I agree that metric is superior in almost every way, but I’m here for pedantry. 1 calorie is the amount of heat it takes to heat 1 gram of WATER 1 degree Celsius. Raw milk is slightly more dense than water so it would take a few extra calories. Cheerio.

We have Dec 24th and 25th off this year. My entire team requested Monday, Dec 23rd off. I denied all of them (after securing it as a paid holiday).

Lots of great advice here. I’ll 2nd the YouTube as a resource. I’ve repaired AC units, a garbage disposal, and replaced the damn water heater all from an hour or 2 of research and watching YouTube.

Also keep a note book that you jot down the seldom done stuff, like blowing out sprinklers, which furnace filter size you need, etc.

Anything you buy for home improvement, from new cabinet handles to drywall, get an emailed receipt and put it in a special folder/tag that you can find again when you sell. Those dollars spent are tax deductible when you sell your house.

Builder’s grade = cheapest shit they can buy in bulk.

Enjoy your new house!

What an amazing read. Thanks for sharing!

Ah I missed that comment the first time.

Trump supports the genicide of Gaza

Me, a child free by choice uncle, slowly closing the door so you cant see my woodworking space… And also deleting my YouTube history.

I feel you. The local alternative station played a “throwback” of Macklemore’s Thrift Shop.

Trump is just the Hitler we have at home.

I use one that works 90% of the time. I can’t remember the exact name so I’ll check when I get home but it’s something like “Purple Adblocker”.

YouTube.com through firefox with uBo for me. SmartTube is super easy to set up and if anyone is on the fence, do it now.

This is kinda funny because there is a company called LabCorp that does a lot of blood, urine, and tissue analysis for doctor’s offices.

City builders and colony builders are major time sinks. Anything with micro-tasks. I just need to finish this one building, I just need to finish this prisoner recruit, I just need to … And then it’s 3 am and you have to wake up at 6 for work. Civilization games do this to me too.

Ryobi garden tools are legit. I have the 40V string trimmer and 40V mower, and an 18V leaf blower, and so far I have no complaints. I once heard someone say that Ryobi tools are R&D for Milwaukee (as they are the same parent company).

My shop tools are all DeWalt because that’s what my parents and wife’s parents bought us for gifts.

10 am is way too late where I live. It’ll be >90 by then, and that’s a great way to get hear stroke. Most people in my neighborhood are out by 730 working.

It’s not the individual contributors writing the website that are making these decisions, it’s people in $1000 suits, sitting on the 44th floor of a Manhattan skyrise asking “how do we make red line go up?”.

Fox news tonight: WHY IS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION NOT DOING MORE TO COMBAT HURRICANES BRINGING DRUGS INTO THE COUNTRY?

Definitely! Peak and Plunge podcast did a really good episode on deep sea mining. Last week tonight also did a great EP on deep sea mining.

Long story short - it will decimate all sea floor life, and is likely to eradicate many currently unknown species.
