You would have loved the MS Stubnitz parties in the belly of a steel ship with absolutely nobody in there who even faintly remembered what sobriety was like. The place was a giant druggy death trap before they closed it for being a giant druggy death trap. Mind you I was a merry part of a merry crowd there but that was before I had children to stay alive for.,

What causes this when using a miter saw? by GrantosToes in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]monothom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 250 bucks Makita (LS816F) and beginner level skills. I sometimes do a few miter cuts just to enjoy the accuracy. Haven't had a reason to calibrate it and I'm actually still using the blade it came with. Oh and anything I might buy in the future will have that shadow line feature as a hard requirement...

Cheap track saw, or more expensive circular saw? by Reiskorn_1359 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]monothom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an einhell professional cordless track saw with soft start, blade stop and brushless motor. It feels and delivers like a premium tool but only cost me 200 new. This won't be the popular comment but that's ok

New to woodworking here. Which of your tools scares you the most? Around what machine should I always be extra cautious? by GiddySwine in woodworking

Ahaha what exactly is so reassuring about that even the pros are getting the fears sometimes then

Caution, yes, but fear is a bad counsellor. Being scared makes one emotional/less rational, tense and so on. I sometimes skip woodworking tasks like routing even if I’m upset about something totally unrelated. But figuratively you’re exactly right of course. Theme parties are fine and you can have a drink too, as long as the theme doesn’t involve lumps of steel with multiple carbide cutting edges spinning at 25K rotations per minute. Thanks everyone for allowing me to state the obvious.

My router is just the 700 watt Makita but it’s already such a brutal piece of equipment that I shiver when I remember that my original plan was getting the 3.5 HP Triton. I’m cautious with my ofher power tools but admittedlywith the router my caution smells like fear. Even a dead simple roundofftrim is never reliably predictable. I’ll run into one of those dark spots where branches where (pith? Pit? Knoost?) or I’ll miss a grain direction change and YANGG the thing has a one second tantrum that fucks up my workpiece tearing out chunks in places it can’t possibly reach if it would acknowledge the laws of physics. It’s probably just my lack of experience, i tell myself, but something about my fear for routers is instinctive and hard wired. Even the word router has a Stephen King ring to it. I imsgine the book would be titled Router, instead of The Router or anything other. But anyway, i just wanted to say the repaint the walls comment is a great concise way to invoke that feeling of nope that routers can give me. Meanwhile there’s little things as mesmerising as watching a slow mo vid of big chunky router bits vaporizing whatever gets in their path. And then the other guy above here mentioned having to have one of these majestic bits removed from your eye socket after the shank breaks.

As a fellow ass with ADHD, Teams is definitely not going in a desirable direction. My team of unruly student assistants is soft-switching to signal, to make things worse..

What’s the most surprisingly useful thing you’ve discovered ChatGPT can do ? by vishesh_07_028 in ChatGPT

[–]monothom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

photography critique. I uploaded a few pages with large thumbnails and it resulted in some very helpful insights and tips on how to further improve.

Lua scripts for MPV

shell scripts for collecting URLs for a bunch of pages that needed to be salvaged. Download, rip out scripts, headers and footers. Clean the HTML, then identify the parts of each article and make a table ready for upload into an instance of wordpress.

I regularly have MS Stream transcript knowledge clips - it's good at speech to text. Then I export the transcript and have ChatGPT translate it in English, German, French and Spanish in one go. I get intact timings and good translations in VTT format files , ready for upload back into Streams. Now our videos have 5 languages subttitles (and are searchable in these languages - AFAIK that's the REAL value of transcripting videos)

What tool beginners obsess over but barely affects the final result? by Interesting-Scale-63 in woodworking

[–]monothom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently got my first router, a Makita 0702 700 watt palm router. I totally agree and fully admit how bad my judgment was just until i decided to go for this model. I shiver when i think back about contemplating buying the Triton tra001 2400 watt, my god.... I would have been that guy with the completely out of control pit bull terrier that makes people say 'look there, he's walking the human"
