This is awesome and I had no idea it existed. But I'm not seeing how this offers better collections/discovery?
Varathane classic wood penetrating stain. Should be oil based. If I decide to strip again, any advice on how to tell when I've got it all? Because to the naked eye this thing was completely cleaned before I added stain.
I considered it on many occasions. Then I'd look at what a new solid wood table costs, sigh, and get back to work. I can swing some material money to sand and stain, but new furniture isn't happening. So it's make these work or don't have decent side tables.
Math! I'm a software guy and generally find STEM topics highly intuitive. I do fine with the stuff through middle school - PEMDAS, algebra, that kind of stuff. But the higher levels concepts like logarithms and derivatives; no matter how many times they're explained to me they just don't quite click. I can plug numbers into formulas and get the answer I need, but I don't understand what's happening or why that particular formula is what's needed.
Don't know if it's an autism thing, but I get it too. I describe it as the difference between liking something and craving it. There may be something I think of as just ok but find myself reaching for all the time. That's a high craving food to me. On the flip side, there may be something that I really enjoy every time I have it but I never want it. Low craving.
I know that these groups exist. What I don't understand is, how do they get such successful companies to shoot themselves in the foot like this? Did they offer more money than the providers expected to make from the game revenue? What about the value of all the bad will they bought themselves for overstepping like that?
I think I put more good into the world than bad. Whether I put in more good than I've consumed, I wonder about that a lot. I've been very fortunate in life.
What does a doorless shower offer that the same design with a door for that opening doesn't? I would think there's some accessible compromise that keeps the floor dry. Of course, the true holy grail would be the showers you sometimes see overseas where there's a whole compartment built on a drain pan so the open door isn't an inconvenience.
In addition to the obvious, wasn't Homer not a person? I feel like I heard that it was more of a legend people collected stories under. May have that mixed up with something else though.
Papers, please kinda fits
Check out carbon steel. Very similar physical properties to cast iron and significantly lighter. Also, learn how to properly use your pans. With proper preheating and use of fat (oil) even naturally sticky materials like stainless steel can be a dream to cook in.
It depends on the nuance. Asking about basic, factual information? Yeah, that's what search engines are for. Asking about something with a fairly well defined answer but there are varying opinions worth a conversation? Sure, this is the place.
Don't ask me what year Abraham Lincoln was born. But if you want to know how successful he was? There are plenty of statistics you could look up, but also a lot of opinions on what success looks like and how valuable his actions actually were. Worth discussing.
