A piece of double sided tape might be enough if it is not that heavy. Just make sure to take slow passed and not too much at a time.

If it is really small I've been know to just hold it against my orbital sander, just be careful for your fingers.

I don't know if you have a router available? If you can make a leveling jig that you can run the router over, flattening is easy.

Mine already reboots every night. It's a setting I can change on my OnePlus.

I enabled it long ago. A reboot will also kill anything that is running in your memory like a page mining crypto or a virus that has not yet gotten to your file system yet. Or at least I'd like to think so....

Anyways, the reboot also insured that if my phone is ever taken from me, after 24 hours max they will have to both enter my PIN and my phone security code. I wish them good luck. There's not much interesting stuff on my phone, but that does not mean I want everyone to have free access too it.

I feel like the best wood workers are the ones that know how to do creative problem solving well.

Like, they make just as much mistakes as anyone else, they just know how to solve them better and quicker. I really love video's where the wood worker makes a mistake, admits to it and shows how it is solved. Keith Johnson woodworking is one that comes to mind.

So forget about your silly mistake. Laugh, and think of how you are going to fix it. It is a shop jig, so simply joining it back together in a strong way seems fine to me.

And thanks for the laugh, this would be something I would do too...

Oh no, they will not go until a proper base is built. You don't expect them to actually do any physical work now do you? First get the slaves in, built a nice cozy home for the rich, and then, when the world has all the comforts they need they will move over.

Just be glad they managed to fly around your ship and not through it. Navigating at those speeds is hard, matching speed with an older ship, connecting to it and transfering all the people over is probably also difficult.

Not to mention those in the older ship are probably brought into hypersleep in a different way then more modern ships, so they might not actually be equipped to handle the people from the older ship.

HBO also allows a code on profiles.

Where is that comic about standards now that we need it? The one where they create a new standard that is going to solve all the problems, except for now there is just one more standard??

Thanks for the laugh.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

The US have a shitstorm coming. That's what you get when you let a toddler play with the control knobs of the country.

Another very interesting point is how China made themselves so powerful. Anything with electronics needs some sort of resource from China. China is a very big and powerful player.

We should wonder if we want t be this dependant on one country for all our tech needs. I think the answer is no....

That one time I got an executable online that made girls strip on my desktop was great. Of course, the spyware and virus crap that was secretly behind it was not. I think that was the first time I did a full reinstall of Windows for the first time. Good times.

Burning CD's, ripping CD's with programs to remove the protection and save songs as MP3...

Anyone remembers cracks? You would replace a couple of files in the game folder and you could run a game without the CD, or a pirated version. These days with the online crap that is much more difficult. Or the serial number generators for some games or software because some genius found out how the software checked the number?

I'm dead anyway. But thanks, it may increase my odds slightly.
