Did he use AI to come up with that?

I noticed he had 25 'thumbs up'.

Sad, I think

Not directly related to the above but the memory came back recently:

I was in Lowes two weeks ago and picked up a few pressure treated 2x4s, and it brought back memories of an event about 6 or 7 years ago - I needed reasonably straight and not twisted 2x4s. There was a guy in front of me who looked over his 2x4s before choosing his. After he got his, then I proceeded to do the same. There was a young home owner there needing a few and he watched me as I looked over those that I chose, and I got my 8 or 10. As I am getting ready to push my cart away with my few, he started looking down the 2x4s as I did; Then he called me and asked "Can you tell me what we are looking for?"

I had to hold my laugh back, but I took the time to show him what to look for in choosing 2x4s.

Dang amateurs, As ususal they are using the wrong tool to do the job wrong. You just don’t us a pair of side cutters to clip the tie wraps, you use a pair of lineman pliers to grip the tie wrap tail and tighten the tie wrap, then clip off the tail! How do I know? I have been using tie wraps to construct temporary shades, deer fences and bird tents in my vegetable garden.

I have production ty wrap tools the pull the loose end tight and then cut flush at b the ratchet nut. That's the right tool for ty wraps but not a woodworking tool

Side cutters will create a nice knife edge at an angle with a length that doesn't bend, lurking in place awaiting some soft tissue to slice up. I've lost a lot of blood over the years while working on yachts. Wiring is usually bundled and secured with wire ties on yachts. If folks can't use the proper tool as Loren mentions, they should at least use flush cutters.
