The point isn’t to get it thrown out. The point is to delay it until after Trump is elected and takes office.

Cool cool, but don’t we have more important things to do right now, like preserving democracy?
What the fuck are you smoking?
I’m sure he’ll do more crime.
Sorry to say this, but regardless of the validity of your claims, the way you present your story, like having everything in capital letters, kinda makes you sound a little like a conspiracy nut. You may want to work on your presentation a bit.
Overconfidence, and hubris.
No one who would do something like this drunk would be surprised that they did it once they sober up.
Thank you! That’s actually on my list to try next.
I’ve considered submerging the rings in thinned resin and pulling a vacuum on them, but haven’t tried it yet. I didn’t know if that would incorporate the resin enough throughout the wood to improve its strength. It’s definitely worth a try though. I may also try coating them in UV resin instead of CA glue to see what effect that has. There are some “nano” ceramic coatings used in the auto industry that could give them some extra scratch resistance too.
The major downside to the resin coatings would be significant wait times for curing, and a whole lot of messy cleanup. If it works well it could be worth it though.
I would be happy to make one for you for just the cost of shipping if you are willing to help me test the durability and other aspects.
DM me if you are interested.
Yep. The blue mica powder isn’t as sparkly as the green. The next blank I make with blue will need more blue powder and probably a dash of silver to bring out the same “crystal” effect that the green one has.
Right now I don’t know, but it’s something we should find out pretty quickly, as my fiance and I will be wearing them daily to test the durability.
Why would you require both central air and window units?
I started with 2 thin slices of wood, about the size of a post card. I used toothpicks as spacers at the corners and a dab of super glue to create a gap between the wood for the resin. I used tape around 3 sides, leaving one end open. I poured in the resin very slowly so there wouldn’t be any bubbles, and left it in the vacuum chamber, open end up, for about 15 minutes to pull all the air out and get a good bond between the wood and resin. After it cured and I cleaned up the blank I cut the rough shape on my CNC machine. After a quick sanding, a dunk in some Danish oil, and some time to dry they went on a ring mandrill in the drill press where I did the final shaping with sandpaper. I used super glue for the finish, more wet sanding up to 8000 grit and then 3M polishing compound.
Not counting all the curing and waiting, it took about 20 minutes per ring, and was a ton of fun.
My one concern is durability of the rings, as they end up very thin. My finance will be wearing them for a while to see how they hold up. Hopefully, since the resin is solid, it will hold the wood fibers together and prevent the ring from cracking.
Next, I want to try out carving shallow geometric patterns on the side of the wood pieces that go against the resin on the CNC before filling the blanks. I think that’ll make some interesting patterns when the ring gets cut out of the blank.
I made a blue variant also, but I think the green came out better.
They are perfectly free to do that. They just have to resubscribe from their new home country at the new rate. Just like with telephone service or cable tv. It’s not like they will get in trouble or would be prevented from moving.
It’s been 4 years. How’s that working out so far?
I don’t know what you want… In the video he basically does a bunch of experiments and shows that gas does not have the amazing benefits that people think it has.
It does NOT heat up faster. It does NOT have more even heat. etc…
It does, however, fill your room with all kinds of nasties really quickly, as he shows with air quality sensors.
That’s a lot of myths that are pretty easily debunked with only a minimal amount of research and effort. https://youtu.be/eUywI8YGy0Y?si=7wM-om8J6HGUg24O
