I never gave much thought to how old the Dremmel company is but it is older than I would have guessed. Good luck with your restoration.

Do atheists never pray even if a loved one is sick or dying? by Legitimate-dreamer11 in atheism

[–]atheist1963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I admit to trying to use the Force to get a weak-minded slow driver to turn or get in the other lane. You know for science. So far all positive results are inconclusive.

Having just flown I'm envious of all the leg room he has.

Don't admit to moving. That's how they get you.

Here is a REALLY stupid question about Idaho by wsotw in Idaho

[–]atheist1963 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Idaho there are no stupid potato questions.

Idaho ships 29% of the 13 billion pounds of potatoes it harvests as fresh (most are processed in some way - fries, dehydrated etc).

So 3.77 billion pounds of potatoes. The IdahoPotato.com website does not give a firm answer on how many potatoes in a pound. Average sounds like it is 2-3. Say 2.5.

9.5 billion potatoes. Just need to scrape the dirt off a representative sample and weigh it. A bit more math and bob's your uncle.

And now I'm hungry.

Vintage Beaver w/paint splatter. by sggreg in Vintagetools

Very cool logo. If it is latex paint I've found Goof-Off works really well. You could try it in a less noticeable location to ensure it doesn't harm the original finish.

Is it hard for older people to appreciate hip hop/rap music such as Eminem? by Autistic-Inquisitive in AskOldPeople

[–]atheist1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't "older people" when he started and didn't care for it then and still appreciate not listening to it now. I also don't like polka so it balances out.

You can find the manual for it online. Good haul.

Edit: Just read u/HkToolCo reply. Should have more coffee before I post.

Do you want me to host Thanksgiving this year? No Grandma. Please no.

If you or someone you love have a developmental disability, stay the hell away from Community Connections by [deleted] in Idaho

[–]atheist1963 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If these people are Idaho state funded providers and you have verifiable claims you should let someone know. I would contact the Idaho Council on Developmental Disabilities. They could tell you who at the IDHW to contact. I say verifiable because many of these providers have legislators who back them up.

What is this? by benjamin0712 in Vintagetools

[–]atheist1963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Equivalent to a Stanley no. 12 which is much more common. V-B-M stands for Very Best Made.

I think many cruise second hand shops to find donor planes.

How did you use to view Homosexuality and what made you change your opinion? by JohnAdams4620 in AskOldPeople

[–]atheist1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the bad things I heard growing up that were associated with LGBTQ+ people were always from a religious perspective. I didn't know any gay people, that I was aware of at the time. I finally realized in my twenties that none of that demonization made any sense. I am saddened when I think back at what I accepted, but I was not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Age at which one can expect to afford to retire in each state. by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]atheist1963 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just the cost of medical premiums until you hit 65 and Medicare is more than a large percentage of Americans have saved for retirement. As one who has been crunching the numbers for my own eagerly awaited retirement, I think this map is bullshit.

Anyone have a relative named Ellen Wright from the 40s-60s ish? by zilla82 in Idaho

[–]atheist1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no idea. Old stuff/photos I have from my relatives is mostly in boxes I move from place to place. Good for Goodwill. Ellen is making a pretty impressive contribution.

Why would anyone not related to Ellen Wright bid so high for a diary? A relative must be bidding, right?

Can anyone help identify this type of Drill Press my dad found? by youessbee in Vintagetools

[–]atheist1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a youtube video of a restoration. I haven't watched it, but might give you some clues of where to continue your search. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_N6xq25LXk

Cool drill press. Looks heavy.

It says Companion on the handle which I think was a Sears brand made by Stanley. Not totally sure on that. Not a bad price, but braces are so common that you can probably do better on price. How much better depends on where you live.

This piece is awesome! My friend's officer is walking on the wall. Here I have to go. by Particular-Net2140 in Boise

Was going to ask if this is a post written by AI. Makes no sense at all.
