Man mine was warping MONTHS after I got it home. This was especially brutal as a handtool woodworker with ADHD. Plane boards flat, get side tracked, come back and BOOM cupped to shit. Plane it flat again, and BOOM cupped again to shit. It took 6 months for it to finally stabilize, and by that point I have planed it flat literally 5 times.

At this point why dont people just fucking use greenwood instead of dimensional lumber, about equally as dry at least, and way cheaper.

Bitcoin has massive value as a tool to transfer money, anonymously, and through borders effortlessly. Its extremely valuable for money laundering, scamming, stealing, and dodging tariffs or raising money (see how much crypto is stolen by north Korea)

Rush my passport. Fell for it because it was being provided by fedex!!! I filled it out at one of their locations!!!

In the end it does absolutely nothing, and its stupid fucking expensive. Nearly lost $2000.

I’m no communist but I agree.

I like you a lot more than any conservative.

Start collecting spiders and place them near gnat hotspots.

Once had a fly problem with my plants, plopped a couple spiders there and they were gone in a week or two

Break a leg

How does telling someone to sustain serious injuries imply you want them to succeed?

Frequently when I’m making lists and I am reorganizing the order.

Or I’m wiritng a recipe and get the directions in the wrong order.

Sometimes I’m writing an article and I move sentences around to improve the flow of the article.

We still have our 2nd amendment right. Use it or lose it right?

Cause they aren’t, they are just the “better guys”.

Handtools in woodworking. There are some people who refuse use a tool without a cord.

Overtime, our kitchen knives. Knives need to be thin, as thinner knives cut through ingredients more easily. Today’s knives are designed instead to be marketed. Something incredibly thick, and sturdy, to make it feel “premium”, when all its doing is tiring you out, since using a heavy knife gets exhausting, especially when its so thick it wedges in ingredients.

Vintage European knives are slim, and almost petite, because they knew how to make a good knife, in the same manner japanese knives are ground extremely thin, sometimes thinner than a postcard.

How to run away from an abusive home.

I was already planning to run away from an abusive home.

This is horrifying

All handtools. I’m self taught and I work professionally (as in I do this for my living, but I still don’t think I’m very good). I use all Japanese tools and work on the floor. Working on small parts is hard and you need good workholding. Since the Japanese work on the floor, you can just use your foot. Otherwise a metalworking vice works great for small parts, and sometimes a drill press vice. I am super active in a discord server if you want an invite. Super beginner friendly.

Spend some time learning to fix everything. EVERYTHING. Knowing a little bit of plumbing, electronic repair, woodwork, carpentry, and cad can save you tremendous amounts of money. Contractors cost crazy amounts of Money, even for simple fixes.

Yoy dont even need to practice, just read up on it. Recently my sink started leaking, so I though I’d just mess with it. Fixed it with 30$ worth of parts. Dishwasher broke and I fixed it with a 70$ PSU.

Dont learn how to do oil changes though, most of the time it won’t save you any money. Autoshops save a lot of money with volume oil changes.

Woodworking is a hobby that can pay for itself, and yoy dont even have to sell anything. Wood is everywhere, and free. You have to wait months for it to dry but afterwards you can make anything.

Ive made spatulas, spoons, snack clips, furniture, tools, storage, cabinets, bookmarks, bowls, cutting boards, knife covers, drying racks, shelves, etc. It gives you a level of self sufficiency that can never be taken from you. It shouldn’t even be called woodworking, it should just be called “making shit”. It’s an extremely useful and valuable skill. Ive even used it to fix computers by making custom brackets and stuff, and a special heatsink mount for an old heatsink.

Look through their post history lol

Bold to assume leaders would ever suffer the consequences of their own policy.

Maybe add a “Lemmy mode” since Lenny uses symbols to mark italics, bold, etc, and causes a lot of emoticons to bug out

Like ¯_ (ツ) _/¯ when it should be ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

Yep. Same thing happened with me.

How fucking hard it is to remember daily and recurring tasks. Taking meds, brushing teeth, checking email, cleaning up, cooking, laundry, on top of stuff related to work.

Another one is that we are blind. Unless I expect to see it, I cannot see it. I literally dont see clutter. Only when I force myself to think about what I’m staring at do I realize there is a bunch of crap on a table. Its really easy for my room to get messy because of this. Because it hardly exists for me.
