The cat I grew up with would start gnawing on a paw with this crosseyed look on her face and then she'd start to pull and her little paw would shake under the strain. I half expected her to come away and then just casually spit out a bean.
In the 1940s or 50s. My family has owned it since the 60s.
Would Stacy's Mom be the Millennial equivalent?
And O'Brian went from transporter chief of a well maintained Federation ship to chief technician of a bullshit alien space station. He had a lot more actual work to do.
Well he's wearing the DS9 uniform in this shot.
I can never get over hairless cats' noodly little tails.
I can't get over the fact that's what my cat would look like if she lost a fight with a bottle of Nair.
Yeah, I can see why you got the old nut and bolt, if that's your take from Dan The Spool Of Wire Man. You didn't get it anymore than his wife did. "I've had this spool of wire for 40 years, it used to be this big, now it's about out." He's having some pretty heavy thoughts about his life, where he is in it, how much of it is left, what it's all meant. And before he even gets a real chance to articulate all that, didn't even get a chance to get to the feelings part, his wife interrupts him to give him shit about his hat. And just watch him shut down.
A woman that views that clip and perceives it as a "sweet sentimental moment" isn't empathizing with men. Those men that pumped and dumped you, that you thought you felt a connection with? Yeah they didn't, and I can see why. Gave you the old Phillip J. Fry: Just make up some feelings and tell her you have them.
As for all that crap about cups of coffee...In my home, if I want something to drink, I prepare it and drink it. If I want something to eat, I cook it and eat it. I've been single for a shade over 5 years now and not a single meal in my house has turned into a game of feelings jenga. And if I'm going to live the next 40 years of my life alone, sleeping alone, waking alone, eating alone, drinking alone, working alone, resting alone, dying alone, it will be a bargain price to pay to never again emotionally posture over who makes a fucking cup of coffee.
Electronics engineering is a bit beyond my scope; as an electronics hobbyist or field repairman you're gonna get the closest I have in my kit at the time, I'll probably get within an order of magnitude of the spec unless it's somehow very damn critical or the schematic calls for one of the oddly common oddly specific values like 220 ohm.
Rule by elderly thieves. Klepto-geri-ocracy.
Live not on evil's deeds; live not on evil.
Possibly the wrong community for this, it was either here or casual_conversation which also feels like possibly the wrong community for this, but I haven't found anywhere better.
It is allegedly Men's Health Awareness Month, so instead of doing something lazy like post an image macro telling you it's okay to cry or other bullshit platitude, why don't we all hit the trails and talk about what we see along the way?
I went out to a trail around a lake local to me. Was almost tough getting any pictures at all without getting people in the shot. Used to be you could have the whole place to yourself, I'm not sure I was ever out of sneezing distance of someone the entire 2 miles. Used to be people would say hi as they passed, everyone's got earbuds in these days.
A deer! First of two I saw on this walk. Used to be you'd never see any deer or anything like that around this trail, too many people. But they've been clearcutting the forests around here left and right to slap in those godawful HOA housing developments or apartment complexes that we're running out of woods for the deer to live in. Used to be you'd never see them in town, but now there seems to be one living in the back of my yard. Not sure it's a great sign for the future that all the wildlife is being displaced.
The crik. Hope it don't rise.
I've always liked this spot, the path forks a little here and the lower path gives you this peek at the lake. About 20 years ago now I took the best picture I've ever taken at this spot, I was walking this trail shortly after sunrise, happened to look over, said "That's pretty" and snapped a shot with my LG EnV2.
Desire path? I don't fully understand this one, though I remember decades ago it was a lot narrower, like only bikes ever went to the right.
I don't know what this invasive species is but it's apparently not too healthy for the local trees.
So, now it's your turn. Go on a walk, talk about what you see out there.
I foreshadowed this one pretty good. I'm still working on the countertop but the cabinetry is done.
And here are some of those infernal hinges that are way harder to buy than they should be.
It's a little scratch and dent given it's made out of offcuts, scraps and extras from other projects but I think it came out okay. Three coats of fake "tung oil" finish and it came up to a nice warm semi-gloss, and ambered up the pine enough to take the edge off the grain.
Detail shot of the side hung, center guided drawer and its rabbeted dovetail front and shop made handle.
Yeah I'm going on a bit of a victory lap here, I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out.
I'm slapping together a night stand for my cousin out of crap I have lying around the shop, and I'm using the project as an excuse to try out some stuff.
Carcass is "hardwood" mystery meat 7-ply from Lowe's. Joinery is all dovetails; lower shelf and mid frame are sliding dovetails, upper frame is half-blinds. I did that to see if I could. Answer: Barely. The sliding dovetails were fine but the half-blinds wanted to blow the plywood apart.
Face frame is rift sawn traumatized pine. That's what I managed to salvage from a damaged section of 8:4, and judging by the growth rings that tree had been through at least one divorce. The curve on the bottom I laid out with a bowed spline. First time I've actually done that. It's attached to the carcass Norm style, with Tite-bond and #10 biscuits.
Tomorrow I'll build the drawer.

I'll admit to liking the look of some gaming PCs, with a custom loop with clear tubing, colored coolant, coordinated lights; it hits the same way a well done build in Satisfactory does.
I'm not really interested in gaming peripherals like a big chunky mouse with a bunch of angled plates on it trying to look like Gigatron's jock strap. Some RGB can be kind of cool, I kinda wish I could do more useful stuff with it, like I always throught it would be cool to have RGB lighting that varied from blue to red with component temperature or something. I'm not the biggest fan of just unicorn vomit for the sake of unicorn vomit.
