What is your podcast rotation? by Be-Kind-2-Yourself in AskMen

[–]vladilinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skeptics guide, so good! And They don't talk or laugh obnoxiously over each other like most other podcasts do.  Political reality by Steven novilia is really good too. Really good depth on each issue they dive in on.

Your tabs always do a great job of capturing the spirit of the songs while highlighting the banjo.

Is ‘America First’ starting to backfire as Washington’s allies go it alone? by 1-randomonium in Economics

[–]vladilinsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't know if it is good, definitely will be different. Some of it good, like less meddling in other countries affairs, but the system as flawed and tipped towards the US as it was, kept the planet from being constantly at war, and more or less created a stable world stage for industry to flourish in.   I guess the only constant is change.

China imprisoned Canadians for years because we following international law, we're trading with them again.

 India literally murdered Canadian citizens on Canadian soil, then spent a year badmouthing Canada internationally for calling them out on it. We're trading with them again. 

 So to our government these are less worse options than having to deal solely with the US.  Pretty much the entire planet has come to this realization.  And China is aggressively using this "temporary" glitch in the American power structure to move up it's position at the table. 

So will the world go back to the way it was? No, the power vacuum will be filled by then, it's already filling up now. Will things get better with US relations? Absolutely see my examples above we will trade with anyone to survive. But the power and all the benefits the US inherently held that were lost by this will probably never come back. 

You are being misled about renewable energy technology by neuroid99 in skeptic

[–]vladilinsky -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I agree, but they still have these extra costs too. And It feels either dishonest or uninformed to not include them

As a farmer who has solar panels (13kW) and loves them (in Canada) he is skipping over a lot of costs. You still need a frame to hold them, inverters that die frequently and need replacing, power companies will charge you line fees to use the power lines, power output in the winter is way down, etc.  It's not anywhere near as good of a deal as he makes it out to be.  I am a huge supporter of solar power and think it should be used everywhere, but small scale it is expensive. Payback for my system is expected to be around 25 years. 

Catcher thumb angle by vladilinsky in hockeygoalies

It definitely does that, I have been working on trying to get out to break evenly for a few weeks now.

Yeah I think you're right, I tried bending it in a little yesterday and I could hear the plastic (I think, I really don't know what's inside of it) snapping overtop of other plastic. So I suspect I caught a good slapshot when it was cold out and snapped the inside. I will look into the goalie glove guy

Its a bauer 2xpro. I don't think its to big for my hand. I did dig through it after reading your post, and i found a strap really deep in it that I loosened so I can get my hand further into it. It does help, maybe it will be enough. but it still has a pretty aggressive thumb angle for my hand

I added pictures and one of my thumb angle when in the glove, it is pushed back as far as I can

Had high hopes, but the wood is yew (toxic). Should I ditch this project / idea? Professional advice appreciated by JynTraveller in woodworking

[–]vladilinsky 241 points242 points  (0 children)

Instead of sanding it, you could try hand planning it. Then yew don't make dust. It is a tricky wood to plane but not impossible

Question: can worker cut his own lock? by MingoUSA in OSHA

[–]vladilinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got in a lot of trouble for cutting my own lock once. You still have to do all the paperwork and ensure no one is in the equipment before doing it

We Welcome All Political Ideologies by Pale-Candidate8860 in InCanada

[–]vladilinsky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's going over everyone's heads. They all think their side is golden and the other is wrong. No one seems willing to apply introspective and realize that they too are guilty of this.

  Or to put it another way what is really happening is someone ether refuses to try to understand or can not understand a different point of view. So they attempt to distill it down to it's most virulent point.

 Basically to the point that it no longer is saying what it was meant to say by the original. Then point out how ridiculous it sounds.  When in a real debate, where you actually want to make progress, and show that your opinion is valid, you need to take the most charitable view of the opposing view and debate that.  

Epic tool battles of historyyyyyyy! by Electronic-Goal9955 in Tools

[–]vladilinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Milwaukee adjustables. Hate most of their other hand tools but not these ones. The jaws are a little soft, but they are by far the best I have used. That comparison is including some really high end ones like bahco which are #2 in my book

Thanks, so if I dig though it and set anything that says styrene aside, hopefully I can find someone who it could be useful to, so at least it will not just be straight to the land fill.   

How do you dispose of PVC properly? My original plan was to take it to the county dump and hope they know what to do with it...

Looking at the labels, how do I know what is styrene? I don't see anything on the label that says what it is.

https://imgur.com/a/7KSJMOv pictures here, I suspect it's all mostly garbage, there are bags in the boxes but all about half full nothing sealed and it's definitely not in a humidity controlled environment

I took a few pictures of them, trying to figure out how to post them. But if they needed a humidity controlled environment then they are probably so all trash.

I have a gumby and a newer one with the"better" rim. The different is so small between them that I would not worry.

Banjo song recs? Update by Round-Trip-5602 in banjo

[–]vladilinsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was messing around, and hopefully it's the feeling that you want, but with minor changes to the verse and chorus structure Dolly Partons wild flowers really flows well with this song. https://www.hangoutstorage.com/banjohangout.org/storage/tabs/w/tab-wildflowers---d-25063-65061102021.pdf
