Always checking for buttons. From JD Power:
Looks like climate and possible media volume have physical controls, so pretty good.
Thanks! I want to try some smaller / varying size fingers next.
Box joint jig (no dado) and demo box
I made a box joint jig following [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyJof__nTR4](Woodfather's video). It's a nice simple/flexible design for those of us without a dado stack.
First try was very sloppy, but once I adjusted the key width and got my clamps set up better the fit is great. The scraps I had around were bed slats off the curb, which were very cupped. But they actually turned out pretty nicely (after plenty of cleanup).
Boiled linseed oil finish.
Good to know!
This is mostly for entertainment, not harvest yield.
Growing asparagus for the first time
Wrapping up its first season, I think we're supposed to get a harvest starting year three.
Good caution. It doesn't seem to shift and I tend to flip it pretty slowly, so hopefully it won't put undue stress on the casting.
Table is 1-1/2" (3/4" MDF + 3/4" plywood). The 3/4" holes drilled with a Forstner bit go all the way through. The clamps are DDWT MFT style hold down clamps.
No mention of reparations as part of this apology.
Although the community of Angoon received a $90,000 settlement from the Department of the Interior in 1973, it has long sought a formal apology.
Mentioning that previous amount just highlights that they aren't doing more / something significant.
My spouse is a teacher who has focused their career on underprivileged students in a variety of schools - charter, low SES, yuppie. They strongly support question 2. I can't lay out a detailed argument for it, but I trust that it's going to remove yet another hurdle from those struggling in school (and those already overburdened while teaching), and is not a significant loss to education quality.
Temperature trace from inside lava cake and oven via custom Tasmota device
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/20112075
I have two type-k thermocouples with breakouts from Adafruit, attached to a ESP8266 (Huzzah I believe). My oven was very old and didn't come with a temperature readout or any kind of preheating status (but thankfully also no builtin WiFi). The Tasmota device reports to HomeAssistant, which stores data in InfluxDb, which I can then chart in Grafana.

Chocolate Lava Cakes (and internal/oven temperature trace)
I baked "Chocolate Lava Cakes For Two", the NYT Cooking recipe. It's one I make semi-regularly, pretty quick on a weeknight and delicious. I have small ramekins so the recipe makes three and they cook a little faster than the recipe's would.
I have two temperature probes (thermocouples on a Tasmota ESP8266 => HomeAssistant => Grafana). Mostly for my entertainment, but here you can see the internal temperature got to 151F, and I was surprised to see how much the oven's temperature rebounded after I took the cakes out, despite being off.
Yeah, looked like someone flying acro, not an auto pilot. That would be a fun flight.
You never know, but art from photos often lacks depth to me. This feels like someone really observed the model's / situation's form.
Company started on Asana, individual teams jumped to Jira, company eventually followed. I was always accidentally creating blank tickets in Asana.
At some point I realized people often ask a question but don't really care about you answering that specifically. "How are you" -> actually I can just tell a story about a hobby related problem I'm working on, and not try to represent my emotional state.
I'm not sure if this is one of those cases, but I could see "what do you want for birthday dinner" as actually meaning "I want to do something nice for you" and if you'd rather pick the night's board game it might satisfy the exchange and make everyone just as happy. Though some people might really want to express care via cooking / feel it's important you engage on that topic.
Volvo is majority-owned by Chinese car giant Geely and because it uses factories in China, it will also be affected by tariffs on imports of Chinese-made EVs in Europe and North America.
Tried to post additional images in the post description but I got an infinite spinner when I tried to post, so adding them here instead.
One piece caught on the blade and kicked back, luckily (or by design actually) I was standing slightly to the side so it just dented the worktable behind me.
Lots of dados / rabbets to cut.
Assembly was fairly smooth, but some of the plywood was bowed so I ended up widening the dados on the sides/bottom for the back panel to sit into to make assembly a bit easier.
For three sets, it took 3x 4x8' 3/4" plywood sheets and 3x 4x8' 1/4" sheets, with a little room for scraps. I considered just a rabbet joint first but then decided on the rabbet and dado. I was relieved that everything went together as planned/measured!
Classroom mailboxes with rabbet and dado joints
I made three sets of classroom mailboxes, for passing in papers / storing journals etc. Sides and back are 3/4" plywood, shelves are 1/4" plywood. Corners are rabbet and dado joints, my first time doing that. I did the cuts on my table saw. (I tried to route them, but didn't get as clean a cut as I'd like with the cheap Ryobi bits I had.) Shelves slide into dados. The sides/centeres are designed so one fence location could cut the top and bottom dado. I didn't have a dado stack, and am using a Shopsmith which has the table saw blade arbor on a quill, so I set the quill stop for my dado width and used that to make multiple cuts slightly apart. That worked fairly well but must have been slightly off on some cuts where it was very hard to slide the 1/4" plywood shelves in; I ended up sanding the edges of some slightly thinner.
