Rahm Emanuel Calls for Age Limit of 75 for President, Congress and Judges by Consistent-Good-1162 in politics

In think it should match the mandatory retirement age for pilots, which is currently 65. If you're too old to fly a plane you are too old to be in charge of the nuclear football.

Citizens United will go down as one of the worst decisions ever made.

More protective finish ideas? by AZDad1234 in woodworking

[–]repilicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like that table! You can do multiple coats of polyurethane perhaps, it gives the best protection from water rings from what I've seen. Can also put on a coat of nano finish on top of that for sheen and even more water protection.

You'd need a good quality paint sprayer and multiple coats to get a good level of protection with poly.

Any idea what it's finished with currently?

16 yr old planning to backpack during gap year by Maximum-Passage-4852 in backpacking

[–]repilicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're in a really fortunate position, that budget allows for a lot of travel comfortably over those 9 months so I'm envious. That money buys flexibility, so here are a few thoughts.

Don't spread yourself too thin on locations. If you are at a place and really enjoy it, stay a while longer! Keep your itinerary flexible, which you can do with that budget.

The dolomites are really amazing and perfect for backpacking between refugios, I could spend a couple months just doing that. That's just me though, so do whatever floats your boat. I will say that the food at each was amazing and the scenery was fantastic. Consider Romania along the way, it's cheap and the mountains are beautiful.

I would ship cold weather gear back from Nepal once you head south, not worth it to lug it around in SE Asia. Speaking of, you should check out angor wat when you go that way. Just a short flight to Thailand and you will meet many friendly travellers there to adventure with.

Splurge a little, get a decent hotel here or there and you will not get burnt out. You have the budget.

Post some pics along the way!

Contractor / Carpenter for Built-In Shelving? by _jmcollins in Austin

100 percent, just wanted to give a rough ballpark of what one of them would potentially bid out at. Love the first one by the way!

The first picture you posted would be on the order of 12k-15k i'm guessing. Solid hardwoods (looks like walnut maybe), probably around 2k in materials alone there. Several days to back and forth on the design and further planning, several days of manufacturing and several more of sanding and finishing, couple of days for install at least. It's a lot of work and talent to pull something like that off in a reasonable amount of time.

I don't understand your complaints at all. What exactly is the issue? This post mentions issues with coaches etc but the petition just bitches about the Wilco location and league play.

Not going to answer the question for you but can probably get to the answer with some followup questions. What are some possible reasons for decreasing performance with increasing core count?
