Thanks for another great episode, guys! Appreciate the reference to touch grass, that was new to me 🙂
If you want to get into woodworking for not very much $$$, there are a ton of projects you can make with a pocket hole jig, a clamp on saw guide, and a bench sander. Oh and a circular saw, but you already have one, right? Buy an aftermarket blade for it. Dust collection is a thing, but if you move outside to do your cuts and sanding, then nature will take care of it!
I have been listening to the amp hour for so many years, and consider it one of my favorite rituals. I wanted to share a thought with Chris: Dave is far more on it than you seem to give him credit for. The fact he isn’t dragged down by the BS surface politics / semantics / conformity-driven groupthink actually makes his perspective pretty valuable, and you often laugh it off. I may be alone in this, but man, sometimes you sound so condescending and it can be frustrating as a listener when your take is clearly way off but your tone still so dismissive and superior. Credit to Dave for putting up with that relatively well.
That being said, I admire you both for the energy and effort you bring to the community and hope the podcast (and importantly your relationship as co hosts) lives on for a long time!
Yeah, you could be right that I’ve had a condescending tone and that Dave and I’s long history together has some snark that pops out after 14 years, but if you’re only hearing my tone, you ain’t listening with open ears. I’d wager you’re just used to hearing his tone more.
> The fact he isn’t dragged down by the BS surface politics / semantics / conformity-driven groupthink actually makes his perspective pretty valuable
Dave has lots of valuable perspectives, but his devotion to Elon and the X brand is not one I will ever agree with.
I’d be interested in hearing you elaborate on “Dave is far more on it […] The fact he isn’t dragged down by the BS surface politics / semantics / conformity-driven groupthink”.
What do you think about X and how they claim to be for freedom of speech, yet silence people who think otherwise about the H-1B visa issue?
Thanks. Enjoy your day.
