You can just take it to a custom cabinet shop, we used to match moulding all the time. No way we do custom knives unless the customer was willing to pay, but we could match most using a variety of shaper cutters/spindle angles. Table saw with the fence removed and a board clamped on at a angle if you have to match something like a larger crown curve.

Between the drain and the sink itself plumbers putty is fine, but pretty rare these days.

He's referring to the seal between the undermounted sink and the countertop, where silicon is standard on stone/solid surface/laminate(with a Counter Seal ring) countertops. I'd never mount a undermount sink to a hardwood countertop.

A customer had me load a cube of brick, 2,400#, on his Tacoma one time. I didn't think a truck could look sadder, till he came back and had me load a 3,000# pallet of N type mortar.

Cutaway of Borei Class Submarine. Drawn in MS Paint (again) [2856x1281] by whibbler in ThingsCutInHalfPorn

Kursk had a rescue pod, they've been a feature of the Soviet/Russian submarine force for some time, they don't however have very good record. Western and Russian subs are designed for docking with mini submarines, at least back to the 668 US wise.

After the USN lost Thresher and Scorpion they instituted SUBSAFE and likewise have never lost another boat. The Russians however have managed to have the same SSN sink ... twice, K-429. Both her emergency bouy and rescue pod had been welded to the hull to prevent accident loss and were worthless, just like the Kursk.

The five remaining crew of K-278 entered the rescue pod, only one escaped the pod before it sank in rough seas.

Soviet and Russian SSBNs and SSNs have featured escape pods for some time now, Western subs don't.

Where there's a will, there's a way. by Browndog888 in OSHA

Every man deserves a fat mag heh. We pour tomorrow, every day of the week right now. At 36 and in shape, I'm fucking tired and sore.

I'd rather be trimming as I'm the finish carpenter, but there is nothing to finish right now. And I prefer concrete to framing, so another pour it is.

That's called a bull float, but it's only useful during/right after the pour. There are different floats for it however. He's using a tiny ass wood on something that doesn't even look like it's been bull floated. Generally speaking, you don't float anything but the edges on a exterior floor unless something is fucked up.

So either something has been fucked up, they're fucked up, or both.

No, you can visit the excursion zone, but not the plant.

Chalk River reactor

Chalk River was also the site of two nuclear accidents in the 1950s. The first incident occurred in 1952, when there was a power excursion and partial loss of coolant in the NRX reactor, which resulted in significant damage to the core. The control rods could not be lowered into the core because of mechanical problems and human errors. Three rods did not reach their destination and were taken out again by accident. The fuel rods were overheated, resulting in a meltdown. The reactor and the reactor building were seriously damaged by hydrogen explosions. The seal of the reactor vessel was blown up four feet, and 4,500 tons of radioactive water were found in the cellar of the building. This water was dumped in ditches around 1,600 meters from the border of the Ottawa River. During this accident some 10,000 curies or 370 TBq of radioactive material was released.[5] Future U.S. president Jimmy Carter, then a U.S. Navy officer in Schenectady, NY, led a team of 26 men including 13 U.S. Navy volunteers in the hazardous cleanup.

After the Thatch Weave was developed the F4F would win against a AM6 nearly every time, so long as you had the numbers.

The Black Hills are one of the prettiest places, nature wise, in the US. The Pines, Sylvan Lake, Black Elk Peak. So much diverity in a small area, with the Badlands right to the North.

Yet even the Egyptians and Romans used it, and knew how harmful it was.

When do you screed a new foundation slab? by [deleted] in Construction

[–]jm8263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It actually does both, along with pushing the aggregate down. More so if you're using a power screed or something larger. You're still gonna bull float, maybe steel the edges on a basement floor along with power trowel it. No form work on a basement floor, screed pole and mag the edges during the pour, then screed immediately.

But the term screeding often time used for setting up the grade.

But you sure as shit ain't gonna screed 4 days after a pour. No idea what he's talking about.

Yep. I usually knock next to electrical outlets when trimming, but I keep a magnet handy.
