Spot on. It’s my primary working surface right now and will be mostly for ripping when I have a full bench. Sitting on it, my weight provides the stability, but I can pick it up and take it outside or anywhere.
I’ll use the joiners mallet to knock together joints and to motivate my chisel.
Yeah it’s convenient for some things, but not ideal for others. I might modify it by putting pegs into each leg to hold them in better, because the actual joints arent that good. Besides adding a crochet hook, some people add an attachment to hang down from the edge with the crochet hook to support longer boards with pegs, but I won’t know if that’s necessary until I use it more. The holdfasts dont grip well because it is so shallow, so I’m going to add some scratches to the holdfasts to see if the texture gives some better grip.
I’ll also add a couple more holdfast holes somewhere in th middle for sawing. Near the end of the bench where they are now, the saw sometimes bumps the leg that is protruding outward.
It turned out fantastic either way, and I don’t think anyone will turn you into the woood police.
Yeah, it’s surprising how little information there is to be found on how that was traditionally attached prior to hardware. I thought wood pegs and holes might work but havent tried it yet. I saw one design that had the legs go up flush to the table top and the top was notched and dropped into the legs.
This might be a dumb question, but how did you attach the top to the legs/frame? With wood pegs and holes?
I would also love a sepia color theme. Having a tan/beige background with dark brown accent colors would be really nice to use. I love these colors on reader modes in web browsers.
I also work 3x12s and mostly love having the 4 days off. The downside is being able to do virtually nothing on those days besides eat and sleep. I think one advantage of the 9-5 week is being able to still do a few things more often. It’s hard to practice hobbies and maintain the house with gaps on days that I’m working.
What you value changes slightly as time goes on. Having the more consistent day might be more appealing now. And if you dont like it, there are always nurse jobs that are in need. Maybe there is something in between the hospital and that gig, like dialysis nursing. Worth a try.
For sure, it’s difficult to break that cycle of anxiety. It has been helpful to understand it a little better. I think out of the strategies that she lists at the end, the one about challenging your assumptions has helped the most. I kind of imagine what advice I would give myself in that moment or what I would challenge someone else on.
I think because that to minimize damage for a full acute withdrawal. As I understand it, benzos increase GABA that is depleted from alcohol, because NMDA recovers more quickly and is excitable, causing the twitching, seizures, etc.
This seems like a slow wean off with social and housing support to replace the dependency on alcohol. Kind of makes a lot of sense.
I can also confirm two countries in South America that allow this as well.
The risk for complications due to chronic hypertension is well known by now, and screening would be nice to increase because of this. But are we just accepting that children have more hypertension now? Should we investigate and address root causes? Is it due to increased childhood obesity or high cholesterol? Chronic stress? Could we improve those to lower blood pressure in the first place instead of just screen and prescribe?
As someone who cares for elderly people sometimes, please please fill out an advanced directive (not just a living will). It’s a sort of “if this, then that” for health scenarios. It’s immensely helpful when when caring for someone not well, and can be much more stressful without one. I have had dying, incapacitated patients wait weeks for guardianship or POA-HC to be processed before care can be changed to comfort measures, because they did not have one on file.
Get one from the hospital you would likely go to, fill it out, give them a copy, keep a copy, and give a copy to who you list as a decision-maker. You do not want to add the stress of logistics to an emotionally difficult time.
I think as a society we should embrace death more. Pretending it doesn’t happen just makes things worse when that reality of mortality unwaveringly stares you in the face.
Try Lemma if you’re on iOS. It’s very smooth and has the right balance of features and simplicity imo.
Picture of tents camping. The text shows: “You can’t run through a campground. You can only ran, because it’s past tents.
Side note, is this because the image isn’t loading or for visual impairment?
For the sake of argument, what percentage are aimed at improving quality of life (not extending someone’s life)? I assume most or all are intended as treatment, but I’m curious.
Thanks for the tip for the chamfer. Someone else mentioned that too, so I’ll definitely try that and see if it can reduce the tearout. Im not sure if I’ll put a finish on it, but maybe I’ll try linseed oil. That seems minimal and this whole thing is an experiment anyway haha
Thanks for the insight, I may need to try that
Yeah that’s a good point. Thanks for the suggestions, I’m going to try and burn it all at once, but may need to add things later, so I’ll see how the solvent goes to burn and reseal.
I’m not sure what you’re using it for, but I use an ebook reader called eBoox. It’s free with no ads, not sure if open-source. I had bookmarks but I don’t think annotations. I like it because it can open my epub, mobi, and pdf books, change the font and font size, sepia and night modes, has many options for how to change the page, and fairly simple UI. The creator markets it as a cutesy cat thing, but that is only present on the initial setup and then it’s just a regular e-reader app.
Like with most things, I’m cautiously optimistic. It will probably take longer than necessary, for sure. But businesses being able to get money another way might evoke some motivation to get it done. I just don’t know about the demand right now. I see a few electric cars around, but the cold reduces the distance, so I personally think that WI just won’t have as many electric cars. Maybe plug-in hybrids though.
And it’s a bit of a chicken and egg. Maybe more stations would encourage people to consider electric vehicles.
I guess if the VPN speeds were fine, if there were drops in connection, and whether you can manually choose a location.
Have you used the cloud service for photo backup? I currently have an iPhone and it sounds neat to switch to bundling Proton and dropping the iCloud subscription.
I’d probably just use Proton’s mail app on mobile. It’s actually pretty snappy and intuitive, and it has always had the basic features I need.
