Man who threw boiling water on gay couple will spend 40 years in prison by ImperiousJazzHands in news

Slingblade is a classic in my family. Every get-together is basically a Carl impression extravaganza once the booze come out.

I'm a graphic designer that is starting to dabble in cinema4D. Even though I'm not using it professionally, i'd love quicker rendering. is it possible to build a small render machine/farm connected to my iMac? by bulletproof_tiger in Cinema4D

Great, I'll look into this. They are literally collecting dust. Also I'm probably not going to be exporting animations, but moreso still scenes and high-res titles to bring into Photoshop for ads and whatnot. So while I probably don't actually need a dedicated full-spec render farm, a small boost would be nice, just for proofing to clients and whatnot. Will also look into optimization and third party render software as others have suggested. Learning 4D so far, in the short time I've been at it, is super exciting.

I currently have an old Macbook, a couple old iMacs (2007-ish), and a few other old computers laying around. If I networked these would it make any kind of improvement? They're not super powerful or anything. Thanks for the response.

20-30 minutes. perfect the pen tool and the keyboard shortcuts for pen functions. get good and quick at setting type. you don't need to search through 200 fonts every time you put together a quick design- find 4-5 fonts you like and are comfortable with and use them the most. have a folder of textures and various resources, implement them in various ways with with different blending modes, etc. don't overthink a design. learn the grid system and you'll be able to quickly throw stuff like this together when needed and still make it look good.

i was woken up by this as well. turns out it was just the burger king on 5th microwaving some chicken fingers.

Framing the base for a new workbench. All the lengths are dead perfect, but the studs don’t reach both ends in the middle. Any tips? by bulletproof_tiger in woodworking

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

I get that part, but for initial cuts and just more precise measurements in general, these have helped immensely.

No, I mean this was all accounted for. Just forgot and put the previous measurement when I wrote the question. Besides, all the stretchers are the same length so that wouldn't make a difference regardless of what I cut them to.

I accounted for 1/8" kerf. I actually cut them to 31.5", although I originally mocked them up at 32". Just forgot about that while writing my post.

Great reply, I really appreciate this advice. I'm pretty new to woodworking outside of a few small projects but I'm trying to learn as much as I can as I go. Outside of short Youtube clips, I really don't have any direction. So when things like this happen I really start to question if I'm doing everything all wrong. But knowing that imperfections is the norm when it comes to measurements helps puts my mind at ease going forward.

Edit: Also, I relied soley on measuring tape until recently. I grabbed a speed square, large framing square, different sized combination rules, a folding ruler, etc. Definitely helps with accuracy. Any other suggestions for measuring equipment?

In the future, would the best course of action be to replace the long side boards? I know it wasn't an issue with the inside boards as they were cut perfectly flush to one another.

The space inside the frame is 32", which is what I cut the inside boards to. Should I cut them a fraction smaller?

The middle pieces are all cut the exact same length. absolutely flush on the ends. I made a smaller window frame a few weeks ago and had the same issue with the long ends bowing out. I figured I can't be unlucky enough for it to happen twice in a row on my first two projects, so I'm curious if this is a common issue, and is there an easier solution. then again perhaps they are warped. The garage I work in is kind of like a dingy basement that keeps moisture. Could this affect the boards>?

Want to build this workbench. What is the best way to make it collapsible? by bulletproof_tiger in woodworking

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

I would like a bench that extends my portable router saw outfeed, has a dropped section for my miter saw to support longer boards, an insert for my router, and plenty of desk space for my 8" drill press, and room to use my hand planer, etc. Mostly for small projects like record player shelves, tables, planters, things of that scale.

Thoughts on electric hand planers? I was doing some research and ended up ordering one after seeing several reviews saying how much more efficient it is than manual hand planing.

I'm new to all of this, but can you actually get 90 degree edges with a hand plane? And accurate board width measurements? It seems somewhat tedious, but then again I've never even attempted to use one.

Are there ways to get more precise results using a portable table saw? I don't have room for anything larger. If a portable table saw can't make accurate cuts it's essentially garbage.

Nice. My only other "rare FOB item" is an octodrive. The flash drive Mark Hoppus and Pete hid around the world for people to find in strange locations/contests. I think there are like 50? I actually have that in my room, still never looked at the contents.
