I agree with you. I still can’t make sense of it and I don’t understand how he is seen as having charisma. Even his voice is repulsive.

He’s so fake and slimy in his mannerisms.

Only thing I can figure is that many people just don’t perceive him this way and find him warm and personable.

Porque no los dos?

I’ve found that subs really dig it when you’ve machined your own spanky tools…

Also, HAAS are some jank ass machines. Tiny ways, newer controls are glitter covered shit, they fucked up the remote handwheel…

Huh. I’m not sure how far back furries go.

If not, it’s certainly proto furry porn. Pretty sure it predates the formulation of Rule 34.

This was covered back in '93 on usenet. Behold: Smuckfest!

Now this is a properly nuanced take.

Former evangelical fundamentalist raised in this stuff. Just curious, don’t answer if you don’t want to, what’s your background?

Also, if you have the time and energy:

What are your thoughts on modern day efforts to breed red heifers/resume sacrifices?

Connections between the US evangelical right and fundamentalist judaism?

Mike Johnson scares the fuck out of me, how dangerous do you think he is?

Might think about taking a break for a while. I have to, sometimes. Do some camping and mostly unplug. Anything real big goes down and you’ll hear about it.

Marathon, not a sprint. Fuck em, we’re harder. Country boy can survive.

That’s fantastic.

I’ve known a lot folks that talk like Boomhauer, (I’ve been told I do, as well.)

Black Hole Sun and Beavis and Butthead were both on MTV back then. I don’t remember if they watched the video on the show.

Anyhow, that video was up there with NIN’s Closer for general weird awesomness. The crazy smiles and expanding eyes are burned into my memory.

Also, proto Hank Hill on Beavis and Butthead.

I remember my grandfather being very upset about the “Beaver and Butthole” show.

I very much agree. It is held up as this wonderful parable of how you should live. It’s the sort of thing that the powerful use to take advantage and abuse the weak.

This kind of puerile shit is bad for children and is just like a lot of the Jesus crap that gets pounded into kids.

not all beauty is worth pain

He sounds like a pretty awesome dude. Thanks for sharing. Also sounds like he has you pretty well trained, he gets to ride and sniff.

We don’t have a small dog right now, our elderly Chihuahua reached the end a couple years ago and my wife is still raw.

That’s really funny to me. What was his name and what was he like?

Rock and Roll!

What cheap woods are the most impact resistant for splintering and splitting?

What is the best way to cure wood to prevent splitting without a kiln? Slap a heavy coat of latex paint on a log/burl/root and let it sit 6mo/year?

What are the most machinable hardwoods? (In particular as regards tearout, warping, and tolerance of thin sections)

In your opinion, what is an available underappreciated or interesting wood to work?

Are you actually a wood scientist, and, if so; can I pick your brain?

Nice saw, BTW!

I’ve always heard this. Helped with pit on a friend’s dad’s drag car when I was a kid. It makes sense, but I’ve never looked into how large of an effect it actually is.

This is actually wisdom. I use a 4x fudge factor.

beat me to it.

I’ve always heard:

Respect is given, not earned.

Trust is earned and easy to lose.

Don’t confuse politeness with respect.

Alcove in blue. It didn’t extend into her intestines or anything, it was just a small pocket in the back wall.

It was in the back wall of the vagina, a little bit before her cervix.
