Ah. Mistook the red pepper for a jar of instant coffee.
- Comment on Can I use your shower? 4 hours ago:
I don’t know about the coffee and salad dressing, but, I totally keep a bottle of Ajax dish soap in the shower.
It’ll cut the gear oil off you.

That tasty gif never gets old.
Boom! Knocked the fuck out.

I really like the interpretation of Cain and Abel having it’s roots in the transition from Hunter Gatherer to Agraian society. Gobekli Tepe and all that.
Another couple of fun ones are Christmas trees being forbidden in Jeremiah and cannabasam (forget where in the OT). I assume your uname is in reference to that cannabis use. The manna as psychedelic mushrooms is also a cool idea.
- Comment on Accidental rapture 6 days ago:
I like Cain and Abel/hunter gatherer vs agrarian theory.
The whole sons of god are angels having hybrid giant babies with human women is just a lot of fun.

Was raised in fundamentalism, lost my religion over a decade ago. (I’m cool with religious people that aren’t evil shitheads trying to brain wash children.)
You’re right about the snakes. Also, the plural tenses in Job are weird.
Not related to the post. What’s your take on the Nephillium?

Little people were employed in the building and inspection of B-24s. Henry Ford Collection
Guess there’s some sort of truth to what I remember.

Very possible it’s some crazy shit I was told as a kid. I’ll have to do some digging.

Is this your first day on the left side of the interwebs? Atheists and agnostics are the norm. We’re mostly over it and not every shitty thing done is a direct religious issue.
Religion is just another control. Causes not symptoms.

Didn’t they recruit little people to be aircraft mechanics in WWII? They could fit inside fuselages and wings?

This is fantastic! I didn’t know this standard existed.
New life goal is somehow getting this added to a production print.

Not OP, but instrumental metal for working: Karma To Burn, Red Sparowes, Pelican (Pelican can feel a little souless but that’s my opinion).

I agree with you. I still can’t make sense of it and I don’t understand how he is seen as having charisma. Even his voice is repulsive.
He’s so fake and slimy in his mannerisms.
Only thing I can figure is that many people just don’t perceive him this way and find him warm and personable.
- Comment on Antique Electro-Cautery Unit: Measuring voltage with ADC and general safety. 1 month ago:
I looked at the ZMPT101B, not sure if it will work at that low a voltage.
Did some quick looking at the ideal diode modules available on Amazon, but they were just schottky drop or so. Sparkfun had one that might work. Ideal diode is definitely the right sort of thing, just have to find one ideal enough. If I can find the right one, it should work.
I’ve been looking at precision rectifier op amp circuits. Even half wave gets me what I need.
- Comment on Antique Electro-Cautery Unit: Measuring voltage with ADC and general safety. 1 month ago:
That would be modern practice, wouldn’t it? It won’t affect operation at all and should be safer. Ground wire wasn’t really a thing when this was made.
I’ll be doing this.

Porque no los dos?
I’ve found that subs really dig it when you’ve machined your own spanky tools…
Also, HAAS are some jank ass machines. Tiny ways, newer controls are glitter covered shit, they fucked up the remote handwheel…

Huh. I’m not sure how far back furries go.
If not, it’s certainly proto furry porn. Pretty sure it predates the formulation of Rule 34.

This was covered back in '93 on usenet. Behold: Smuckfest!

Might think about taking a break for a while. I have to, sometimes. Do some camping and mostly unplug. Anything real big goes down and you’ll hear about it.
Marathon, not a sprint. Fuck em, we’re harder. Country boy can survive.

That’s fantastic.
I’ve known a lot folks that talk like Boomhauer, (I’ve been told I do, as well.)

Black Hole Sun and Beavis and Butthead were both on MTV back then. I don’t remember if they watched the video on the show.
Anyhow, that video was up there with NIN’s Closer for general weird awesomness. The crazy smiles and expanding eyes are burned into my memory.
Also, proto Hank Hill on Beavis and Butthead.
I remember my grandfather being very upset about the “Beaver and Butthole” show.

I very much agree. It is held up as this wonderful parable of how you should live. It’s the sort of thing that the powerful use to take advantage and abuse the weak.
This kind of puerile shit is bad for children and is just like a lot of the Jesus crap that gets pounded into kids.

He sounds like a pretty awesome dude. Thanks for sharing. Also sounds like he has you pretty well trained, he gets to ride and sniff.
We don’t have a small dog right now, our elderly Chihuahua reached the end a couple years ago and my wife is still raw.

I never really figured out you had to drive as fast as possible and that the fuel level was actually a countdown timer. I was crazy about the cartoon and remember being so disappointed with the game.

That’s really funny to me. What was his name and what was he like?

Rock and Roll!
What cheap woods are the most impact resistant for splintering and splitting?
What is the best way to cure wood to prevent splitting without a kiln? Slap a heavy coat of latex paint on a log/burl/root and let it sit 6mo/year?
What are the most machinable hardwoods? (In particular as regards tearout, warping, and tolerance of thin sections)
In your opinion, what is an available underappreciated or interesting wood to work?
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 months ago:
Are you actually a wood scientist; and, if so, can I pick your brain?
Nice saw, BTW!

I’ve always heard this. Helped with pit on a friend’s dad’s drag car when I was a kid. It makes sense, but I’ve never looked into how large of an effect it actually is.
