    Erm, this is kinda oxymoronic. A resaw cut is just a rip cut across the wider dimension. A bandsaw is the primary tool for cutting veneers and no one would accept 1/16th plus or minus 1/8. I think you need to get your saw tuned properly.

    Health Problems

    I had one in November and it fucked up my gut flora for a solid two months (cramps with every meal, whee!) before I started taking nightly probiotics. The research isn't clear that they actually do anything, but it sure seemed to help me.

    Bandsaws are WAY safer than table saws. You'd have to be moving fast and paying no attention at all to do that to yourself.

    I have a DeWalt jobsite saw that is highly rated in its class. It's still uncomfortably wobbly and flexible with a bunch of runout and sloppy miter slots. As soon as I finish off updating my house (insualtion and electrical still to go) and cash flow supports it I'm getting a real cabinet saw...

    Honestly, your fingernail is going to do fuck all vs carbide teeth and human reaction time isn't anywhere near fast enough to respond meaningfully to a 4500+ RPM table saw. In the 1/4 second it takes you to figure out what's going on the blade has made 20 full rotations and you'll have had ~1000...

    "Civil War is a movie I could best describe as a luxury sports car with no driver and no engine.... It's a movie that says nothing, does nothing, and ultimately accomplishes nothing."

    Presumably it would be a nightmare to get enough wood to the Ashlands to build in the first place and they'll have some new fireproof stone in abundance. The MO is generally to build a base in each biome from local materials.

    I've rebooted everything and turned my firewalls on and off. My connectivity is fine. I'm more worried that there's something weird wrong with my return that's creating spurious errors. Edit: Not just me, tons of people on Reddit complaining about same symptoms. Hilariously, H&R Blocks payment...

    I'd really love to be done with my taxes this year but I'm having trouble e-filing. H&R Block's servers seem to be down and I'm getting a "Bad Gateway" error. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

    They're selling Coleman short. Not only did he run into a burning house to save his parents, the reason he succumbed to smoke inhalation and was unconscious for three days days is because he went back in a third time for his dog.

    On the contrary, we need to measure it exactly because our math may be off. We need data to correct the reasoning. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/04/dark-energy-might-not-be-constant-after-all/

    I'm taking the family to Indianapolis to see it, but I'm also visiting friends and family in Chicago this week so it's no huge loss if it's cloudy. There's also a phenomenon where the lower atmospheric temperature due to the eclipse causes pressure changes that make clouds evaporate, so that...
