I will be in a mosh pit in a hot tub on the pool deck of a cruise ship somewhere between Haiti and Florida. Dammit.

Good to hear things are working out as well as possible Steve. I would recommend you come up with a much cooler story to explain the finger to impress the boys. Sword fight, shrapnel, saving puppies from a wood chipper... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To all the quoted newbies and "returning members please review your welcome PM (god I hope we still do this). While we seem to not be as abrasive as we had been in the past - you still are pissing many/most of us off. Nobody give a fuck about your drivel. So maybe consider joining SBFA (or whatever they are called) or head back to head-fi where you can feel free to express your drivel with reckless abandon. You are not as clever as you mom says you are.

^ I'm going to assume Giant is probably some kind of grocery store. Otherwise I'll have to wait until Stretch moves back to the U.S.

Found a great record store down the street from the girlfriend's place and picked up my first vinyl in a while. MFSL Weezer Nina Simone at Town Hall A Bon Iver collection I had never seen before. And a sticker, since Brent can't have one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally have my baby back from her trip to Connecticut after nearly two months of being without her. Oh man, she sounds great. Thanks, Doug!

Thanks, I was on my way to address it.

He's been banned, don't respond to him further, please.

As if you're not used to having twice the meat ...

...and starts selling cheap rice.

Congrat....and WHOA! (Room and bombs respectively).

Secret Santa really came through for me!

I like the saving puppies one!

Not really, they're wearing too much.

What a loser, he couldn't use another point to feel good in his sad life than calling names. Oh boy if I had a buck for every moron in this category not knowing half the part of his genomic origins.

It's 8°C here today so you are welcome for a visit.

Catching up with this. Steve hope for the best possible outcome and a super speedy recovery. Perhaps you should consider a golden point [emoji121]️ to your digit "a la" Jaime Lannister [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Waiting to renew drivers license in person. Cranky people. Only one open chair. No wonder, screaming toddler in front of me. Cute bright eyed 16 year olds taking drivers tests. I wonder if they'll take my picture? I guess I should have combed my hair and rubbed the crust out of my eyes. Oh well.

Craig, I will certainly look into them. Also, the boss and I are going to have a talk about safety in general. I feel like I have more of a leg to stand on now (if less of a finger). As far as how calm I am, I get that from my Dad. My Brothers are the same.

there are roads in NC that have made me almost puke as the driver

Let this serve as a good lesson. I'm very familiar with tablesaws, and yet things can still go very wrong. Stay away if you're not completely comfortable with the tool. And always be sure that someone is close by, just in case.

Unfortunately I have to use whatever cheap ass blade the boss buys, as I no longer work for myself. Not too soon, all humor is welcomed. SawStop would not have helped at all in this case, as it was the board itself that stripped my finger of flesh. So, Carrot Finger lives! X-rays looked great. The Dr. was very happy with the previous Dr.s closing of the wound, and was also happy to see the mobility in my finger. Thumb was more hashed than I originally realized, but still nothing like the finger. I was given a cleaning regimen and finger exercises. The Dr. says it should heal and recover nicely. It'll just look funky. Have a follow up in a week, then one more in two weeks. And that should do it. I'm very happy with the prognosis! Thanks so much for all the well wishes, not sure you guys know how much they help!

Does anyone have a BOM for the transportable version going? I'm trying to place an order to intercept the board arrival. On a side note I like the switching supplies only costing ~11 a pop

We can have a drink before then, slacker. **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

I can see why Florida / Metalcruise would be appealing in comparison.

Damn Iain. That redefines cold

Steve just saw this and am really sorry this happened to you. Glad to hear that things are progressing ok all things considered. You are way more calm then I'd be at the moment. Hope to see you soon.

Happy 100th Birthday Spartacus!

Good god, man.

While not in real life, I am getting quite addicted to Dirt Rally (with full realism on). Playing in VR with the new shaker system is amazing

I'm glad that things are turning out so positive. When I sliced my finger open (not off, as in your case), the doctor prescribed me this: go to Giant, get the cheapest bag of rice you can get, put it in a container, then dig around in it like you're trying to find something. I ended up falling in love with the smell of that brown rice. I still love brown rice to this day.

This. So much this.

Ouch! Sorry, Steve, that's just awful! But very glad for the good news on the follow up!

I'm delighted with the wonderful news, Steve. I'm sure you're a good patient and you'll do all the hand doc said. Take care of yourself and heal well

Lawsuits against table saw manufacturers who have not included standard safety equipment, and companies who have not supplied their workers with said equipment are a thing. Riving knifes are bog standard at this point.

I cooked something from Turkish Cuisine: Saç kavurma. Since I know some more reciepes from Turkish Cuisine, I decided to make a topic for them. "Özgür's special reciepes from Turkish Cuisine" is coming with first reciepe: Saç Kavurma Here is the how to cook link:

Brent, as an "honorary gay man", you can take that as a compliment.

It's been snowing for the last three days with high winds. There's over a foot of it on the ground, and the kids's school has been closed for the last two days. Going down to -30'C this weekend. We're leaving for Florida/metalcruise in 51 days.

Dew eet Purk! Grahame, I just looked at Jet Blue and there are $128 round trips from SFO, and on Virgin it is currently at $267 round trip. I didn't go through the deal portal on Jet Blue but the prices were as low as $65 each way. It seems like we can get something very reasonable regardless. JP and I talked through some plans this morning, and I want to float some ideas: Hotel: I booked a room for JP and me at the Head-Fi event hotel, NY Marriott Marquis. I think Raffy and Mike are looking at hotels nearby. Times Square isn't the greatest but it seems easiest to congregate in one neighborhood. JP has also mentioned the Aloft Hotel in Brooklyn where we stayed a few years ago because Brooklyn is more fun that Times Square. Anyone want to shift there or have a better place to congregate? Meet Attendance: The HF meet runs from 10-6 Saturday and 10-5 on Sunday. People can decide on attendance for themselves, but it seems the prime day for getting the maximum number of Casers together is Saturday. Perhaps we should plan excursions and get-togethers during the day Saturday and leave Sunday more open for HF meet. Even if people go to the meet Saturday, they can still link up with the party train later in the day or evening. I am personally planning to go on Sunday morning/noonish. Friday: Whoever is available should try to gather near the hotel or pick another spot -- Manhattan cocktail bars? Ginger Man, Blind Tiger, Proletariat and/or other beer joints? Saturday: After breakfast, I want to bolt for Other Half Brewing in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn to be there by Noon. JP suggests getting there by opening time is critical because of the small size of the tasting room. If there is a can release that day, some of us might want to be even earlier. After Other Half, we could make our way to Williamsburg, Brooklyn where some of our favorite spots are located, including Spuyten Deyvil, Torst, Barcade, Fette Sau BBQ, etc. We could also end up back wherever we are staying for late night antics. Again, I am just throwing out ideas so we could pick another itinerary or locale so speak up. Sunday: The meet starts at 10:00 so that is where some people will go for a few hours or all day. Others can be tourists, get drunk early, wander the streets, whatever. We should pick a dinner idea for those of us staying until late Sunday or Monday. Monday: Breakfast or other plans? Airport runs. Plenty of food for thought. Not a lot of need for truly concrete plans, but it's still fun to think about and it allows the one-day folks to make arrangements.
