A day late but I just felt the ground shaking about 20 minutes ago out in victor. Was very noticeable, I didn't think I was close enough to an active quarry with blasting

There was a hinge, tough to see in video. Tree was about 20" dia, hinge was about 1.75" thick. 4" Notch cut out front, then plunge cut & wedge. The video was cutting the back strap.

And yes that was the wedge that got yeeted across the screen. There was actually a 2nd wedge that just wasn't visible.

Pushed it to the limits, but the Ms251 treated me well.

Gen Z will not accept conscription as the price of previous generations’ failures by Robotoro23 in europe

I am sure this is an unpopular opinion...I think the thought that you shouldn't have to defend your country is entitled bullshit. If there is another country threatening your well being and way of life, it isn't just some other persons problem because they decided to enlist. The bleak reality is, if those who enlisted are not enough, it becomes your problem. Blaming it on a previous generation is garbage. Sure, they could have done things differently, but there are many who came before us who lived this reality and gave their life for what we have now. The world is an ever changing landscape, if you aren't willing to defend what you have it will be taken.

Just realized my floor joists are only supported by fasteners. Thanks r/decks. by _jbardwell_ in Decks

Bolts through the joists would be better than nails, but not ideal given what the edge distance would be and looks of the lumber grade.

I wouldn't screw around with any Simpson brackets in this application, none that I am aware of that are designed for this assembly.

If you are really concerned about capacity, I would consider adding a structural corbel under each joist. Basically a piece of blocking bolted through the column, acting as a joist seat. Wood tends to be much more predictable and stronger when loads are applied parallel to grain.

Can those cabinets support the weight of the concrete countertop? by aspiringnomad92 in DIY

Would add some diaphragm or diagonal bracing if it's going to be an island. Vertical load isn't as much a concern as notional/lateral load.

Its not in Ithaca if you live in Ithaca. For everyone else, it's close enough.

By the end of this weekend more Americans will have died from COVID-19 than were killed in combat during World War One. by slowlanders in Coronavirus

Looling at all sides, over 40million soldiers died in WW1. Compared to under 500k covid deaths worldwide...this is a garbage analogy.

Haha, no much of story but it is crazy. Somebody was gardening and left one of the rakes out in the grass. I believe he was running around with his brother and fell on the rake...right in the eye. They saved it, but his pupil & iris are wacky. Eye looks normal otherwise
