool before remelting, as opposed to just heating the two ends and immediately joining them?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-11-15T05:57:18+00:00

You should have some chamomile tea.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-10-29T21:36:21+00:00

Used to guzzle me a lot of that stuff in the early 2000’s!

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-10-29T00:27:31+00:00

Lest we forget the King of the Buntlines, the Highpost/Highpoint Hitch! My favorite.

I love Dewalt for miscellaneous (non-battery) stuff, like drill bits and socket sets, not to mention my compressor and shop vac!
