    Well, I don't like a face full of chips or anything. I just like when it hits my arm. Dog in and start cutting. When the saw gets close to vertical, the chipstream blasts past my arm. Lots and lots of chips, especially compared to the small saws.

    ...war vet. That puts me 3 people away from the birth of the country. That's not many people from an impossibly long time ago. There's been *a lot* of change in that time frame. Going from hardly no one around, and horses being state of the art transportation to space travel, with human craft...

    Here's a random thought... I mostly run small saws. Probably 80%+ of the time I'm running 3/8"lp. When I'm running my bigger 3/8" saws, one of my favorite things is getting blasted by the chip stream when the bar's buried in a big log. It almost stings. Feels like you're getting something done :^)

    I'm not sure it took 20 minutes in it's entirety to upgrade debian. Had to be available to answer a couple questions about changed config files, but it's basically #apt update && apt full-upgrade, then wait.

    I save my food that gets stale or bugs to feed critters in the winter. It goes in the fridge, and I hopefully remember when the time comes.

    The last song of the Kauai 'O'o. The bird was singing for a mate, and the pauses are when the response was supposed to come. The person recording played it back to make sure he got it, and the bird came back thinking he got a response. It was last heard in 1987(this recording), and is presumed...

    Is that first image really a flat earth? I think you've stumbled into the little understood conical earth theory. It attempts to reconcile the difference between flat earth, and spherical earth. I find the evidence quite compelling.

    One cold cold night I was camping in a parkinglot to get Dead tickets. I had a Dietz oil lamp for light where I was setup, and everyone who was there said it felt warm with the oil lamp going. You could warm your hands over the lamp, but that was the extent of the heat output. Having a glowing...

    It's an analog thermometer with a probe that goes outside. Never checked calibration, but it appears to be close. I think your second paragraph is probably correct, but with a slightly different setup. I suspect I have expectations of what it should feel like inside, so when it's cooler than...

    That's a cool story. My random thought... Why does it always feel colder in the house than it does outside? I'll walk in the door, and think "Oh, chilly. Maybe I'll open the door to warm the house up", but when I check the thermometer, it's cooler outside. Today, it was 48° in the house, and...

    I'm not sure these qualify as "facts". It's a list I found online, and has just the right amount of truthiness to seem believable, but also smells a little like bullshit. It's interesting to consider though, and perhaps someone here knows enough to refute some of the entries... ### The next...