Avoiding awkward forced interactions like this is the primary reason I cut my own hair. Otherwise, would be fine contributing to that part of the economy.
The bear was killed, Mr DeSpain said.
Oh, bummer.
The defense called an expert witness on force who testified that six shocks with a Taser was not excessive when dealing with someone who will not follow orders.
Ray Nash, a former sheriff in Dorchester County, testified that the inmate’s violence against his father likely led Lemon to think the Taser was the only option to subdue him.
So, not for being violent or even disorderly or something. Got spikes in him and electrocuted 6 times for being stubborn.
The deputy who shocked the inmate on Lemon’s order pleaded guilty to a federal charge earlier this year and testified against the sheriff. He will be sentenced at a later date.
And the employee takes the fall for the manager.
Phishing text posing as voter confirmation?
I just received a text from (701) 922-7432 saying:
>PUBLIC ALERT: We are confirming your voter file records. Please do not respond with any sensitive information, but do confirm whether your name and address is [full name] at [Street address]. stop = end
I see a recent r/Michigan post about it but not decisive mention of a scam or real campaign.
How to attach miter saw to flip top worktable?
I've built the section of the table that flips. On the saw side, I have 1-1/2" to build up so the bed of the saw is flush with the rest of the table. How would you attach the saw so it's secure to flip upside down?
The top only has holes at the front, for inserting a side clamp.
Maybe bolt through the ends into a block underneath?
FPV plane build progress: Reptile Dragon II
Moving my FC over to it from the ZOHD Dart XL, since I want a rudder.
Labeling servo leads - anyone else use Morse?
It's been a convenient way to write on thin wires, thought I'd share the tip, and curious if other folks do it too.
Also, nice to find this community exists, but it'd be great to see folks posting, maybe we could just share what we're flying!
Refinished the little table I found on the curb
I decided to sand down the top, drawer front, and low shelf edges, but leave the spindles alone. I tried to match the stain but the one I bought (and tried on a hidden area) came out too red, so I skipped staining. Luckily several coats of poly ended up close enough.
Before (previous post):
Refinishing this little table/desk for my young kid. What will yield a fine-not-perfect result?
It has seen some water damage and the varnish is flaking off (especially on the top). But I don't necessarily have the time/energy for a full strip/sand/refinish, especially as this may get dinged up; I'm just looking for a reasonably pleasing look.
Looking at the bare wood that was between assembled pieces, it looks like the piece was stained and then varnished. What's a good way to get the old flaking varnish off without messing up the stain -- Citristip, just sanding? Thinking I'll just put some coats of new polyeurethane varnish on as the new finish. Most instructions I see online are for a really thorough refinishing, so I'm wondering if there's some middle ground that will clean up the worst of the water damage and protect the wood, even if it doesn't look like new.
Closer view of the top:
What kind of wood is this? Solid wood table was getting thrown out, scavenged for scrap wood.
Another angle below. Very dinged up and the end and legs were missing, but seemed like to much hardwood to pass to.
Crumb-catching oak cutting board
My family had one from decades ago that's falling apart, so I made a replacement. I went with toothpicks as little dowels to help join the crossbars to their supports, since the flat glue joint didn't hold for all of them.
I had this one on my list for a while, but also recently found a video from 3x3 Custom doing the same project.
2nd try sourdough English muffins
First try I used AP flour and let the 1st rise go too long I think, and they were too dense. This time I used my regular sourdough recipe with bread flour (920g, with 650g water, 71% hydration) and they came out great.
Thanks for the inspiration from this community!
Accidental cutaway of hole drilled with spade bit. Also is 2x3/4" plywood a good vise jaw idea?
I was checking to see how a 3/4" dog hole would look in a vise jaw made from two 3/4" pieces of plywood. Just clamped for the test, but would be glue for the real thing. Interesting to see the hole opened up. And luckily no splitting, but do you think it would work as an actual vise jaw? This is for a Veritas quick release front vise, so the jaw is only supported in the middle.
Getting evidence-based care may be like pulling teeth, researchers suggest.
A 2020 Cochrane review that assessed the two clinical trials concluded that "whether adults see their dentist for a check‐up every six months or at personalized intervals based on their dentist's assessment of their risk of dental disease does not affect tooth decay, gum disease, or quality of life. Longer intervals (up to 24 months) between check‐ups may not negatively affect these outcomes." The Cochrane reviewers reported that they were "confident" of little to no difference between six-month and risk-based check-ups and were "moderately confident" that going up to 24-month checkups would make little to no difference either.
Likewise, Nadanovsky and his colleagues highlight that there is no evidence supporting the benefit of common scaling and polishing treatments for adults without periodontitis. And for children, cavities in baby teeth are routinely filled, despite evidence from a randomized controlled trial that rates of pain and infections are similar—about 40 percent—whether the cavities are filled or not.
