Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the much-beloved anime, One Piece, is a colossal victory for both anime fans and newcomers to the franchise. Packed with real set pieces and jaw-dropping practical effects, it’s a game-changer in the often troubled waters of live-action anime adaptations. Yet, the maiden voyage was not without its navigational tweaks. One such course adjustment that caught the attention of long-standing fans was the decision to skip the Loguetown story arc, a short but cherished chapter from the original series.

We don’t expect to change your mind if you use those tools as second hands. But if you’re a remodeler who does only occasional skim-coating to fix wrecked walls, you know it’s a tough skill to master.

In the exciting world of One Piece, where thrilling adventures unfold amidst pirates, treasures, and far-flung maritime journeys, the ships traverse the turbulent waters of the Grand Line, and the New World plays a pivotal role. These seafaring vessels don’t just ferry characters across vast oceans. They mirror their captains’ and crews’ individualistic styles, extraordinary abilities, and dreams. From the Straw Hat Pirates’ treasured Thousand Sunny to the legendary Moby Dick helmed by Whitebeard, these ships possess their own character.

Minivans are typically the most depressing category of cars. Nothing says “we’ve settled” like one. They’ve been boxy and uninspiring on the outside, and — at least until recently — would drive horribly, feeling like barges on a rough sea when plying through any turn. The thing is, they’ve quietly gotten significantly better in every way, and they’re still so very good at what they do — hauling your family and all your stuff (so much stuff) comfortably and safely.

How Soil ‘Pushes’ (and How to Build a Retaining Wall that Pushes Back) When contemplating how to build a retaining wall, you may imagine how firm and solid it’ll appear from the front, or how great the new garden will look above it. But unless you give serious thought to what goes on behind and below the wall, the retaining wall design may not look good for long.

Olivia Rodrigo's team has been accused of taking inspiration — perhaps a little too much inspiration, if you catch our drift — from an independent rock band's visuals.

Honey, who is also a musician, originally posted a video of the theory on TikTok, but it was apparently taken down.

Even though the Home Alone movies are often associated with the holiday season, that doesn’t mean that everyone who watches them feels good and happy. In the first Home Alone movie, which came out in December 1990, Macaulay Culkin played the cute rascal, Kevin McCallister. This made people all over the world happy. In the Christmas movie, Kevin, who is only eight years old, uses his toybox and smarts to stop two thieves from breaking into his house after his family leaves him home alone.

Some woodworking tools, like saws and sanders, are found in virtually every woodworking shop. Other, like wood jointers, are less common. No other tool does the task a jointer does, but not everyone needs it — at least not to the degree of precision a jointer makes possible. Store-bought lumber already has flat faces and edges, and for a beginning woodworker they’re flat enough for most purposes. Cabinetmakers constructing high-quality dressers and tabletops, however, need smoother, flatter, straighter edges than those on factory-milled wood, and for them, a jointer is essential.
