Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Do NOT  put the squeeze bottle of chipotle mayo in the microwave just to heat it up a bit to induce flow.  Stuff gets everywhere. 🤔🤨  At least it had the decency to wait until I retrieved it and opened it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 On a complete opposite note this weekend I learned not to freeze almond milk, as after it defrosts it ends up separating and get water on the top and bunch of white at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I need a new saw so I'm getting a Dewalt 10 inch miter saw.  I'm building a play ramp for my dogs and my Skil saw isn't doing the job. It's a cheaper one and I don't have a steady enough hand to cut it straight...I need better equipment.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0neguy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If you’re looking at a 10 inch mitre saw, consider a 12 inch.  Sooner or later you’ll be thankful for the bigger blade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I once microwaved an egg sunny side up. When I put a fork on it & broke the yolk, the thing exploded. Egg on the kitchen ceiling & my ears were ringing from the explosion.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0neguy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Concerning capacity of a 10 inch miter saw..  I wouldn’t recommend cutting a 4x4 with a 10 inch saw.  Especially if you need an angled cut (30 or 45 degrees).  Cutting 4x4’s or 2x8’s you’ll want a 12 inch blade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger costs more, but 10" is too damned small to be of much use.  I'd go even bigger than 12 if you can afford it.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dewalt cordless chainsaw really cuts well. I was skeptical but the 60vMax keeps up with medium duty fuel powered performance machines... No blasted fuel/mix small engine maintenance... Storage is a breeze. I am charging my phone with one of the batteries right now as I type this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) For all my Miter Saw homies out there… I bought a 12 inch, double bevel sliding Bosch.  My friend is a Master Carpenter and sold this one to me for $500, retails for $900.  He wants a new Makita. I was going to wait until the spring to do my porch but I am starting today.  I feel like a kid with a new toy and just want to use it all the time.  Cutting angles weren’t always easy for me but this thing does it perfectly without difficulty.  Edited February 4 by Royale with Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 3 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: What is the reason for it? Â Have the Vets come up with theories? Â The theory is that having normal sex hormones produced by the ovaries/testes has some effect on the joints and even behavior and cognitive ability. There are a bunch of youtubes discussing this, and most name reliable studies. The juiced up puppy food evidently causes slightly more rapid growth and less time for the joints joints and associated parts to keep up, resulting in problems down the line at relatively normal joint stress levels. Â Anyway, based on discussions I had with our vet at our pups first visit this week, and the guy who did the two acl's on my son's dog, (he says he's now doing six acl's/week), I'm holding off the neutering until at least the 13 month old timeframe.
