An interesting soccer stat - scoring second is better than scoring first: https://web.archive.org/web/20080829180544/https://www.salon.com/sports/col/kaufman/2006/06/30/friday/index.html https://www.salon.com/2007/05/24/thursday_252/ https://www.salon.com/2006/06/22/thursday_209/

Oddly no, triggered by watching the Americans and hearing Squeeze which led to Sparks and then Joe Jackson. I somehow totally missed out on the existence of Joe Jackson until a few years ago when I was sitting in a bar in Brooklyn and was shocked to hear a weird version of an Anthrax song ... while I'm thinking of it ...

For the office, I might just leave a note on your sofa requesting the cleaning person to stop using it. Also, you don't really need video, so a motion sensing still camera would be fine, too. I'd assume they are all fine for watching the dog. I have an older Ubiquiti camera at home and run their DVR software on an old Linux box.

Happy Birthday!

Tried & True says that their finishes are OK outdoors so long as they are not actually outdoors - that is, so long as they don't get rained on and stay wet. It may also turn out that the beeswax in the original finish would block the spar varnish from being applied. But ipe is really weather resistant - the worst case is that if the finish does not weather well, you have to sand it down in a few years and redo it.

I know people who refuse to use it, particularly in jointers and planers, because of the required blade sharpenings. But it is very durable for outdoor stuff. It might be prudent to add some spar varnish over the tried and true.

You can countersink 2mm thick panels, but you often need to use undercut screws.

Happy Birthday!
