Karen also enjoys long walks around trailhead parking lots while taking photographs to later post on social media and shame people for going for a walk in the woods.

Is there a thread for “next door” laughs?
I have an account, but it’s not mine.
Some asshat named Zander signed up with my email. So I logged in with a post entitled “l’m an Asshat”. And hilarity ensued as I engaged Karen and her neighbors in asshattery
Every now and then I see the inane threads in my spam folder. Uggh. . .

not a TGR meme. In the last few years, there have been a spate of incidents (caught on cell phone video) where a white woman called the cops because some black folks were doing something scary. There was one in Oakland, where some folks were having a bbq at a park (and actually had a permit) and some woman called the cops. Anyhow, I think in one of these publicized incidents, the woman was named Karen (because the internet always finds out the names)? And the name "Karen" stuck (as an internet meme) for nosy people sticking themselves into their neighbor's business, entitled people who think the world revolves around them. At least that's my recollection of how it started. In any case, these days, any entitled suburban white mom who asks to speak to the manager is called Karen.

Buddy of mine was working as an emt/tech in the ED when a mangled road rider who was hit by a car came in via ambulance. He didn't realize it was his dad until he went to pull off the wedding ring. He didn't survive. Friend went on to become an ED doc.
Road riding scares the shit out of me.

Shhhiiiiiiiittt, that's a rough way to get your calling in life...
Back to the topic at hand, overly engineered security features annoy me. FIL gave me a table saw he was demoing for a company owned by an acquaintance of his. The thing is wired in such a way that if the blade senses flesh (impedance change) it drops under the table into a massive brake (see a cool vid of the process here). Ruins the blade, usually fries the motor, but your fingers stay attached. I hope they tuned the detection system better in the production model because it's a bit too touchy: yesterday I was cutting a 2x4 and the blade hit a staple at the very end, no doubt the only one I forgot to remove. The blade dropped (it shouldn't have), it jostled the whole table saw HARD and ejected the guide straight into my face.
So, my fingers were never at risk, I almost got knocked out, I have a deep gash in my eyebrow which is swollen to the size of a small egg, the motor of the saw is fried, and I owe my FIL a new blade since he wanted his back. Safety first!

There's an electronic bypass on the production models that allows for metal cutting. These table saws are supposed to be able to cut through the occasional nail or staple without incident, the blades don't give a shit and go through metal like butter. I think on the pre-production model I have the bypass doesn't exist and it treats metal the way it treats flesh which in this case was not particularly desirable.
I always remove the stapled price labels on the end of lumber, I'll be even more careful now!

Holy shit you guys weren't kidding about nextdoor - I checked it out, it's worse than facebook. Deleted my account and feel like an idiot for giving them my details in the first place.

I don't own one, but someone I work with was showing us how these saws work. He instructs a composite design class and they need to cut the materials with a table saw. Apparently someone cut something with metal that caused the blade to drop, but I don't recall the specifics. I figured you just couldn't cut metal at all with these.

I saw a demo of that saw once.
It’s not just the blade. I think there’s a magnesium piece it slams into that also has to be replaced.. . .

We have a sawstop at the Truckee Roundhouse. It's been triggered about 5 times, mostly legit saving someone's fingers. A couple trying to saw wet wood or wood with glue that hasn't dried. Anything that can conduct electricity can trigger them. If you think your wood is too wet you can test it by touching it to the blade with the blade not turning--if the red light flashes you have to bypass the brake. That won't help for one staple. They have been known to trigger when they shouldn't. You send the brake bake to the company and they can interrogate it and if they confirm it was a wrong trigger they'll send you a new brake (your blade is still fucked though.) They are a very nicely designed saw with a lot of cool features and about the only tool in the shop the Jerrys haven't been able to fuck up. If I ever replace my 35 year old Rockwell contractor's saw I'll probably get a sawstop, despite the brake. One hassle--if you want to use a dado set or paired blades to cut tenons you have to change the brake to a wider one.

Shit that annoys you
I had to take off my mask (after showing ID) to buy a fucking six pack at the grocery store. Yeah, like I'm spending $100 on groceries wearing a mask and I'm gonna try and sneak a 6er. Sometimes Utah can fucking blow me.
Cashier wasn't even wearing one, either.

That is so UT... The end of the world is upon us but that doesn't change the fact that Jeebus frowns upon your booze consumption. His apostles think you're a degenerate and will gleefully enforce any restriction on your ability to imbibe.
On the mask side of things, I still have to see 1 shop employee wear one around SLC. Grocery store, home improvement, you name it, employees are running around without them. Kinda odd considering about 2/5 people I see in stores have been wearing masks lately.
Ms Boissal gave me an N95 last week, it failed the fit test and they told her they wouldn't reuse it for anyone else on her service so she brought it home. Wore it for a Home Depot trip Sunday and some fat fucking Karen in line behind me loudly told her husband that she really hoped I was a doctor otherwise I had no right to wear one. I considered using the 10" saw blade I was buying to make a point (across her throat) but lady clearly had enough issues as is. Half of the people wearing masks have N95 for fuck's sake, do I need to wear scrubs just to look the part?

People wearing hospital issued scrubs outside of work. It’s never been ok. Especially now.
Sooo gross.

Home Depot at 6am and almost every employee had a mask on at 2100 south. Wastach Cold Beer store had the cashier with a mask, and plexiglass in front of him. Same with DBAC 2 weeks ago, plexi and everything. Walmart has maybe 20 percent of people with masks saturday at 7am when they opened. We must go to different stores.
