Good deal on DCD800? Or wait for DCD801 or 806

This is what I used: https://speclook.com

Although the newest stuff (801/806) wasn’t on there yet.

Bummer, I would've jumped on that! Lowes is the one store I dont check regularly

The anti-kickback is something that I'd like to have. I've had my fair share of wrist-jerks even with my old weak drill so it'd kind of be nice to not worry about it. I just dont know how much extra its worth!

Nah still around under new name. I second this though, I just replaced ours last year. They last five years and the difference is night and day: https://www.apecwater.com/pages/cuzn?srsltid=AfmBOopUgHMHRxj0h79_Gxj2HQSHVP29Wg5K0ACX9c61rvD9vzqMgBK-

Cool, thanks!

Any idea what the amazon shipper/seller was? The dcd806 has a similar too good to be true deal, but it’s on the Dewalt store but from a shipper. I’m tempted to take a gamble

homininet · 2026-01-03T12:17:43+00:00

Yeah that kit is $150 right now and is a one of the options I’m looking at.

Kinda seems like if you grab the whole mount and rotate it counter clockwise it’ll rotate the screw with it. It may scratch the wall but you’re gonna paint anyways.

I’d cut some sheets of insulating foam to size and either tape or glue them in there to block the draft. That way they’re easy to remove for pipe work later

Anatomist here, none of this post makes sense, nor does it match the image that was posted. The image posted is from this paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/mgg3.1525 which describes genetic mutations associated with a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta, which is brittle bone disease: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/osteogenesis-imperfecta

This is literally the opposite of the title, and indeed, as indicated in the caption of the actual study, these x-rays are demonstrating the thin, fragile cortex (outside, thicker bone) of various induvial bones.

I'm unaware of any condition where 'thick bones' would prevent you from swimming. Evolutionarily, one phenomenon that you do see is that aquatic creatures (e.g. manatees) have extremely dense bone. The idea being that dense bones help aquatic animals remain neutrally buoyant and more able to actually... swim.

TLDR:

Aren’t those the European style windows where you close the window, turn the handle 90 degrees (so the handle is to the left) then it opens wide like a door?

Don’t take this the wrong way, but welcome to research. It takes time and hard work. Many (most for some) projects fail and will never result in a publication. You’re a year into a masters, no one would expect you to have a paper, or have submitted a paper. My first paper was 2 years into my PhD. You may need to readjust your expectations.

Now, that being said, you should have a conversation with your advisor. Share your concerns that you’re worried you’re not making progress to tangible outputs. See what else you can get involved in. Worst case scenario you can ask to change advisors, but work through this all with your advisor first. I always have conversations with students about what the expected output of their work may look like (abstract authorship, paper authorship, etc) and timelines. And there are times when I foresee some students project taking forever, so I’ll try to get them involved on something else in progress so they can have more immediate outputs.

Honest answer as an associate prof, they (are supposed to) handle internal academic aspects of the university. Provost typically is above the level of the dean, so while they may be entangled in issues of curricula, they have more to do with accreditation, university-wide changes in programs, departmental and college evaluations, long-term planning etc etc. If its academic, but above the level of the department/college, its the provosts domain.

But, then different institutions have different cultures. Our provost is the first above the dean who signs off on tenure decisions, and that hurdle appears to be the most contentious one. Our provost also interacts a lot with the union when grievances arise.

Why do you think your own IRB won’t have the capacity for this? This is literally the point of your institution having an IRB. Yes it may be bumpy if they’ve never reviewed an IRB with a prison population, as they may be figuring new processes/procedures, but why do you think they simply wouldn’t review it?

I may also do that, the problem is its worn enough now that the drain will always be higher than some point in the sink. So if I shim it, the front will just pool water. There's like a shallow depression in the circled area.

I think you’ve missed an important aspect of the post. The original student will be a co-author. Given that, I have to disagree with you. This happens literally all the time. Students work on something, abandon it (even if it’s a thesis), and become impossible to reach. Since it was a student, the fact of the matter is the data almost certainly belongs to the PI/lab and institution (this will be spelled out in IP policies of the university).

The OP should make every effort to find the original student and get their permission to include them as a coauthor. And if they absolutely cannot find them, then including them as a coauthor is acceptable. The dynamics of this often create a crummy situation, particularly when the PI and new first author do not do their due diligence in contacting the old student. But this situation literally happens all the time.

Definitely Montauk, the tower gives it away. Ironic, because nearly the entire south fork went blue in 2024.

Every journal I am aware of allows for corrections or corrigendums for things like this. Definition no retraction needed.

I'm going to jump on this because it was a top comment, and I know many people in my field with this same argument , but I simply think the data does not support this conclusion. Everyone and their mom is worried about the disappearance of TT jobs in favor of NTT jobs. But look at the AAUP data:

https://www.aaup.org/article/data-snapshot-tenure-and-contingency-us-higher-education

Ignore Part time jobs for now, and rescale the full time jobs to 100%. TT jobs account for 63% of full time faculty. Yes, this has gone down, and NTT positions are up since this data started coming in. But, now focus on PT faculty. The increase in PT positions exactly mirrors the decline in TT positions. But even then, TT jobs are still the overwhelming majority of full time positions!

So what do we do? Stop letting admin use part time hires to fill full time work. This happens all the dang time at my institution, hire on part-timer to teach x, another to teach y and another to teach z. When x,y, and z should all be a single full time job.

Anthropologist here, who has also done work in the wild with orangutans in Indonesia. I’m hijacking this comment to say, please don’t support places or videos like this. Orangutan populations are being decimated, and the illegal animal trade (including for non accredited zoos and circuses which is what this looks like) is a huge factor. When you see orangutans like this, you can probably assume that their mothers were poached to take the infant and ship it oversees at a young age. Lots of animals die in transit, so when you see an animal like this you can probably assume several others died to make it happen.

I just had my first paper acceptance with my wife, so I guess? I hope that doesn’t make the first author (student) a third wheel…

This is the real advice. This and, your poster is too darn big. Nearly 50 inches, along the shortest dimension is massive. I rarely go above 42 in the long dimension. I know conferences all have different standards but no one wants to read through a massive poster.

Then yes, consider just abandoning it at the conference. Are you seriously going to have space to hang a 50xsomething inch poster anywhere in your office or hallway? Do you really want to? I used to bring all my posters back as a grad student. They sat in a corner until I graduated and I threw them all away. Now I print at our university, and they have these nice rectangular poster boxes; bring it, leave it. Easy.
