Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Do NOT  put the squeeze bottle of chipotle mayo in the microwave just to heat it up a bit to induce flow.  Stuff gets everywhere. 🤔🤨  At least it had the decency to wait until I retrieved it and opened it. 1 Quote
The Jokeman Posted January 31 Posted January 31 On a complete opposite note this weekend I learned not to freeze almond milk, as after it defrosts it ends up separating and get water on the top and bunch of white at the bottom. Quote
Royale with Cheese Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I need a new saw so I'm getting a Dewalt 10 inch miter saw.  I'm building a play ramp for my dogs and my Skil saw isn't doing the job. It's a cheaper one and I don't have a steady enough hand to cut it straight...I need better equipment.  Quote
f0neguy Posted January 31 Posted January 31 If you’re looking at a 10 inch mitre saw, consider a 12 inch.  Sooner or later you’ll be thankful for the bigger blade. 3 Quote
Albany,n.y. Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I once microwaved an egg sunny side up. When I put a fork on it & broke the yolk, the thing exploded. Egg on the kitchen ceiling & my ears were ringing from the explosion.  2 Quote

I could almost hear the voice of Peppermint Pattie yelling, "Marcie!!"     Edited January 31 by WhoTom Quote

f0neguy Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Concerning capacity of a 10 inch miter saw..  I wouldn’t recommend cutting a 4x4 with a 10 inch saw.  Especially if you need an angled cut (30 or 45 degrees).  Cutting 4x4’s or 2x8’s you’ll want a 12 inch blade. 1 Quote

Bigger costs more, but 10" is too damned small to be of much use.  I'd go even bigger than 12 if you can afford it.   1 Quote

The Dewalt cordless chainsaw really cuts well. I was skeptical but the 60vMax keeps up with medium duty fuel powered performance machines... No blasted fuel/mix small engine maintenance... Storage is a breeze. I am charging my phone with one of the batteries right now as I type this. Quote
