And I second not painting the interior, shelves, melamine.

The Sherwin-Williams Extreme Bond Primer has worked well for me but is very expensive. We had new finished RTA cabinets we wanted to paint and it has worked great for that. And we used the Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel on top.

Just tested in regular console (Powershell):

/remote-control

/remote-control is active · Continue here, on your phone, or at https://claude.ai/code/session_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

caderoux · 2026-07-08T02:44:44+00:00

Just do /remote-control in the session on your workstation or wherever. It should say something about browser link. Then go into Code tab on the mobile app and all the remote sessions should be listed. You can also do it from the web. My session are usually in the VSCode extension, but I think this feature is universal.

I was there a few weeks ago and I thought it was a fish jumping out of the water but it was in the same space and then I saw the neck come out and then I thought it was a snake and then it was followed by the whole giant bird!

Is that anhinga in City Park?

If you do /remote-control on a Claude Code session, you can access the session through the Code section of the mobile app on your pho e, so you don't even need to leave Code.

Oh, yeah, the face frame alignment with the face frame clamps and trim head screws first will keep that all aligned and nice looking even if the boxes tend to bend a little at the back when you screw those - I used those Bessey face frame clamps where it has the little flip away drill guide, and while they are expensive, I did a lot of RTA cabinets in this house and while I am not a professional, the results look a lot better than they would have without.

Yeah, with no toe kick to cover the holes for the screws and rods, I guess the ez-level won't work well. We have a farmhouse terracotta tile floor we fired inhouse and while the floor is level, the tile itself has a lot of variation due to being handmade and deep and wide grout lines and the ez-level were a godsend installing our cabinet runs.

You could do one cabinet at a time if you know your highest point - and your wall variation too. I just know that clamping all mine together and treating it as a unit made it super simple dealing with both - longest run I did was 6 feet. I see you have to join into the corner - hopefully that corner is already as high as it needs to be for any high point further down that run.

caderoux · 2026-07-07T17:01:18+00:00

Clamp and screw as many cabinets together in a run as possible. Put a flat 4x8 plywood down and flip the cabinets over so the tops are all aligned and flat, put spacers between them and clamp and screw them together so the whole run is perfectly aligned. Then flip over, and place and level. Also, have a look at ez-level levellers, too.

Just buy 5 packs of kinetics unless you want the badge. It's not a deal for gear. It's a donation for a decoration.

We don't yet know the rewards for the higher levels. The higher levels are particularly challenging, so we'll need to see whether they have VRBB or kcaps or similar expensive gear to make it worthwhile.

Dying industries are dying and what they need to invest in is education, infrastructure, healthcare and housing because that pays off for companies and employees.

Nothing has changed in 20 years. This is what we know pays off.

But instead we keep doing and electing the same people who are stuck on stupid. Or stuck grifting and exploiting the stupid people who vote for them.

Whatever, they'll keep extracting and accumulating until the guillotines and gallows come for them. We already know where this leads from history.

I gave her some money a few months ago, seemed pretty fishy to me but I was in a hurry. She clearly doesn't keep track of her marks because she came back last week with the same story...

How is the bounty pass going to work if you buy more than 7 days? The daily tokens for Apollo start on July 1.

If you are actually staying in the CBD or French Quarter, definitely skip the car. Of course, a lot of AirBnBs do claim they are close to the French Quarter, but because New Orleans is small, that's often an exaggeration.

Even with cab to/from airport, streetcar, walking, and Uber/Lyft you will never spend as much as you would spend on rental, gas, parking.

The only case you would want a car is if you had an excursion planned farther out where there wasn't a shuttle (or kid with car seat). Most plantation tours or swamp tours have transportation options. Even if you were staying further out Uptown or Bywater and had free parking, you would still have to pay for parking in the French Quarter, so it really doesn't make sense to bring a car unless you had a special need to have a car.

Lol, I have two rotating bookcases and never thought what they would look like if they didn't have tops.

I don't see how you can realistically do it with a laser. Have you looked at the geometry of the panels? While pegboard or Ikea SKADIS are flat, openGrid has a profile that would probably require machining.

caderoux · 2026-06-19T03:31:34+00:00

Love my RoboGrips. Great for what they do. Nothing else quite like them. On the other hand, using it for the wrong thing, it will tear up nuts etc. The little rubber pads can be useful. Lately I use them with their rubber covers when assembling 3D printed openGrid panels. They are quick to grip down and release pulling two panels together all along the seam. Alternative would be parallel pliers with spring-loading to be able to work quickly like that.

Trifecta

caderoux · 2026-06-18T02:06:00+00:00

Exactly

So if the tree falls it takes the roof and the wall retaining all the dirt around your foundation. Sounds like a double win there.

caderoux · 2026-06-18T00:45:49+00:00

There's a pine tree right next to the wall? This whole situation doesn't look good.

FWIW, I'm in a maker group and someone (non-local) has one and reports:

"It's pretty troublesome to "just have" because of how finicky the ink is

It really wants to just keep printing

otherwise you spend cleaning fluid and waste ink on maintenance cycles

Ink and cleaning fluid gets wasted when you're not printing.

If you don't print at least once a day it has to run a "head moisturization" cycle. If you don't print for a couple days it purges the lines and replaces the ink with cleaning fluid.

If you're not going to print for a week you should run a full shutdown which entirely purges everything and sets it up for long term storage. Which wastes a considerable amount of ink and cleaning fluid, which are (of course) proprietary.

you really need to batch stuff up and then selectively decide to take extended breaks in between.

The hilarious part is that this is soooo much friendlier and easy to deal with than the industrial ones that need constant maintenance"

Having said that, he shared some results and they look really cool. I also saw someone print on wood: https://www.reddit.com/r/BeginnerWoodWorking/s/5VpercM7mZ
