Do you think kids in Thunder Bay are worse off than Montreal because of the time zone relative toe sunrise? They're both on EST, but sunrise is about an hour off between the two of them. Or is it about kids going to school in the dark, because I have bad news for you regarding most of Canada...

Had a similar issue a couple months ago with sending money to my WS TFSA in a way that required a chequing intermediary account, and I also remember being boggled by the conditions attached (and ended up cancelling the transfer instead). Fortunately I don't have much over there yet, just been testing the waters. Aviso's Qtrade is probably next up for me to try.

Looks like it's only ITS sequencing ("barcoding") which is really old/cheap technology compared to modern whole genome sequencing (PacBio + HiC, etc). It's a very limited view of the genome, but still useful for broad phylogenetic analysis though, and definitely worthwhile since it'll be a while before we have a meaningful fraction of fungal species fully sequenced. I suspect there isn't much grant money out there for fungal diversity...

If you're going to try it, my advice: mix some very fine sanding dust (maybe 120 or so) with some poly with a putty knife until it's a really thick paste, and then jam it into the cracks... it'll shrink a little so be liberal with it and just sand it before you do the final finish. If you're really artsy too, you can actually paint on matching grain with acrylic and an incredibly fine brush to help it match. I've also just filled up cracks with sawdust and applied a few drops of poly, but it never seems to match quite as well for me that way.

I actually need to try something new for my next oil finish project too, so I'll be keeping an eye on this post, haha.

Just been thinking about this a lot because the feet really bug me somehow. I think it probably is do-able as other people have mentioned, but also, are you sure this is a real box someone made and not AI-generated? I hate to have to ask it, but these days... and man, why don't the feet visibly support the box? I guess it could be inlaid... like I said, I don't think it's impossible. Just odd somehow.

He had them steal a donkey for him, dude. And accepted the full cult leader treatment. Matthew 21:1-11

But we could play verse quoting all day. I encourage you to go back and actually read the first two books from start to end, as I did recently. They're super fucked-up.

Here's the thing though. A lot of the first two books of the New Testament is about how awful the Jews are and how Jesus was a cult leader who got his followers to abandon their families for him and even got his followers to steal for him. Reading Matthew and Mark in the light of today's politics, Jesus looks like a right-wing grifter. Seems like they're reading it right to me.

We're going to be entering a golden age of hacks in the next 5 years, I'm calling it now. All this copy-pasted bad ChatGPT code is going to be used in ways that generate security holes the likes of which we've never seen before.

As long as they're both water-based and you scuff it up a little with 120 beforehand, you should be fine, although I haven't used that specific set of finishes. Can always do the tried and true and try it out on a test piece first if you're really worried.

But yeah, TBH, even if you went crazy and used epoxy or urushi, pretty sure it'd get scratched up with kids being kids. I use 10+ coats for specific applications, and it's very scratch resistant (in fact it seems more more than the technically harder urushi... this is where I redact a few paragraphs of finish hardness discussion...), but standing up to kids, nah.
