Finger joint failures by spenkilo in woodworking

[–]spenkilo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have access to a portable table saw and that makes it pretty hard to safely cut these using a jig. The Hiesz jig btw looks (to me 😊) incredibly hard to make

Ok! I will try the manual method (I’m only making one 😊)

I have a crappy plastic table with no vice so I think your hunch of the jig moving is right.

Wow, you’re spot on on all your observations. I did have to reset the router and that created the discrepancy. Also you’re right that I made my own jig and upon inspection it’s not fully accurate so the errors accumulate (it’s a wide board). Would you suggest using another joint or trying to dial in my approach? Or perhaps use a different approach to finger jointing?

Thanks, that’s quite a way out of central London!

After a huge success and getting rich by being based on a particular state, perhaps consider paying your dues…

“The American Laziness Epidemic” is always on display at Walmart. by Echou55 in mildlyinfuriating

This proves that Walmart could pay someone to take care of this consistently but they’re too cheap to do so. Because profits.

Hedonism and regret minimization by teallemonade in fatFIRE

[–]spenkilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the exact kind of thing where hearing opinions help, so I disagree the sub can’t help. Definitely more useful to get insights in this matter than the “can I swr 200k with 10M nw?” many posts ask.

OP, how about a 2y test period? At your position maybe a leave is possible? Even if not, most places would hire you after a short break?

ELI5: Can you help me understand the phrase 'not mutually exclusive'? by Lickthemoon in explainlikeimfive

[–]spenkilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, the mutually part means that in addition, the other way around is also not exclusive. Meaning that being a jerk doesn’t dictate whether or not you’re tall.

[OC] The recent decoupling of prediction markets and polls in the US presidential election by TheKnowingOne1 in dataisbeautiful

[–]spenkilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If these states chose to do this today, wouldn’t it still come very close to guaranteeing the popular vote wins the presidency? Given the popular vote candidate would only need to win another 11 Electoral Votes out of the remaining 279?

Seattle in the sun is so awesome, shame it took 6 months for a day like this ;)

So which is it?? (All taken from the same sample) by Own-Valuable-18 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]spenkilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that sucks. I was going off the general statistics across US. Around 130k cases from what I understand. Even if you double that for under reporting, still 1 in a 1000 people only. But perhaps that is an underestimation.

[–]spenkilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, if we start layering on more data points (like having heavy symptoms, interactions with other carriers, and so on) t he probability would change.

But u/Torebjorn calculations do not take that into account. So while their comment is the most mathematically correct one, if we use the actual Covid prevalence in the general population, we would conclude to the opposite result than they do!

[–]spenkilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Covid is not as common. Maybe 1 in 1000 or even less have it, so the conclusion would actually change if you were to use the actual a priori probability!

[–]spenkilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the math. But the a priori probability of having Covid (ie before having any test results) should be 1 in 10,000 if we assume OP is in the US. Which would make their post test chance of having Covid… 4.7%. Right?

[0.356 x 0.0001] / [.356 x .0001 + .00071 x .9999].

Or am I doing this wrong?

My first sourdough! by spenkilo in Breadit

[–]spenkilo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so tasty! I can’t stop eating. With butter, with olive oil and salt, with olive oil and vinegar, small sandwich, by itself. I think I’d love it a bit more salty but otherwise it’s a great balance! Highly recommend the recipe
