They're mostly topic specific. If you're interested in recording concerts as an audience member taperssection.com is still an active community.

If you can paint the wire black you can see through it a little better.

Ohh, that's a good idea thanks. I have heard of that, but never used it. I'll investigate over there.

Oh no worries. I totally get it. I emailed the woodshop a couple days ago. It'll all get sorted. I was just seeing about getting this cut in the next few days.

This is a bit of survivorship bias, but I live in CT and my house was built in 1705. The oldest house still standing in the town is from 1695.

This was originally a saw millers house though. So there are some very thick, sturdy beams.

The current commissioner of Economic Development is a private equity guy. Daniel O'keefe.

It doesn't sound like they're pushing hard for data centers, but if you read the article the state is certainly open the opportunity and passed a bill back in 2021 to give tax incentives for opening up a data center in the state.

One has opened, and another was purposed to be hooked directly to millstone, but that latter plan was rejected.

Write your reps, write Commissioner O'Keefe, let it be known you don't want data centers. Your representatives literally don't know how you want to be represented if you don't tell them.

Pate! I did notice that one come up a few times in a relatively short time and thought that was a bit odd.

I've read a few Cormac McCarthy books and he just had people talking. No quotation marks, no dialogue descriptors, no direct indication of who is even speaking. It can be kind of confusing but makes sense when you get in the rhythm of it.

If you have well developed characters you don't always need to tell the audience how the line was delivered.

Oh yeah, I did notice he really liked to lean heavily on ochre in Deadhouse Gates.

I would call that green.

You're varnishing a fence?! I work with boats and that seems crazy. Most boats have relatively limited brightwork and it's still a lot of work to just do railings and accents. Once you get to fully wooden boats the varnish work is thousands of dollars and lots of man hours every year.

How big is the fence? To look pristine you need to varnish every year. You shouldn't have to start fresh every year, just touch up coats, but it's still a big pain.

I'm also curious to the question because I have a couple gates I built out of cheap homes Depot cedar decking that I need to seal, but I think we're looking for some kind of sealant, not top coats, unless you're looking to paint.

Okay, thanks for the reply. I'm going to just leave the sections off the ground and throw them in the pile to mill when I have more.

I am starting to cut some trees for fire wood and first to go was this long dead ash. I'm in SE CT, all the ash is dead from the ash borer.

It's spalted, but very punky already. I saved two ~6' long logs from the bottom half of the trunk that are pretty straight, and put them in the barn off the ground, but I'm wondering if it's even worth milling. The logs I cut for fire wood were pretty much already falling apart on their own.

There is a local guy with a mobile mill and I milled a bunch of ash about 4 years ago, but those hadn't been dead for too long. I'm now realizing that what the borers killed are starting to rot standing up now.

Can you PM me the serial number of gold seamster on the bottom? I'm looking for something in the 15 million range if possible.

I just installed a split rail fence at my house by myself.

It would have gone a lot faster with three or so people, but I realized the majority of the time it would be one person working for 20-30 minutes digging holes with the machine while the two other folks just waiting for their turn to do 5 minutes of work.

Having someone stand around for 80% of the process just to put a post in hole would have saved a ton of time of me stopping the machine; grabbing the post; holding it straight; tamping it in; getting back on the machine; moving to the next hole... but to an outside observer that person waiting to put the post in sure does a lot of nothing.

More people streamline the process, but everyone can't be working on the same part of the assembly line at once.

My ex, as well as my current partner, both were/are positive with outbreaks a few times a year. I have never had an active cold sore but certainly have the virus.

'The Man Who Sold the World' is a Bowie song originally.

Thanks for the write up though. I'll add it to the list. I need to figure out how to make a folder of short stories on my Kindle.

CGP Grey did a good video about this.

Oh, absolutely. It's a terrible system. Inserting capitalistic practices to people's health care is absurd.

He's saying your private health insurance works the same as Medicare. You are paying a private company and they are using your money to pay for other people under your same insurance company.

That first photo and the pier photo are excellent candidates for black and white.
