For trim & 2-by lumber, you're absolutely right, a compound miter saw is the right tool for the job. But if you're building furniture of any kind - even simple shelving - you'll find yourself needing to rip sheets, and a circular saw is the simplest, cheapest, most versatile tool for that job.

I bought a Milwaukee M12 Fuel cordless oscillating multi-tool, and it quickly became an indispensable go-to. It's great for sanding in tight spots, and when you slap a drywall blade on it, it'll cut an outlet hole in seconds flat, and with a metal blade, it'll cut through screws like buttah.

I have the DeWalt 20V Li-Ion cordless circular saw, and it really is fantastic. I went cordless because I wanted to be able to use the saw to make long cuts without having to worry about proximity to an outlet, dragging an extension cord around, or cutting through the cord (which I probably would've done while making…

Just to be clear, where it says "pulled", "sliced", etc., that's the end-goal for the meat, while the times/temps are for the whole piece, right?

That...was awesome. I never thought I'd be willing to get a babysitter and buy theater tickets for a Power Rangers movie, but here we are. This needs to become a full-length film ASAP.

I'm sure the German language has exactly the world you're looking for.

That's the experience if you're an average-looking dude with no connections trying to get into whatever happens to be the hottest club of that particular week. However, if you know someone, are good looking and/or female, or are willing to grease some palms, then getting into the hottest club du jour is much less…

The fact that the possible premise is early containment ... Shouldn't that, or wouldn't that happen in Atlanta? That is where the CDC is and where some of the current set of characters were told that the CDC was the last stand to find a cure.

The 'hood' area of the yacht folds out to become a big platform, usable as either a helipad, a place to do donuts with your supercar, a stage for when you use your resources to re-animate Nick Drake and have him perform, or anything else you want. The yacht also is capable of working in differing 'modes,' so it can be…

Keurig is the Beats of coffee.

Sounds like this SNL commercial parody:

Maybe the air is roughly & quickly shoved out of the way, resulting in a sonic boom and/or maybe a very brief fireball...neither are things some sound insulation & space shuttle tile couldn't handle.

Deleted because I skimmed over the first paragraph.

Came here to see if anyone made a Lewis Black joke. Left satisfied...thank you.

Just a couple months ago I was informed by a Notre Dame alum that MD has "the best undergraduate and graduate schools in the country, look it up." This person didn't offer any additional instructions on where I could "look it up", unfortunately. I was amused (though not as amused after this past weekend's…

Dick move, dude. It's like we're laughing, we're laughing, everyone's having fun, Putin joke, we're laughing, BAM! LOYAL OLD DOG DIES WAITING FOR HIS MASTER. Just like that, buzz harshed.

Huh. Good counterpoint, and food for thought.

I recently tried to pick a Jetta at an airport car rental, but apparently it was "out of order", so out of morbid curiosity, I went with the 200 parked next to it. While it was generic as hell and I hated the rotating knob gearshift, on the whole it wasn't bad.

Agreed. Simply saying "America needs high-speed rail!" muddies the waters. Northeast corridor? Hell yeah, it's long overdue. San Diego-LA-San Francisco? Yeah, probably. Linking Chicago to Milwaukee, Detroit, and St Louis? Maybe (though as a Chicagoan, I would LOVE this). But the whole country? Absolutely not;…
