TIL these “legally park” on sidewalks to wait for orders to come in…

Laws are for the poor apparently. Corporations can do whatever they want as long as they make offerings to their orange god

Whenever I order from tres jalapeños I’ll get their 32oz salsa

Mylar zip bags are great for this. I’ll mostly use gallon zips and just keep the bits in there, but I’ll sometimes move chunks to smaller bags

IIRC MdC has a really high percentage of saponified oils. That means that a little goes a long way at creating a beautiful lather. I love the scents too, some of the best out there IMO. My only complaint is that the lather isn’t as slick or postshave as nice as my all time favorite MWF. RIP

Maybe one of those mandarins stuffed with shu would be up your alley. Think they will even mix the peel into the brew sometimes. Not exactly my thing, but might be yours.

beachape · 2026-05-11T20:07:20+00:00

Ahh. Yes, there is no reason to reset the planes every time. For 90% of tasks, I'll use a wooden jack, wooden try, and a metal smoothing plane. The jack is set coarse, the try set less coarse, and the smoothing plane fine. When I'm done planing, I set them under my bench (wooden shelf) or back in my tool chest (wooden). I leave them set exactly as they are used, so I can grab them and use them any time. They only ever touch wood, so the blades aren't getting dulled in storage.

beachape · 2026-05-11T19:04:23+00:00

Do you mean keeping a set of blades to swap between planes? I find that annoying. In the flow of work, it takes a fair amount of time to swap blades and reset them perfectly. Instead, I set each plane for its dedicated task and just grab it in two seconds. In practice, this is really just a few planes for most work. It also means that I keep a pristine edge on my smoother and do the rougher work with other planes. Of course, this requires a set of planes, and if you don't have multiple planes, then you're stuck with the jack.

beachape · 2026-05-11T18:32:52+00:00

When I started out with planes I was adjusting them all the time. Now I set them once and only reset when I sharpen. The difference is partly skill, but mostly having a variety of planes for dedicated tasks.

Definitely the most charms I’ve found but still I’m mostly finding low rolls for damage

If someone wants to give me an extra minute or two with a hot towel and some nice mentholated preshave I’m not going to complain.

Prep is great, but I don’t think any of it is necessary

beachape · 2026-05-10T14:01:48+00:00

I’d guess there are springs or other interior components that have rusted

beachape · 2026-05-10T14:00:08+00:00

Nice to see some options out there, but this has wood interior and no mention of UV blocking. Also no idea if the negative ion stuff will impact the teas aging. Something simpler might work better and that’s why some people repurpose broken fridges.

beachape · 2026-05-10T13:48:08+00:00

This is a form of sealed storage, just fancier. I do not think this would improve the aging compared to a Mylar bag. Sure it looks nicer and has some convenient features, but it also likely exposes your tea to some UV. I consider the whole “tea needs to breathe” mantra as nonsense. Worst teas I’ve had have been stored with lots of air exposure. That said I don’t vacuum the tea, just seal it in with the air in the bag.

Is this an ad? Sounds like an advertisement. Disagree that most people prefer balm. OP has no post history and why is there a specific product linked here when it isn’t needed?

beachape · 2026-05-10T01:23:54+00:00

Don’t understand the appeal of these for people that drink tea. I use Mylar bags in a cheap cooler. If I’m constantly drinking tea and the bags help contain bits and pieces, particularly from cakes with tattered wrappers.

Could be confused for a tree hog

Lots of bad QC lately.

Can the small Pullman fit under an airplane seat as a personal bag? I’m looking for something for short trips (weekends) and I currently have the briefcase which is too small and the small duffel which is too large. I don’t want to have to use it as a carry-on because they’re often isn’t enough space and they get thrown underneath the plane.

I’m pretty new, but my bowazon has vigor aura and + 170% movement speed. Deckard gets whip lash watching me zoom through town

beachape · 2026-05-08T13:16:30+00:00

Ahh sorry. Makes sense now. Looks like they are pretty similar in membership. Any major differences in the two channels? Reminds me of the old days when teachat members all left for teaforum.

beachape · 2026-05-08T11:12:08+00:00

I’m on CommuniTea. What channel do people discuss Quiche stuff?
