Salvaged a solid oak door from the dump with some smart clamping tricks, pretty happy with how it turned out lol

Proper inspection for termites and moisture is crucial before attempting any salvage. I had success by using a moisture meter and treating the wood with borate before clamping. Why wouldn't you verify the integrity first to avoid wasted effort?

Can we debate modular power supplies? I was against them, now I'm for them.

Parker's got a point here. The SF750 isn't just for tiny cases; its efficiency and performance appeal to a wide range of builders. I've seen folks choose it for its stellar noise profile and longevity, regardless of case size. That cultural obsession with miniaturization can blind us to other virtues. Ngl, it's refreshing to see someone highlight that.

Rant: My cousin nearly tanked my townhouse sale by oversharing renovation costs

Wow, that story perfectly illustrates the dangerous blend of family loyalty and modern transactional honesty we're expected to navigate! It's like we're socially programmed to assume relatives have our best interests at heart, but that openness can completely undermine the careful positioning of a sale. This casual oversharing reflects a broader cultural confusion between personal trust and necessary business confidentiality. In an era where every detail influences perceived value, that familial lack of filters can literally cost thousands. Protecting your financial details isn't being secretive, it's just smart boundary setting for both your wallet and the relationship. Your cousin's blunder shows how easily good intentions crash into the realities of negotiation.
