Jimmy Dore is just circumstantially left. He’s a loving inflammatory moron who happens to be largely on the right side of the political spectrum.

The fact that ironmaster hasn't updated their site to say whether or not notifications have gone out yet combined with only informing you if your entry was drawn and sending nothing if it wasn't is driving me bananas They put up the "will be informed early this week" over a week ago now and it's still there

I forgot that I wanted to respond to this:Bird in a Blender posted:For real, it’s a cutting board for her to use, so I can understand her wanting something that works because otherwise I’m just making her a gift that will aggravate her more. I’ll get it fixed, I think I was just venting because I was mad at myself for the mistake, and at that moment was frustrated with her. As a fellow still-learning-stuff woodworker, maybe this is something you can say to your wife: Woodworking is not just a collection of tool skills. The essential skill in woodworking, as with many crafting hobbies, is problem solving. And like all skills, problem solving requires practice. So, part of the process of making something, especially for the first time, is running into problems, and then working out how to deal with them, yourself. Yes, you can ask for advice if you're truly stuck, but even then, you'll have your own workspace, your own tools, and every chunk of wood is unique in its particular grain and behavior. So you still have to figure it out. How do I clamp this, with my clamps, my workbench, my glue, this particular wood? Why am I getting tearout here, is it this species, my tools, my technique? Why aren't these pieces lining up, did I plane them poorly, should I rearrange grain direction, did they warp after I cut them? This weekend I was figuring out this picture frame I'm making. I decided on the fly that I'm not happy with the quality of hardware-store hanging hardware. And I'd already made a couple of brass strips to hold in the stuff (glass, picture, backing, etc.); so, OK, I think maybe I'll cut and file some brass into one of those jaggy-teethed nail holder brackets, and can I set it flush in the frame? Sure, but that means the head of whatever nail or screw needs a space to be, so I need to cut a recess. How? Drill? Router? Chisel? Hand router plane? What shape? How deep? Do I need to sand? Experience told me to make the brass fitting first, position and outline it, and then cut within the outline, with a bit of space so the fit isn't overly snug. This maple has had a little tearout before, the grain isn't perfectly straight, so I decided to use a steel edge to scribe over my cut lines with a very sharp marking knife, cutting the grains before I did any more work. I started with a small chisel but I wanted a uniform depth, so I moved quickly to my little bitty router plane. But the iron on the plain requires some clearance, and I couldn't get clearance in all parts of the cutout, so I eventually went back to the chisels.  But that was just one approach, that I figured out, to a particular problem. I could have used other tools, or mounted the hardware not flush, or even just left off the hardware and left it to my parents to decide. If I got stuck, asking for advice isn't bad, and I could have learned from that advice, sure. But the process of doing what I described above... looking at my workpiece, deciding I wanted some feature or aspect of it to change, and then deciding how to implement that, was itself a skill I was exercising and developing, and it's a skill that you cannot do without, it's fundamental. tl;dr, when someone else tells you what to do with your project, they are taking away your opportunity to figure it out, and you need to figure a lot of projects out yourself (and make a lot of mistakes along the way) in order to get halfway decent at woodworking. Timby posted:Albertson's owns Safeway. Huh. I thought it was just vons/lucky/albertsons. I wonder what makes them decide to use one particular brand, since we have both albertsons and safeways around here. I've been inside both and it's not like one seems more upscale or different particularly. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Jan 5, 2021 |

I think they've changed their policy ever since getting called out on it but DoorDash used to absolutely gently caress over their drivers on their tips, like they would pocket a huge chunk of the tips given to drivers via the app. This is why IMO you should always cash tip the driver regardless of what app you use for delivery.

Yeah, I always tip cash and ask the driver to knock, because please don't leave the food and run, I'm trying to tip you cash, and like a third of the time, they just leave the food and welp. I guess they're mad because I said no tip on the app?

Has anybody used groupwatch with Disney+? I'm trying to figure out if I can let some friends watch by sharing my account, and creating unique profiles for them. Some of the google results say that yeah, I just need 1 paying account. Other results say that everyone needs their own paying account. It's been a long day at work.

My wife has put "tip is taped on the door!" in the app, food gets dropped, and tip is still left on the door. E: also athanatos you have incredible patience, and despite what qcs says i think you do great. Probably helps that in here its usually self correcting so you don't have to deal with much and can instead throw your efforts into getting wrecked in qcs for another forum. iwentdoodie fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Jan 5, 2021 |

At this point I think the Bachelor is meant to be consumed the same way adult wrestling fans consume wrestling. They know that you know it’s not real and the meta aspect becomes the actual meat of the show. Anyway, this has been my audition piece for The Ringer, I hear they’re short a few writers.
