List of the 16 Democrats "not voting" on vote to release Matt Gatez Report. Democrats needed 7 more votes.

You're supposed to know who your representative is, but I find that if you want others to do things you make it easier for them. These should have their constituents listed next to their names every time.

Here are the 16 US House Representatives sorted by state and then by district:

  1. Arizona
  2. Ruben Gallego - 3rd congressional district
  3. Raúl M. Grijalva - 7th congressional district
  4. California
  5. Jimmy Gomez - 34th congressionial district
  6. Ted Lieu - 36th congressional district
  7. Katie Porter - 45th congressional district
  8. Eric Swalwell - 14th congressional district
  9. Kevin Mullin - 15th congressional district
  10. New Jersey
  11. Mikie Sherrill - 11th congressional district
  12. New York
  13. Jamaal Bowman - 16th congressional district
  14. Oregon
  15. Earl Blumenauer - 3rd congressional district
  16. Pennsylvania
  17. Dwight Evans - 3rd congressional district
  18. Texas
  19. Jasmine Crockett - 30th congressional district
  20. Lizzie Fletcher - 7th congressional district
  21. Henry Cuellar - 28th congressional district
  22. Virginia
  23. Jennifer Wexton - 10th congressional district
  24. Washington
  25. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez - 3rd congressional district

Multiple edits later: I struggled to get the lists formatting and the sort of districts didn't work. You get the idea though. If you live in these states you should be asking questions of your representatives.

I found one of these in an estate sale. I still have it and it's incredible. The sound when you mash the button all the way down that triggers the tuning forks is so weird and satisfying.

I just looked and saw these go for about $200 US today. WOW!!

Almond Mushroom (Agaricus subrufescens)

Reply in thread

Thank you so much for your response! I recently built a LFH and plan to start using it soon. Life’s been a bit hectic since we had a baby 7 months ago, so my hobbies have taken a back seat for a while. Right now I'm not messing with LC or agar because of a lack of bandwidth.

Please post about your LFH work.

I’m really impressed with your approach to working with agar. That mushroom species seems pretty rare and fascinating!

I'd love to see the substrate and fruit bodies you propagate this on too.

Is this normal? I repaired a DW745 Table Saw

Well, the screws were definitely over torqued, but it didn't fix the issue. I tried multiple methods to get one of the screws out but had to use a grinder and a flathead screwdriver to get it out.

I think I may have an Idea what is causing the issue after looking at the gears after your advice.

Since the clanky movement really only happens in one direction when the saw is on its side I figured it had something to do with the direction of the pressure being applied by the screw mechanism.

When I put the table saw completely upside down and then tried to move the blade up and down it was very smooth.

This led me to think that there might be some movement in the gears based on the pressure that's being applied. Watch this video to see what I'm talking about and you'll see a gap that closes when I go in one direction and opens back up in the other.

You can see the movement of the gear at about the 1:04 mark in the video.

Any advice?

I am reluctantly ordering a single wave washer here for $9.76 if you include shipping:

5140032-75 Washer, Curved, 10.1 X 17Mm - Dewalt®

I checked all of my local hardware stores. I think Lowes usually has these, but they said their small parts vendor hasn't come to restock anything in a long time and they weren't sure when they would be coming back. All other hardware stores in my area didn't have them or staff wasn't very helpful.

I will keep everyone updated. I hope this is the last part that I need to order online. I'll try to do a summary video when I'm done because I haven't found many that really get into this level of detail on repairing this specific issue online. I'm just glad I'm keeping this thing out of the dump and I hope to start using it soon so I can start to build and repair some stuff around the house. Super excited about building a French Cleat system in my shed.
