“And they will know Him by the knurled pattern on His belt”

The green bike boxes between a stop line and a crosswalk are great (where paint-protected bike lanes are used), I’m just dunking on the weird box in this picture which is not that.

Yeah but that green sharrow box (advisory bike lane?) is awful. I thought we killed that after one week in Santa Monica.

Agreed, and I think part of what created this culture is widespread use of public transport. People in NYC are way better behaved on the subway than those in LA, at least in my experience. People in LA aren’t used to having to put up with strangers odd behavior, so aren’t used to modulating their own behavior.

Have you seen the knipex parallel jaw pliers? They’ve completely replaced all but my largest crescent style adjustable: https://www.knipex.com/products/pipe-wrenches-and-water-pump-pliers/pliers-wrenches-pliers-and-a-wrench-in-a-single-tool/pliers-wrenches-pliers-and-wrench-single-tool/8603180

Tools and fasteners with these thin flats are delicate, because of the high contact pressures resulting from thin wrenches. Exactly the conditions you don’t want to use an adjustable wrench for. Instead, only buy the wrenches for the parts you have, and build out your set over time. Also, I’m not sure I’d trust a normal size adjustable wrench off Amazon, much less a specialty tool like that.

Love it, and nice work dressing up the end of the blade!

I’ve had the same problem, and also can’t really trust that the bevel is sitting square on the surface as my chair bottoms are usually scrub-planed.

Reminds me of this welding square: https://lasquaretools.com/

My mother’s requests for us to calm down escalated over the years: “Cool your jets” “Don’t get your underwear in a wad” “Don’t get caught in your zipper”

WE DID ITTTTTTT!!!

interesting! I am (now?) able to paint over some pixels (with the one minute penalty) but not others.

do some folks have the ability to paint over other people’s work? I can’t, but people have painted over my mistakes (thanks @michl@sh.itjust.works) Is this to do with the lock button?

Yikes, this trip was humid, but only around 32C.

The bike is great. It’s a convertible tandem/single, so it’s quite confident loaded down on rough roads and trails!

The ‘UNITE’ banner under Marx is not in our template, but it feels appropriate. I submit we should not fight them, and maybe give them a hand filling in
