  • I’m in my 40’s and have always been a tech nerd. I have no personal information or pictures I don’t want to get out saved in the cloud. All of my things are only locally saved and backed up. I also keep multiple emails with different passwords and names. My Microsoft account I do have is verified for changes through a non Microsoft email address.

    It would be a pain in the ass to screw with me in any major capacity. Quite frankly, I’m still surprised that the masses just accept cloud saving all their pictures and documents, just trusting Amazon or Google or Apple or Microsoft to not have security issues, especially when they’ve had so many security issues.





  • I’m fine with commercial job requirements for the stops, but against having to have one on my personal table saw. It’s not like it’s just an extra couple of dollars to have the saw stop, plus the cost of a new blade and brake if it does lockdown and stop it. The system isn’t foolproof in that it only stops skin from getting cut. I could cut a piece of moist wood and it could stop. Actually, I could see that being an issue for a lot of commercial job sites. Sometimes the wood you’re cutting is going to have some rain on it.








  • I’m actually watching the original buffy right now for the first time, even though I was a highschool kid when it originally aired.

    Go watch that. It holds up very well. I’m about to start season 6 (of 7) right now. Only thing that dates it really, is that no one has cell phones. They were common to have in the mid 90’s to early 2000’s when the show aired, but tons of movies and TV shows around then chose to mostly ignore their existence because they blocked off or simplified so many plot points and story lines. It’s strange to think that no one beyond my generation will know what it was like to not have cell phones and the internet.
