Reply to Google and Microsoft’s chatbots are already citing one another in a misinformation shitshow by altmorty
" ... citing as evidence a news article that discusses a tweet in which a user asked Bard when it would be shut down and Bard said it already had, itself citing a comment from Hacker News in which someone joked about this happening, and someone else used ChatGPT to write fake news coverage about the event."
Seems like they did their own research!

Right, the lintel is off center to the door. If the opening were enlarged to the right, you'd probably get away with it.

Troubleshooting.
Flip the board over to see if it veers the same way. If so, it is not the board, and you have eliminated one possibility.
I ran into this with a band saw when the blade guide wasn't perfectly straight, but I don't know how that could happen on a jigsaw.

Reply to comment by Earthling1a in Magnetic solution removes toxic "forever chemicals" from water in seconds by chrisdh79
I could see this working best if they were able to channel the water through a trough which introduces the magnetic fluorinated polymer sorbent, then past a series of powerful magnets to remove all magnetic particles.
Then the water flows on.

I suspect you are right in they could have moved back in closer and grabbed a couple, or few more, but then been so much closer and connected to the ones they have to turn away.
I think somewhere in the mix was the need of the collective to get far away from the horror of backsliding out of relative safety.

Which would have been very short had they overloaded the boat.

Reply to Slicing off SS ring by Greg_Esres
If I were doing this in my basement, with the tools on hand, I would do the following.
Insert a long bolt through the tube, add a washer and nut, then tighten firmly.
Clamp the exposed end of the bolt into the soft jaws on the vice.
Use my tubing cutter to portion off the pieces I need.
Disassemble and de-burr.
Failing that, de-burr and lube the tube, then jamb a wooden dowel through it, and take that to the cutoff saw.

When those came out I was young enough to not look too deeply into things, and came to believe they were named that way because you put them in the toaster, where they would "pop up".

Having attempted to roll a ceiling, I'll vouch for that, and promise to never do it again.

> Seconded. DO NOT PAINT OVER POPCORN CEILING OP.
I must completely disagree. When I took possession of my home, the first tradesman in was the painter who sprayed all the ceilings with flat white enamel. Twenty four years later, they are still looking good.
The ceilings are sealed though. With a thin layer of paint as I have, I can tell by one area of inadvertent damage (oops) that a putty knife would take it off easily while dry as the paint offers a slight crust to give leverage.
EDIT: The paint was oil based.

Reply to comment by Porkamiso in TIL that nerves can be grafted and spliced like wires, fixing damage to muscle control or pain by Accelerator231
Thanks for the kind thoughts. Right back atcha.
Mine is only diagnosed in the last four years, but the symptoms had been around essentially forever.
Prior to diagnosis I had been in a private residence to purchase a used item they had advertised, and discovered a particularly unusual hell for the mom and kids of the guy that lived there. I recognize now what I was seeing was someone behaving as if they were having a strong onset of level II attack, and were at the angry fight the tormentor stage. And god help anyone in the blast radius. I stood at the front entrance inspecting the item, and watched this giant of a man stride through the area in full fury, raging at the world, and even glaring at me and shouting, "Who even buys things like this used?!!". The retort, which remained unspoken, was, "who even lists them?".
Everybody around was cringing physically while he ranted, and before he headed out to his workshop and solitude.
I'd be willing to bet that when he is not suffering an attack, he is a good and loving father. He was certainly providing well enough.
And now I realize it truly is better for all involved for me to have remained single. There are times when I simply must shout out my demons, and this is something nobody else needs to hear. It would be too damaging for the average person.
On another note, the day is peaceful and quiet, thank you. Up early, clear headed and productive, and loving it. Christmas carols sung in stone cathedrals playing in the background. Good food, good coffee. All is well for the next hour and that is good enough.
