We've been dealing with the smell of citristrip this weekend lol, we can deal with the poly smells. Our house uses evap cooling which provides a ton of options for ducting air away from where the people are.

Wish that was an option, but whatever dingaling installed this stuff put all kinds of caulk on the bottom edge and then nailed it in...

Somebody committed a series crime against wood with this lol. Just trying to come up with something reasonable.

Why would you go with a stain+poly vs a finishing oil of some sort?

I don't mind Pho, but I won't seek it out.

My favorite pho uses Udon rice noodles, lemongrass spicy broth, and beef brisket... But that's so far from traditional Pho I'm not really sure it counts anymore lol.

Is this a shit post, or the wrong link?

What hops you should grow is more determined by your growing conditions than what you want to drink.

I live in NM, so I have two varieties of NeoMexicanus, plus a new drought tolerant variety called Vista.

I generally shoot for varieties that are hard to get new, so that's a good fit for me.

However, if your in Sweden I don't even know if you can grow hops outdoors. Your climate is about as opposite mine as we could get and still both be growing hops!

Yeah all fair.

That's pretty much how I feel about apple. I think at this point I'm leaning towards going to Graphene OS. I used to use custom ROMs a bunch back in the CyanogenMod days.

Yeah, I'm not trying to go full paranoia on this.

The main thing I'm worried about is Google's response to geolocation based subpoenas. That combined with the US political environment is concerning.

The second thing is the stupid advertiser tracking. That's just not cool.

Yeah, this is what concerns me.

Stock Android is neither. So for the average user, Apple iOS is probably better.

I'm on lemmy so I'm probably not the average user lol.

Pure personal preference. I've traditionally gone back and forth almost every time I get a new phone. It's really only in the last 2-3 years I've hit the point I significantly prefer android.

For me, some of the interface choices on iOS are no Bueno. Additionally, the lack of a button, or simulated button is not something I'm fond of.

I'm also not convinced they are more private. I think Apple's incentives line up more with mine than Google's, but only barely. Independent researchers are pretty mixed on whether Apple is actually blocking all apps, or just making it so Apple is the only one who can profit off of people's data.

The only reason I think they are probably more private is the giant hissy fit Facebook threw over their settings.

Went to signal awhile ago, mainly because it's secure and cross platform.

Hmm that would seem to do the trick then. Curiously, by that same definition reddit would have an argument to being exempt.

I guess lemmy's lack of trackers would also help with that problem.

Thanks! One of the keys for me is there are no screws with pure sheer loads, unless it uses a joist hanger.
