Off Grid Alaska
Those can be tricky little fuckers to find when you're looking for them. And when you're not, they're just hanging out in the middle of the trail (photo from Glacier NP). No desire to shoot, just to see. Weird, I know.

I would LOVE to ask my Trumpy parents to babysit for a date night and come back home decked out in Harris-Walz paraphernalia.

2024 Paris Olympics
Golds now tied at 37 with China. Do they have more bullshit events to win or should basketball put us over the top?

Unless Sydney decided to run without hurdles. That would be an event.

If I found myself moving that fast and looked sideways, I would immediately eat shit or veer into another lane.

My dad grew up in rural Minnesota, is incredibly handy, paid his way to technical school and gave us a comfortable and caring upbringing. He is so like Tim Walz in many ways, yet very likely is disgusted by him, for reasons I will make him articulate before this election.

Question about painting baseboards... They're in decent shape, outside of door frames and windowsills, which have a decent amount of chipping. How thoroughly do I need to sand the chip-free areas prior to painting?

2024 Paris Olympics
Basically the only cycling I've watched this olympics was the last 8 km or so of that race. Great time to tune in.

I know jack shit about soccer but that seemed clearly not a foul when I saw it live, and even less so on replay.

Frenchman absolutely crushing it. That underwater on the last lap of a 200M butterfly is nuts.

My wife has been laughing almost constantly for the last 2 days about how Trump says Pete Buttigieg's name at rallies.

Ceremony grew on me as it went along, especially as it got dark. I missed the speech part, fortunately. Celine Dion crushed it. The Eiffel Tower looked amazing.

Tiles are 1/4". At the hardware store I only ever see the diamond-edged hole saw bits, which is what I thought I need to go with. Is that correct? And the mounts you linked look pretty much like the ones that came with the shelves.

Is there any specialized anchor that would be sufficient? The shelves are pretty heavy by themselves. I've also struggled to find anchors of adequate depth, as I believe I would need 3/4" for the 1/4" tile + 1/2" drywall(??).

I brought this up briefly earlier, but does anyone have experience hanging floating shelves on a porcelain tile backsplash? I also only have one stud available so would need to use some anchors. The more I research this project, the more confident I feel that I will fuck it up.
