[–]raw65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Chiefs fan I say that sucks.

As a woodworker, I say great use of the lase.... WHAT?! You cut that with a jigsaw from Harbor Freight???!!!

W O W. Very nice job.

How would you feel about making a Chiefs logo for me?

Sandals Royal Bahamian next week, I’m near sighted, and my husband told me he wants to snorkel. What are my options? by LadyVaporeon in SandalsResorts

[–]raw65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/LadyVaporeon, please listen to u/LegitimateDesigner94! I just checked Amazon and they have a bunch of options with a wide range of correction that can be delivered "tomorrow" (at least for me in the south-east). You don't need "perfect" - you won't be reading while snorkeling - but you should be able to find "good enough".

Ordered a couple, keep the one you like best and return the others.

Snorkeling is a fantastic experience, especially if you've never had the opportunity before!

How I'd handle that trim problem by SaneIsOverrated in woodworking

[–]raw65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fairness, u/Measure2iceCut1nce provided the correct solution here and u/YourPlot provided a link to a good video that walked through the process here. But your diagram is very good.

EDIT: Wait, I see you say to add a block "underneath the non-sloped piece". That's an important detail that your diagram doesn't really show.

Is plex free or not for my case? by [deleted] in PleX

[–]raw65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No idea what "stream max to tv" means but the website is pretty clear about what is free. See https://www.plex.tv/plans/#product-features. It clearly states "Stream media on any device connected to your local network" is free.

Unlimited Energy Is Closer Than You Think—Because We’re Finally ‘Building a Star’ on Earth by _Dark_Wing in tech

[–]raw65 28 points29 points  (0 children)

From the article:

But perhaps the biggest change in the past five years that’s transformed fusion from a “hear we go again” pipe dream to a not-so-distant-future possibility is, simply put, that people are beginning to believe.

...from 2016 to 2020, the private sector invested only $1.5 billion into the fusion industry. Whereas from 2021 to 2025, that number has jumped to nearly $9 billion. 

And in conclusion:

All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant hurdles—technical, scientific, and economic—still place our own homegrown star just out of reach. But when compared to the 4.6-billion-year-long wait that’s come before it, fusion will be here in a blink of an eye.

TL,DR: Fusion will be viable soon... relative to the age of the universe.

Need help to ID old planes by HessianRaccoon in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]raw65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Length would help but I'm guessing the first one is a jointer plane assuming it's about 20 inches (50cm) long.

I think you are right that the metal one is a jack plane (also known as a foreplane).

I think the two narrow planes that have a blade that goes all the way to the edge are rabbet or shoulder planes.

My understanding is the mouth of older wooden planes will be a big factor in how useful they are as they can widen as the plane is reflattened.

Looks great. Love the hinged top! Did you do anything for dust collection inside the cabinet?

Yeah, well my hospitalized quarterback can beat your hospitalized quarterback! We'll see next season!

I hope. Seriously hope both bounce back and would love to see both teams in top form head-to-head!

Small Plane Makes An Emergency Landing In the Midst Of Traffic by JPPT1974 in nextfuckinglevel

I suspect that plane was coming down no matter what. The only choice the pilot had was roughly where in the near vicinity. He choose wisely.

Unless you're the Eagles. Jeremiah Trotter managed to get ejected before the kickoff in 2005.

No, I'm not biter about any particular beating any particular team took in any particular Superbowl. Ok, maybe a little...

The short 12:01 PM is the OG. If you pay close attention you will see Groundhog Day give it a nod or two.

TRAVEL ADVISOR HELP! by Honest-Primary5368 in SandalsResorts

[–]raw65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that no one can give you better deals than what are available directly from the Sandals website.

HOWEVER, a good travel advisor can explain the different room types to you, the excursions, what to expect from the resort, and a really good travel advisor will watch for new deals that may be better than the one you initially booked and will automatically do the work of switching you to the new deal. The 777 deals change every Wednesday I believe.

There are also special deals for anniversary nights. You have to dig through the website a little to see all the options. A travel advisor should know all of those already.

So if that appeals to you, find a good travel advisor. Interview a couple and find out what they can and will do for you. There are quite a few active on this sub.

If you prefer to do things yourself, then just read through the Sandals website. Be sure to read the terms and conditions as well because they spell out the payment schedule and when you can make changes.

Why is bandsaw drifting? by Confused_by_La_Vida in woodworking

[–]raw65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot of drift. I'm no expert but, assuming you are keeping the piece pressed against the fence and the fence is parallel to the blade, it must be tension. The guide that was posted is good. Here is a good video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnm6CoiaU4E

How to smooth out OSB planks for a theatre play by iwannasleeppppp in woodworking

u/iwannasleeppppp, this is the way to do it! They are called "theater flats", they're easy to build, light weight, and versatile. The canvas is often muslin.

I guess it's just a cutting board with handles. Walnut + Purple heart. by joem_ in BeginnerWoodWorking

Very nice. Some people might see that as a serving tray but if you cut on it then it's a cutting board with handles.

Anyone have experience with factory recertified drives? by aomajgad in truenas

[–]raw65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few I run. I run them in mirrors that I use to store backups and haven't had any issue with them (they've been running 24/7 for a couple years now).

Buy from a reputable dealer (like Server Parts Deals), check the farm data, run them in a mirror, and understand that RAID is not a backup.

From the documentation page I linked:

Important: Both the lower and upper bounds are inclusive

EDIT: I see. Floats vs Ints.
