I needed a portable bench that was a little better than two sawhorses, two 2x4 and a piece of plywood, found what I thought was the perfect one and in many ways it is, the problem is that it weighs a metric f***ton, and the term portable is tenuous at best as even Brian Shaw would say, bro is this some sort of World's Strongest Man apparatus?

New York has refused to honor 16,070 ICE detainers since President Donald Trump returned to office, releasing illegal aliens who have been accused or convicted of a combined 52,503 criminal charges, according to Department of Homeland Security data.
According to the information obtained by the New York Post, rejected detainers included people involved with 131 homicides, 132 kidnappings, 1,017 sexual offenses, 9,502 assaults, 1,776 robberies, 1,631 burglaries, 2,198 weapons infractions, 1,561 DUIs, and 4,324 drug-related counts.

ICE detainers are requests that local jails hold a suspected illegal immigrant for up to 48 hours so federal agents can take them into custody.

>>Worth every penny.

This is absolutely worth every penny, it just happens to be way too heavy to lug around to the rental when I have to do repairs.

Basically it's a tank and weighs more than my current setup of disparate pieces that I throw into the back of the pickup.

I'm torn if I'm going to return it.

Can you imagine the reduction in crime if New York simply honored detainers? And I don't mean "crime in Ohio..."--I mean crime in New York. These criminals are being released to literally commit more crime IN NEW YORK. Its amazing to me that any citizenry anywhere would put up with that level of combined arrogrance/incompetence.

John Buchan, aka Lord Tweedsmuir, was a neighbor to Lawrence back in England, and spoke well of him. One of the characters in his series of Richard Hannay novels was a tribute to him. I have an old copy of Buchan's memoirs, and it is a good read. As Lord Tweedsmuir, he became the last foreign-born Governor General of Canada, and was much respected here. He died in Canada in 1940, IIRC.

I just moved a portable bench today, in fact. Two foot by five foot scrap of plywood screwed to the ends of two empty oil drums with 4 1/4" Tek screws. Took 2 minutes to build it. Will hold several hundred pounds at a convenient working height. A total of seven pieces: three that any adult can easily carry by hand, and four that will fit in a pocket.

TX-SEN: Chair of Texas Democratic Party says 'we're full steam ahead' after Talarico's flu recovery

Kendall Scudder, the chair of the Texas Democratic Party, said Sunday he is confident in Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico’s campaign in the wake of his illness.

“We’re full steam ahead. And, of course, you’re going to see people in the swamps of the internet making up conspiracy theories. That’s what they always do,” Scudder told NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt on “The Hill Sunday.”

“But the fact of the matter is, people get sick sometimes when you’re diabetic,” he added, referencing Talarico’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis. “It takes you a little while to get recovered.”

Talarico recently made his first public appearance in slightly less than two weeks after his campaign said he was recuperating from the flu. He was spotted walking around Austin City Limits, an annual music festival in the Texas city.

85 I had an old door that I converted into a work bench.

Yup. They work great. Even a chintzy hollow-core door makes a decent bench for light work.

88 nurse, to say you will be missed is an understatement.

Then why not fix it?

It isn’t our site to fix. But 90% of the time, Brave stops this from happening. Other people have had good luck with different pop up / ad blockers. I still feel bad recommending these as it cuts Ace’s revenue, but so does lost readership. Hopefully there is an offset by hitting the tip jar as you are able.

Well, it would be nice if it were fixed, but fixing it could cost Ace a lot of money, which would be better spent making hobo jerky. As a reader, the "fix" is simply to never hit the "continue reading" link, and simply go straight to "comments", thereby avoiding the worst of the popups.

Right? I am so sad about this! But I do understand it.

95 I was eying this portable job that would have cut everything down to 1 piece, and it does, it also weighs more than George Washington.

The Black & Decker Workmate was a good idea, it's just a shame that they made them so sh*tty.

Besides, "Comments" is where you want to be anyway.

There are similar-concept better-executed versions out there.

They came in various grades, and the better ones were pretty sturdy. There were also some real el-cheapo knockoffs out there. The Workmate can be rigged as a decent shooting bench for out in the desert, too.
