Wife bought me a homemade table saw years ago. The thing probably had a higher body count than most 3rd world armies. She was so proud of buying it. I was agast. My father-in-law was there when she brought it home. He whispered in my ear. "If you ever use that thing, I'm cutting you out of the will".

>>I can't imagine how it's going to work on a 4Runner.
I was hoping they would at least throw the Twin Turbo V6 from the Tundra into this iteration before the went to the hybrid platform.
4Runner's are supposed to bullet proof, million mile engines and the inherent problem with any battery based power train is that at some point, usually around 100k miles or just right after your warranty runs out, you have to replace the very expensive battery pack.
Plus hybrid power trains bring increased complexity and areas where things will break.
The bulletproof 4Runner is not going to be so bulletproof any longer.

Nope.
They're incredibly fast. The blade is yanked back under the table and braked by being slammed into a metal catching honeycomb.
They test them just by swinging a hot dog into it. Usually doesn't even break the skin.

Woodcraft store chain is a dealer if you want one as are some of your better woodworking supply stores (not big boxes).
I've used all sorts of saws over the years and still have all my fingers. Just never rush, go slow, and use all the safety equipment like goggles, gloves, etc. and quit before you get tired or distracted.
You also use the right tool for the right job and don't honky hitch trying to do something that table saws are not good at doing. Also use the accessories necessary if you are trying to do a task that a bog standard table saw accessories don't do well. A really skilled person like AOP can use mundane tools to do extraordinary things but most of DIY types aren't that experienced and never learned basics in formal shop classes.
That is in part why radial saws disappeared from the market except for specialized tasks.

REP. NADLER: "Our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren't being picked by many immigrants, many illegal immigrants. The fact is that the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level. Which means, our population is going to start shrinking."

hahaha, also:
These migrant workers? The ones that are now eligible for overtime in Washington and want it gone because it cut their hours so badly?
"It was hard work and good money. Schreiber says workers could take home $1,400 a week.
"That was their best money for the whole year," he says. The earnings help sustain families through the winter when work dries up. But now, with workers capped at 48 hours a week, no one is even reaching $1,000."

Documentary on tigers in India, there's one that had been identified as a "maneater." Supposedly killed four people over the years, although the latest one, the evidence was flimsy that it was THIS tiger that killed him.
They did eventually relocate the tiger, but to a small, tight zoo type setting, where he was struggling to survive.
One of his confirmed kills? A young man who went over the wall, because when it's time to shit, these guys prefer to have a little privacy, I guess. They don't have indoor plumbing, of course. It wasn't as private a shit as he expected.

you should see what our local Amish use for cutting up firewood ... think a bare 18 - 24" blade on an arbor, belt-driven by a gas engine, maybe some kind of minimalist table-ish support ...
I myself worked in a model shop in the mid-70s where I was the only person who had all 10 fingers in their original state ...
still true! I bless the memory of a guy running an old LeBlond turret lathe who told me & showed me about wearing loose "safety cuff" gloves when working around rotating machinery ... you should be able to whip your hand and have the glove come away free; if something tries to grab your hand, it gets the glove, not you.
a few years later (while doing a lot of welding) I learned to keep a bit of oil on those gloves; the smoke from the oil warns you to flip the glove off (& drop whatever you picked up / touched) before the heat gets all the way through and gives you a burn.
words to the wise!

It is pretty awesome to see an example (SawStop reps come around to demonstrate every now and then at places like Woodcraft stores). But, I don't have one and have used table saws for years mainly for ripping. I have a radial and chop saws for cross cutting.
My closest call was ripping a thin piece off a bigger board and the pawl sets did not work properly to prevent the saw from throwing the workpiece back. Bought some new pawl surfaces right after.
I was uninjured because I am never directly behind the board when I rip them. Instead, I am standing at an angle instead of directly behind when using the fence for ripping.

True, especially the big commercial ones. If I have time, I actually prefer to use hand planes as you can sneak up on an exact fit for a joint better than using a power tool.

I once read an article, maybe the Atlantic back when, that went into great detail about the development of airbags and why they were so dangerous.
I do think (maybe I'm wrong) that they have gotten better and maybe to the point where they are a good thing on average, but it was eye opening to read about the problems and how they got implemented anyway.

From what I remember back in the airbag debate, despite being a pioneer in air bag tech including selling a few as options, GM was somewhat reluctant to promote them instead of safety belts. That was because they knew that a certain percentage of people would be killed by airbags but not with safety belts. GM could not be sued for people not wearing safety belts but could be sued over injuries or deaths with airbags.

The Saw Stop is expensive but it is housed in a great table saw by itself. A well appointed professional Saw Stop setup will cost you 3K$. A well appointed professional table saw without the technology ranges from 1.5-2K$.
Therefore the safety feature probably adds 1-1.5K$. Now think about how much an accident would cost a woodshop owner for a hospital alone yet alone worker comp.

>> USA using sub-launched Tomahawks on Yemen. Hope the targets cost more than the missiles do.
World Bank does not even list the GDP of Yemin, so the collected costs of just those Tomahawks, exceeds Yemen's GDP by some non trivial factor.
Or alternatively....

Dunno if you are trolling but generally circular saw refer to the portable ones used mostly for rough carpentry. Table saws produce more accurate cuts adequate for finishwork in a house or furniture projects. There are some portable work site table saws that are primarily there to do repeated cuts and sometimes certain tasks require more accurate cuts.
An expert can wield a table saw and get about the same cut accuracy as a portable table saw but most of us are not that good.

BREAKING: The US and the UK are preparing strikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels who have been attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea. — The US is expected to lead the military response against the Houthis. - FT
====
The leader of Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels threatened on Thursday the United States and Britain with even larger attacks in the Red Sea after their navies intercepted a major one.
US and British forces shot down 18 drones and three missiles launched by the Huthis late Tuesday in what London described as their biggest attack so far in solidarity with Palestinians in Hamas-ruled Gaza.
“Any American aggression will never go without a response,” rebel leader Abdulmalik al-Huthi said in speech broadcast live by the Huthis’ Al-Masirah television.
“The response to any American attack will not only be at the level of the operation that was recently carried out… but it will be greater than that.”

"A recent study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that new frontal air bags designed to meet the latest federal standards have not improved occupant protection and may have actually reduced protection for belted drivers compared with earlier-generation air bags."
but this part is my favorite:
"The results may also draw into question, if manufacturers' designs are adequately meeting the requirements of the test, whether it's possible that the need to protect unbelted occupants compromises the air bags' performance for belted drivers or that it's possible that some cars were designed to meet the test rather than to create a positive benefit for all occupants.
