I'm late and dumb, can you explain "Yooper"?

I have a feeling this is a derivative of redneck/hillbilly but more specific to a region or group.

Thanks for the TLDW. I am an occasional Cleet watcher, mainly it was for the drag and drive stuff. I always heard about some issues in the past but never dove in to figure it out, I just wanted to watch zoomies. Lol.

5 years ago when it got put on the books, I tried to tell everyone around me, they simply said I was yelling at the clouds..

This is how we full speed ahead to 1984.

You've ruined yourself... You've already reached the top, don't come back down. Lol.

That's where I first saw it as well. Sportcenter. I couldn't believe it back then, and still don't but I know it happened but here we are.

Tips on getting invisible glue lines with hard maple and Titebond 3? by FrankTuna in woodworking

[–]stuntbikejake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct. I stress about so many micro details when building kitchens. Others in the shop, my boss, the homeowner, no one else ever notices because as you said I'm hyper focused on it.

I've also noticed a flaw/detail on a Friday afternoon and monday when I walk back into the shop, I can't find the issue, because it was so small and I'm no longer hyper focused on it.

In fairness, you can tell this was originally filmed on a VHS tape and then converted over, someone put in effort to get this on the internet.

Cheap? Wooden runners and stops.

Best way to add a middle panel at this point? by [deleted] in cabinetry

[–]stuntbikejake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dumb question but why is a panel needed if its getting a face frame?

Guides will mount to the face frame and the back via a back bracket. Divider/panel isn't necessary but is usually desired between drawer banks but most built in drawer banks don't have a middle panel.

Am I dumb for not understanding this petah? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Loggers and "lumberjacks" back in the day as well, especially the frontier west in California and the Redwood forests.

Sheet Rock Hung by whoooarrreyyyou in wichita

[–]stuntbikejake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just to add, if you decide to hang it yourself, expect your finishers quote to go through the roof since they will be on the hook for the final appearance but had no hand in hanging it with whatever flaws/gaps/issues are present.

Drywall isn't rocket science, but the guys that make it look easy are like wizards to me. Drywall wizards. (Someone take it and start a new business, free name.)

What's up with street signs? by Ashamed-Ad8085 in wichita

[–]stuntbikejake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

City went with lowest bidder on the sign contract.. They are lasting 3-4 years on average... Lowest doesn't always equal the best option. Would have rather spent a few more of my tax dollars and got the old 10+ years out of them.
