nostr:npub1ztxcrpp7m7japy6nrzqwy72v6g5alnqaxuda8cm9m63ffnfe0c4q67t572 yeah, I wasn't sure how to go about it but I liked the idea. Glad it worked out, even if you sit on one side it's stable. 😮💨


nostr:npub1sjxfwzxk0l9c234gdpvysxquhwvx92hyq2t6fvgphadgju5sw54q8h2myu woah, that's so cool!


Build log: day 5. The glue-up was quite stressful, getting the stretcher and the second leg aligned at the same time was a bit of a challenge. I'm quite chuffed with having completed the whole build in five days. I'm going to leave the cedar unfinished and have it age into the gray (sand it back in a few years). Delivery day is tomorrow!

nostr:npub1rvfypjlr7werzj4nrvq4geeyvrjwpuf4kazyrnms7tw49kp0rhtqmat0qk thanks for the tip! It's my first time using it so I was so slow I almost negated the advantages 😂
I had not secured the thinner stock properly and just pushed it where I was using the domino for the wide flat leg. Good lesson learned and thanks again for the feedback!

nostr:npub1rvfypjlr7werzj4nrvq4geeyvrjwpuf4kazyrnms7tw49kp0rhtqmat0qk cheers mate! It's nice that it didn't wander too far laterally and I could just use a domino to plug it and cut it flush.


nostr:npub162d3x6ue6kfwcs9u82yf2yg2durm3sarfvvnf4f403hfp7w93kgsts7rq9 thanks! Yeah, good call on the support, hope it provides enough support against racking.

nostr:npub1wmfff9803yx54w3ns3qcu6vhf4h2rwt705lrfanh0jzkxy8jn28s939w69 service provider works, contractor or consultant are also used often.
You could reach out to your contacts at the company to let them know you've applied, even if they're not directly related to the hiring process. I always like it when a great contractor/consultant wants to work direct and I send in an internal recommendation. Good luck mate!


nostr:npub1m8vq2sjqqjxk27n66zqjl0kkzmxy02xec0ypagd7ujj02x2juy0s4jw90y I feel like that should also be a browser/email client override that can be set through org policy. There's all this phishing training and even emails don't have links underlined. And then I see official emails with link text being different than the actual URL. Really sends conflicting messages about how seriously we should be taking links we encounter! /rant


Build log: day 3. The four corners are in, so worst case scenario I will end up with a very uncomfortable but functional commode!

All four Leg A tenons slide in smooth like a glove. I had to meticulously craft a bespoke floating tenon for Leg B to achieve a fit. It fits like my pants after Thanksgiving meal but it does stay on.

nostr:npub14wsy68pyduanfdrqrrrr7j62qezr0nemfvsprcvkyk7xz49gyrxs0rdrhu fascinating idea. If you're looking for weight distribution you could prototype with taping metal washers on a case. I'm not sure how much plastic you'd need to distribute weight, I imagine it would become very thick.


The slat bevel cut design inspired by nostr:npub1m8vq2sjqqjxk27n66zqjl0kkzmxy02xec0ypagd7ujj02x2juy0s4jw90y's awesome table build. Inspired by sounds better than stolen from, right?


My aunt made a passing comment wanting a bench for her garden so I decided to make one. I was only able to get this excellent reclaimed 8/4 cedar this weekend so now it needs to be a fast build before I see her in 5 days 😬
Should have just left it at rough cut, looked good. But I made good progress with planing and cutting today. The lumber width was a prefect fit for the planer and the cuts smell so good!

nostr:npub1akaf2qqlvlg6l2wr7lksklg9yhn3tr77frwvyf3tg2vkqmupw5ws6y5pff most of the time even run of the mill noise reduction isn't needed. I rarely use the noise reduction in Darktable, but when I do, it's fantastic.


nostr:npub1akaf2qqlvlg6l2wr7lksklg9yhn3tr77frwvyf3tg2vkqmupw5ws6y5pff nice shot, the motion works here. I relate to the high iso fear, I started shooting landscape on digital when higher iso looked terrible. now I've been a iso 100 person by default and it pains me to go to auto iso even when I set the upper limit to 1600 (which looks great by all accounts). Let's both work on overcoming our iso anxiety, good luck!

I saw this cute graphic of a colorful bird with anatomical labels sometime back and I wish I could remember and credit the artist. I decided to copy it in watercolor and send it to my niece as a birthday card. She is doing a segment on birds in girl scouts and I just want to contribute to her education!

Sometimes plan a shoot based on foggy weather forecast, gear up, get to the woodland, and are rewarding with stunning photos. Other times you randomly wake up early notice fog, get to the woodland which has no fog, grab a camera with a dead battery, and don't get anything.

We'll see how the film turns out but at least I had a cell phone that shoots RAW and I can develop them to capture the mood with #Saulala.

I like adding alt-text to images I boost, so please don't mind me leaving a description here.
#ALT4you front of a train engine is shot straight on with lush green foliage all around the train and sunlight filtering through the leaves. The foliage envelopes the train so it looks like it's traveling through a green tunnel. The train looks old school and gives 1970s vibes in design and beige color with a green horizontal stripes.

* the UI/UX is opinionated but simplified in a way that works for me with a polished look and excellent subtle animated feedback
* the Progressive Web App works great

Features that all clients should adopt (the creator invites it!):
* threaded replies 👌🏽
* showing threads chronologically with thread indicator/counter 😘
* boost carousel 👏🏽

Unsuccessful attempt at hunting C/2023 P1 (Nishimura) comet. Blue is Venus and red is where Nishimura roughly should be.
