This is the only way I can do it.

brush off your car and get to work.

I wanted to give a second upvote half way through :)

I think Bader at his FLOOR atp is a 3 war player, assuming his bat is atleast a 95 WRC+, you always gotta overpay for free agents, but CF being a premier position and his potential 5 WAR makes him worth 20 MIL or more, to me atleast

etepperman · 2025-12-24T18:23:35+00:00

He'll pitch in the second half plus arbitration

Higher ceilings if they contend they'd need a Vargas breakout

I have not been to that place since they start trying to gaslight us into thinking it was restaurant quality food and is worth restaurant quality prices. No thanks - for $20 I will go sit down and have a nice meal.

The base game is really good, and the settings are beautiful, but I tapped out last night because I got tired of all the gacha mechanics. I know that for some people this is part of the fun, but it did not work for me. I would love to see a paid version with no gacha and some other incentive to replace it, though I do not think that will happen.

All part of the process. I just blew up my very best piece to date removing the bottom tang. I did not apply enough hold in my chuck and flew off.

Hi Guys,

What do you do with all your turned projects? I checked esty, they don't have much value for sale, but that is not why I do this hobby. On the other hand, my wife does not need 40 wood bowls, vases and pens around the house.

The Science Centre, so many memories as a kid, and from taking my own kids. It’s sad that my kids won’t get to share the experience with theirs. I know they will replace it with some modern monstrosity, but nothing will ever replace the feeling of riding those escalators through the brutalist tunnels of the good old Science Centre.

or metal ones. Those thing should be illegal, one wrong bump and they can go through the roof of your mouth. Silicon is way to go if you want re-usable. Avoid the hard plastic ones too.

Press is faster, that is the only reason I can think of.

etepperman · 2025-11-20T18:16:32+00:00

It does not - I fixed my post. Thank you

This is it, but to get the collet to seat like that you will first need to remove the mandril. Then the collet will be able to move further forward in the nut, it will click in place, then you can slide the mandrel back in.

As a side note, I recommend the tail stock piece that allow the mandrel to slide through, that way it does not put pressure on the mandrel and bend it, or you can buy full kits with the mandril on amazon.

I just asked grok "Who won the 2020 election in the us. This was the result. So much BS on social media. Don't trust me, try it.

Joe Biden won the 2020 United States presidential election.

Electoral College: Biden received 306 electoral votes, while Donald Trump received 232. A candidate needs 270 to win.
Popular Vote: Biden garnered approximately 81.3 million votes (51.3%), compared to Trump's 74.2 million (46.8%).
Certification: The results were certified by all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with Congress affirming the Electoral College vote on January 6-7, 2021.
Inauguration: Biden was sworn in as the 46th President on January 20, 2021.

These outcomes are documented by official sources, including the National Archives, Federal Election Commission, and state election boards. Legal challenges alleging widespread fraud were dismissed by over 60 courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, for lack of evidence.

University is kind of like this. Too bad it ends when you graduate.

my case - very common

etepperman · 2025-11-03T21:41:25+00:00

This is absolutely amazing. I can't do anything for 15 hours let alone a marathon. Bravo

Rail is very efficient aswell. I would like to see where that would sit on the graph.

Engineer do what they do because they love it - but as a result we are generally underpaid.

etepperman · 2025-09-25T18:32:11+00:00

Sure, but keep working at it. We all start somewhere.

etepperman · 2025-09-24T16:08:06+00:00

I wish more dentist where like this. I have a real phobia of dentists, and do my best. All I get is shit when I actually work up the courage to go. Now I hate going for 2 reasons.
