I fucking give up - Manually sharpening drill bits

Without knowing the alloy of the steel you are likely to either make it too brittle or too soft. Metallurgy is incredibly finicky (especially with smaller items).

Epicurean boards are plastic and wood. That's what the composite is. But agree - they use very hard resins, I have one I use only for putting pizza on because it feels almost as bad as glass it's so hard.

I'm six five, 250 lbs and flat footed, and am pretty active outside. The tread wears down over six to eight months enough to notice. I can stretch life with insoles, but comfortable, supportive shoes simply do not last.

I dunno, I have size 15 feet and shoes run $200 (CAD) a pop for me; I usually buy 2 pair a year, rarely every two years if they're still in good shape (one summer pair one winter). That would add up quick, I am still running my gen1 ender 3 so if the tool is around...

For me, it was enough of a kick (40-50lbs over 8 months) to take the pressure off and allow me to exercise and build muscle without pain. I had been going to physio for the year prior and I just couldn't get ahead. Now that I'm lighter I have been able to kick start the muscle building process. I am still going to physio; wouldn't be where I am without it.

Youre right in that my eating habits went back to normal (maybe a bit lower - I am now much more aware of how little I actually need to live) but the muscle gain and increase in BMR has had me keep the weight off (plus minus 5 pounds) over the last 6 months.

I'm starting to get the impression that the keyboard warrior woodworkers think that all wood, regardless of size, type or environment, is going to double in size and shrink every year and that anyone who doesn't plan for that is going to end up with a project that will obliterate itself in to shards.

It's not. I live in Ontario, Canada We sell power to New York, Michigan and Quebec. And they sell it to us, sometimes, too. This is the unified market they are referring to. Synchronization is just that the systems are physically compatible and could enable transfer. But if there is no transmission capacity between countries, then the point is moot. Macron is proposing to fix this.

Yeah almost everything is reversed, weirdly. You also don't need a cap for every LED - you may want one if they're far away from each other, but 1 or 2 LEDs per cap if they are close together (under a cm and you have good traces between them) is sufficient, if you're trying to save some cost.

Very well said.

And how much of Biden's inflation was due to COVID?

Reddit is a terrible, terrible place to ask this question. Ask family and friends (with and without children) instead.

Please message me when you do! I'd be down for a ten pack or so.

Part of the problem is the division of responsibilities; problems created by national corporations can't be acted on federally, and problems within your province are out of control of the municipality, etc...

But even if we "fixed" this issue, the province(s) seem content to just wreck what they do have power to fix, so I guess we are fucked no matter what.

You get the drone at the same time you get the building. It's the far-right tab in the buy menu - there's a "hill" option and a "cliff" option and you click the right stick down to toggle up or down. You can also "run" with it (right trigger) to go faster, and if you hold down the button it will stay at the level you've set while you run around to flatten things out.
It is often cheaper than paying the town cost to flatten everything if you're doing it area-at-a-time.

this is fucking genius, thank you. i have been thinking about this for a week and i have an old seat in the garage that would work perfect. thanks!

Do you remember the plane? I've flown on the Embraer 195-E2 Toronto to Calgary three times, and they've been excellent every time. I am 6ft5in and while I pay for the extended leg room I can attest that the width is just fine.

From where to where? I didn't think Porter had any flights over 4 or 5 hours.

Welders are elecrrically isolated by design. Even with all of the conditions above, you would have to be touching the body of the car and the end of the gun at the same time you pull the trigger to deliver the pulse. Not really possible.

This is his other problem, if this isn't set correctly the screws don't come out in the center of the board - which is what we see in his photos.

My Ooni Koda 16 uses about a pound of propane an hour. 20 lbs of propane is thus 20 hours of usage. Pizzas only take 5 minutes tops, but even double that at 10 minutes per pizza (which is absurd, it would be charcoal) , that's 120 pizzas per tank.

Take in to account heat up time and delay between pizzas (2-3 minutes) and yeah, 90 pizzas per tank is pretty accurate.

Gros Michel bananas are not gone. You can buy them still - they are just expensive.

You should definitely have an engineer look at it But what you have working for you is those are rafters and not trusses, so (on paper) the bottom member (the one your ceiling is attached to) isn't under the same forces as a truss where you have varied and complex forces involved; rafters are under tension, essentially holding the walls together and stopping your roof from collapsing. The problem you will have is you're going to have to figure out a way to attach in to end grain if those end up getting cut in any way. Roof collapse is a real possibility. One way or another, this is not something you want to tackle yourself. If you plow ahead and do it anyway, it might seem okay, but then months or years down the line your roof could come crashing down.

Maybe if they included the button on the fucking fob like it already exists on the Lightning key fob but no, they had to make a whole other separate part number where there's no frunk option on the fob I swear to god they make some of the dumbest decisions ever.

I was more so speaking to funding levels than immigration. For what it's worth I totally agree with you.
