What character is holding him hostage?

I have the next model up (400 Pro) so mine will likely accept larger diameter branches. But with that said one needs to learn the machine's limits in terms of both diameter and wetness.

Before I chip up a pile of branches I'll go through with a swede saw and lop off any parts that are too big. That'll let me breeze through the pile without fighting the machine too much. Also cut apart any wide crotches that won't feed through on their own.

+1 to Freetax USA! It handles all the stuff which require premium editions of other tax applications. And this year they've added PDF parsing which greatly simplified my 1099s.

I like the way he drew cars. They look weak and frantic.

A variety of mouth shapes would makes the characters more dynamic. It really does look like they're always yelling.

Even in the 80s it would have been a humorously dated reference to gangster movies. And you'd use it with a hammed-up accent, saying it like "coitans"

This one could have used a better punchline. I like the setup.

Same here, if I want to use a large display for any task or a movie I fire up my laptop.

OpenScad because I do simple things like funnels or part bins.

Was that song overplayed?

The $16 is if you're also filing state taxes with it. Federal is still free.

I wonder how many people actually only do federal with it? 2%?

Thanks for posting that, I didn't understand the reference.

I've had my Baratza Virtuoso since 2014-ish and was able to replace the burrs last year. Recommended.

Thanks for the detail - our single basin sink came with one of these and we never used it.

Love these guys! We have a bunch of bee balm (wild bergamot) outside our window so we get two shows: first hordes of bees and then finches!

We have a Mafter 10" that works great. The handle is kind of primitive feeling but one gets used to it. It totally replaced the 10" stainless All Clad pan which is now lingering in the basement.

I think it should be renamed "red-capped woodpecker".

That photo captured one with a very red belly!! The ones in our backyard have just a blush of orange.

I would leave it alone. Given the age of the wood it will likely not crack any further. It has already dried as much as it can.

Maybe that's the right wing halftime show?

Aldi's Beaumont Classic Roast is cheaper than CostCo's options. It's not too bad.
