When cutting aluminum, push very gently. And when the raw material gets too small, don’t try cutting the last little piece. Small working material will increase the chance of accidents. I set my limit around 20 cm.

This. So much this. Even when cutting wood properly on a mitre be careful with little pieces. You simply cannot control or hold really small pieces. Almost lost some fingers and scaring the hell out of myself making that mistake.

I think you can get away with it for aluminum, but just be cautious and slow knowing its not the ideal tool. I’m sure it will work through since its such a soft metal. Just listen to the motor in case it protests your feed rate.

That looks like a mitre saw, but you mentioned you want to cut aluminum. Be careful, I believe mitre saws are for wood only and spin much faster than a chop saw which is designed for metal and spins slower.

I’m almost 40 and now just realizing my insistence on how to structure all my folders and notes is actually an ISO standard. Way to go me.

I read that entire article, thank you. Explains a bit why the company I work for seems really hesitant to hire more software engineers.

My mother in law tells me how worried she is for my daughter and how unfair it is trans kids will compete with her in sports and use her bathrooms. Thanks for the heads up, keep hiding in your house in the woods and leave the parenting to me, this doesn’t affect you now shut up.

You have to park in a garage and walk down a narrow path lined with people trying to sell you shit. Its more like visiting a mall with aggressive salesmen than a national park. It was the worst stop I made during a cross country road trip.

Thank you. I’ve been subscribed to this sub for months and didn’t know a damn thing just that it consistently produced amusing content. Please proceed you glorious bastards.
