True!

Lol fair. I wore my XtraTufs on a flight and got some real weird looks in LAX on my layover

No problem! They worked great for me for a few years in Alaska, highly recommend them for snow or wet areas. They make insulated ones, but I never had an issue with the uninsulated ones if I doubled up on socks.

You will, however, get some weird looks if you wear them in an airport outside of the PNW

I call it “don’t live in a place where the air hurts my face”

But actually, XtraTuf boots are great.

Weighted blanket was a game changer. I’ve always hated the cold, and my disgust with temperatures under 80°F grows with every passing year

My joints hurt. I’m around 30, and I beat the shit out of my body through my late teens-mid twenties. My joints feel like they’re about 20 years older than the rest of me some days. Fun experiences for the most part, but I’m paying for those minor injuries piling up over the years.

My wife had a D&C after a miscarriage earlier this year. Luckily, our state isn’t as shitty as others, but the surgery was still labeled an abortion, and they made her answer a bunch of questions like it was a choice and not that our baby was dead for a month before the 12 week ultrasound. And the shitheel front desk woman lied to us and said that no one could be back there with her (obviously not in surgery, but I wasn’t even able to be back in the waiting area with her pre or post op), because that woman was a religious fruitcake and “didn’t agree with the procedure”

We raised some serious hell after finding that out and took it up through their patient advocate. It went up to the hospitals board and they issued an apology, which meant fuck all, and I think that woman was fired.

I don’t understand why people want to be involved in anyone else’s lives. I get it if you personally don’t agree with abortions, but that’s your choice. You don’t get the right to decide what someone else does with their own fucking body. The kicker is that most people don’t even realize that a D&C after a miscarriage is the same exact procedure and is classified the same. Excuse the fuck out of me if I don’t want my wife to die from sepsis or have to sit around for another 1-2 months with a dead fetus inside of her waiting for it to possibly discharge naturally. That whole experience was awful enough and she wanted it to be over as soon as possible.

Fuck your religious beliefs. Apply them to yourself, no one else should bend over to appease your stupid sky fairy bullshit.

Midnight Meat Train. My wife and I were looking for bad horror movies a while ago, saw that this had Bradley Cooper and thought "ehhh, it can’t be *that bad. * Spoiler, it was, but not hilariously bad, just straight up weird bad

Woodworking

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. My brother and I would play split screen, and we always hit a point where we had no idea where to go

One of our dogs growing up (golden retriever), would run laps around the house for hours. He would also play fetch, but he would bring a ball back within about 20 feet of you before dancing around in a circle. The only way to get him to drop the ball was to have a second ball ready to go when he got back wit the first one. He would also try to fit as many tennis balls in his mouth as possible, saw him get 3 in successfully once. He was also terrified of floor vents and the downstairs bathroom. He loved to carry socks around, the dirtier the better. He never chewed them, just carried them around in his mouth.

Loved that derpy dog.

Woodworking for Mere Mortals had some great Microjig ads for a while until he ended the partnership

Gotta be a tie between the Caribbean, Bermuda, and Alaska

High school: Physics or Calculus. Loved Newtonian physics, and I was always good at advanced math (sucked at basic arithmetic for some reason, always got bored and skipped steps)

College: Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, or Fluid Dynamics. Combination of advanced math and physics, always really cool to me. Differential equations was a close fourth.

I liked my moral and ethical philosophy class, up until the professor started evangelizing to us about religion, which kinda ruined it for me

I have the 52" extension and a roller stand that I put on the left side. Typically just yeet it off the edge tho.

To be fair, I’m typically not ripping a full sheet, usually cross cutting the 4’ side. The last few inches are a bit dicey still, but still preferable to a circular saw and messing around with clamping a straight edge. I’ll probably still get a track saw eventually

Probably the SawStop cabinet saw I bought a few weeks ago. It’s way easier/less sketchy than my job site table saw when cutting large panels, and the peace of mind it gives me from a general safety perspective is priceless. I have been doing a lot of projects with full sheets of plywood since I bought it, which has been an aspect of woodworking that I dreaded before. No more crawling around with a circular saw or precariously balancing between a job site saw and an extra table

I’m a project manager, so kind of a mixed bag. Some things will go off without a hitch, maybe even faster. Others will fall to pieces from a logistics and budgetary aspect. Loads of toilets will be gold plated and encrusted in diamonds

Possible to do solo with the right tools/enough muscle and stubbornness, much easier with 2 people
