Golden ratio here we come

I feel like a 2am drop is a porch pirate’s dream

Yeah if you’re not building birdhouses and remodeling your sauna it probably doesn’t apply to you.

Not Porter Cable. I bought a PC cordless set as my first set because it was inexpensive. I was wrong, it was cheap. None of the cutting tools are square and 0 isn’t 0, you have to fiddle with it to get it square. My oscillating tool died with not many hours on it. The orbital sander works great but tears through batteries, probably a quarter the life of my DeWalt brushless tool on the same mAh size battery.

I am on DeWalt now. A prior employer gave out DeWalt tools as safety awards, and then I worked for a subsidiary of Stanley so I got steep discount on DeWalt. It is crazy how much that stuff is marked up, but it generally holds up well.

I have some heavy industrial experience with DeWalt and Milwaukee 1/2" impact wrenches. Heavy usage, using it every hour for 12 hours a day 7 days a week. The DeWalts battery rails would wear and loosen, intermittently losing electrical contact. This was a problem with the tool, not the battery, so we’d have to replace the tool. The Milwaukees were smaller and lighter for comparable torque output, so less chance of repetitive motion injury. The Milwaukee batteries eventually shook themselves to death, breaking the plastic fastening locations inside the battery case requiring replacement of the batteries. It was cheaper to replace batteries over time with Milwaukee than replace tools over time with DeWalt.

Milwaukee has a larger variety of tool than DeWalt from my experience. I’ve encountered a few things that Milwaukee makes but DeWalt doesn’t, like battery powered palm nailer.

Looks like Makita also does its own thing.

It can be bad. I also have this superpower, I can pop my ears (open my eustachian tubes) by flexing my throat muscles. The bad part comes when this happens on its own over and over and makes me dizzy. Thankfully that’s only happened twice, but once was almost a whole day. I pop my ears much less now to try and avoid overdoing it.

After our last cat had kidney issues, new cat gets wet food daily. We basically go 50/50, half wet food half dry food. That works out to half a 5oz can a day, 1/4 in morning and 1/4 in evening. She normally eats the wet food within ~15 minutes and nibbles the dry food throughout the day. Not sure if it helps her kidneys but she has maintained a good weight and has the softest coat.

We also use a water fountain to try to encourage drinking, but I don’t think she drinks any extra because of it.

Apple knows where my friend’s cat hides in the woods.

The weird shit helps. Just trimmed she still causes damage, soft paws she doesn’t.

Someone took their wingerprint

When my cat was a kitten, I played with her paws and claws regularly to get her used to it. After a few weeks of that I had no problem clipping her nails. I don’t think she likes it but she tolerates it and gets loves when we’re done.

I also glue “soft paws” to her claws because she loves to destroy carpets and furniture despite the cat trees and our efforts to deter her.

F off with that “larger select a size” crap though.

Whenever they tried to upsell him (super size, pie, shake, etc) he said yes

I have a counterpoint. I used to be the same way but then I realized I just had a bunch of amateur photos of places where professional photos were readily available, basically wasted effort. So now I try to capture the people I’m with in the photos as a way to remember our trip together. This is also great fodder to make photo books for the grandmas.

Who sencha?

That dude’s face is messing with me. Was it shopped?

My biggest beef with the Cash version is “crown of thorns”. It’s almost as bad as when Ceelo sang “all religions true”.

The variants of Mr Self Destruction on Further Down the Spiral are even better all together.

But I have to disagree about Hurt, it is as good as they say it is. I play the NIN version on guitar and it gives me goosebumps.

This happened to me today. Dreading the hold times tomorrow.

I planned a build 2-3 times but never pulled the trigger. What I had for school was always “good enough” but I enjoyed the planning process.
