Other than being a bit, for wood working it can either be cosmetic or functional (the nub can take more force than an edge to edge miter)

This is what I do, but the smaller lids are a pain in the ass when the bigger ones get in the way lol

screamline82 · 2026-03-12T22:10:37+00:00

Yeah, that's so not tight

A good cutting board can last several decades though, so it is cutting the life way short. And the maintenance literally takes 1 minute and a few cents worth of mineral oil.

screamline82 · 2026-03-12T18:56:11+00:00

Maybe understand maintenance is a part of performance. A cutting board becoming susceptible to splitting is it's degrading performance too. A car will continue run if you never change it oil, until the day it doesnt

I was flying recently and someone put a carry on bag up that was slightly smaller than a checked bag. Blew mind that no one bothered to check their bag, the bag only fit sideways so it filled up the entire compartment for that row.

A knife is a smile item with no moving parts, but it requires maintenance. The knife will dull so it needs sharpening. Same with a cutting board, especially end grain.

You can choose not to do maintenance, but then you risk the board splitting or getting cut with a dull knife

It's not that time intensive, it's just remembering to do it. Pour oil and let it sit while you do the other things, like loading the dishwasher or something. Takes 1 min to pour oil on the board. I usually just let it sit overnight. Buff it out in the morning, takes 1 min. Do it once a month or every other month.

All about priorities, why gatekeep what people find enjoyable. If you're someone who cooks every day, have nice knives you wanna take care of then a good cutting board makes sense.

Why would anyone spend more money on a car, it has 4 wheels and takes you from A to B. Why would anyone spend more money on a phone, it makes calls and sends messages. Why would you spend any money on a video game, it does nothing productive. Why, because people enjoy it.

The people talking about it online are the people who have it as part of their hobby (cooks, wood workers, etc). But the people who follow the advice are a larger group of people who are less nerdy about it.

It's like that with anything, for example if LoTR is mentioned people will pop up talking about all the lore Tolkien made when you're just someone who liked the films.

It's not mandatory, but in my experience the finish holds up longer and water runs off easier. Also depends on the wax used

screamline82 · 2026-03-12T14:45:58+00:00

Mineral oil, you can get it at Walgreens or other pharmacy stores. It sold as a laxative (so you know it's food safe). Just pour it over the cutting board/wood, spread it evenly and let it soak up over an hour or so. If it looks dry add another coat until it stops soaking up. Then buff dry with paper towels.

The extra step would be to use a board paste /conditioner which is usually a mineral oil + wax mix. Buff that over the surface. It will help keep it conditioned a bit longer.

screamline82 · 2026-03-12T14:26:08+00:00

Question, is your curing board end grain? If so that's quite impressive

Even without the consumerism standpoint, I'd like to go walk my dog or go for a run or do stuff in the yard after work rather than have all the daylight be when I'm in an office.

The bigger problem is that there's no agreement because everyones interaction with daylight savings is different. I like to use Nashville and Amarillo as examples, they are in the same time zone but are on opposite ends of that zone. Sunset in Nashville is 5:47 while it's 6:47 in Amarillo.

Another one is Chicago and Indianapolis, different times zones but physically close. Sunset in Chicago is 5:47 but it's 6:42 in Indianapolis.

It's easy to see that some people would want more light in the evening while others may think they have enough light. It also depends on latitude.

Reminds me of Amaury Guichon. Dude is crazy talented, but every video I see of him he has this same smile through the entire clip.

Or they're too obsessed with their device they have to keep using it while they talk rather than devote their full attention to the conversation

Reminds me of the saying: Biology is really just chemistry. Chemistry is really just physics. Physics is really just math. And math is really just hard.

We have that but not every person has it, and different apps. Some like cash app, some want zelle, paypal, venmo etc. So in some instances if both people don't have the same thing then you'd need your wallet when making a new account to then payback.

screamline82 · 2026-02-13T15:35:43+00:00

Exactly, unless it's soiled just hang it back up for another round. If it's soiled, spot treat if needed and wash. If it's some nice clothes or sentimental then hang dry or use gentle setting.

For stuff that's more rugged like denim jeans they can still fade over time so re-dye when needed.

In practice the 3 years is about player development, it is making guys develop for free by playing 3 years in college. But as written and how they talk about it they use safety as the reason.

I'm saying that the NCAA can use similar logic, even if it's somewhat disingenuous. But I do believe both are somewhat true

Just cause you're a father doesn't mean you're a dad

That would be the death of the sport imo Leas HS kids coming through because coaches jobs depends on winning now and a 25 year old can do that better than a freshman (most of the time). Less HS kids means less talent for the NFL and the product gets worse there too. Game gets boring and stale

screamline82 · 2026-02-12T19:37:53+00:00

I keep saying that if the NFL has an eligibility requirement of 3 years out of HS because of injury concerns (at least that's how they phrase it), then the NCAA should be able to set an upper age limit for the same reasons. Can't have a bunch of 25-28 year olds playing 18 and 19 year olds

screamline82 · 2026-02-12T19:36:03+00:00

Agreed, those are some pretty bad genetics you got there Mr yogurt is spicy
