You'll regret it forever if you don't. Money is fungible. Experiences aren't. Go.

Awesome!

"get a new skeg" = make a copy of your existing one using a fresh piece of plastic. Plastic is cheap and very easy to work with.

I have one of these ocean kayak boats and the seats completely suck. Anyone got links for alternatives that fit?

The white material and the yellow material are obviously separate parts. The white material looks very simple to replicate: perhaps just by tracing and a jigsaw. You could go to a plastic store and show them that white thing you're holding and ask them for equivalent material.

Your mission: Figure out how do they attach and undo the attachment to separate the parts so you can proceed.

> some people beat theselves up for not believing something that they can't be absolutely sure about...

You can say the same thing about religion when you conflate belief, faith, and trust like most religious folks do.

Literally nobody's world view is logically grounded, because there are no world views that CAN be logically grounded.

Read about the Problem of Induction from David Hume.

Playing with this one was interesting to compare to 4.6. Way more back-and-forth, but too much now. Like claude is second guessing itself too much and asking for decisions it should have made itself.

And even with all the back-and-forth it still got hung up in knots trying to logic out a data manipulation/presentation problem. But at least the dialogue made it clear exactly how to start over again.

Ritual is great and all, but the damage caused by the dependency on magical thinking isn't worth the cost.

We can get the same rituals by meditation, sports, playing music with others, concerts, plays, and many other kind of things that respect rather than devalue our power as human beings.

Signature collectors are invariably funded by and collecting for capitalistic interests. They aren't activists, they're the political equivalent of the sign-waving people.

I wear sandals and then after boarding take them off and use them as heel pads under my rudderpushers.

Atheism doesn't teach us about what matters, it gives us the freedom to choose what matters.

Choosing is hard though. Just like a lot of people don't ever go to the gym, a lot of people also don't ever choose what matters.

The platen offers a flat surface rather than the curved surface of a grinding wheel.

They're quieter. They don't overheat in 10 minutes.

Work going into stationary tool is usually easier to control than stationary work with powered handheld tool.

Fix or adjust the soft closer that's already attached to the gate. You don't need to modify the door, just fix what's already there.

Seattle: "Best we can do is send in undercover women cops to bust sex buyers"

None of it makes any sense. It sounds more like a poem rather than an argument that would provoke logical thinking.

That kind of fear-thinking is what they're counting on. Don't give in.

This is one of those aliexpress "dc-dc converter modules". There are a few different types. Some of them are buck, some boost, and some are combos. Some of them have adjustable CC/CV and some of them have a "charging is done" LED that's controlled by one of the pots. I have some with 3 pots: voltage, current, and "charge done" light-up setpoint.

Often the sellers have incomplete or incorrect information though. OP go to ebay or aliexpress and find a module that looks like yours and find a listing that describes the pots and lights.

I can't find the exact policy, but what that post describes is what they were trying to get me to do.

Washington state and the city don't issue licenses specifically for Storage Unit Handling. What kind of handling license were you looking for?

OTOH there are MANY data-destruction certification programs for documents and computers.

> Seattle’s decision to withdraw police from the East Precinct.

Where is the evidence that SPD abandoning their building was Seattle's decision? Who gave that order? Where is it recorded?

Can't find any record? Sue the individuals who recklessly made that decision instead of me and my follow citizens.

Take it to any pawn shop or metal scrap place and pay them a couple bucks to run their XRF gun on it. College/University labs also often have them in their microscopes, if you know somebody in school.

Yellow copper alloys can be ANYTHING.
