As you've laid your judgement of your woodwork on all woodwork, and thus have concluded that all woodwork is less intelligible than all software building. I know this is an interpr…

I would not call it insanely expensive, if you compare a Bosch Glide miter saw with the kapex, yes there is a difference, but it's not insane. The same goes for other festool tools…

If you don't care about it being square, durable and trustworthy, than something like TACKLIFE might work, but for a miter saw I would pick something just a bit more expensive, or …

Downloaded it, but tbh, can't really see where it is better than any other native terminal. For OS X its a hefty 100 megabytes, just for a terminal app, with plugins, Google Analyt…

It amazes me how in America the cabinet style table saw is still favoured above the European Slider. I own a European slider, and it allows me to have my hands further away from th…

I really do not anymore understand Jolla. I have bought a Jolla Phone in the past followed by backing the tablet. The phone started slowly to annoy me more and more, mainly because…

But the concept far worse is very... human and emotional.. Chernobyl is uninhabitable for my years to come. But Agra is just really dirty. It is impossible to compare the tragedies…

It seems weird to target them because their services can be abused for illegal purposes like terrorism. One can use Bic pens also for terrorist purposes, but I don't recall people …

Why is this typical leftist? I see more of a typical angry reaction to something that happens in his country and somehow threatens his feeling of social security.

I have tried it many times, I wanted to switch several times to Linux, I even bought a laptop suitable for Linux, but shortly after got a macbook. I find that Darktable is in no wa…
