Wait until you get botulism. No, not the food poisoning that you're sick from for a half a day but the kind where you spend days (or weeks) in the hospital and it takes six or more months to feel well again. I'll spare you the details but, if you want, you can count yourself lucky as it could have been much, much worse.
I recommend Butcher's brand bowling alley wax and you should be able to find it easily enough. If you can't find it then you can substitute another brand. Any ol' instant coffee will do. You only want the sponge to be lightly damp at the very start. I've never measured out the amounts of liquid that I use so I can't help there. It should be just slightly more moist than a paste, it spreads well.
The other thing with the above mentioned wax - coat your dad's old tools with it - especially things like a saw. I usually hit tool tables (like the table on a router table, table saw, band-saw, etc once a year or as needed. If I'm going to be away for a while then I throw a light coat down. Chisels will get done a little more often if they're in use. Basically, it not only keeps moisture out but it makes them more smooth to operate.
I've got a dust-collection system, router tables, radial-arm saw, planer, jointer, shaper, etc... My garage is huge and the front half is the broadside and is where cars go that are in the garage for work or storage. The back half is my shop. It has a funny pitched roof, akin to a salt-box. To give you an estimate of the size, it's a six bay garage and somewhere around 20 meters deep, probably a bit deeper. I've posted pics of it in the past but I'm not sure where and I'm unable to take pics now as I am still not home. I'm quite fond of it though it is a bit cluttered.
It is split into three sections, stock storage, work, and finish. There's a sub-section where I have assembly/glue racks and clamps and all that sort of jazz. I'd kind of like to build a display area but I don't intend to sell any of it so I'm not sure what I'd actually end up doing with it. The finish area isn't as large as I'd like. Maybe I could combine the two and build out that way.
Other than space, it's not as expensive as people might think. I tend to buy industrial grade equipment because I don't like things breaking down and I like the art of joinery but one can do quite a bit with far less and at much lower costs. A decent set of hand tools and some practice and you can do quite a bit. I do not own a lathe nor do I know how to use one (well, I do in theory) so I don't do any turning. I'd like to learn using a foot-powered lathe and see how that goes. I do have a set of lathe chisels that are rather high end but those were a gift and I don't have a whole lot of interest in turning.
That doesn't mean that didn't happen. What it means is that the mechanism for that is not an NSL. People seem, for some odd reason, to misunderstand the scope of an NSL. They are not some Swiss Army Knife approach where you get to do all sorts of things under one heading. They're quite specific and quite limited.
This, of course, doesn't mean that there aren't other issues. This doesn't mean that they're not doing some of the things that they're accused of. This doesn't mean that they're not engaging in unconstitutional activities. This simply means that they're not using the NSL to accomplish those things.
Who gives a shit? That's what rights are for. Rights involve risks. Yeah, they might have harmed more people but that doesn't give them the right to take away your rights without due process or suspicion. Sorry, but that's the way the whole thing works.
Stripping away my civil liberties is not an acceptable response to your cowardice. Yes, that means risks. Yes, that means that bad things might happen. Oh well... You'll get over it.
Yeah, I kind of find it disheartening that my designs would be considered copyrighted by default. I'd prefer an opt-in for something like this. There are patents, trademarks, design patents, etc... Copyright? No, that's not the kind of protection that I'd want even *if* I wanted protection. In fact, I want the exact opposite and have gotten it.
In other words, I want people to copy it, change it, tweak it, and make use of it. That's why I make it. In the list of things that I mentioned, you'll notice that every one of them is something functional. I don't make knickknacks or curios. I make stuff to be used. I make stuff that will last generations. I make stuff that could, in theory, still be in existence in a millennium.
It's my artistic outlet that gets me to use my hands. I want it to be copied. It inflates my ego and it means it is legitimately being used. I don't want to create, gift, or sell something that remains unused. If I wanted to do that, I'd make decorative art and not utilitarian furniture. I love, for example, Shaker-style creations and tend to move in that direction. I have a full shop, with everything I could possibly need, but I mostly prefer to do things in an un-automated way. So, there's art involved but it's really about being functional and of enough value to be used in that function.
At any rate, copyright can be a wonderful thing but I fear it is not currently as ideal as it could be. One does have a right to the fruits of their work, though some zealots disagree. It is, of course, subject to abuses but so wouldn't a world without it be subject to abuses. I'd say it extends too far and covers too many things. I'd not really thought that my furniture would be covered nor do I want it to be.
I suppose, I should have a lawyer look into it and write something up that grants all of my stuff to the public domain. Yay? Quite frankly, I want anyone to be able to use it. I don't even care if they profit from it. By placing it in the public domain means that the prior-art angle should be covered. *sighs* I guess I can sum it up in an email and send it off to my liar. I'll see what he comes back with.
One big one would be enough: Just sprinkle some iron sulfate on the surface of the ocean. The plankton bloom would not only suck up all the excess CO2, but would also cause a surge in fish stocks that could meet the world's need for protein.
Any idea where I can find more information about this? Perhaps a paper that's publicly available?
I suspect that's a fair-use exemption. The clothing is incidental to the picture. It might be different for fashion magazines and they likely have permission from the vendors.
I have a hobby. I have several but, for this discussion, we will be talking about woodworking. I make a variety of wooden items such as chairs, tables, benches, mirrors, etc... I also make a lot of them with few power tools meaning; I can make a dovetail joint faster by hand than you can set the jig up and make one with a router. Give me a coping saw, chisel, and a pencil and we're good to go. I spend, sometimes, a couple hundred hours on a piece. Then I give them away. Sometimes I make cabinets and I give those away. The wood is often milled from my own property and I sometimes take part in that process, as well.
