Is there some kind of aurora alert I can sign up for? Missed the last one, barely caught some of this one.

And then vote for Ranked Choice Voting (which may not be the ideal but is a paradigm shift improvement from First Past the Post).

Thanks, guess I got lucky!

Is there a self hosted OpenTelemetry consumer?

I think they can be a climate conscious choice and unaffordable. But getting better, and still a worthwhile step.

Unfortunately​ I don't have anywhere to burn them, but maybe I'll save some for camping trips.

Hah, thanks, I do think hand tools have a beauty to them.

Thanks! We compost and know folks with chickens, good suggestions.

Took me a minute to figure out how it works. So the angle of the jig is determined by the length the chisel extends through it. Neat.

It took lots of repetition honing, stropping, going through setup, realizing the chip breaker was right on the edge of the blade, repeat, new error. The first picture is progress: small and crunchy, long and crinkley, long and papery.

Sharpening using Atoma 400/600/1200 diamond plates + a strop I had around. I found Wood By Wright's setup video helpful and have been enjoying Rex Kreuger's videos on sharpening and other things.

I worked so hard for these shavings, surely there's something fun to do with them.

Always checking for buttons. From JD Power:

Looks like climate and possible media volume have physical controls, so pretty good.

Thanks! I want to try some smaller / varying size fingers next.

 

I made a box joint jig following [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyJof__nTR4](Woodfather's video). It's a nice simple/flexible design for those of us without a dado stack.

First try was very sloppy, but once I adjusted the key width and got my clamps set up better the fit is great. The scraps I had around were bed slats off the curb, which were very cupped. But they actually turned out pretty nicely (after plenty of cleanup).

Good to know!

This is mostly for entertainment, not harvest yield.

 

Wrapping up its first season, I think we're supposed to get a harvest starting year three.

I have two type-k thermocouples with breakouts from Adafruit, attached to a ESP8266 (Huzzah I believe). My oven was very old and didn't come with a temperature readout or any kind of preheating status (but thankfully also no builtin WiFi). The Tasmota device reports to HomeAssistant, which stores data in InfluxDb, which I can then chart in Grafana.

Here you can see the internal temperature got to 151F, and I was surprised to see how much the oven's temperature rebounded after I took the cakes out, despite being off.

The recipe is "Chocolate Lava Cakes For Two" from NYT Cooking. It's one I make semi-regularly, pretty quick on a weeknight and delicious. I have small ramekins so the recipe makes three and they cook a little faster than the recipe's would.

 

I baked "Chocolate Lava Cakes For Two", the NYT Cooking recipe. It's one I make semi-regularly, pretty quick on a weeknight and delicious. I have small ramekins so the recipe makes three and they cook a little faster than the recipe's would.

I have two temperature probes (thermocouples on a Tasmota ESP8266 => HomeAssistant => Grafana). Mostly for my entertainment, but here you can see the internal temperature got to 151F, and I was surprised to see how much the oven's temperature rebounded after I took the cakes out, despite being off.

 

I made three sets of classroom mailboxes, for passing in papers / storing journals etc. Sides and back are 3/4" plywood, shelves are 1/4" plywood. Corners are rabbet and dado joints, my first time doing that. I did the cuts on my table saw. (I tried to route them, but didn't get as clean a cut as I'd like with the cheap Ryobi bits I had.) Shelves slide into dados. The sides/centeres are designed so one fence location could cut the top and bottom dado. I didn't have a dado stack, and am using a Shopsmith which has the table saw blade arbor on a quill, so I set the quill stop for my dado width and used that to make multiple cuts slightly apart. That worked fairly well but must have been slightly off on some cuts where it was very hard to slide the 1/4" plywood shelves in; I ended up sanding the edges of some slightly thinner.

I just received a text from (701) 922-7432 saying:

PUBLIC ALERT: We are confirming your voter file records. Please do not respond with any sensitive information, but do confirm whether your name and address is [full name] at [Street address]. stop = end

I see a recent r/Michigan post about it but not decisive mention of a scam or real campaign.

 

I've built the section of the table that flips. On the saw side, I have 1-1/2" to build up so the bed of the saw is flush with the rest of the table. How would you attach the saw so it's secure to flip upside down?

The top only has holes at the front, for inserting a side clamp.

Maybe bolt through the ends into a block underneath?

 

Moving my FC over to it from the ZOHD Dart XL, since I want a rudder.

 
 

Or any other tips for keeping track?
