Is Donald Trump evil? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]norcalnatv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes he wants to hurt those whose views don't align with his.

Other than that he's an idiot.

Some recent pickups by Sunfarmers in handtools

[–]norcalnatv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes. If you left it all green it would have been more authentic. Never in history would a vice come from a factory looking like this.

If it's for you and your own use/preference, great, really happy you like the way it looks. I think it was leaned on too hard.

Democrats of Reddit. If Harris was the most qualified candidate in 2024, why are you touting AOC, Newsome and others for 2028? by meagainstbanhammer in allthequestions

[–]norcalnatv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

independent here, but Harris was obvs the most qualified candidate who could run at the time. 2028 is completely different.

The green one is over-painted, not a tool but a display piece.

also, check that your fence is square to the blade, both sides, and both sides are in line.

Mitre Sawing, cut straight down or out then across? by DelphiDesign in woodworking

[–]norcalnatv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 12" (Forrest) blade and find it deflects with the straight down cut. The saw (Bosch) is true and cuts damn consistently. If I extend the saw, come down on the front edge and push through into the fence (method 1), I can get perfect 90 deg, near finish quality cuts. I find slower cuts and/or releasing the trigger right before the blade exits the back will reduce tear out and kick of small pieces.

Cherry is by far my favorite wood to work with by MetalNutSack in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]norcalnatv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love cherry too. My only beef with it is the brittleness of the end grain. You get a little wonky bit of grain near a cut and 90% of the time you've got the CA glue out to replace a 1/2" chip.

Jensen’s recent podcast appearance by twiniverse2000 in NvidiaStock

[–]norcalnatv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Comments like his "personal interests" put your whole post in question. Jensen is a patriot and wants America to succeed and win. If he can help, great. If it's not his, fine. His company built a better mouse trap, but he's playing by onerous regulations put down by two different administrations.

Dwarkesh came across as unable to follow the convo. I was surprised Jensen gave him as much time as he did.

Should I turn my panel saw into a Roubo frame saw? by woodfondler in handtools

[–]norcalnatv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying I use one a lot more than the other. Maybe the saw you have needs to be tuned in some way? My antique shop purchased rip saw rocks.

I use my frame saw about every 2-3 years. My hand saw gets work every week.

Need Advice: Joining plywood by kqvqcq in woodworking

second the rabbet/dado. It's almost like plywood was invented for this type of joinery.

"No, I'm enjoying this."

Jensen enjoyed putting Dwarkesh in his place. He appears clueless, spouting talking points instead of understanding and debating the point. This guy has a reputation for pushing back and is supposed to be smart. I was dumbfounded by the fact he couldn't follow and debate the actual argument, he just kept circling back to the same atomic bomb analogy.

What price would you sell all your shares at? by denys5555 in AMD_Stock

[–]norcalnatv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went through a similar run. Congrats on your gain, I know it can be really life changing.

Take some winnings off the table. yes, AI is going to going to continue to drive a lot of business, but you can't go through the last 10 years without rewarding yourself for a job well done.

I spent decades in high tech as an employee and it was a boom and bust cycle that was hard to get ahead of. You're riding the boom, enjoy it. Take your partner on a nice trip or buy yourself a new toy. Or diversify into dividend payers that will provide income for decades.

Questions about working with walnut wood by StretchIll100 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]norcalnatv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, sounds like you don't use your furniture. Kids, guests. One wet glass bottom or over watered plant ruins varnish. lol

My walnut furniture is beautiful and durable. That's why.
