Probably more expensive than AliBaba. Which might or might not mean better quality.

I’m researching building my own because I’m so fed up with only being able to find garbage. Good luck in your journey. I haven’t built my own yet, but all I lack is the time to focus on a project.

That is unfortunately expensive as time goes on. Parts have a markup, even third party. Unless there are a lot of others maintaining the same model parts will go out of production. You beet buy a lathe and milling machine.

What do those words mean? They are far to broad. What does my opinion on Tariffs have to do with my opinion on health care?

Classical liberal (but not liberal) at least has meaning - lets not kill each other even though we are of different religions (and in the last 200 years expanded to: lets not hold slaves and lets allow women to have rights). However because that is so broad there is lots of room for disagreement on details within that category.

I know more than one place that uses monitors for safety messages. If they overlay that there will be bug court cases. Likely criminal

I can’t say for sure from pictures but my guess is everything is safe for in water use and so no worry. It doesn’t take much to drain the water out

Depends but i would say quarter is way too much. Generally dimensioned lumber is close enough that right on is just fine but rough cut needs more tolerance. My habit was often a 32 less and the rest breaks off with no danger to the blade.

Treated wood should be treated through and so no need to treat the ends

Circular saw with the blade set such that it just barely will cut all the way through.

I’ve been a professional before. Where it mattered we cut the ends off in place that same way.

I saw rants very much like yours 30 years ago - before you first masters…

A masters has always to my knowledge been one additional year after you have a 4 year degree. So that they only require 1 year for the second degree is expected - you already have a 4 year degree, a masters is one additional year of advance study on top of it.

While someone can, in practice that doesn’t happen in most cases

What is the practical difference between code not accepted and code hidden?

The source is available but not in a form that will be accepted upstream. Often for good reason, but that doesn’t do you any good.

Those are not exceptions.

You are very shrilly yourself. Plenty of companies have shown it isn’t hard to take GPL without contributed back. There are high odds you are using a chrome based browser to read this - did you know that is a GPL project because once upon a time it was khtml (from the KDE project), but the changes were never contributed back. Many embedded companies have their own fork of linux as well - their changes are all available as the GPL requires, but the changes won’t be accepted to the kernel as is and so the fact that they are available is useless.

Meanwhile there are many companies using FreeBSD who choose to contribute their changes back, just like some companies choose to contribute back to various GPL projects they use.

Don’t trust it until lawyers have had months to examine the exact wording. Loopholes are to easy to hide. Often a other wise good bill will have something awful in it such that you must oppose the whole

Only last year? I’ve been avoiding them for a long time. You can almost always find a “thing.com” store that sells just the thing I need and the blurb is written by someone independent who knows the subject and can tell me why or why not it is worth spending money on the more expensive version.

See a qualified forester for the specific area. There are many different forests and they have different needs so no universal statement can be made.

Most of the forests in north America need regular fires and have been harmed by centuries of white men putting them out. However that means centuries of overgrowth and so starting one now is a too hot fire that isn’t helpful either. The great plains need to burn yearly as well.

A proper fire should leave lots of charcoal behind that gets beat into the soil and naturally permanently sequesters tons of carbon. So this is a factor in global warming.

The problem is a few people have money for lawyers and anytime an expert proposes a fire they get a judge to issue an injunction and stop it until it is too late to safely burn. I’m not sure what to do about this but it is something to oppose.

Here is a question you need to figure out: Switch is in the on position, and you use the remote to turn the light off, what happens when the switch is moved to off?

According to my wife the only satisfactory answer to this question is when the remote turns the light off the switch moves to off and so you cannot turn it off in this case! (she wants the same behavior from the old 3-way light switches that have been around for decades)
