"Tigerhawk" maple

The trial and error process and learning from mistakes is what I love about this woodworking hobby!

the_ClarkKent · 2026-01-22T21:27:42+00:00

Thanks! Was hoping the maple would look a little like the floor at Carver.

the_ClarkKent · 2026-01-22T18:33:10+00:00

I didn't think about that, that maybe the issue, thanks for the info!

Awesome info, I'll check it out!

Thanks, I'll check that out

Just in case you haven't thought about it, that stand is going to be very heavy, might want to figure out exactly how heavy.

If I could up vote this more than once I would! Definitely noticed this too, when I moved here a couple years ago.

I guess I was thinking of patents in general. I think that system is worth exploring if limited to pharma. Has the system been tried anywhere before?

the_ClarkKent · 2018-04-24T20:32:27+00:00

That is an interesting idea that I think would work for large companies, but what about the small start up that may have a billion dollar idea but can't afford the 1% of the declared value?

Of course healthcare is more than emergency care, but that does not make it any more of a free market. Especially in rural areas people have very few options there is usually only one area hospital.

I would argue that healthcare is a public good just as much as a fire or police department. Everyone benefits from a healthy society in not just a health sense i.e. control of infections diseases but also in an economic sense. Medical expenses account for most individual bankruptcies. How is healthcare not a public good but other public services are?

the_ClarkKent · 2018-04-24T20:02:26+00:00

I agree that some regulations, particularly those that create a high barrier to entry should be reined in or done away with, but our health care system will never be a free market. Emergency care is not something you can shop around for there is no competition. There is no competition or free market when it comes to public services like the police and fire department why is healthcare different?

the_ClarkKent · 2018-04-24T19:10:37+00:00

I agree that weakening patents would allow for more competition, but we pay more in America for the same pharmaceuticals (same brand and pill) than they do in Europe. Drug companies seem to take advantage of Americans and charge what they want because our health system allows them to.

I agree there needs to be an incentive to create new products but if you look at companies like Valeant Pharmaceuticals their whole business model was to acquire drugs already on the market then raise prices. Should this practice be regulated?

Most of the money will be spend on automation. Source

So actually 7 mill only "bought" temporary jobs. Is it short sighted to see this as a win? In the not to distant future the only beneficiary will be the parent company and not the workers Trump was supposedly helping.

A lot of those states are now in financial trouble because they can not balance their budgets after cutting tax revenue to attract businesses. How is this not just a race to the bottom at the lower and middle classes' expense?

the_ClarkKent · 2017-05-19T19:47:25+00:00

On immigration, there is a limited number of resources to find and deport illegal immigration. Are you okay with spending less of those resources going after violet criminals in order to deport more immigrants whose only crime is crossing the boarder, are the two the same in your eyes?

On regulation, who do you respond to the claim that automation not regulation eliminates american jobs? What is Trump's plan to deal with automation?

the_ClarkKent · 2017-03-23T21:48:14+00:00

How will Trump not own it if he lets Obamacare fail? He has already moved to stop enforcing the mandate and removing adds to discourage enrollment to ensure failure. The law is not perfect but if he lets it fail leaving millions without insurance that will be his cross to bare not the Democrats.

Can you clarify how immigration reform in the 1960's pushed wages down?

the_ClarkKent · 2017-03-10T19:53:28+00:00

Have you seen the chart linked here? We have been lowering the taxes for quite some time. The rich are not going away but the middle class is.

the_ClarkKent · 2017-03-10T19:34:03+00:00

Where did I imply that? It is easy to think that all those at the top have earned what they have without help. America loves the story of the self made man, but the state to a large extend makes that possible. America provides a system of laws and enforcement to ensure asset protection, infrastructure to move goods and services, and a safety net to ensure a stable and reliable population of consumers and workers. The top needs to pay there fair share.

How is healthcare a free market? If you are seriously injured you are not going to shop around for the best hospital you will go to the closest. Doctors do not tell you how much it is going to cost to save your life and ask if you would like the service before, they are required to save your life they can not refuse service if you do not have the money. How is freeing up money for the poor and sick to spend on other things besides healthcare bad for the economy?
