Went through these about once every 12-18 months at a Very Large Company. Brought the system to its knees. Always thought of it as coming through a “mailstrom”.

To second this, I added flip down wheels. Most of the time it sits on the floor, but when i want it out in the middle of the room, either to accommodate a workpiece, or because it’s time to flatten it again (because slab top) it’s really nice to just flip down the wheels and roll the bugger around.

Love these. Mine took most of a year of weekends, made from a slab cut from NYC street trees. Best thing I’ve ever built. Building something else on it now. You’ll love it!

Arlo White once similarly referred to “the meaty French forehead of Olivier Giroud”.

Oof, that's annoying. Under the circumstances, I'd think the best thing to do would be to dig it out a bit and fill with gravel and sand to lock it in. But that's hard to do well and not the right way to do it.

What’s holding it in place? Could it be jacked up enough to allow you to put some gravel fill under it?

Sure you’re not doing your new tequila photo on national author day?

Followed the same path for the same reasons. Except the boat.

Those big cookies aren’t going to eat themselves.

Transubstantiation vs Consubstantiation aside, the two are just not that far apart. Abiding interest there, often proportional to how much of a church nerd one is…🙃

Not a spanking? Sniff.

Helped a friend shrink a 2.11 kernel enough to run on a DEC PRO-350 (F-11 chip, if I recall). Booted on one floppy, swapped to the other. It was NOT FAST. But it ran, and we got it on the network…

Not much fun for 24 hours (in my case), but worth it. Give me all the vaccines.

Empanadas are worth it.

Stay strong! Em-dashes are great!

Seems like talent is “knowing it’s not right yet.” You’re doing fine.

Ah, you’re talking the good stuff. The last batch I had was from Costco, Chateau Ste Michelle in WA. Not Alsatian quality, but still has that light spiciness that makes it so nice.

I love Gewürztraminer, armed or otherwise. Even Washington Gewürztraminer.

Expect I’d still enjoy them, though.

Wow, I’d forgotten those. When I was a kid, “Neither Five Nor Three” was a favorite, but thinking back now…it was very “of its time” Fifth Column stuff.

Damn, almost made joke 1. D’oh!

And an F1 gnome cart seen through the sallyport?

In my case it’s the sounds I make getting up from the chair being mistaken for incandescent rage. Well, not so far off.

Another for the “I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” file.

Running BSD, RSX, RSTS, or what?

That sounds like fun.

This can always use more research.

Just old enough to remember the observation deck at Love Field.
