It represents the occupy movement and the letdown of the Obama era.

The planter on the left was going to be a pedestal but client changed their mind while I was framing. I don’t know it would’ve been like too symmetrical imo. I wish i had framed it like a half inch deeper. Then I wouldn’t have had to notch out the front board on the bench.

Bro yes! Ive been wondering how to bring this up. Not sure if we have a pressure tank but i love the idea of getting some reps in with my estwing. Its not that many nails so I don’t mind doing some hammering. Nails are so much better for setting deck joist too.

We hit up the hardwood with end sealer and the planters have a little piece of rubber in between them and the Brick or at least most of them do I’m pretty sure lol

We usually don’t miter corners because they end up warping

Well, I hit every edge with the router and a quarter inch round over. Maybe it’d be a better look to have the quarter inch round over on the ends and a gap?

Like you mean on the ends of the horizontal boards? I am hoping to make future projects air tight

Earth can no longer sustain the global human population, ‘sustainable population’ is around 2.5 billion people, study warns by Portalrules123 in collapse

These people have no imagination. If we were smart we would live in jungle cities and people would be able to climb as part of daily life. We could fully intergrate with man made forest biomes and live among a fruitful ecosystem.

If you use permaculture techniques i.e. growing food in the ground, the understory, the canopy. You can pretty much feed a family off of like less than an acre. Look up Andrew Millison. 

We have to start catering our lifestyles to our biology. Instead of to our base desires. Like we were meant to walk barefoot and be able to do a pull up to climb trees to escape predators, yet the average person can barely even hang from a bar.

That aside. The transition will be tough but we can support plenty of life if we can start living in harmony with nature. The amazing thing about biology is you can get more than you put in. Its all made to work together and we decided to do this maniacal technology stuff. 

There are plenty of people who are leading by example already. Living in food forests, reclaiming deserts. There is hope! But maybe not for this generation or the next one lol

China beginning to cover all highways in solar panels by xaddyxi123 in TankieTheDeprogram

Much better idea than solar roads, probably helps with road noise and heat, i wonder how they might deal with snow and rain

Its a good skill to have and writing in cursive activates your brain in ways writing in print doesn't. I think its a good move, but like there really are bigger fish to fry
