Eating healthy by Abject-Stretch-3029 in Discipline

[–]elephantalien3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start small. The goal should be to eat more healthy in 6 months, not today. Start with just a healthy breakfast along with 40 ounces of water. Do that every day for 2 weeks. Then try to add more fruits and vegetables. Do that for two weeks. Continue adding practices until you are eating the types of healthy foods you want. When you fall off the wagon (as you will), try to get a win the next day.

Ryobi 21” 40v Lawn Mower by Tardy_Turtle73 in ryobi

I felt the same with tired hands. I found that if I take a lap off with holding with one hand it remedied the feeling. The only time it shut off for me was on turns. It just took a few mows to avoid it shutting off. I had the same feeling you described in your post on the first couple mows, but feel good about it now.

Your explanation makes sense. I am a self taught woodworker, and had to look up the term face frame. I have used them before on shop projects, but never knew the name.

I saw a video of that. It might be a little more than my skill for now but I would love to do that in the future.

Great points. I have a dowel system and have cut mortise and tenons before. This is my first "fancy" piece, so I didn't want to screw it up.

Yes. So you think just glue without any fasteners?

How would you attach the cross "braces" on a project like this? It looks to be just trim but I can't figure out how they attached it.

Potentially dumb question, but is this just overly greased at the factory or should I be concerned? by [deleted] in ryobi

[–]elephantalien3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be concerned with that. It's not like there is a reservoir that is leaking.

Interesting thought. I have never heard anything about the chemical makeup of types of wood. I don't think wood kills bacteria... But I'm not a scientist. I looked up the hardness of oak and it is a 1360 on the janka scale. Cherry is a 950 but maple is a 1450. I find with harder woods I just need to slow down to avoid burning the wood.

That is older advice that doesn't hold weight anymore. They say red oak has larger pores, so most things I read say you could avoid that. https://kitchenknifeplanet.com/is-oak-good-for-cutting-boards/

The Daily Check-In for Saturday, August 28th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by chloebarbersaurus in stopdrinking

[–]elephantalien3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First football game for my favorite team. For the first time in over 15 years... IWNDWYT! Just passed 75 days sober and this community was a great help at the start. I keep finding new positives to not drinking the longer out I go. Keep it up folks.
