Also, this ...

I don't even really like saxophones very much (sorry @MexicanDragon), and I think the first three notes of this song are one of the greatest sounds ever recorded. I could listen to them over and over again -- fortunately the song allows just that. The original lacks the same intense energy, but probably has a better groove

Seems like one of these cordless tool companies should come up with a way to flip their circular saw upside down and use it as a table saw.

https://sklep.toroidy.pl/en_US/index I've not used them so I don't know the quality, but it's another option. Also, they're expensive but I still like the lundahl power transformers, particularly for use close to a circuit. Just be aware of their weird way of stating specs.

Fortunately for your youth, Ms Mitchell seems to be okay.

Happy birthday, Ryan!

I think it was the prevalence of dorm room posters and coffee table books on display in corporate waiting rooms. I'm not expressing an opinion. Simply asking if the general grumpiness among budding photo types from 30 years ago is still prevalent.

When I was in college taking photo courses, there was no dirtier word than Ansel Adams. Even Weston had a better reputation. (This was in the days when Serrano was all the rage.) Has his reputation been rehabilitated among the cognoscenti?

My Pixel phone tells me when, and by how much, I am out of level. Consequently, all pictures of my cats are very correct. From the numerous posts you have made, it seems that it is finally time to get off the pot, be honest with yourself, and admit what your true calling is.

Whole wheat lemon yogurt cake with some strawberry jam in the middle and a lemon glaze.

Next time you want to preserve the lightness of light colored wood, try a soap finish. https://www.popularwoodworking.com/finishing/soap-making-clean-finish-2/ Also, the T&T danish oil won't end up sticky even without buffing. But it would have to be the base coat. With the original finish you really need to rub off as much as possible and then let it cure in a warm environment for a while. They say 24 hours but I'd give it a week or two.

I suspect that the people who complain are expecting something that works more like a poly and who don't want to put in the necessary elbow grease The danish oil is a lot thinner and easier to apply

Two of the options in one.

The bench looks truly fantastic.

More is better. I have a crappy bench that is covered in them, and it is still not enough.

Contax 645 was the camera I dreamed about. But the pair of Mamiya Super 23s next to it are super underappreciated gems. It's a whole 120/220 rangefinder system with multiple backs (6x45, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9, polaroid), and sharp lenses, but more importantly it has bellows and a ground glass back so tilts and shifts and swings and macro work are all possible.
