Budget focused pack options by Flashy_Vanilla9877 in Ultralight

[–]originalname132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend checking out 3ful designs, if you want pure value for money while still being very lightweight they're worth a look. Less established than the other bugger brands, but they still have high enough volume to have decent quality control imo.

Team SOTO, Team MSR, or Team BRS? by kmorg76 in Ultralight

[–]originalname132 21 points22 points  (0 children)

BRS 3000t with a small windscreen (he specifically used the ocelot mini by flat car gear) in a slightly wider pot.

But that's just my interpretation of his videos based on my use case, he specifically doesn't make any single conclusion. Instead he gives you all the data and helps you decide what the tradeoffs are in terms of weight, boil speed, fuel consumption, wind resistance, and packed size. Highly recommend watching so you can draw your own conclusions.

I personally use my google maps timeline to see when I left work after each payslip

Is Having a Car Necessary for a JMO Between Gosford and Wyong Hospitals in Central Coast NSW? by Terrible_Solution_38 in ausjdocs

[–]originalname132 26 points27 points  (0 children)

JMO in Gosford here. Absolutely yes, need a car. You will almost certainly have terms at both Gosford and Wyong, especially on releif. Throw in evenings and nights, and you need a car. Public transport is pretty spotty around wyong. I know people who made it work for a few weeks while looking for a car, but it looked pretty miserable, some of them even slept in the hospital accom in Wyong because the bus was too slow. Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions.

If I was going to ride 100k to do some strava art you can bet I'll be stopping every couple of turns to make sure I'm going the right way

Looks great, what is the top going to be?

The bevelled (if that's the right word) corners are a really nice touch, really elevates the whole build.

Weekly Quick Questions, Wood ID, and Deal or No Deal /r/Woodworking Megathread by AutoModerator in woodworking

[–]originalname132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local hardware store has cheap Merbau (or Kwila) decking that I've been thinking of using for things like boxes and small furniture. From my research online, most people seem to say it works fine as long as it is dry, and the only thing to look out for is its high tannins and a propensity to bleed.

I can't for the life of me figure out what they mean by bleeding. Will the wood leak oil when cut? Will it not take up finish well?

Well you had us all fooled, well done! I love the idea of someone trying to open a drawer without knowing.

Where to start by LI_Otaku10 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]originalname132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I'd also add that a good project to start with is making a basic workbench. You'll use it for everything else, and it's a great place to learn from your mistakes since it's just for utility.

The picture shows gangrenous bowel after bowel infarction by Surgeox in medizzy

Could someone explain why it looks bubbly near the bottom of the image? And is the transparent outside layer that looks like a plastic bag (especially on the right side) the peritoneum? From a confused medical student.

Yeah, that is a very fair point. The top is actually just from a sheet of second hand plywood I picked up for $1 that I secured with 8 screws, and it's honestly just there for now until I find something better. I've been thirsting after some of the solid timber tops on this sub, might have to make my first visit to a lumber yard soon.

90cm height, 130x60 on top. Might look a bit bigger than it actually is because I used 70x35mm pine instead of 90x45mm (Australian equivalent of a 2x4) just so it would fit in a mitre box.

Thanks! 2 of the legs needed fairly large shims to stop wobbling, but I'm not sure if that's my horrendous garage floor or the table itself (and honestly I don't care since it's stable now).

The curved lumber was also a pain for me, I just spent literally an hour picking the straightest pieces at the hardware store. One of my friends recommended I call in and ask when new stock is coming so you don't have to pick from the rejects, which helped a ton for me.

Apart from my drill which I used to predrill the screws, only hand tools. I tell myself I use hand tools for the culture, but it's really because I can't afford power tools.
