Technically lumber isn't sentient so it is not capable of suffering from mental illness of any kind.
I have seen video that shows you are wrong. Here is a screenshot:

So if trees are sentient than isn't skinning them alive and chopping them into pieces to build things a horrific act?

You can't have both...

That is why some get grumpy and throw apples.

Just be cause they have feelings doesn’t mean I care about them.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Horrific is a relative term.

OK, that kinda went off the rails. Not disappointed though!

I don't want to do a slide in for a Ranger, but I have thought about doing one for my F-100 in the future. As such if you do this, I'm interested in seeing what you do. If I do it, I'll probably reference something like the old GlenL plans and use modern materials for the structure with a vintage skin material that matches the 60s/70s styling of the F-100. Still have the aerodynamics of a brick which the truck would suffer from anyway, but be lighter weight and handle better. Anything like that is a LONG way from happening though, in the mean time I'll stick to renting a room/cabin or pitching a tent.

Doesn't matter, who can turn away from a good train wreck.

All trains are "off the rails" because railroads do not exist.

Ya, lost me with that one. Is that supposed to be like one of those "there is no spoon" things?

I never said it was off the "railroad" I said it was off the rails. Trains do ride on rails. The rails and cross ties combine to create train tracks. So hopefully not all trains are off the rails.

FIFY.

Especially on TRS.
Fair enough!
