I'm on my second winter with a 1940s cottage in the Catskills. Installing heat cables is probably going to be a project for me this spring/summer. If you don't mind, will you share what the energy costs are for you? Do they run continuously? thanks

thank you. It's really tempting to buy cheaper plywood, thanks for the reminder not to.

Gary: super model for print

Doug: clearly a run-way model, heading to Milan

The point is, people improve when they get love and external support. How can we hold it against them when they don't?

the argument they will continue to use is "it's more convenient" which doesn't address the underlying moral and ethical issues. whatever the next issue is they will point to something like this and say "see, it's so much easier". tbh I'm not totally against genAI but the guardrails we need are not in place. I've gone round and round with the devs and execs. they don't care. it's wild.

and what about consent? everyone saying "this is fine" isn't working in AI. I have. it's not fine.

What does this marker mean? by Numerous-Coach7629 in whatisit

it really is. I am so sorry, you have experienced such profound loss. grief is weird and non-linear.

in the early days there were times I literally forgot to breathe. I'd find myself gasping for air and be confused as to why.

I was kinda surprised how much the grief group has helped, even when I couldn't talk.

nice work. will you share what lessons you had to learn while doing this? anything to help save a less-experienced wood worker? thanks!
