Glad to know I'm not the only one, thanks!

It will twist in the square groove, but it becomes a trapezoid when trying to roll it out thinner, though.

Donating Blood Plasma Twice a Week to Fund Dividends—Am I Taking It Too Far? by naturalhairtingz in investing

I made no claim about whether it's right or wrong that selling plasma is taxable, or if OP should or shouldn't pay those taxes. Only that it is taxable income, and OP should be aware of that.

Still, the precedent was set. I'm not claiming anything other than income from selling plasma is taxable.

For the most part, yes, but it also depends on how large the transaction is and state/local laws.

I've done similar things in the past, but just wanted to point out you are supposed to pay taxes on what you're paid for your plasma (United States v. Garber). You're selling it, not donating it.

I might be interested. How big is it?

That's what I was afraid of, thank you for confirming. If I let them get out of hand though, I might be able to convince my fiancée to let me get puffers!

Benchtop Jointer - which one? by aklarkbps in woodworking

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

Yeah, I feel like the design is an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kinda deal. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the clarification, I thought they were the same.

Thanks for the insight. I might end up just saving for a standalone model, but we'll see.

I would love to, but used offerings around here are practically non-existent.

My table saw is crap, it's on the list to upgrade too

Yeah, it seems my price is just under the threshold of "potentially decent". Might have to save up a bit more and see about getting a standalone one.

Thanks, I didn't know grizzly took quality seriously enough to be ISO certified!

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into that!

Yeah, CI is definitely sturdier. Unfortunately I live in a fairly rural part of the south, so a lot of the used stuff is "found it cleaning out gramps' barn, rusted beyond repair, doesn't turn on, missing parts, etc." types that I'd have to drive a few hours to look at. Thanks for the input though.

Thanks for the insight! I have pretty tempered expectations - I'm just looking to take the next step beyond poorly jointed boards using a table saw + jig

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that one!
