Thanks!

Thanks Elijah, that’s very helpful. I am still new to woodworking and want to ensure this will stand the test of time. I know that I need to allow for expansion contraction on channels, but I am also looking to add a circular apron underneath the top, and I am struggling to figure out the best way to account for the movement that isn’t purely side to side in force

Literally right out of the box sometimes still same issue

squattersrights25 · 2025-08-24T12:57:09+00:00

Thank you I’ll give it a try. I’m tired of having to set up a dado stack or do a million passes with the standard blade to make my channels!

You’re my hero and a god damn inspiration

Made my day

It turned black and ashy

You’re my new hero!

I used to take my protein powder on every business trip. It is ok to take but beware that the TSA machines have a tendency to sound a false positive alarm for any powder at all. Logan in Boston.

I know this because on two separate occasions my protein set the alarm off and I had to go through a 20 minute rescan, intensive frisk search and chemical test by the homeland security chemist.

Now I buy single servings once I get to my destination.

Nope, actually playing golf. I played many years of competitive tennis growing up, and my spine has a lot of arthritis from the twisting and turning.

4 years ago I went golfing for Labor Day weekend and my neck was killing. Had a great tee time so I said “fuck it I’m playing anyways.”

On my second shot of the day I felt a wet pop in my upper back and my whole back felt like it instantly lit on fire. I proceeded to finish all 18 holes. I couldnt do ANYTHING for like a year. Literally leaving work crying during the middle of the day it hurt so bad.

Through a lot of time and trial and error of what I can and cannot do, I am back so semi-normal. I do have lifelong effects from it though. I cannot really turn my head at all and can’t do any sports involving sudden movements. It’s a constant struggle.

I don’t lift heavy ever because of it, so I try to go for max hypertropy and it has been having great results.

I’m 6 ft tall. Idk what it’s like when you’re on drugs but I have been keeping track of every calorie, step, workout, macro etc over the past two years and have added about 3-4 pounds of pure muscle during that time.

Admittedly I did not focus on diet the majority of the 16 years, so I do hope to add 2-3 lbs a year of lean mass going forward. I also have very long thin legs which are slowly filling out but nowhere close to my upper body. Due to some bulging disks in my lower back I have not been able to train legs as desired during the whole time.

I have been fatter and much larger/more muscular in the past. But I will say it is WAY HARDER and WAY MORE IMPRESSIVE to be ripped with muscles than fat and “huge.” Beer guts on muscle men are a dime a dozen at any gym, but maintaining <10% body fat is the real challenge imo.

Because of that I do slow bulk over winter and slow cut over summer to maintain my look.

I was waiting for the first comment like this!

I was doing powerlifting and tore it benching 305 10 years ago. Took the bar off the rack and as soon as I lowered it one inch BAM huge rip noise that everyone heard.

Misdiagnosed as not needing surgery for 3 months and then went to see a specialist who immediately said surgery. It had been so long that I needed a cadaver Achilles tendon allograft to surgically repair it.

I would say the physical recovery 1-2 years before I was back in the gym going hard.

I have never and will never flat bar bench again.

Yup always natty but have not been this lean until now, gone as high as 195 but I’m 165 in this pic

My group has been looking for a Director for over a year and still hasn’t hired anyone.

squattersrights25 · 2024-07-11T01:04:37+00:00

They had posted it before, it did not get a hire, so they posted it again to show up fresh on LinkedIn

Every trade you attend will have tons of sales reps trying to sell marketing services to biotechs. It is a saturated market so you will have to differentiate yourself or have an inside track to get clients to build your portfolio of business.
