Well, there IS a picture. On mobile, didn't see it the first time. Yeah, with a single wheel mounted like that on an arm, that gate is definitely going to sag over like that. Maybe add another of those wheels on the opposite side so the support is balanced?

With a gate that long you may have to attach a support wheel on the bottom. You'll always have sagging issues using wood. I tried doing a 4x8' gate for the parking area where I put my camper. Would always sag over time, even with heavy hinges and steel cable on the diagonal. Land was sloped so couldn't do a support wheel. Ended up having to do two 4' gates either side instead.

I'm running Newpipe through Proton VPN, working as of today.

I bought a couple usgs maps of the local mountains about 8 years ago, but that was the last time. Used to buy the map book for Michigan every few years when I lived there. Had pretty detailed prints of all the roads, waterways, state lands, and even marked hiking trails. Great for finding streams for fishing and places to camp. But now printed maps seem hard to find. Local gas stations don't have them, and I've noticed that rest stops on the highway don't give them out anymore either. Used to hit rest stops in every state I drove through when traveling to get new ones for the glove box.

Our international partners began moderating the intelligence they would share while Trump was in office. They couldn't trust him to not blab about state secrets during dinner parties just to try to impress people with how smart and important he was.

I'm a quality chemist. I test the API's that process chemists make to be sure they're right. Yeah, reactions don't always proceed as intended. These guys do understand the risks, and are only trying to provide an option. Here in the US the insurance companies are perfectly willing to let us die because funding expensive treatment hurts their bottom line. Unless you're independently wealthy, a small scale reactor at home may become the only option a person has available. Definitely risky, but why not take the chance when corporate America has determined you're not valuable enough to save?

Maybe something that looks like a shaggy aardvark with a curly tail.

Sounds like he's doing ok.

I wish the US had made the switch to metric back in the 70's. I remember having to learn it in grade school, and there seemed to be a push for it, but never went anywhere. I now work as a chemist where everything is done in metric, but then go back to US measures once I punch out for the day. Would be nice to have a single system instead.

I love that having a 3d printer means you can create custom parts when you need them. I wanted a set of leveling brackets for a router table insert. Sketched up something in Solid Edge, sent it to the printer and a few hours later I have what I need. Nothing complex but functional. Used PETG on this set.

If the guy deems himself to be a sovereign citizen, not subject to the laws of the state, why is he even bothering to make a fake license plate for the car? By doing so he's just abiding by a requirement of a system he's claiming to not be bounded by? (In a second-grader with a crayon and paper kind of way).

Probably the one thing they didn't plan on going wrong.

Last album put out by the Unfit a couple years ago. Worth checking out.

Right hand inswing. If you were standing outside to open the door, it would swing inward to the right.

Looks like she's already wearing one from the photo they used. Very brave and admirable for her to step up and continue forward.

I was looking at the settings for Connect, hit "Save Settings" before closing, and now some of my phone's default colors have changed. I have lime green and mint for random text in different applications. Using a Google Pixel 7 Pro. Anyone else notice this?
