  • That’s it guys, wrap it up. Time to stop trying cause previous attempts didn’t work.

    State laws are enforced VERY differently than other crimes. And presidents (and expresidents) are (and should be) treated differently than other people.

    If someone is charged with a crime, but the people vote them into office, the election should be more important than a conviction.

    There are a lot of politicians that are currently being targeted by this administration, and if you claim that their charges (and possible convictions) disqualify them from office, then that’s just more reason to keep targeting political opponents.







  • You can use t-nuts for a lot of reasons. A t-nut specifically is for screwing machine screws into wood. This particular use case is using that machine screw as a leveler, but it’s not the only case.

    Sometimes you just want a large, solid bolt to hold things together, but allow them to be taken apart. In those cases I try to put the t-nut the other way around so assembly tightens the nut.



  • It’s not that bad, when used correctly they stay put a long time.

    When I design furniture that needs one, I usually design it so the t-nut goes in from the other side so the screw secures it in, but honestly unless the wood gets wet, the t-nut will hold fine.

    There are similar t-nuts with tiny screws instead of hammer in options. You can chisel out the wood and epoxy in a hex nut. You can just screw the leveling foot directly into the wood. You can put a larger metal plate in place.

    But if the wood fails and the t-nut falls out, you can also just repair the wood or epoxy it back in and it’ll hold for another few decades.

    Most wood furniture won’t last forever without repairs anyway, the fixes over the years are part of the charm.
