The rough sawn lumber here indeed comes in slightly larger labeled sizes than the planed stuff. To me it just seems kind of obvious you can't just... lie about the size of what you're selling. Sure it's a natural product and

Note that additionally in many metric countries the specified size of a piece of wood is actually the size it is . If I go to the local hardware store and get a piece of 100x50mm wood I'm pretty much assured it's that size ± a mi

For some context, this is a Titanfall reference. Part of the story in Titanfall 2 is a pilot getting ejected by a mech against the pilots wishes. I'll refrain from saying more as to avoid spoiling too much.

If you've tried blender last before or around version 2.5 or so I can heavily recommend giving it another go. Much less stuff is hidden behind hotkeys, and the interface in general behaves more like you'd expect it to. I can&#x2

The problem there is that protected attributes can often be inferred from unprotected ones. The dutch tax authority got into hot water due to discriminating based on name. Names are not protected, but when you start marking people with for

In the Netherlands PVC for sewer applications is gray. for ventilation applications it's usually white. PVC electrical conduit is a yellowed white. Makes you wonder why the stuff gets dyed at all really.

It sort of depends? For most stains it works just fine, but it's hit-or-miss for vegetable matter. Spinach especially has a tendency to stick to things and then get rock hard in the drying cycle. For those I manually scrape off the spi

I think we're basically agreeing. All I'm saying is that it's much easier for newbies to be "present" when using a tool that seems dangerous.
