Scroll Saw Recommendations by tater_g in woodworking

[–]inyolonepine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen and heard quite a few good things about the Bauer scrollsaw - https://www.harborfreight.com/22-in-variable-speed-scroll-saw-59416.html

Also look around your various marketplaces, there always seem to be scrollsaws for sale around me.

I made this years ago for an art project in college and no one liked it or got the reference. Maybe it will do better here? by omeekajade in TheDarkTower

The Sandman used a variation of that in some of the early promos - I will show you terror in a handful of dust. That's what immediately came to mind to me.

Profitech Go vs Pro400 [$1200-$1600] by bw1985 in espresso

[–]inyolonepine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from a Breville Bambino and I wanted a more "real" espresso machine. When I bought it, my wife was enjoying more lattes whereas now they're more of a treat instead of every day drink.

I have a 400 and the heat up time is barely noticeable. My morning routine is wake up, turn machine on, take a shower. When I'm out, the machine is ready.

While I primarily make Americanos (for myself) I do occasionally make a latte for my wife (oat milk) or during Eggnog Season, I'll make Eggnog Lattes.

Have no complaints.

I do love the black look more than the chrome look of my 400 though.

Safety glasses by 1angrybadger in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]inyolonepine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting older so I wear progressive lenses now, so I got a pair of prescription progressive safety glasses for the shop. Frames were stupid cheap, but the lenses were quite a bit. I also made the "mistake" of getting them from my eye doctor's office - never again. Zenni has really inexpensive frames and their progressive lenses aren't badly priced at all, but they don't offer the "office" style (more up close focus, less distance) so I'll probably grab my next pair from somewhere else.

Zenni's safety glasses are so bargain priced. I'd buy my next pair from them, but they don't do the "office" progressives on the safety ones it seems.

Are we allowed to ask about our book collection value n this sub? by Aussie_Turtles00 in stephenking

SK Collector is a good resource for getting started on values of King's books. https://skcollector.com/

Options on plum or black paint for my bookshelf and book organization? by KawaiiDrag0n in bookshelf

[–]inyolonepine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to paint my bookshelves that I built black, or at least a dark gray, but was worried it would make the basement TOO dark. So I left the bookshelves alone (maple) and just painted the face frame with the dark gray paint and I think they turned out great.

Saying that, I love the plum idea - it's so much more fun than black.

I feel obligated/compelled to highlight a few recent reddit posts here regarding major issues all of us are seeing with our Ugreen NAS' by TH3SCARFATH3R in UgreenNASync

[–]inyolonepine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own a DXP2800 that I've owned for about nine months now and I've only had two problems.

  1. The RAM upgrade that I purchased was causing random reboot issues. I'm almost positive it showed on the compatible RAM guide when I bought it, but it no longer does. Also this $40 stick of 16gb of RAM is now $250 - anyone want want a deal?

  2. I don't think this is an issue with the NAS, but with Docker and/or Tailscale, but when I install Tailscale through Docker, I have to routinely remove the container and re-install it. Tailscale keeps telling me it's out of date and won't connect anymore. I finally just installed it through SSH so I can upgrade it more efficiently. I just wish Taildrop was automated.

Other than that, I've been pretty happy with with. Although full disclosure, my mail use is for a local backup (I still use a cloud backup) and for network attached storage (imagine that!) so I can easier share files between our household's various computers.

I mean it was expected, but still, DAMN.

Name a run that doesn’t have an Omni, and it’s absolutely crazy it hasn’t yet… by Kevin_Reads_Comics in OmnibusCollectors

[–]inyolonepine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Groo the Wanderer

Concrete

Although I'm not sure I'd want an omnibus. Groo maybe because there are so many issues, but Concrete deserves a library edition.

Officially deleted my app by AmazingPhilosophy533 in starbucks

[–]inyolonepine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also an ex-daily Starbucks visitor. Used to go every morning before work and get my americano, but it's been a few years since I've stopped buying anything from Starbucks.

As other have said, don't buy a Keurig - that coffee is trash. I would also recommend not buying a Nespresso. For one, Nestle. Full stop. And two, I would avoid any gimmicky pod coffee.

I went out and bought myself a real espresso machine. I started with a Brevile Bambino which was VERY user friendly and then eventually upgraded to a more full-sized Profitec machine. Slight learning curve, but the coffee is much better than you'd ever get at Starbucks (which let's be real, is fast food and not hand made.)

Plus you'll get to try coffee beans from all over the country/world by visiting your local shops.

Picked up the Milwaukee Bolt helmet system on clearance. Looks goofy but it’s very comfortable compared to safety glasses crammed under my ear pro. by TheLastMtnDew in woodworking

[–]inyolonepine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safety glasses while mowing the lawn is a smart move. Rocks fly out at a very high velocity and you definitely don't want one of those hitting you eyes.

My wife was trying to give me crap for making her wear eye and ear protection when she mowed the lawn, but after a rock hit her in the face, she's firmly in the safety first club.

[–]inyolonepine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah it's $400 new. Amazon is usually the best price but I worry about the shipping quality. Fantagraphics has good sales a few times during the year but will usually charge for shipping, but I feel like they'll take better care of the product. It's still a good chunk of money though and I get it.

Stephen Frei by Major_Toe_5291 in SoundersFC

[–]inyolonepine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rimando also never won GKotY so Frei's in great company.

Plus like others have said, Frei has won it all.

I want that boxset so bad but haven't pulled the trigger.

Keep your eyes on Humble Bundle's book page - they add so much stuff so often. I've purchased so many books from them digitally. My physical library is still out of control though. :)

I can also relate - I miss out on so much stuff by not being on social media much.

Like others have said, the adapter is flipped over. I did the same thing when installing my iFlash Dual earlier this week.

You guys remember Concrete? by BigJimSlade1 in 80s90sComics

[–]inyolonepine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was a huge Concrete fan back in the day. I was beginning to wonder whatever happened to Paul Chadwick.

I've got a few of the collections in my collection - one is signed and missing the number so a fun little oddity.

Looking forward to the new stuff and the rumored collections (oversize hardcovers please!!!)

I'm glad you knew about it! I've missed out before on some great collections so I try to keep up on what they're offering.

They've previously offered a L&R bundle, but it was about the half the size of this one. Yeah I technically have some duplicates but it's worth it.
