Also, a sharp chisel and patience is all you really need for bow ties. Try some practice runs on some scrap and see how you fare.

With a poly coating on there it’s more difficult to say.
Personally I keep an eye on the colour of the wood. When it starts to look dry and pale, it’s time.
The wood will let you know, it will stop soaking the oil and wax and you then wipe off the excess and start buffing.
It may let oil seep out for a few days after, as it adjusts. Just wipe that away. Food grade mineral oil (which I use for all my boards) is non toxic, but it is a laxative, so do wipe up and excess before using the board 😁

Bowing and warping is a natural response to moisture changes. It may be unavoidable.
Getting the moisture content back to where it was may reduce the severity of it. Keeping it there means regular drying, oiling and waxing the board.
You can use things like bow ties to help hold the seam together. Blacktail Studio on YouTube has a good (imo) video on installing a bow tie.
For filling it, you can use a food-contact rated glue, like Titebond 3 and clamp the crack back together.
If the crack is too large to close, you can fill it with sanding dust mixed with a food safe wood glue.
Or! Go all in, remove some material to give you clean flat surfaces to glue in some new material. You can hide it or highlight it, depending on the wood you use.

Some companies have a reputation for shipping shit and never fixing it.
Others ship shit and then polish that turd until it shines.
I do firmly believe this is one of the former.

So you know your bucket of Lego? It’s a bunch of blocks that can move around each other. (Swish some around to demonstrate)
Water is made up of little tiny block that can swish around too. When you make them cold, they start to stick together. (Start connecting Lego blocks)
The colder it is, the more they connect, until all the water blocks have joined up together and made a bigger block of ice.
Then, when you heat the ice up, they start to come apart and move freely again.
So, heat is movement and cold is connected. This is the same for almost everything!
Lava from volcanos is just rocks that have been heated up enough to move. When the lava flows out and cools down, it hardens back into rocks.

When we said “Do something “ what we meant was “Fund the police to brutalise them and restrict their rights!”

Yes, the fights are very well done. The protagonist mecha, the Eva’s, operate under some strict rules that mean every fight is a close one. The enemy, the Angels, adapt to each loss and force the protagonists to play catch up.
God wants us dead. Humanity has already been nearly wiped out, only a fragment is holding on. The Angels are a cleanup crew, all they have to do is simply touch their goal and the remnants of mankind are instantly destroyed.
Against that backdrop you have a story told by a man who is clearly suffering deeply. Hideaki Anno’s depression is on full display through the themes of loss and grief and abandonment. But those themes are strongly countered by those of friendship, purpose and being part of a greater whole.
It is beautiful and grotesque. Hollow and hopeful. Goofy and deadly serious.
It may not be your cup of tea, but it is a masterpiece.

It sounds like you want something a little more arcadey than realistic.
If I were you (and multiplayer sounded like a good time) I would legit consider something in the Battlefield series.
Arma 3 has a bunch of land sea and air vehicles and a lively modding community creating missions for you to play solo or multiplayer.

I jumped ship to PopOS a few months back.
There are some issues, like Bluetooth not starting without some terminal commands, I think I have to wipe or otherwise mess around with my 1TB NTFS storage drive to mount it and stuff like that.
But all the games I’ve tried to play work fine.

It’s true, but Intel fucked around for years and now they’re finding out. I’m happy to watch them stew for a year or so before getting back on their feet.
