  1. Shock G (pronounced with the Umpty) of Digital Underground: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/shock-g-digital-underground-humpty-hump/2021/04/24/a517642e-a50a-11eb-85fc-06664ff4489d_story.html
  2. With a ladder, but it wouldn't fit more than half in the shower. So reaching the corner was awkward
  3. I love tile, but I dislike almost all the tile you can actually find. Good tile is rare. Also, the tile is heavy, getting a ladder in the space is impossible so everything was weirdly cantilevered, and vertigo.
  4. Here's the tile w/ grout. It's a quite small bathroom. We had to tear out tile that was done in the late 1920's, which was very sad, but the pipes were leaking. We did preserve the plaster crown, but it was otherwise a total gut. And I'd like to say that tiling the ceiling is probably the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life.
  5. Which was delightful when it came time to grout it.
  6. Maybe you are using the wrong amplifier ...
  7. That was Colin's project.
  8. Happy birthday! Hope you have a great one!
  9. This is a year old, but I missed it at the time. RIP Kellye Nakahara.
  10. These are disposable/unrepairable headphones. Replacement drivers are built into the price. I'd clip out the metal screen and solder them in place as that's less likely to cause failure. This works with hide glue, but probably not so well with PVA glue (the ubiquitous yellow wood glue). PVA is impervious to water - it's basically plastic and is designed to last in underwater applications. This is why antique furniture is repairable, but mid century furniture, and newer, generally isn't.
  11. RIP Yaphet Kotto: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/mar/16/yaphet-kotto-star-of-live-and-let-die-and-alien-dies-aged-81
  12. Pallet jack.

  15. Worth your time if you are a fan
  16. Pretty amazing.
  17. Happy Birthday!
  18. FWIW, I have a big brother version of that sander, and I absolutely loathe it. It turns out that a sander can have way too much power. The little one is more useful.
  19. I made the shortcrust with Calvados instead of water which turns out to be a very good thing to do.
