Ah, very interesting. At some point I’ll clear room and take my dad’s saw. That predates 2003 for sure, but I remember it having a flappy clear cover over the saw and two serrated tails to prevent material slide back (not sure if that’s also kickback). It mounts into where the riving knife would be and I assume it’s mount is, effectively, a riving knife itself. We never did fancy work though, just plywood shelf cutting (now replaced with a battery circular saw) and ripping 2x4s like idiots.

Based on the context in the video, it seems like people remove it. Why?

Holy fuck. That intentional accident genuinely upset my stomach. I don’t think I know anything about table saw safety. I guess it’s good I don’t own one but at least now I know what the shark fin is for. I’ve had my fair share of incidents with chop saws, handheld circular saws, and chainsaw wheels but chop and table saws stills care me more than cutoff wheels.

I’m no ecologist but this sounds sound to me. That is, assuming, pay comes up too and not just the cost of living.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

It’s not just urinals. The first day of the year with shorts at home always brings a surprise chilly mist on my shins from a regular toilet. It is what it is. You’re doing it as good as it gets. Either you’re experiencing the normal amount of spray or your stream makes extra spray. Either way, it is what it is, it sounds. All you can do is lean forward and spread your feet asuch as you can to avoid collecting the mist. Side wall is my go-to. Lipped walls are my enemy.

I forgot about FTFY. I don’t know if I’ve seen it on lemmy

There’s like 10 years between starting Pokémon Red and beating the final four for me. I didn’t have the guide books but eventually it was easy to get help from the internet for a handful of hangups. I put it down for a long time somewhere after like 4 gyms, came back years later, and spent maybe 6 months playing on the commute

I assumed the job of the camp was to break up the silhouette more than make the person invisible. Humans know an orange hat and strap comes from the store; deer do not. Is that really not the case?

Side note about the brakes reference: that thread was frustrating because the headline readers were assuming the mechanical brakes were being deleted and relying solely on regenerative braking. They weren’t. It was replacing the hydraulic portion of the mechanical brakes with electronic sensors and actuators. While I naturally have concerns about electronic failure, it’s not like hydraulic brakes are immune to problems. I’ve had lines rust out and leak, pistons leak, pistons seize, lines clog, and slides seize. Very anecdotally, no failures of electric parking brakes.

Anyway, very neat etymology for both a term and tool I use. I never really considered “try” to be separate meanings between “attempt” and “test” because I took an “attempt” to be a “test” of ability.

So did most of us. No reason to be hostile to someone who took more time but still committed. The day they monetized the API was the 3rd best day. Today is the 4th best day.

This list has a certain… Je ne se quois about it

Why not Reddit? I’ve found more reddit users irl after I left than anytime before. Seems plenty normal. Otherwise, facebook/tiktok/Instagram/YouTube scrolling. I assume Tumblr and Twitter, too. A myriad of endless mobile games based around bubbles, blocks, or tower defense. I’ve also seen cross stitch and paint by numbers type apps. I’m sure there’s people that doomscroll regular news sites.

I’m guessing you’re looking to use your time better and want recommendations though, not just a list describing how every cohort is doomscrolling their little diminishing dopamine box.

Are you not entertained?

I was hoping for recommendations of reasonable discussion. I want to exhaust all logical explanations before getting to the purely… theoretical. These clips haven’t been covered by my usual channels so I wasn’t sure where to look to find where it’s been “discussed plenty” so if you have some recommendations, I’d appreciate you sharing them.

I’m all for logical explanations. I enjoy the debunking because it’s fascinating to see how a relatively mundane event can be so strange without full context. I went to one of the “drone” hotspots at some point and, while I do beleive there were some drones at some point, all I found were fields of people who had never looked at regular planes at night before. They had no concept of the idea they had no concept of distance and therefore no basis for determining altitude. Plus most didn’t know which direction the major airport was, likely because they follow a road labeled “north” despite going ENE for that stretch.

Thanks. That did at least bring me to Hank Green showing the 2025 UAP over the water discussing a number of details I wouldn’t have recognized on my own. The mileage readout and the wide shot made it make sense instantly

Alright, I misunderstood “I’m not good enough”. I’m not familiar with whatever loan standard you’re taking about, as it’s different here. Not like it’s a good system here anyway, still predatory as hell.

Leave yourself a healthy stash of money. 3-6 months of loan cost plus, I don’t know, 5-10% of your down payment? Houses bring all kinds of new expenses. Some emergencies, some priorities, some luxuries you’ll want. We’re in different markets but it took at least 3 years to feel comfortable in my home financially.

With or without the word, it was the same mentality elsewhere, too. Many Irish diasporas align with Italians. They clashed with each other because they arrived at the same time at the same place. They put each other down to try to climb up.

Then as they clowly rose neck and neck, dispersing into better neighborhoods, they freed space for the next bottom rung to move in. So naturally, the bitter rivals became best friends and, together, shit on the next diaspora.

The cycle repeats.

Perhaps 3 of them. Stacked in a trench coat.

At no point should anal seem interesting. Hormones go up. Brain go dumb. It doesn’t really take much digging to find “documentation”, just keep watching whatever it is for an extra 5 minutes

I have a honda with linked brakes, the precursor to ABS implementation. Rotation in the front left caliper applies one of 3 rear pistons, rotation of the rear caliper applies 1 of 6 front pistons. I have like 5 bleed valves on the 3 calipers and 2 or 3 valves inside the frame.

But it’s very difficult to lock up the rear wheel. I’ve never had it happen in a straight line.
