A good poly and an appropriate hardwood selection can do a lot to protect the floor.

Would I ever do a natural wood floor in a kitchen or full bathroom? Absolutely not because I actually use a kitchen and have a dog that would maul hardwood with zoomies.

Biltong is so damn good. I would be upset I couldn’t save any for later but hedonistically joyful in getting to engorge myself on biltong.

Heath Cordes is left frustrated on customer service.

I’m not even ultralight. I have a framed pack and a whole toothbrush. Those guys are nuts.

My first backpacking trip, my bag was 40lbs. I said fuck that jazz, and now my pack is 20lbs and it has made trips so much better.

Or what you put in a storage unit that is inconveniently far away. I still need those 5mm magnets…

Backpacking. I have a big plastic bin filled with equipment that I decided to go another direction with.

But makers are the kings of hobby hoarding, just look at Adam Savage. He has parts for things he hasn’t even thought of building. He has a plethora of tools that overlap entirely just because the set of tools is closer to a given work aspect. Walls of bins with various degrees of filled because he bought 100 of something a decade ago that may have a future use.

I don’t thing corpse borne explosive device(CBEDs) are a legal form of burial, but I am not one to stand in the way of someone’s dreams so long as nobody is physically harmed.

Who is the arbiter of death that decides when it is right on behalf of another?

You can get by without a dado if you can make a sled, dados are not all that popular outside of the US. A table saw and sled with a chisel can do a lot of dado work without much fuss.

A jointer is arguably a necessity just for convenience and speed, but you don’t NEED one to do the style OP wants to do. They are more necessary if you are working off of non-dimensional lumber or 1/4 sawn lumber where square is a rough concept.

All of this. They have made some sawdust.

Not that it really matters as a legitimate cause to dislike trans people, but the 2023 Nashville shooting at a school was done by a trans person.

You may love that style and have every intention of only doing that style, but you will likely need/want to make something of a different style.

Consider a scroll saw instead of a second band saw. They can do tighter turns and save you having to do more work to get the edge to the line. An oscillating drum sander can be a huge help for finishing curves that bandsaw can’t get at, but a jeweler’s saw can also make the curve.

A drill press is really great if you need to drill a hole or make plugs, preferably one with a tilting bed and fixtures for clamping.

Mallets, both wood and rubber.

However many clamps you think you need, double or triple that. Consider getting the ratchet strap type clamps, they can be really awesome for some glue ups where you can’t put calls on the piece. Clamps are a great gift idea too.

Get a router and then buy the plate and make a table router, but having a hand router and a table router would be more convenient.

A government could mandate that a company, like Apple, must install a remote deactivation and give access to that feature to the government.

There is no knowing if they already do, because there hasn’t been a good reason to use it, that we know of; it wouldn’t be impossible to make people disappear who have experienced such a thing.

So you want to engineer a living, evolving, highly contagious virus that contains enough of a dangerous virus to train your immune system to be resistant to that dangerous disease?

Do you not see how bad an idea that is?

Gibraltar is a city?

I am American, so low bar, but there are dozens of us.

Fairly big city and a tourist destination if you are too trash to go to Reno, which is where you go if you are too trash to go to Vegas.

Reddit is the frontpage of the DIT. The majority of Reddit is bots.

Playing with fireworks, firearms, or chemicals can be a solid way for anyone of any age to ruin their life.
