Came here to say this.

I do not advise ever giving a baby quinoa.

I had a passat for 3 days when the engine almost exploded going over a bridge from engine sludge. I loved my Ranger and hate to speak ill of it, but it was a ford. I kept a full wrench set and spare parts under the jump seats. Most parts I've ever changed on a car and some repeatedly. Ultimately gave in to its unfixable head warp.

You gotta be careful though. My best friend tried to take a girl out on a discgolf date once. She said "no thanks discgolf is a gateway drug to marijuana. " and she might be right.

I worked with a guy who banned together with a few of his college friends and made a sort of communal maker space. They rented a space, each had their own area and supplied the space with various tools that the others could use. They would occasionally rent out space for someone to come make something using their tools and sometimes experience. This would subsidize the rent for them to have space in which they could do as they please.

This is a relatively common practice within the art world (they were furniture makers/designers) but I don't see why this wouldn't be just as if not more productive with a bunch of engineers. I also have often seen companies grow out of such arrangements. You share a space, start working collaboratively, and before you know it you've got a shared product to sell.

The other added benefit is there's always someone around to help you unload, setup and be excited about that CNC you found.

Watched old horror movies all the time with my grandfather growing up. None of that was scary. Watching Chuckey when I was probably 8 with my brother was terrifying. Didn't help we had one of those big my buddy type dolls in the house. I think I was Chuckey for Halloween that year.

Would pay 20 bucks to see moonhooch for sure. Came upon too many zooz while they were still playing in the subways. I'd probably pay more than 20 bucks to see moon zooz

Always be prepared to be unprepared.

I have this exact tool, and just as a warning, it is far from perfect but it does certainly help and I've used it for many things but if precision is what you're looking for you might be better off buying a higher quality one or a chuck and building one at the angle you need.

Milescraft makes a slightly better one and then there's the rockler one but you know, you get what you pay for.

It was made by 2 North Dakota dads at the request of their wives. It took just a couple of years for the idea to take off, marketing the product to scools. It was then sold to Smuckers in 2003. So the pitch probably went something like, "you two are inventors, can't you make this easy sandwich.... easier?"
