At minimum the cheap ones have lower QA tolerances on components. Sometimes they straight up swap in shittier components (eg: plastic instead of metal, etc).

Not saying you always need the most expensive option when choosing power tools, but looks same != same.

Should we…like…number them?

Second on the mandolin that was on someone’s list.

Caveat being don’t buy a shitty one or it will have the opposite effect.

I believe you have the best of intentions with this comment, but there are literal north korea fanboys up in here, and they’re rude af. Discourse is not a thing.

Something something don’t be so open minded that your brains fall out.

Why is this NSFW?

A little worried about what you already got “help” with given this is a request for more help.

Givewell is thorough with their research, and afaik they try hard to stay current on everything.

Those aren’t fit for human consumption either tho

Bold of you to assume they went for the $24 end of that range instead of the $5 end.

Me too. My 30 are basically the same as my 20s, and same for most of the people around me.

But shhh if the kids underestimate us, we can get away with more! “oh noes, my poor old hip can’t handle pushing this heavy thing! You do it and I’ll impart some wisdom because of my advanced years.”

We should do meet ups in our tent cities! Start a book club!

Seriously tho… Sending good vibes your way, even though I know firsthand that’s a bit condescending and doesn’t really help.

Being poor and feeling sorry for myself

I know nothing about cyanotyping - Does the heat from the lamp help with the printing process, or just the UV light? If the heat is a bug not a feature, there are some LED products that do pretty good UV light emission. You could do a spectral comparison and some tests and see if you could use those instead, since cutting the heat waste would make it smaller and cheaper and help the components last longer.

Also this is really really cool and I want to make one.

I guess I was more curious why people are popping the caps off their beverages while on the toilet.

“Don’t shit where you eat” or some variant thereof is pretty universal; I (stupidly?) assumed “don’t eat where you shit” would be equally so.

Nuka Cola goes well with ketchup chips, eh?

I can’t read the best before date on the hand, but presumably you’d want to open that freezer as little as possible.

Canada too. But there’s a generational divide wherein everyone <50 is assumed to snowboard, and re: skiing everyone assumes the downhill/alpine flavour only.

My family-in-law, all 4 generations, are like 462874th generation American. They use cutlery in their fists like they’re cavemen stabbing at the last mammoth chop.

I definitely do not think chopstick experience is their problem.
