Why can’t Apple make a charger that doesn’t fray at the joint between the plug and the cable

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Some super 33 or 88 around that joint will greatly extend life span of the cord.

Been that way about two years now.

Ballast then. Too bad.

You know I feel your pain, brother.

On a happier note...it's our 36th anniversary today. How she hasn't murdered me in my sleep I have no idea.

Happy Anniversary!!!

36th Anniversary, that’s spectacular ! Congratulations to you and your lady love.

The DEK3 is the largest reject rate in our company history. We've never lost more knives, either by percentage or in total numbers, than this project. The vast majority of the MC DEK3 are getting buried in the creek bed.

Many knifemakers seem to have had issues working with MC. Even the infamous company on the BF hall of shame, who I shall not name, is attributing their endless backlog to MC decarb

No. Not in this case, unfortunately. 80% are literally scrap. Going into the same bucket as the drops etc. Not usable, cannot be salvaged.

That 80% still blows my mind .... that freaking sucks

You could make some cool paperweights outta them and give them away as marketing bling!

Congratulations on the 36th anniversary! We celebrated our 31st anniversary on the same day (15th), but I wasn't allowed online to post about it until after my wife went to bed

Random, because I finally have a reason to wear a flannel while enjoying my morning cup of coffee while outside waiting for the sunrise.

Been odd weather here this summer. In a good way. Less heat and more rain when it’s usually miserably hot and dry.
I had my sweat pants on yesterday and again today sitting on the coffee porch. 63 now.
Fall is just around the corner

NTM, GPS coordinates for creek bed, please.

The location of the ceremonial burial site is towards the back of the "compound". It would be pretty weird if somebody were able to get both in and out of there without being converted into Sadie poop in the process.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

You are, of course, welcome to try.

Sadie enjoys quality protein.

 

[madcap_magician]

The K20 has a sizable reject rate too, but they're going to be re-worked into something else. The DEK3 are a total loss.

Wait wait wait. What else!

I'm just about to go out for an eight-miler, and it's 58. Really nice this week after since thunderstorms, but going back to the nineties next week.

Also congrats and many more to Blues !

Maybe the DEK3 scraps could be turned into key chain. A bottle opener with a simple pry opener end ??? Heck I’d buy a couple of those.
