This is the route I'll probably go when it's time for me to replace my laptop. The 14" Lemur Pro looks perfect for my use case (ultra portable) although the Pangolin looks more powerful.

Been meaning to build a garden shed, so I plan on starting that this weekend

Kind of like how they killed off Poochie

OfferUp and craigslist can be decent for local stuff depending on your area

I don't like the "you actually don't own anything" model and try to buy physical media from independent stores.

A few that I frequent (besides local ones) are Powell's for books and The Rewind for movies. Discogs for music. Also, for audiobooks, checkout libro.fm. You can select an indie bookstore and they'll get part of each sale.

Or if you want to be frugal, checkout your local library. Besides tons of books, manga, movies, etc. a lot now have streaming services as part of your library membership.

That should be fine, just might need to reapply over time as it wears off. They actually say that no finish may be best for things like cutting boards, so could even get away with just leaving it as is.

I've also used Tried & True which is a blend of beeswax and linseed oil.

Like an IBM model M? Unicomp makes a modern version

Lots of blinking geocities and angelfire sites. Waiting for NetZero dial up to noisily connect. Buffering music and video clips.

Yep, read an article about not applying finish to cutting boards for this reason.

Also found out open grain woods might be better at preventing bacteria from building up, was always told the opposite.

Amazing record start to finish. Seems like this video doesn't have Ponciana, which is a great song as well. This and The Awakening are among my favorite bop/post-bop albums

Remember when they removed "don't be evil" from their code of conduct back in 2018

Finally finished one of the projects for my workshop (rolling cart for a bench top planer). Also, the weather's been nice so checked out a new park in the neighboring city.

Thanks, didn't know about the steelbook edition. Those sound like some cool extras, might have to pick it up

Parika is probably my favorite anime movie (perhaps even movie in general). Incredibly visually stunning and cerebral.

Every Frame a Painting has a great video about the director Satoshi Kon's unique style and influence on other filmmakers. Made me appreciate the editing and imagery even more.

I'm also holding out for a compact flagship (with a headphone jack and SD card slot) but things have been pretty bleak. Settled on the Sony Xperia 5 line. While it's not small, it's narrow enough to be used with one hand and checks all the other boxes.

Other models I've looked at were the Asus Zenfone 10, Jelly Max, and Galaxy.

Installed an All American RO from US Water Syatems. Been pretty happy with it, no issues in 2 years and their how-to videos and customer support is excellent if you want to install it yourself. Even bought one for my parents house. The 6 stage version includes a remineralization step, they call it Livation.

"Lead is awesome" - Romans

A lot of times I'll get gaps when cutting a side too short. Now I'll try sneak up on the line with a few cuts and dry fit it in between.

A stop block on a miter saw or miter gauge can help get repeated cut lengths better than a pencil line.

The hand tool alternative is a plane and shooting board. Might need a dedicated 45 deg jig or donkey's ear depending on the size of your pieces.

Somewhat unrelated, but you can get a cable protector to conceal the power cord a bit.

"Correo de las brujas" translates to "the witches' mail" and means gossip or rumors. Kind of like "heard it through the grapevine" or a "a little birdie told me"

Nice shot. Loved the Olympus micro 4/3 line, really fun cameras and super light.
