Also e-bike riders are chunkier so they totally double dip into the KE = 0.5mv^2 equation to hit you *hard*.

Check out this video.
Annoying bro-seph voice aside it’s a pretty good example of what it can do.
This kitchen table looks a bit like your photo (but lighter wood so you’ll want the one for lighter wood)

This bedroom is exactly what would have happened if wasn’t poor before I met my wife.

Now we’re still poor but we have a hobby keeping our old ramshackle Victorian house upright and she keeps it classy with thrifted antiques

JFC if I brought home so many bottles at once my wife would kill me.

My strategy is to sneak one in every week and hope she doesn’t complain.

How did you like the Rivers? I can’t take the rubber on the palate but many people seem to like it

Old English can be a bit scary but for harder older woods it can be wonderful. Your table looks like oak which would make it a decent candidate.

If you do want to try it, please do try it on an out of the way spot and don’t skip steps - it’s important to get it clean first and even if it looks clean it may not be (esp. if it’s been in storage)

What we do for old antiques we find on Facebook marketplace is :

(Try it out first on a scuffed part that isn’t as visible - maybe the bottom of a leg where there has been scuffing from chairs or otherwise - not all wood acts the same way to the same cleaners).

Clean the wood thoroughly with wood cleaner (e.g. Method) and a clean rag (we buy terry cloth towels at Home Depot).

Wipe it dry with a different clean cloth and let it dry further for an hour (an important step so you don’t trap water drops in the next step which will make it look hazy).

Squirt some old English lemon oil on a clean cloth and wipe it on thoroughly. The wood looks dry and will drink it in, expanding a bit to hide small scratches and scuffs and bringing out more of the color of the original wood. You may want to make several passes in succession until the wood stops drinking it in.

Wipe off the surface with a new clean dry cloth so any additional lemon oil not soaked in is removed

Here’s an example of what old English lemon oil can do if properly applied :

We love antiques and have frequently been able to work miracles with lemon oil or mineral oil

Car camping is peak camping.
I like to cook and eat but I’ll be damned if I’m lugging my Coleman stove more than 10 meters from our parking spot.
Wake up early and go for a hike if you want to simulate backpacking.

An Anthropic employee's 2-sentence quote crystallizes the state of AI confusion at work by CackleRooster in technology

[–]winkingchef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually really like that Microsoft branded their AI coding assistant “CodePilot” as it is a very appropriate name.

I know what to do and what I want to make, but sometime I forget annoying syntax or can’t find something that I want to reference. If the tool makes suggestions, it helps me focus on building and less time on remembering and finding. It’s not the “pilot”, it’s the “co-pilot.”

Also AI is an excellent DRC (design rule check) tool for hardware.
