Yes, a pencil almarknhas width. That’s why you choose a side of the line to cut. I’ve been woodworking for decades, and nobody ever needs more precision than a pencil because wood’s movement and change over time is enough to erase that extra precision.

The series was a solidly decent story, but the production was spectacular. The practical puppet effects are mind-boggling.

Not as specific as it should be. They’re all insane with the tools and materials these days.

Let’s make a box for Amazon deliveries.

We’ll start by breaking down this $300/sheet plywood with my $1500 festool track saw setup plugged into my $1,000 festool vacuum.

Now, before we actually start cutting, let’s measure and square everything up with this $150 Woodpeckers square and a $60 knife I use for some reason instead of a fucking pencil…

They’re saying that the fact that they folded makes all the harm of the last 40 days meaningless. These 8 motherfuckers waited until extra harm had been done before signing off on the harm caused by getting the ACA.

This outcome is the worst possible. If they’d been spineless 6 weeks ago they’d still be traitors, but this is somehow even worse.

“We ensured a vote!”

Bullshit. Even if the vote happens, it won’t pass, and even if it did, Trump could veto it. This was the one chance to save the ACA and also to really damage Trumpism. The shutdown was devastating to the GOP and the Dems would have won eventually just like in 2019, but instead these 8 traitors are handing the country over when they’ve just had their only real opportunity to fight this administration.

Fuck them all. Every single one of them should be ejected from the caucus.

Yep. And since I carry 3 laptops in my backpack (2 for work and one personal), it’s a problem.

Though I will say the fact that all 3 can be powered by Type-C cables has been since huge life improvement since i don’t need to carry around 3 different charging bricks.

He’s lying, but also between healthcare costs, tarrif-driven inflation, grocery costs, and now cutting off food to millions of Americans $2000 doesn’t mean shit.

Denying people their aid is bad enough. Now they’re trying to take the money back.

I think they legitimately want violence in th street as a pretense for the Insurrection Act.

You could do that.

But have you considered going back into the mines and working for the benefit of billionaires?

Municipal development guy here.

You’d be amazed how many contractors and architects have issues with stair math.

Ken Lay absolutely faked his death.

It’s really, and is still very much a thing.

And they really do have a “belt” system. Because of some bullshit ai had to do at an old job, I’m a Six Sigma Yellow Belt. I’ve never had my time wasted more.

Getting it to display on a screen is gonna cost enough to kill any value proposition.

How many people in 2025 are still going to be using a display with vintage inputs?

Can they fix the “randomly turn itself back on and drain the battery while in its bag so that it’s always dead when you actually need to use it on the go” problem?

Because that’s been a problem for like 20 years at this point and means I have to treat my laptops as if they don’t actually have batteries because it’s schrodinger’s power any time I pull one out to work.

I was at a conference this week, and half the attendees were huddled in the cafeteria the whole time because there were some tables on one wall with outlets.

Welcome to the ranch.

Did you know there are people finishing their Master’s degrees this year who weren’t alive for September 11th?

I literally typed that Aliens was the other major contender at the bottom ofnthe comment, then deleted before posting because I didn’t want to be too fanboyish about James Cameron.

But… yeah. Dude can make an action flick. Heck - the Avatar movies didn’t change the world with their messaging, but dammit if the action scenes aren’t jaw-dropping.

The TV series from the mid-2000s was actually pretty decent, but it was canceled like 2 seasons in and never finished its story.

But yeah, T2 isn’t gonna be topped. I think it is a strong contender for best action film of all time.

In Texas, I had employers that counted use of sick leave against your attendance metrics, and would fire you if you used it more than 3 times in a given year.

Lazlow, Dan Houser, and the rest of the old creative team at Rockstar are no longer with the company.

GTA6 is gonna sell like mad regardless, but unlike the last several Rockstar blockbusters I’m waiting to see if it’s good before giving them any money.

The government that needs its shit sorted most isn’t US allies
