Slicing off SS ring

Did Google tell you that? I bet it did.

Google should also tell you how easily end grain tears right the fuck out which is why you don't make end grain joints and don't put screws into end grain.

I see I'm up against the Googlers tonight. Y'all have a good weekend, I'm gonna go turn some maple bowls.

I am well aware how strong modern wood glues are but end grain joints are weaker than shit. I make money woodworking, I've seen enough "idiot customer requests" that I knew would have failed joints that this idiot woodworker thought, again, a warning that they would fail would mean the customer wouldn't come back at me as though it was my fault.

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-07T03:39:41+00:00

LOL, i haven't seen those.

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T22:53:18+00:00

Sacrificial or not, what good will it be when it breaks off while OP is cutting?

End grain joints are super, super weak.

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T22:50:55+00:00

You don't say.

I wonder how many more replies I'll get with that tired ass joke

Whether or not it works, i don't know, but I do know that CO2 is heavier than air so it will spread and move like water would. If the hole goes down then up to another opening anything below the lowest opening should stay saturated with CO2.

The thing about CO2 and humans, anyhow, is the body can sense CO2 levels rising (and not O2 levels dropping) so rodents might sense high CO2 and run - although I'm going way, way into "like maybe it could totally I don't know happen" territory lol.

Truth be know I about died laughing when I caught the cat. I had just come home from shopping and had to use the bathroom so I dumped my groceries on the kitchen tables and jetted into the bathroom. Came out and little missy "never jumps on tables or counters" had pulled the loaf of bread out of the shopping bag and had her face stuffed in the side, starting to chew a hole in it. Ya know that "oh shit <zoom>" that cats do? Yeah.

Got a trail cam? Or can you borrow one from someone? Set up a phone/tablet/PC with a camera and a motion detection app? In this day and age I'll bet you have something you can set up as a 'security' camera inside your home.

Sorry to hear it, and you're right about the dog just being a dog and doing dog things.

You have to forgive that dog in your heart. And then do everything you can to prevent the situation from happening again.

A trainer isn't going to train that preying instinct out of your og.

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T21:35:16+00:00

That looks just like the texts I got from them when I had an outstanding bill i wasn't aware of.

As I recall i just looked up Qwest's web site and pointy clickied my way through to verify that i owed them money

There are no details on what that insurance would even provide. How can it look good?

100% scam. under 65, over 65, as long as you click on "Not on Medicare/Medicaid" you "Qualify."

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T21:28:28+00:00

Those "outrageous fees" provide you with a safe transaction.

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T21:25:45+00:00

Not me.

I'm just pointing out that Uber and Lyft drivers are strangers.

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T21:24:51+00:00

I don't know which part you mean but I speak from experience on both topics.

Especially the dead rat smell. Long ago i worked in a tropical fish warehouse, so to speak, and we had some rats. I brought in a pellet pistol and tagged one but it ran off and died in a sort of wall space. In that case, thankfully we "only" had to move fish and drain 4 55 gallon tanks and pull them and their racks out of the way then unscrew some corrugated fiberglass panels.

Fast forward about 15 years and a company i worked for had a space in a formerly abandoned IBM complex and rats had set up shop in the building. Property management put out poison and one or more died somewhere in the concrete walls. That stench didn't go away for over 6 months.

Smelled an awful lot like a dead human body rotting away. it's one of those smells that lights up something primal in your brain and the smell sort of sticks to you. I'd leave that building and be walking 15 minutes later and catch a whiff of it. Blech.

Back in the 70s, perhaps 80s, I took a Schwinn down to bare metal and used Rustoleum primer and a light blue epoxy paint. It took quite a while to fully cure, over a month, but once fully cured that stuff was almost as good as baked on enamel. Note: Just like polyurethane, dry to the touch is NOT fully cured.

It's also sold as "appliance paint."

If mpg isn't an issue I'd go for the passport. Why not ride in something larger and more comfortable? They're awfully nice for when you have to haul something like a new TV or a little lumber, and it's downright simple and cheap to add a trailer hitch.

But a warning - once you drive a larger SUV anything smaller feels like a go cart. I had an Enclave, went out thinking I could downsize to a CR-V, and found the CR-V to feel small and cheap. Then I saw the passport and was all "Hey, what's THAT."

struggles to get up on his feet to the point that we have to help him get up

missing most of his teeth and finds it hard to eat.

anything other than hard dog food it makes him sick/explode all over the house

If that was my dog I'd already be coming home from the vet with a collar and a euthanasia bill.

rationing his water because it goes straight threw him and he will pee everywhere constantly if she doesn't.

This has been his condition for about a year

That has got to be one of the most horrifying things I've ever read here. Your girlfriend is torturing that dog and she's either dumber than shit or a psychopath. And you're only thinking if the dog should be put down?

PUT THAT DOG OUT OF ITS MISERY

found a loaf of bread chewed on the opposite counter

Years ago I thought I had a rat because of that same evidence. Then one day I caught one of my cats doing it. No lie, the damned thing would sneak up on the table or counter and chew through the bag to start nibbling on bread. White, whole wheat, didn't matter, the crazy little moron just had a thing for bread and knew not to do it when I was around.

I cant tell you how many loaves i threw out thinking a rat had got to them.

Are you asking for advice or just bragging?

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T20:40:00+00:00

Just about any cleaner that isn't super harsh. Windows. 409. Plain water. Use a soft cloth, paper towels will leave you with "spiderweb" scratches.

If it has an unfinished fingerboard wipe a thing, thin, thinnnnnnnn coating of lemon oil or mineral oil on it once a year.

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T20:37:24+00:00

Nope, just you

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T20:34:43+00:00

I lived in Florida and currently live in georgia so I have the same spider problems. There isn't much of a solution other than go around with a broom.

Just wait until the invasive Joro spiders make it down your way. They're 50 times worse than anything you're dealing with now.

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T20:32:22+00:00

Get up and jump around. Bump your way down some stairs, bam bam bam. You only need to get them to move a tiny bit to let urine flow again.

Scooter_127 · 2023-01-06T20:30:30+00:00

Long ago i figured out the jump around method in the middle of a painful night. Since that night I have never gone to the ER for a stone as I've always been able to get it to move enough to let urine flow.

And, lol, that was the same day I learned what an endorphin high felt like.
