    It's not yelling at clouds or bemoaning people you think are wrong, that's not the point at all. It's people that are perpetuating bad, unsafe behavior and methods. This helps no one, to simply ignore it, is to add to the problem.

    What's it like to have all the answers to everything?

    Glue or not to glue

    You can glue the panels to one another and essentially make one large floating panel if you want to. This will ensure consistent spacing of the T&G throughout the seasons. You do need to make sure you leave enough room in the frame for expansion/contraction of the panel.

    US Election November 5th

    I wish I had an answer but as I said, there is no solution that everyone will agree with. This area of the world has been at each others throats for thousands of years. I think it's the height of arrogance that anyone thinks they have a simple answer that will end the violence. At this point in...

    You're 100% correct IMO The problem is, that won't fit on a bumper sticker or T-shirt

    I view YouTube (no pun intended) as an incredible resource of knowledge but there is a problem. People are the problem and the fact that there is no such thing as objective facts anymore. Most things in life you go through a learning process or stages. First it's at a junior level, then maybe...

    US Election November 5th

    Yes, it's such an easy position to be in when you only look at one side. Being a head of state is not as simple as your posts would suggest. Knee-jerk reaction are rarely the answer.

    I wasn't aware of that, thanks for clearing that up for me.

    I'll add that collectively, YT has no sense of history. How many times have you started to watch a video of something you thought was a new method, new product, new idea, etc. only to find out it's; A. as old as the hills B. just plain dangerous C. Stupid to the point, no one in their right...

    It's pretty mach a lose, lose situation. No matter what you do, someone is going to be angry, right or wrong.

    US Election November 5th

    What do you do when an ally does something contrary to your previous commitments? Biden is the president of the U.S. and while may have some influence, has no real say in what Israel does. Ally is not code for babysitter. Plenty of blame to go around, lets just make sure it's pointed in the...

    US Election November 5th

    All true but the people that gravitate towards power comes from all areas. Some are lawmakers, some are judges, some are ... You get the point It's not so much the president but the folks he surrounds himself with.

    YouTube has a culture that everyone is an expert. Everyone has the best way to do something, no matter the subject. The economics of YT have to do with numbers of views not the content quality. That's why there is click bait and a gazillion bad, unsafe, sad and unwatchable videos for every...

    SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

    I couldn't disagree more. just because there is a new or improved system available, are you then obligated to get it, of course not. Are all saws without AIM automatically "unsafe" now? I don't have a riving knife on my saw but I have a splitter and guard, no less safe just a different approach...

    SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

    You said a lot of just factually incorrect things in your post. The lawsuit you're talking about was with a Ryobi saw and the operator wasn't illegal, he wasn't trained on using the saw. Mr. Gass (original SawStop owner) was the expert witness who came up with the theory that because the saw...

    SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

    This is a hollow gesture at best. This is ONE of many many patents. One which was about to expire, it means nothing. In the name of consumer safety, they could have done it 20 years ago.. (Volvo and the three point seat belt comes to mind) Also, yes they've saved many fingers over the last 20...

    SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

    To a point but the original SawStop owner (a patent lawyer) did it on steroids. At one time there were upwards of 100 patents. ANYTHING that was devised, however remotely related was deemed a threat and promptly sued. Look at the Bosch Reaxx I cited. An explosive cartridge to activate the...

    SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

    The debate, as you frame it, is simply that not everyone see's the SawStop as it's advertised to be. Sure, it might be an extra level of insurance to be had and anyone who wants one can freely purchase one but keep this in mind. If SS didn't act as a monopoly for the last 20 years and actually...

    He can do what ever he want to on his own van. 1. I don't watch this kind of garbage. 2. He's not very skilled from what I can see. 3. Others that mimic him are just stupid. Not everything everyone does or attempts to do is worthy of making a video and recording every moment of the process. So...

    I'm not sure everyone is aware of that. It still makes no sense at all to me. They're giving you a cartridge because of your own incompetence. Hey look, I almost cut my finger off, it's okay though, they'll send me a new part? You should have to pay for a cartridge and a new pair of underpants...
