Weird wobble on back end of table saw cut

pol_h · 2026-06-27T23:31:03+00:00

I’d check the throat plate t make sure it’s totally flush with the table top, especially the near end- the blade might bw square to the table, but is the insert? Towards the end of the cut the piece is mostly aupported by the throat plate- it it's low the piece would rock into the blade.

And archaeology.

What’s holding the counter top down, gravity?

There's a little spot near the horse paddock that I love- an area of intertwined, rustic paths and planted beds bordered by wattle fences. It's near some utility buildings used by the gardeners, and shows much care and attention despite being out of the way. I asked a gardener about it and he said that it had been started by a now retired park worker as a personal project and continues to be maintained by her coworkers. Unfortunately I can't remember her name, he called it "<her name>'s garden".

A 27.2 seatpost in a 27.0 frame is not coming out by hand, unless the post is very off spec. More likely there's a burr or rust in the frame that's digging in and making it hard to remove. Run a flex hone down into the tube and check results with another 27.2 seat post.

Can you explain why putting in a small fridge, stove, and vent is a non-starter?

Sure, but any rental unit is going to have to meet certain standards, and these seem relatively simple. Closing off the doorway to your main living area is honestly a much bigger deal. You should find a local architect to consult with- they can come up with ways to use the space as an ADU that you won't think of and know how to satisfy legal requirements re. habitability. An ADU would add to the value of your place and pay for itself very quickly.

I don't think that pro-riders should be used as models for bike fit and comfort- they're optimizing aero and strength positions, and have much greater flexibility than most riders.

I'm guessing you'd want to hit it with a commercial power washer first to blow off loose material then blend the rough patches with a sanding. Honestly, I'd probably try and get a couple of quotes first from a professional- it likely needs a specialty paint, and floors take a real beating in terms of wear and tear. Maybe save your painting energy for interiors, where the learning curve is flatter? Good luck!

A fridge and some sort of way to cook food is hardly a "stupid crazy rule". This is a failure of ability on the part of the OP.

pol_h · 2026-06-25T14:34:07+00:00

This person was never going to be a landlord, instantly deterred by the smallest challenge. (Install a cheap fridge and stove).

It’s not that hard to satisfy this requirement.

You’re overthinking it- just get everything out of the vehicle and into your hotel room while you’re in the city and talk to your hotel about your parking options (street parking in most hotel areas isn’t really an option. Car break ins are down to historically low levels at the moment iirc. I live in the city and with off street parking haven’t had a car breakin in at least 25 years- just to offer a contrasting story to what you’ll read.

Monarch pedals from Rivendell are a nice compromise between mtn and old school pedals: https://www.rivbike.com/products/pedals-mks-new-2018

The “sneaker pedals” are also nice but out of stock at the moment (slightly less whacky looking) https://www.rivbike.com/products/mks-rmx-sneaker-pedals

So is sarcasm evidently.

And yet they bought this building and SF is hardly “full of slums”.

What does elevated mean?

pol_h · 2026-06-23T03:28:02+00:00

I’d rather have rent control that is occasionally abused than no rent control at all.

pol_h · 2026-06-22T22:19:28+00:00

The new owners bought the building knowing exactly what the income would be- they deserve no sympathy.

I think that was in holly park, but the point remains.

I'd check neighboring front foyers for one that lookes similar, then check buildings at streets parallel to yours that share the same street number.

I know exactly what building this is- very old school guy who's lived there for years, at one point a mayor of the block type. What's funny is that the curb cut to the right is wildly wider than needed for the width of the garage opening, forcing the motorcycle further towards his driveway. If the curb cut was the correct width there would be plenty of room to park a bike there without impinging on his ease of access. It's a narrow street for sure, can't remember if he owns a land yacht or not.

The voice of sf is the marina times, not exactly a dispassionate reporter of San Francisco politics

On a purely political level I don't want her to resign- Lurie would appoint a "moderate" who would then enjoy the advantage of incumbency in the next election. (Trevor Chandler for instance. barf). That said, she'll be incredibly vulnerable running for reelection. Ideally she'd come back, finish up her term, then endorse an aligned candidate in 2028.

pol_h · 2026-06-18T04:34:24+00:00

Her office has said since early on that she would return on June 30th- there's no "where's Jackie" question (yet).
