  • I’d recommend the following set of tools:

    • Cordless drill (any major brand is fine, I like Milwaukee)
    • Hand pull saw (whatever is fine)
    • Set of decent chisels (Narex is great value)
    • Corded circular saw (Makita 5007F is a great choice)
    • Random orbital sander (DeWalt has some fairly good budget models)
    • Clamps, clamps, more clamps

    Most of all though, get good wood. I actually strongly recommend starting with plywood primarily if you don’t have access to quality lumber since you won’t have to do any surfacing.


  • I saw someone drown in a pool when I was 11. I noticed there was someone sitting at the bottom of the deep end, told the lifeguard who hadn’t yet noticed, but it was just barely too late. Later learned they had experienced a seizure and sank.

    I mostly just remember how pale they were, and being annoyed that pool time got axed for the remainder of summer camp. I never felt much about it. Shit happens, people die, just the way it goes.




  • I’m tired of seeing this worn out point. What exactly would you propose he do that is:

    1. Actually possible for him to do

    2. Not going to make the situation worse

    3. Not something he is already doing

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like what Israel is doing either but the US has painted themselves into a corner long before the Biden admin. We can’t stop supporting Israel without basically ceding control of the region to Iran, and I guarantee Iran will do shit that will make Israel look like Mr. Rogers by comparison.

    I’m not saying there’s nothing he could be doing better, but I don’t see any productive discussion from the people calling him Genocide Joe.

    And all that aside, he’s still by far the preferable alternative to Don Cheeto who would likely actually be a genocide enabler.
