If there's multiple pieces, there will be seams, although they may not be visible in a video. This is one of the reasons people 'fake' bends: build up the structural wood from multiple pieces, which gets good strength while minimizing material usage, then cover the bent surface with a thin (ie, flexible & inexpensive) veneer, and trim that the to final shape.

Most of the methods mushroommunk described are good for curving wood along its long axis, making the visible/usable surface of the wood curved.

If you mean the desk top is curved, like a C-shape around the user, then they've probably just cut the curve into a big sheet or two of engineered lumber (eg. plywood), and covered that with veneer.

crypto - as in cryptography, not cryptocurrency - is just the library he's using to generate the 128-bit random UUID. The snippet is interesting because he matched the original UUID in just over 5 hours. You'd expect to need more than 10^38 guesses to pick the same number again, which, even at 1 guess every microsecond, means something like 10^22 years.

Disapproval is a temporary condition, anyway. Soon enough, it'll be illegal (or at least dangerous) to express disapproval, and Trump's numbers will be right up there with Putin and Kim.

They released doorbell video of the incident. Dude's running through the neighborhood, half naked, yelling incoherently. Runs up to the home, pounds on the door, rolls around on the porch, still yelling, something about his girlfriend. Bath salts type of crazy.

If the dude really has been "catch-and-kill"ing DJT stories since the 1980s, it's a damn big safe.

acetic acid is almost as volatile as water, and the atmosphere contains a lot less of it. If you evaporate vinegar, you're likely to lose about as much - maybe more - of the acid than the water. So, evaporation is probably not a good way to concentrate vinegar.

Where I am, the $5 eggs are back down to $1.80, and the $6 milk is $2.89. Feels the same as before-times.

It's hard to find restaurant lunch under $15, which is around 50% more than 2019, and even the gyro counter added a default tip when they stopped accepting cash. That's sad, but I cook more now.

No, that's the way the fediverse is supposed to work. It would be sockpuppeting for both of your accounts, say A@A.social and B@b.social, to have a conversation with each other on a third instance, say !politics@c.social, with which both a & b are federated.

Quaint rhyme from better times. Boss is making $34 for my dime today.

Theoretically, six moderate republicans could vote for a Democratic speaker.

If they can secure their families in undisclosed locations and get extra security detail.

Asking some anonymous neighbor to remove their peanut tree was pretty funny.

But maybe more, blaming the barking dogs - complainer's own dogs - on a mysterious peanut feeder, as though squirrels wouldn't be running around the neighborhood, playing on the fences and trees anyway, is like the poster has never experienced squirrels before.

One national election every four years is enough for me. I can't even imagine what the campaigns for judges with the power to rewrite the Constitution through creative interpretation would look like, but if they can put Trump in the White House, they could put him on the Supreme Court.

Term limits. Active oversight. Maybe go back to requiring 60+ votes to confirm so the GOP can't shove the Federalist Society hack-of-the-day through with a simple majority.
