Statue of Liberty should just be dismantled and taken back to France at this point to be honest.

We also lust after having a good dust collector as well, major problem in our basement!!

This has done a pretty good job, only made 1 error in about 50 cuts today and that was definitely a PEBKAC kind of problem. If we weren’t potentially moving in the next few years we’d be investing in proper Festool track saw for sure.

Yes I already had a good Makita circular saw and we’re trying not to buy corded electrical tools at the moment in case we move back to the UK in the next few years, so this was a happy medium. $100 for the add on tool. That said, I really want a proper Festool track saw if we were to invest in one.

Yeah but they’ve historically had a shit record with removing contracts from women who get pregnant during the height of their career or don’t win enough. Feels like saving face and full of bullshit.

It is! We are hopefully building the cabinets around it in a few weeks time and then getting the panels

Oh this is weird - I see the video here now as I comment from Flashes. Maybe it’s a bug? Anyway, I feel in the same boat as you. I don’t know why I’m on 60 different social apps now and so confused. You’re not alone!

I joined too - but decided to keep them connected. It’s interesting how it auto publishes between the two apps depending on whether you have attached media or not.

They just announced Flashes in beta today! Go check out the Bluesky feed and sign up for the beta. It’s interesting with both accounts connected and the auto publish between the two, but I like it so far and being able to designate all sorts of feeds for yourself. No stories yet though

You’re also not supposed to be able to create a department out of thin air and give random people power without the power of Congress … and yet that hasn’t stopped him.
