Finally finished one of the projects for my workshop (rolling cart for a bench top planer). Also, the weather's been nice so checked out a new park in the neighboring city.

Thanks, didn't know about the steelbook edition. Those sound like some cool extras, might have to pick it up
Parika is probably my favorite anime movie (perhaps even movie in general). Incredibly visually stunning and cerebral.
Every Frame a Painting has a great video about the director Satoshi Kon's unique style and influence on other filmmakers. Made me appreciate the editing and imagery even more.
I'm also holding out for a compact flagship (with a headphone jack and SD card slot) but things have been pretty bleak. Settled on the Sony Xperia 5 line. While it's not small, it's narrow enough to be used with one hand and checks all the other boxes.
Other models I've looked at were the Asus Zenfone 10, Jelly Max, and Galaxy.
Installed an All American RO from US Water Syatems. Been pretty happy with it, no issues in 2 years and their how-to videos and customer support is excellent if you want to install it yourself. Even bought one for my parents house. The 6 stage version includes a remineralization step, they call it Livation.

A lot of times I'll get gaps when cutting a side too short. Now I'll try sneak up on the line with a few cuts and dry fit it in between.
A stop block on a miter saw or miter gauge can help get repeated cut lengths better than a pencil line.
The hand tool alternative is a plane and shooting board. Might need a dedicated 45 deg jig or donkey's ear depending on the size of your pieces.
Somewhat unrelated, but you can get a cable protector to conceal the power cord a bit.
For breaking down 2x4s and rough cutting sheet goods, I just have a cordless Craftsman that has a lever depth adjuster. After 2 years of regular use I haven't had any complaints about it. DeWalt or Makita are also pretty popular. IMO prob the bigger consideration is which battery ecosystem do you want to jump into (if going cordless and not already in one).
On the other end of the spectrum, the easiest depth stop I've used is on festool's track saw but that's going cost a lot more.
"Correo de las brujas" translates to "the witches' mail" and means gossip or rumors. Kind of like "heard it through the grapevine" or a "a little birdie told me"
Nice shot. Loved the Olympus micro 4/3 line, really fun cameras and super light.
Is the 401k plan from your previous employer? I'd first check if your plan admin will let non-active employees take loans out. Otherwise, if it helps your decision, the interest accrued from a 401k loan goes back into your own account, so it's like you're paying yourself interest. The main pitfall would be making sure you can pay it back on the agreed upon schedule, otherwise you get penalized. Also, while your money is removed from the market, you're technically losing out on potential growth, but sounds like you'd benefit more from having access to the money now.
Honestly, if it were me and it would set me up for a career and I probably would do it and just make sure to contribute as much as I can to my retirement once I'm able to. Some alternatives would be a credit card or retailer with a fixed fee pay-over-time feature or a 0% interest intro offer. Failing that, you may just to get creative (sell things, pick up some side gigs, etc.)
