Joey Freshwater posted:At a bar and there’s a guy wearing a Muff Diver hat. He’s an OSU fan so not really surprised Well, we know for sure it's not DJ Khaled  I'm at work for another hour, then I was planning to attempt to clean the windows after we close, but it's like 90 degrees out and I don't want to do it. So that may be a project for an EARLY weekday morning next week. I could just hire someone, but the estimate was like $500 and it won't take more than about an hour for the amount of glass we have and I don't want to pay for it. Other plans include gym today and yard work tomorrow. I'm also working on building my wife a cutting table for her sewing room, so I've got to go to Home Depot for supplies. Pretty low key.

father in law and his wife is coming over for lunch as a make-up on his birthday that we missed due to our european vacation then laundry and house chores got a birthday party to go to tomorrow, a guy I've hung out with to play boardgames with but this seems to be the start of a "we also do other social stuff besides boardgame night" friendship which is very cool gonna try to go see Solo this weekend if I can swing it I started reading "Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants" which is actually a fun and not very technical book written by a steely eyed missile man who spent his career experimenting with rocket fuels, which is exactly as insane and life-threatening as you'd imagine. Forward by Isaac Asimov. It's been out of print for decades but Rutgers University Press finally agreed to reprint it due to popular demand. What books are y'all reading right now?

Petite Dinklage posted:D-LINK, whenever you check back let me know what you think about this for small(ish) home projects I'm not D-LINK but I do frequent the woodworking thread, which advised me about buying my own table saw. The standard advice for table saws is: unless you actually need a portable saw, you are way better off with a non-portable one, because solid stability is important. I got a big heavy Delta that is like 25 years old and in excellent condition off Craigslist for $150. If you are willing to take your time looking on Craigslist you can probably get a lot more saw for your money than buying one new. All that said, that particular DeWalt is fine for a contractor saw. If you're trying to cut sheet goods it is not gonna work for you because of the small table and no outfeed tables. If you're resawing millcut timber it is not gonna work for the same reasons. If you're just chopping up 2x4s the first saw you want is a miter saw, such as a compound sliding miter (https://www.homedepot.com/s/compound%2520sliding%2520miter%2520saw?NCNI-5). So the real first question is, what do you want to accomplish with your table saw? Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Jun 9, 2018 |

I think i'd rather have a circular saw than a jobsite table saw, and you can probably fit in a miter saw too for that price. it's probably just me but paying ~$100 for just the stand alone feels asinine. it's good to have something that securely fits the saw but it's basically a folding chair, for a hundred bucks. If you're doing this as a hobby with a dedicated space then the rigid table saw is good, it's solidly mid-level and repositionable with some foot pedal activated casters.

Yeah the $600 Rigid is a decent saw I believe, although also budget another $100+ for a good fence, and some more money for accessories. Or instead spend $300 on craigslist and get a similar saw, with a fence and accessories.

I just ate an awesome tofu bao at a street festival in my neighborhood. Then I got too hot walking around so I’m back home watching an episode of Safe on Netflix. Gonna relax for a bit and take a nap before we go out for crazy party time tonight.

I thought it was going to be hot as balls today but it's actually really mild, like low-mid 70s out. I don't mind my in-laws but I wish they weren't coming over *today*, because I'd have liked to use the weather to do some outside chores and stuff that I know I'm never going to get done when it's like 85+ out, which around here tends to be almost every weekend from june through october.

“I’m 94 years old, and in all my time on Earth, the one thing I think I’ve really learned is everything I know doesn’t amount to much, I’ve never really done anything, and the world keeps on turning.” My grandmother is an eerily relatable look at what my future will be, I love visiting her.

Leperflesh posted:What books are y'all reading right now? I just finished "Head On" by John Scalzi, it's the second book in the "Lock-in" series about people who have a disease called "Hayden Syndrome" which essentially traps them in their mind, and they can remote control robots to have usable bodies.It's a buddy cop thing with a robot / human FBI agent. Both books are pretty good, and very quick / light. I could totally see it being a decent movie or TV series. Now I'm reading a book called "This book is not for you" by Daniel Hoyt. I don't think it is particularly good, but it is set in Lawrence, KS and it's fun to recognize all the locations. Last year I read 46 books, I was attempting to read 1 every week but fell a bit short. This year I'm way off that kind of pace, and will be lucky to finish half that many. I kind of have to read for work so I read quite a bit.

I started reading 100 years of solitude but it's just not clicking for me. I'm sure the prose is fine in the original Spanish but parts of the translation are a slog. I'm about ready to give up on it and move on to something else.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Really? What didn't you like? It was a really intense experience for me. My only complaint is that the ending is a little too clean A lot of the scenes intended to be scary came across as hokey to me. The seance where the mom was possessed was silly and cringey, and then at the end where the mom went full on deadite...that belonged in a Sam Raimi movie. Oh and at the end when she floated into the treehouse. I was taken out of the movie over and over because of moments like that that didn’t read as “scary” to me. I didn’t like the super obvious broadcast that the grief group lady knew her mom. As soon as she made the comment about the doormat I knew that her intentions were not what they appeared to be. Then when she said hey read this incantation I knew exactly where the movie was headed. By far my biggest complaint was the ending where the lady delivered a bunch of expository dialogue explaining every single detail of what was happening. It felt unnecessary and very cheesy. I kept thinking, “Ugh, they were forced to add this in post after test screenings. The best parts were the depictions of grief and family drama. Luckily there was a lot of that. When the girl is decapitated in the car, all the way to the casket being lowered into the ground...that was really hard to watch. I had a horrible pit in my stomach because I know what that kind of unexpected grief feels like. So yeah, I’m disappointed that it had potential to be one of my favorite horror movies in a while but I couldn’t get past these flaws.

One of the books I've been reading is Nixonland as suggested by this thread. I've been getting ants in my kitchen for the first time ever in my place. I put out the poison traps in the kitchen, outside, and used something called home defense in and out too. Its been two weeks anything else I should be doing other than just being super clean all the time?
