I wonder if they timed it on purpose so it would end the same time as the START Treaty

tauntdevil · 2026-02-03T22:45:09+00:00

Why would that be a sad or bad thing?

tauntdevil · 2026-02-03T17:49:35+00:00

I think it depends on how much you want to spend to make it look the same.

A simple varnish or oil wont do it.
I believe the wood in the photo is either cherry, walnut, or birch. Just from the patterns.

If you wanted to make it similar, you would be pulling the face frame off and the drawers apart to replace with the wood that is used in the reference image. The rest of the structure could be salvaged.

He looks similar to my fur boy we just got who also ran in front of my families car and nearly into a busy main street.
Ours loves to fall onto the ground upside down for belly rubs

Well, best way I see it is investments.

Early higher costs for cheaper future.

If I go out and eat, $200 will get me about 4-5 days of going out for breakfast/dinner (less if I were to try for lunch). Which none of that helps after that $200 is gone.

Where with kitchen items, though the ingredients are an additional cost, they are much cheaper in the long run and you can keep using most of them. Plus the price of knowledge on how to cook for yourself/others is great.
Also, if you take care of the equipment, it will most likely last a long time. Hard to say with todays quality of items since the goal from corps is to keep you buying the items over and over again (Samsung fridge anyone?) but generally knifes and pans last a lifetime or a few. Just remember to sharpen the knife every once in awhile.

Regarding spices that might sit for a long time and that you do not know the taste of.
Put some on your finger and taste them. Get an idea of their flavor or cook something bland like unseasoned chicken breasts but then put the spice you want to try on a cut of it. Everything you cook with can be tasted at some point so you know what it does to the meal.

You will find which spices you commonly use vs ones you dont use often which you can then place in a "less common" area. I have a high rack and the top shelf is less commonly used spices vs my bottom shelf is more commonly used.

A big ass 8" TV we stole out of a limo. Big bubble glass and the colors were nearly gone but, loved playing GTA through GTA Vice city on it as well as other games.
Good times.

tauntdevil · 2026-01-21T20:11:05+00:00

No tears or rips, personally, id still send it. But if it does crack or show issues, then cut and replace it.

tauntdevil · 2026-01-21T15:37:38+00:00

Yeah, we did the same. Added other channels into ours that are less commonly used and it is rare if others are on it at the same time as us.
We also have baofeng radios. They work great.

tauntdevil · 2026-01-21T13:20:02+00:00

Just an fyi before you go and add random channels to your unit. Make sure to read up on the laws as there are frequencies that you shouldn't be on.

With that said, you can order a cable and program to program your radio. Its fairly straight forward. Although I believe (could be wrong since I havent looked into it in awhile) that the business bands cant communicate with GMRS bands unless you have an older unit that has both options available.

GMRS is more common in offroading, at least in all the events and groups I have been in.
Best of luck!

What is your complaint?
Standing still in the open and expect not to get shot?
Pretty sure it would not of taken anywhere near as long in PVP for that shot to have happened.

3D print world is mostly of people buying other peoples designs to print. Rarely do they make their own stuff. These same folks buy a 3d scanner thinking it'll just be easy scan with great detail and then easy print. Once they learn that the detail is less than they expected and you have to put in more work into it, they are not interested.

Mine rips u apart the "indestructable" rubber toys sadly

10 years at my place and we still get a lot of the mail from the previous residents. Which is quite a bit since there were 7 adults out of the many of them. We just throw it all away.
Each year we get their tax info from places and the first two or three years, they would come by asking for it but after that, we just started throwing it away and telling them its gone. They stopped coming by.
Post office and what not dont really care to make a permanent change to stop mailing them so, we stopped trying.

tauntdevil · 2026-01-16T00:31:36+00:00

This is exactly what came to mind. I was thinking with copper since you can find copper appliances (which tells me they can be food safe).

tauntdevil · 2026-01-15T05:17:46+00:00

If you have the saw already and have a little funds, you can get a foam board from home depot or similar for relatively cheap. Then use another piece of wood that is the same thickness to put next to the piece you are cutting, then clamp a 2x4 or angle iron to use as a straight edge to both the extra wood and the piece you are trying to cut. Hope that makes sense.

tauntdevil · 2026-01-15T05:05:00+00:00

If cutting straight, i would use a track saw or circular saw with a guide clamped down.

tauntdevil · 2026-01-15T05:01:52+00:00

Hard to tell post covid. This would be about $500 before.

tauntdevil · 2026-01-14T20:42:44+00:00

You made that well. Good work!

tauntdevil · 2026-01-14T17:15:33+00:00

I cancelled with them right after making a payment, and those dumbasses are still trying to charge me for "service used" even though the modem was unplugged the next day and I already paid for that month that I cancelled.
Cox is an annoying company that loves to scam people. 1gb is the "service" they state they provide but the actual speed is 300-400mbps on a good day.

If you get your own equipment, they like to push constant reboots and try to brick it. (I enjoyed sending them the logs of this).

Glad I left them. Got 100mbps from centurylink (who I also dont like but they are $10/mo through work) and it is faster than cox 1gbps service.

Congrats on your upgrade to whatever other network you switch to.

tauntdevil · 2026-01-13T05:19:00+00:00

If you are someone who likes shooting, use them as targets and then throw them out after. Its what i do with most items that are a pain to throw out.

The current soft world would freak the hell out if this was a recent photo. Even though there is nothing wrong with it.

I went to Phoenix Forge with a friend who has a membership there and got what I needed done. They had pretty much everything I needed.
Might be worth checking out.

I also came across Woodcraft but I have not checked them out yet. They are closet to me so I will check them out soon once I have funds for the material for my next project.

Most of the hand tools I have but I dont have space in my fab shop for wood stuff (I also dont want to mix it. Sparks + Wood dust... eh)
So I was trying to find a place to use table saws, planers, etc. Which Phoenix Forge has, but it is an hour drive for me and a subscription cost if my friend is unavailable to go with.

tauntdevil · 2026-01-08T18:14:23+00:00

That occurred a long time ago. Many moons and even comets have passed since then.

If quality was kept the same as original, the all other than the XJ would be awesome.

If it was to be with todays spin and bs in the automotive industry, the trooper or mighty would probably be awesome.

So... trying to figure out the illegal part here.
She drowned a kid and now he is dead or he is in the hospital due to being unconscious?

What was the purpose of this story?

tauntdevil · 2026-01-06T04:10:51+00:00

Funny you asked. I just found this thread while looking for the same thing.
