When I saw it on Craigslist I immediately drove out of state to get it. I can tell you that most of these rare birds gravitate to the owmm.org (old woodworking machinery) forum. They even have a surrogate system in place where they help e

Generally, older is better and if you can put a phase converter in (to use 3 phase motors on residential single phase power) you will find better deals. Reason being, industrial businesses will sell off used machines way cheap when they upg

It was fantastic! In every way superior to the modern plastic/aluminum variants. American Sawmill Co was the original Unipoint designer. Their models in the 1950s were the holy grail... a single phase, 110v saw that two guys could ca

Collecting machines from craigslist is a necessary part of the hobby, imo. A 1,000 dollar Powermatic tablesaw is functionally immortal. It will always be worth 1,000 dollars, so you buy it and use it until you don't need it, then sell

I'm still using the last free Sketchup, with some ancient plugins that only work with that version :(. Of all of Google's completely selfish moves in terms of turning their backs on viable products, selling off Sketchup seems to b

Very nice. Woodworking has been a hobby of mine off and on my entire adult life. Two things stand out as having a big impact on woodworking in the past 15 years or so, related to this post: 1) The large-scale adoption of Sketchup as a draft

"Critique" can mean lots of things ;). In this case it was written for a newspaper / magazine so for a popular audience.

Indeed. In American society you could point at Edgar Allen Poe as someone who is only known for his fiction and poems, but who was a prolific critic in his day. He likely made more money as a lecturer than as a fiction writer in his later y

I distinctly remember skipping school when I was about 10 years old and stumbling across the old black and white film version of Great Expectations from the 1950s on the local PBS TV station during that day while my parents were at work. My

This is just flat out false. You're showing your (lack of) age here. The nature of niche languages is people who like them run to the next niche when the next niche springs from the aether. And when their blogs and youtube channnels

Not just for websites, for other stuff. How many people had rented servers for games? A lot. Now video game companies have turned game servers into a SaaS, whereas then they just released Linux server binaries. In the early 2000s there w

Indeed. There is no absolute moral principle, or absolute policy, or absolute form of government, or absolute ideology. The presumption is that people want to get to that absolute end of history, but every indication says they don't. H

It’s telling that people who don’t care about the structure their project is built upon, in that they would do such a breaking change as going from Linux to BSD, are completely convinced of the superiority of their political opinions.

The OP is awfully ironic. The answer, I think, is read more books and less posts. So yes, there is a book on being a better thinker. Pick one.

Curious whether submit-before-search and comment-before-read are states of being rather than side effects of user interface prominence. I suspect they are, but I also suspect there are UI researchers on here who can tell me!

3d printing is a poor engineering method for any such solution, and the hype around it needs to be curtailed further beyond the amount it has withered on its own. The word "massive shortage" specifically precludes 3d printing as a
