I think everyone has answered your question correctly so far. You can't beat plywood for strength, but it is expensive. There are middle ground alternatives.

There is Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) which is between the two on strength but takes paint brilliantly. Many cabinet makers use this exclusively for mid range quality furniture.

Even cheaper is chipboard which is about as bad, or worse than OSB but you can get it laminated. Most very cheap furniture from places like IKEA use it and it can do a reasonable job.

All of these materials have their quirks, mainly on how you finish end grain (even plywood). Both MDF and chipboard suck at taking a screw so you have to get special screws and use them carefully. Make sure you do some research, there's plenty of YouTube videos on using the products.

What's the speed of the road? I would personally join the road earlier so that I can manoeuvre across with the traffic, but if the road is super fast I'd probably pick A. That is unless right on red is permitted, then I'm not sure.

At least two terrible calls by the refs though. They decided the game.

 

I just watched the Boston game and just want to say how enjoyable the ending was. I honestly didn't think they had it in them.

I honestly think this is the worst use case for a 3d printer. The part isn't improved by printing. You can buy the part easily. The cost of modelling time and printing is more than the replacement. There's a decent chance the replacement part would have arrived quicker than the print took.... Sorry to be a bore, it's better than an octopus or another benchy, I'll give you that.

That car being driverless could have saved their life.

Not a bad way to look at it. Let's hope he lives up to the hype!

I'm always a pessimist when it comes to giving up picks. I know it's an exciting time for the team but I don't want a cup at all cost.

Nah, don't believe the hype.

At least it's not the worst streak... Yet.

The Bruins have a new kit.

I think they are a couple of pieces away from being a legit contender, but they are also a couple of injuries away from mediocrity (a la last season)

Canucks fans don't know where they are or what's going on.

 

Shakey start but pushing to three wins in a row.

 

See title.

 

Anyone want to hazard a guess at the score tonight? Nothing automated or recorded. I think 3-3 with an OT win for the Canucks.

 

Not a terrible start to the season.

 

Spoilers in the description

 

All the best to him.

 

Basically a popularity contest, Hughes at number 9.

 

I'm so happy with these guys. Sometimes it feels like hard work to keep on top of but it's worth it in the end.

 

XD
