Actually have to disagree with you on this one, @hunt.nora. That extra quarter inch in the dado gives the shelf a lot more to grab onto, which matters over time. Plywood can sag or shift, especially with heavy books or gear. The deeper cut makes a much stronger joint that just lasts longer. It's not really wasted material if it stops a shelf from failing down the road. A half-inch just feels a bit too shallow for the long haul.

Yeah the south shore is rough with all the new development. What about the east side near the old marina, is that still okay for stargazing? I tried going last fall and the skyglow from the new solar farm was pretty bad. Wondering if it's gotten worse or if there's a specific spot that's still dark enough to see the Milky Way.

Wait, weapons under the farms? That's messed up.

Ugh, that exact thing happened to my niece. She fell for a "free V-Bucks" link on a Fortnite stream. It looked so real, like the actual Epic Games page. She put in her uncle's login and they cleaned out his whole account, even traded away his rare skins. Took him a week of tickets to get it back. Kids just don't get that real companies never ask for your password in a chat.

Who even cares" is a bit much, it does matter sometimes.
