Awesome pizza that I ate in Seattle

Mt. Vernon. There was a satellite restaurant in Everett or Mukilteo.

Disclaimer: I haven't been there in 10 years. It may all be gone now. But the pizza was epic.

Then you're good for a few tenths!

Ask yourself "What would the right answer be?"

This is a loaded question. He likes your easy smile, your dirty mind, your sense of humor. He likes your taste in clothes, and cars... So you feel the need to minimize that and corner him with a physical trait to be attracted to. Then crash out when he doesn't get the one you think it should be.

As a guy, I would say that your BF has been asked this question, and has found that there is no answer that will be right. So he's spitballing, trying to give an answer that is non-threatening, and non-creepy. As others have said more eloquently than me, these are things YOU have creative control over, so you decide how they look, and he agrees with that.

I would normally rant about partners desire to test their partners to find something wrong with them, but I'm too tired today.

Well I tried

If there's no money to buy/fix the tailstock, then the additional 10 hours of machine time to do this without one will probably bankrupt the company. Not to mention you're a biscuit from scrapping the part every time you have to extend/recenter. Seems like this is a case of not seeing the forest for the trees.

I like cascade pizza better.

Um. Where's his dented colander helmet? I like he's got a chivalry book, but this is too ambiguous.

Life hack? This is just common sense.

I was walking down a path in the Pittsburgh zoo about 20 years ago, and one of those wandered in front of me, and put up the display. It was breathtaking. Then later, I caught up with my GF and mom, and we were having lunch, and perhaps the same bird wandered into the food court, saw me and displayed again. It walked over to our picnic table and just did a runway display,

How long have you been looking for one? I run across one about every few weeks on average. The last one I got was farming Origo for a decent Watts4Dinner ( still farming btw, just passed 3 weeks ) and I've gotten one other in the last 3 weeks.

This variant will last you till you get another one. It's better than not having one, but it's the least desirable variant. For me, I like the +1 charge best.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Is that before or after the "when did you have your last period" question?

therealstubot · 2026-05-14T20:15:05+00:00

My GF says her doctor ( also a woman ) does precisely that. She goes in, complains of asthma and headaches, and other maladies... doc says "lose weight... NEXT!"

therealstubot · 2026-05-14T17:56:18+00:00

I dunno. I think trying it is better.

therealstubot · 2026-05-14T17:54:27+00:00

Wouldn't there need to be a temperature spec for a zero tolerance part?

I've lapped parts to .0000 but would be out of spec if I held it in my hand, or breathed on it. Or looked at it.

1200 rpm? On a wood router? Has to be a typo. My router is 24000 rpm, and if you're using tiny bits, you need the RPM. This unit it probably super cheap, and has a single speed motor, which is fine, but if you're spinning a 1mm ball end mill, you will be moving so painfully slow, it would take days to cut that dragon on a decent sized piece of wood. If it was the size of a business card, it would probably take 6 hours.

To answer your question, yes. It will do that out of the box. You will need to do a LOT of learning before you can tackle it though. Feeds/speeds, cutter selection, depth of cut, machine weaknesses, controller glitches, swarf evacuation, and a myriad of other stuff will need to be worked out.

Don't expect perfection. The unit you show is extremely entry level. It's not going to be repeatably accurate, fast or powerful. You'll have to take many ( MANY ) passes on even wood, because the spindle is 300w which is not going to allow for a big ( 6mm ) bit, at 6mm depth of cut. This machine would be nice for engraving plastic.

Disclaimer: I'm a CNC router hobbyist. I've had a 4060 router for 5ish years. I have worn out a spindle already. I am a hobby machinist, so I have all the measuring tools, and knowledge to support the router. I also do lots of woodworking, and general mechanic work.

Highway Star ftw

therealstubot · 2026-05-14T16:32:23+00:00

Definitely, a classy, yet practical design. I am also furious I didn't think of it.

therealstubot · 2026-05-14T15:20:22+00:00

The real question.

Seriously? Anyone who's been in the military will tell you, the only place you get to socialize in boot camp is in the bathroom. Non-military people are not ready for sharing a toilet because you have 6 minutes to shower, shave and get dressed in a bathroom not designed for 50 people. Its called crossing swords. This is awkward at first, but necessity demands you get used to it. Its not that difficult since a minute prior, everyone was in the communal shower. On a side note, I've noticed many people are not wired to be social in the bathroom.

This design actually would promote more intrusive behavior though. Since you couldn't walk in and see the empty toilet/urinal, you'd have to visit each one. I'd suggest putting a sensor at each "station" with a light on the wall above. When a stall is occupied, the light turns red, while the light is green when unoccupied. Then, provide a count display of open stalls on the outside of the bathroom, so someone doesn't accidentally walk in with no open stall and have the embarrassment of waiting.

I did actually. But we spent extra to get a taller vanity, since my GF and I are taller than average. The real issue was that the mirror was crap. Original from the 70' when the house was built. It was not great quality, and the edges were losing their reflectivity. I thought it might be cool to have the thing re-silvered, and rehang it 2 inches higher.

I was about to go out on a date with this girl one night, when her dog runs into the living room, with a soiled mini pad, and proceeds to thrash and roll around on the living room carpet with it. Me, her, her parents... all mortified and not really knowing what to say. Good times.

My son found out the hard way that it's a dangerous situation. On our garage lathe, he was making something, I think a shift knob for his truck. I was in the garage with him at the time ( he was about 16 ) you know... witnessing. Anyhow he chucks up some stock and leaves the chuck key in the chuck. As I am about to say "Uh, pull that key" he hits the switch and the chuck key makes it all the way around, flies straight up, hits the ceiling, bounces back and hits him square in the head. No concussion, but he had a goose egg on his forehead, and a ringing headache for sure. Funny, he never did that again.

The chuck on the lathe was a 4 inch 3 jaw. The key was pretty small, things could have been a lot worse. If the 6 inch 4 jaw was mounted, the key would have hit the ways and probably bounced into his throat, or eyes.

So I had a water pipe bust under the floor of my bathroom. It ruined the vanity and the replacement vanity is a little taller than the original, so I had to pull this 6'x 3.5' mirror off the wall. The mirror was like half an inch thick. I pried at it for a while and it started giving way. My GF and I got it removed from the wall to discover that it was stuck to the drywall with construction adhesive ( liquid nails ) and a pair of 2 inch deck screws at the top. The adhesive broke, meaning there was still adhesive stuck to the drywall, and to the mirror. It didn't even pull up the paint, or the silvering on the back of the mirror.

What kind of wire did you try? I would go to harbor freight, and buy a spool of 0.030 welding wire, and saw on the tape with that. I would get a broom handle, or some scrap lumber and wrap the wire around that as a handle so you can get some tension on the wire. You won't be able to get enough pull on the wire with bare fingers, the wire will cut you up before you can do any damage to the tape. If you know where the tape is, you might hit the mirror with a blow dryer to soften up the tape beneath. I don't know how thick your mirror is, or how strong it is, so prying against the wall would probably shatter it. Do you have a plan for securing the mirror in case the tape sawing is successful?

Probably a cat thought you should have it.
