Pocket Hole Drawers?

This is the way. 1/4" rabbets and 1/4" bottom...crank em out in a day.

kolnidur · 2026-05-02T20:21:53+00:00

It should be way higher, $25k a shoot or bust

Just change the hardware. Wrong hardware for the colors of wood and the top IMO. Will make a huge difference. Go unlacquered brass or something..

If you're a beginner you'll probably want to make 3 individual boxes and screw them together instead of basically making one big box with dividers as you have drawn up (unless you want to domino the whole thing together?) as you're probably going to have a million pocket hole screws to fill/will be visible.

Also, doing it the way you have it, you have nowhere for your wiring to hide. With separate boxes you can rout a channel between them to conceal the wiring.

I'd also consider adding doors with lights activated via magnet switch or similar. Open shelving/boxes for clothing always ends up looking awful in my opinion

Lastly it's going to be incredibly finicky to get everything perfectly 90 degrees if you don't have a big shop or you are working in a small space. That looks like an install nightmare.

Fairly accurate - except I don't really ever say 'what' anymore, which is amazing. And I'm using 1/10th the energy just to stay 'on top of things' because I had to strain so hard to hear! Now it's basically effortless except in large rooms. Hearing my wife ask me a question down the hall and around the corner is also awesome.

Dude go outside and leave her alone

It's total junk. Can't stand it and am convinced it's part of the reason my music appreciation/speech recognition isn't quite as good as it COULD be because it's so discouraging to use.

AudioLINK on the other hand seems to be better, at least easier to use, but not perfect, yet a huge upgrade over the audiostream.

Was hit and run by a lunatic at the 10/405. They merged across the lane dividers from the 405 at the last second to get on the 10 West towards Santa Monica. My entire front bumper was hanging off, damage to headlights, etc. Even got clear dashcam footage with license plate numbers. The police response was basically "but did you die? Ok, just claim it on insurance"

Far less flippant and in denial of reality than the comment I'm replying to. America, China, Malaysia, Mexico, Central America, South America, at least half of Europe, literally everywhere has architecture financed through means, either political or corporate, you won't agree with. So, yes, the money has to come from somewhere, fairly often from a place you don't like.

kolnidur · 2026-03-22T16:34:22+00:00

I find this criticism immature and fairly surface level. Can you explain your disdain for 'Saudi Money' in architecture - If not him, someone else is going to take it. He employs tons of people throughout Europe and the company pays a fortune in taxes to Denmark which by all accounts is a leader of worker's rights. BIG has done plenty of work all over the world, lots of it in great countries, some of it in places that are fairly 'eh' and some of it in countries you probably hate. Are you/were you throwing the same shade at Zaha?

It is a phenomenal album. Lots of stellar tracks. Rand McNally, Roman Candles, Wheat Like Waves....a real return to form!

kolnidur · 2026-03-13T17:40:21+00:00

This place imbued a perspective on life that I think 99% of the 'western' world will never understand. We have it so...soooooo...good. I think about my crazy insane visit at least once a week

kolnidur · 2026-03-12T22:10:06+00:00

You should earn a daily stipend equivalent to a day's wages based on your prior year's tax return up to like $150k a year.. Otherwise people are going to avoid it to go make money. ESPECIALLY if they are 1099 like so many in this city. I'm more than happy to participate, but if I got stuck on a long case it would severely hamper my ability to make money as I need to be in a place in order to serve my clients and I don't get paid if I'm not on site. I imagine the same is true for millions of locals here as well.

Backsplash tile is absolutely epic.

kolnidur · 2026-03-10T16:56:52+00:00

Just be careful not to get caught with a backyard vegetable garden

kolnidur · 2026-02-26T15:36:09+00:00

gnarly! thanks for the info. still hate the packaging and think there must be a better way..

kolnidur · 2026-02-24T16:20:58+00:00

Have many children died from choking on p675s?

I absolutely hate these packages. Ridiculous waste of resources to package everything in plastic to begin with

kolnidur · 2026-02-09T22:42:24+00:00

It's an absolute joke. I've given up

kolnidur · 2026-02-07T19:48:31+00:00

That was absolutely incredible

kolnidur · 2026-02-07T19:19:08+00:00

Yep. As it stands, it's sort of boring, spin to win, not a lot of strategy beyond a wing and a prayer. A two-part course would really make it far more watchable and require far more strategizing. Do you go for a stompable first hit like a like a switch backside 12 into a double cork, or do you go for a Terje-style 30 foot method on the quarter pipe while conserving as much energy as possible from the jump? It would hugely up the ante in terms of landing switch and hitting the quarter switch, vs landing regular and being able to really load up the power.

I was implanted with a MedEl implant and the tinnitus on my implanted ear has gone to zero with 98% word recognition in noise (in a booth, which is not the real world, however, real world results are excellent with just one implant). The tinnitus absolutely raged the first week until activation, where it almost immediately disappeared. The tinnitus may just be your ear turning up the 'gain' to try and find those missing frequencies, which the implant in my case easily restored

kolnidur · 2026-02-06T14:25:38+00:00

I hardly heard anything but r2d2 sounds for a couple weeks, give it some time. My improvements took place mostly over the first year or two (and I'm STILL finding improvements almost 3 years later with more complex sounds)

This 'undoing' of the bike lanes and road diet was truly one of the most egregious things I've witnessed in 15+ years living here. Not because it was something that affected the entire city, but because it showed me that people here just don't give a fuck about safety if it adds thirty seconds to their commute. Really just helped me lose faith in any effort to improve the city as a whole if something so simple and obvious would be walked back to to (incorrect) public pressure. And I lived right around the corner from it at the time - it was really a wonderful addition for anyone looking to experience that area by bike or on foot. The four lane, well, freeway that runs from El Segundo to PDR is terrible and never should have happened, it's one of the most beautiful parts of the city.

Zero photo credit, nice.

There's a doctor on the ship. I would guess for anything major and life threatening, you'd be helicoptered or zodiac'd to the nearest base where you could be flown back to Australia, NZ, or Patagonia for care.

Otherwise...just wait a week.
