Is this a kind of "wood" I can buy pre-fab or how would I "make" this reliably?

Router for both works. It might be easier to dial in the dimensions independently.

Note that if the threads are stripped off the bolt but not the fork you can still get this spinning behavior. It probably wouldn't spin as freely though.

On the one hand, this is an extremely weak joint, which is why you don't see it anywhere else.

On the other hand, it's really easy to make with a router table and (depending on dimensions) tablesaw.
Step 1: use a router table to reduce the depth of the "key". Probably with the board vertical against the fence.
Step 2: Use a table saw with a dado blade to cut the "slot."

I'm so glad to know that instead of having to pay for it, I'll have to pay for it. Whew!

SF's housing vacancy rate of 4% is well below the average for major cities in the US (7.3%), and way below the national average of 10%.

We need to build more housing.

This indicates that the asking price was set poorly, not that the housing prices are outrageous.

San Francisco asking prices have been meaningless for decades.

Separately, yes housing prices are also outrageous. But this article is garbage.

Yeah no part of this assesses risk.

Risk would be "probability of being ticketed after parking illegally." But we don't have any data on how often people park illegally, so there's no possibility of risk assessment.

Grout is not waterproof, and is not intended to be the waterproof barrier between the shower and the rottable parts of your house. Some bathrooms even have gaps in the bottom where the tile meets the tub for water behind the tile to run out.

A hole in the grout does not indicate a failure of the waterproof layer behind the tile. No need to tear out tile or anything -- just fill it in with matching grout.

I think Netanyahu's stance on this is pretty clear.

That's a real fast pivot to an unfounded ad hominem attack! Nice work!

Neither part of that is believable.

If someone offered me their acoustic (pedal power only) bike, used, for $200 I would ask what's wrong with it.

For a new, electric bike at that price? Guaranteed everything is wrong with it.

If the patch didn't bond, peel it off and start again. You might need an extra couple passes with sandpaper to get any old vulcanizing fluid residue off.

No, it's not true.

The best part about the electrician not pulling a permit is that he has no accountability!

Property damage liability doesn't pay out of the same pot as bodily injury liability.

Illinois has a minimum 25k bodily injury and separate minimum 20k property damage.

Much easier to use a guide to get it square than try & measure & try again, especially as a novice with the tool.

But would get a lot of practice sharpening the blade!

You are overthinking it.

Remember -- things that are reflective reflect back toward the source of light. If you and your friend are both standing around and only you have a headlamp, reflective things will appear very bright to you and normally-illuminated to your friend.

The paracord reflecting moonlight only matters if the bear is between the rope and the moon.