Now, I don't do it for money (I have, a nominal sum, for reasons of my own - read needing to maintain income for reasons of incorporation and taxation), and I've never once considered copyright, trademark, or even patents to be a concern. I know that, in my country, copyright is assumed on creation which means that (I guess) they're copyrighted by default. (I've not thought about this before so bear with me.)
Now, where do those products fall? Are they less protected because they were made by industrial process? What *is* industrial process? How about those that are not made by power tools? I tried asking The Mighty Google and I didn't really find much information. I even spent a little while searching but it was for naught. I ask because I'd like to know if I need to expressly put them, conceptually or design, into the public work department. I really don't care if someone copies them, makes money from the design, or even copies them exactly.
I already have a fairly local crafter who does that with my express permission though we didn't discuss copyright or even care.
They asked, "Do you mind if I make a few of those and see how they sell?" The reply being, "Of course I don't mind. You know better." "Yeah, but it is good to ask. Should I, you know..." Interrupting, "No, don't add the mental overhead, no need to pay me a dime if they sell. Maybe do something nice for a neighbor or something?" "Ayuh, sounds good."
Anyhow, there are some other intricacies, I'm sure, but if I need to put these expressly into the public domain then I should probably do so. I have no idea how to do so and to do so retroactively.
Oh, and as an aside: Mix instant coffee with just enough warm water to break it down into a paste. Use a lightly damp sponge and apply the paste to the wood, let it sit until dry (wipe it off for a lighter stain), and then lightly sand with a fine grit sandpaper. It is one of the most beautiful stains out there. You can do repeat applications depending on the color desired. I like to finish some surfaces with Butcher's brand bowling alley wax - multiple coats. The person I give it to should apply a new coat every year for the first few years and then it should be good for a few generations before it needs to be resurfaced. To resurface, simply lightly sand and apply the wax again. Do not use a high speed buffer, do it by hand and lower speeds. It's good to see the grain come to life.
I know that you said not to answer it but it depends, first, on the jurisdiction but assuming we're talking about the United States that would mean that yes, it's commercial use - you're using it to gain money, or in an effort to gain money, or some sort of payment/good/service or even elevated social standing. In a strict sense, yes, such would *probably* be a violation of copyright.
Now, what are the odds of you being taken to court? Rather slim. It almost certainly wouldn't qualify as a criminal infraction so it'd almost certainly end up in the civil courts. That said, you'd have a fair use defense. Now, the terminology here is a bit odd but fair use means that you get to violate the copyright. So, you'd still technically be in violation but you'd be given an exception post facto for fair use. You could, of course, just ask for permission in writing and I'm sure they'll grant it or as for a nominal fee.
Someone else who copies your work and reproduces it may be in violation of both your and the landmarks owner's copyrights.
I am not a lawyer but I do pay attention and I've employed many lawyers and I've read a number of findings and interpretations of copyright law as well as many other laws. I've even sat in mock courts to aid students. I also make it a point to frequent the court and observe the proceedings. The latter is, I believe, the duty of any adult who is eligible to vote.
You'll have to split them along percentages of the total picture. If both are shown in equal percentages, the value gets split. You can pay per-use or per month or per year. You get a discount for paying yearly because the merchant fees are lower. If you want you can simply indicate an estimate on your tax form and get a bigger discount by paying a year ahead.
Well, it used to be that if you pointed out a truth about Linux then it was flamebait. Then it extended to Microsoft. Then Uber. PHP was in there somewhere.
I think flamebait means that you're saying something true so they think that you're saying it for no reason except to flame (varied definitions but call it needlessly going off on someone/something). Mostly, it just means you told the truth.
The jackass will probably just get another dog. Some people shouldn't be allowed to own pets. This goes beyond doing a favor for someone, this is doing multiple favors for someone. I guess you could view it like doing a favor for the poor doggy though.
Me? I uh... I don't actually have that problem. If I am home and outside, and the atmosphere is just right, I can sometimes here a cow moo in the middle of the night. If a car actually went by then I might here it if it's loud. Snow deadens the sound so I don't really hear any of it in the winter.
Someone beat me to it. I was going to suggest.22 LR, there are cheap sub-sonics and ways to further reduce the sound. Not for the dog, the dog is innocent. It's the human that's leaving the dog outside and barking. Chain me up and leave me outside and I'm going to be a bit more of a problem than a dog barking.
Hmm... I think the AC is *mostly* correct but should have used quotes. "Mistakes" is a...
I see the less and fewer thing so many times that I'm damned near certain that few people actually know the difference. My grammar isn't really good enough to go throwing stones, so I just skip it.
The universe functions the way it does because, if it didn't then we'd not be here to discuss it. Some posit that it's a mathematical impossibility and still others claim that it is a certainty. There's really not much more to it.
We didn't get our Friday SJW thread. I'm kind of disappointed.
So, with that in mind, it's because gravity is the female variant of force. Obviously, this makes it weaker. Even the most retarded of forces, magnetic force, is stronger than gravity and it's a mentally retarded male force. The feminists have taken over academia and called it the weak nuclear force to imply that it, a male force, was weaker than the strong independent female force of gravity! Well, the yolk's on them because we now the truth.
I, for one, am glad of this publicity! I hope more people see this and realize the harm that has come to science in the name of social justice and political correctness.

What is newsworthy is the lack of the Luddite/APPS poster in this thread. They'd actually be on topic.
Modern app appers use word-processing apps to app apps! Only Luddites use typewriters! Apps app typewriter apps!
APPS!
Yes but ATF is now the BATFE - they added explosives! Now, ye of little imagination, imagine if there were a big-box store with that same name!
