It’s actually surprisingly easy! I’ve done it a few times for my other knives because my wife is morally opposed to having a knife block on the counter. So our knives go in the drawer each with a custom sheath to protect the blade.

All you need is two pieces of wood, each with at least one good flat face. You trace the knife on both sides of one of the pieces of wood. One tracing will be the inside of the sheath (the flat face if you’re not using s4s), the other tracing will be on the outside which you’ll use as a reference to shape the sheath. You then chisel or route where the knife will go, place the knife in it to make sure it fits properly. Glue the flattest face of the other board to the side you just routed. Once the glue is cured, use a belt sander to give the sheath the general shape you want, then orbital or hand sand to get it nice and smooth. Apply finish of choice, then you’re good to go.

Plex is truly great! I forgot to mention it streams music in addition to movies and tv. The Plex web app is not particularly fantastic for streaming music, but they have a separate app called Plexamp that is really great. So all in all you can use this setup to eliminate all your streaming subscriptions.

This is a great solution! I was searching around a bit more and couldn’t find any other apps doing this. I think I’m going to just create a Keep note for each book I read, then I can use Google lens to scan the text and copy what I want into the note and add the page number for reference.

He’s basically on Kyrie’s level now. Still a good player as he showed last season, but his trust level is through the floor. Can’t be trusted to perform under pressure, can’t be trusted to play on a contract he just opted into, makes trade demands not requests. And for they kind of money he’s expecting? Who wants that?

ETA: this is a dumb emotional take, but as a Sixers fan I’d rather have Kyrie at this point lol. I’m sure I would regret that though.

Yeah this is also one of the bigger fines I’ve seen coming from the league to a player. Biggest I’ve seen is Stoudamire getting fined $250k after he got arrested for the third time for marijuana possession.

That may be true for some people individually, but I believe if no one at a company is able to build any connection (even on a professional level of base rapport ), that’s much more an indicator of the company’s failures to build a proper company culture that supports that.

People have been making close friends over the Internet with zero in-person interactions for decades now. And that’s even without video chat being the primary way of doing it. I work 100% remote at a company with ~2500 employees. I’m pretty introverted, but I’ve managed to make a few friends mostly over slack that I would ask if they wanted to grab a drink or something if I were traveling through their area. There’s no pressure or expectation of that from the company, there’s no “we’re family” nonsense, they’ve just created a company culture where that can happen.

LOL I totally identify with this. I don’t remember upvoting, but it looks like I already did. Just un-upvoted and re-upvoted for good measure.
