I sold my motorcycle shortly after moving here. Bring Drivers Ed back to high school! FFS! What are they teaching?

For those considering a hybrid, consider this. You have *ALL* of the regular maintenance of a traditional gasoline engine, with a substantially reduced electrical vehicleโ€™s range. Pure EV: no radiator, transmission, differential, spark plugs, air filterโ€ฆ Rotate the tires, check the break pads. Done.

Your creations are absolutely beautiful. Sucks being self employed. But itโ€™s also GREAT!

How do you know Monty Python? Nee!

Apple dropped support for my 27-inch intel iMac, so Linux was my only option. And I have to admit itโ€™s just glorious on the big screen! But Iโ€™m a nerd. It took me months to explain subdirectories to my CPA wife. (And then she went wild over them!) Bottom line - Ubuntu is the easiest distro Ive used

Point taken. But Iโ€™m way beyond the โ€˜latest and greatestโ€™ bleeding edge of technology phase. Itโ€™s just not worth the money! And I love Linux, especially over Windows - any time I need help wondering around system configuration - there is help online. I just think it is beyond your average user.

Linux is really incredible for anyone who grew up with Unix and terminal command line interfaces. But itโ€™s still too complicated for your average โ€˜I just need a Word Processorโ€™ or the โ€˜Spreadsheetโ€™ crowd. Ubuntu is the easiest distro Iโ€™ve encountered, and I still wonโ€™t recommend it.

Probably MAGA anyway. Their loss.

I fear this is just the beginning. What a time to be alive? Hang on tight over there.

Magnets donโ€™t need batteries. Taping doesnโ€™t need magnets. The old waysโ€ฆ. Lost arts. Erm, did I misinterpret your post?

Drive by a Tesla showroom, they have plenty of them sitting around. Tesla is (finally) taking them as trade-ins. And yes, at a substantial loss.

Yep,I like the cove detail. But I donโ€™t know where youโ€™re going ultimately. Face frames and back boards give shelving a lot of strength, and for a pottery shop, youโ€™re probably going to need it. Iโ€™m guessing painted when finished.

It looks like a fun project. I miss the smell of fresh milled wood.

A wise man once told me that Woodworking was all about recovering from your mistakes. Nicely done. And sliding doves. Very elegant.

Today you need to post as โ€œDenver is too damn HOTโ€

Oh crap.
โ€œHere it comes, here it comes, here it comesโ€ฆ your 19th COVID infectionโ€ฆ.โ€ (ala Rolling Stones). Sorry, it doesnโ€™t quite rhyme. Summer spike of โ€˜Razor Throatโ€™ inbound. Damn.

Loved your selfie at No Kings! All masked!!! Thanks, from those of us who, couldnโ€™t.

Summer wave inbound?! Multiple posts from nursing homes about staff and residents infected, like not seen since 2020. Sounds like, for the moment, NB.1.8.1 isnโ€™t believed to be more contagious, or so someone thinks. *Masks on!*
