RE: Lego Masters - It’s the writing. Will Arnett is an incredibly funny comedian with decades of success under his belt. But the writing for him on LM is too stiff and not funny. In some of the one on one interactions though you can tell when he’s going off script and suddenly things are more natural feeling and so much funnier!
I think I’m gonna shoot for the R2S, or go for the Hyundai/Kia. The R3X is too small, and I’ve never owned anything larger than a midsize sedan.
Scritches with love are infinitely better than scratches from a stick.
Justice for Logan Sargeant!
As long as the US uses a first-past-the-post system, third parties will not be viable. The only REAL way to go forward is to take over the Democratic party and push it left. We’ll see how it goes…
Am I crazy? That’s the exact same title as Newsweek printed. What point are you trying to make?
Alas, your archive link is paywalled too.
We’re all here to see Lance Stroll bin it, and you know it!
83 years old and still kicking ass! But retired ass these days.
My guess is they’re saving their reconciliation bill for something bigger than a continuing resolution. Congress as a whole is limited to just three a year, and only one of them can be about spending. Kicking the can down the road a couple months seems like a horribly inefficient use for reconciliation.
We really do need to choose words wisely when we talk about these things. Inflammatory language only serves to undermine your argument when your claims can be dismissed as exaggeration. Is this a horrific situation? Yes. Is it illegal? Almost certainly. Is it the brazen disregard of law and public opinion people are claiming? Not yet! The Trump admin is allowing Khalil access to family and lawyers, and he will have his day in court. When the arrestees aren’t located in a day and given due process, then we can call them disappeared. Until then, call this what it is and no more. Be factual so people can’t as easily dismiss your facts.
Yeah, but it’ll actually work and make you fall in love with video games again.
Snakes do not abide by the laws of nature.
Check out the show 11.22.63 on Hulu. Exactly about preventing the Kennedy assassination and the fallout from that choice. Seriously good!
Do you have a circular saw? You can do the dadoes in the sides with that by setting up a guide and taking multiple passes. Use a chisel to clean up the base afterward and it’ll be great. For relatable assembly, maybe go for those threaded inserts combined with hex bolts.
If you search for “knockdown bookshelf” you’ll find tons of options. But my preferred way would be:
Vertical sides with a dado for each shelf. The top shelf should be set a few inches below the top of the side boards. Use the extra height on the sides for decoration.
For the top and bottom shelves (and if you’re doing it tall, maybe also the middle shelf), in addition to the dadoes, make a pair of wide through mortises.
The top and bottom shelves get extra long tenons to go through the mortises. They should stick out enough to put a tusk or wedge on the outside.
Put all your shelves in, stick the wedges in the tenons, and enjoy your rock solid bookshelf.
Generally speaking, putting the full weight of a shelf onto any screws is a dangerous idea. Screws tend to fall immediately and completely, and that’ll take the whole shelf with it. If you prefer to go screws, still a good idea to add dadoes into your side pieces to hold the weight, and use the screws to hold the sides in place.
More important than the screws is the furniture you’re building. Is it a bed? Table? Giant Victorian highboy with a bajillion drawers? The knock-down needs for all of those are different.
So uh… What are you making?
They take responsibility, but don’t actually stop putting pressure on him. “But I also think flip it the other way, we’ve got a duty as a team to perform, got 900 people who depend on us to make the right choice for the team…”
