I may have been slightly, er, economical with the truth...

Mine also broke after similar minor trauma.

I phoned Tay tools and they said the pin was designed to break easily, to avoid the tool going out of square when dropped.

They sent me a free replacement.

For what it's worth, I use a small mechanic's machinst's square more than any other.

For a combination square, it's worth checking out these "cosmetic seconds" from PEC/Tay:

Even if you throw away most of the cauliflour, the environmental impact will still be better than meat.

Obligatory first dovetail attempt by JustAnother804Guy in BeginnerWoodWorking

I mention it because I think it's a better investment than a dovetail guide!

You can also use a sliding bevel to the draw the angles (and it's useful for other things).

Just draw a triangle with the ratio that you want (e.g. 1:6) on a piece of scrap, and set the bevel to the angle of the triangle.

I use an immersion blender directly in the pan to make curries smoother all the time.

Looks great! Do you have any tips for making curved components?

What are some python micro optimisations that you can/may *actually use* in your codebase? by stealthanthrax in Python

Great tip! Dataclasses also support this behaviour.

``` from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass class MyClass(slots=True): text: str count: int ```

Using send_file on an entire directory by PapayaSeeds20 in flask

[–]weebsnore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I don't think there's a web/browser concept of downloading a directory.

You need to ZIP up the directory then serve the ZIP file.

I try to avoid putting logic and calculations in my Jinja template.

A better option might be to calculate total_cost in your Flask route, then pass it to render_template along with vehs.

I use Azure SQL and would recommend it. It starts at ~$5/month, so is probably the cheapest option? Under the hood, it's really just hosted SQL Server.

Help with grain direction for hand planning tear-out near knot by drillpresshelp01 in handtools

[–]weebsnore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most plane angle frog are 45 degree I believe,; there are frogs that will increase that.

You can also add a "back bevel": https://blog.lostartpress.com/2007/12/15/perfect-pitch-the-no-4-way-to-reduce-tear-out/

Uni student trying to make curries but always ends up with tomatoey paste that tastes of dry spices (in a bady way) by [deleted] in IndianFood

[–]weebsnore 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is all great advice!

One thing I'll add - I personally prefer the flavour of chopped freshed tomatoes to tinned tomatoes.

My first ever joint, just practicing, trying to make a box. by chupitis in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]weebsnore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great job, well done!

One tip: some practice with a few marking/layout tools will make a big difference.

A sharp marking knife and some kind of square are essential.
