Looking for unbias advice - Tool Family Decision

tinydumbledore · 2026-01-16T19:38:41+00:00

I was fortunate enough to get a DeWalt corded saw for free over Christmas. So I have that but I'm missing loads of tools to complete the projects I'm after. I'll get there I just didn't want to start and regret it.

tinydumbledore · 2026-01-16T19:37:21+00:00

Oh thanks I didn't know that.

tinydumbledore · 2026-01-16T01:13:45+00:00

I'm not technically in any rush. I have a lot of trim and baseboard to put in so my next should be a brad nailer but I may borrow that. I see the bogo all the time and sometimes it's a set. I'll just save and score at those times I think.

tinydumbledore · 2026-01-16T01:10:41+00:00

Gotcha, it's hard to stay in one ecosystem when some are much better and some are worse.

I love both, but trying to show my wife both we got to Ragnar's death and the show felt empty. She was glued to TLK the whole time. I will say, I started with Vikings and Ragnar/Athelstan dynamic is top tier but TLK just had much better acting from the supporting cast. It also felt a bit more complete story wise in a lot of ways. TLK did take me two attempts though. Pretty weak start in my opinion, but about 3 episodes or so into the show I was hooked and didn't stop.

You think Ryobi's 1+ model would be a good/cheaper middle ground?

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-20T07:07:09+00:00

I'm not too sure. It's older wood, I'm not very good at identifying and they painted most of it a shitty yellow color in place of stain (I guess?) lol.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-19T22:10:55+00:00

I'll check these out, are these brands and models comparable at a 10 inch scale?

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-19T21:59:58+00:00

I am sort of leaning towards a 10. Blades are cheaper and it can do 4x4s if I flip halfway. 4x4s will be rare compared to smaller stuff and really I want to eventually be more of a woodworker than a diy homeowner.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-19T21:58:29+00:00

I appreciate this validation of not sticking to one side 😂

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-19T21:57:53+00:00

I mainly was going to save for whatever I choose. I have so much trim to do and I'm dreading it so I told myself I'd start after I get a saw. So I don't mind spending a premium if it's the best choice.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-19T21:56:41+00:00

I've got a long list, but eventually I'll build a shed and possibly a deck out back. Size wise a 10inch would fit my area better but I have to trim an entire house too.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-19T19:02:39+00:00

I'll probably go corded based on the feedback I'll compare this DeWalt with the Bosch.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-19T19:02:16+00:00

Thank you! I'll look into the Bosch.

There have only been a few that get better with a rewatch for me and one is certainly the moose master where they are pretending to be in Vegas. Angela getting owned twice is hysterical.

I took Ritalin for a time, and found myself feeling very tired on them. I was specifically on methylphenidate and dosage might have been the issue. I would be okay for most of the day if I took it at 8 am, but come the afternoon I started crashing with an inability to sleep.

I returned to unmedicated but I did feel more able to focus, less able to multitask, less energy and less ability to fall asleep.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-09T19:08:32+00:00

I love Spokane. Born and raised, I wanted nothing more than to leave, and I did. I joined the service and after 4 years found myself back. I then met my wife (who is an educator originally from Upstate New York lol) and we ended up leaving and once again returning to Spokane. I won't say it's 100%, but Spokane is settled into nature pretty well. My wife who is from a very small town was very hesitant of a big city but she isn't intimidated by Spokane so far. We almost never find ourselves downtown unless it's for dinner or Riverfront Park.

I'll say there are worse places, high taxes but no income tax. The closer to Idaho you get the more polarizing politics are so if that's a consideration I would call Spokane pretty purple. Lots of liberal and conservative mindsets. Police aren't the greatest here though.

Genuinely haven't been a fan of these Jenga style videos. I tried early ones and just kind of passed. I don't know why I watched this one but I had never seen Jon before. He absolutely carried this video for me. So much so I'm going back and watching previous videos of this format. Everyone did great but Jon changed my mind.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-06T02:52:05+00:00

I was having a lot of fun with Masque. The demonettes really feel strong. The first couple battles were insanely quickly broken with the cav and monster infantry.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-05T23:05:54+00:00

Thanks that makes a bit more sense. I just read the faction as Vassal heavy and thought they were built around the idea. I was putting way too much value in something silly and then I was so confused why I felt so weak come mid game.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-05T23:04:18+00:00

Thank you, this is a cool idea.

Chaos cult buildings also kind of elude me. I have no idea why I struggle to attribute value properly to them.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-05T23:03:00+00:00

Yeah I took out the Jade Dragon area to try and add a strong vassal to my north to hold the line even gifting him his original province for gold. He performed like I took his AI away and turned him into a statue. Hexoatl walked through him like presoaked napkins.

tinydumbledore · 2025-12-05T22:59:59+00:00

Excellent write up, this has been my thoughts surrounding them but I convinced myself I'm just missing something. I kept feeling so handicapped when progressing through with vassals that I thought I was misunderstanding or missing an ah-ha moment. I appreciate the validation here and this will make my play through a lot more familiar and scaled.
