Studied computers since I was 11, worked IT for 6 months when I turned 19. Now I hate technology and do exclusively handtool woodwork now.

Why so rusty?

Nice

sooooooo this

You’d understand if you had one

Hand tool woodworking. It’s amazing what you can make without a single electron. Its also amazing to feel the tools, the resistance and subtle vibrations as you use them. Like an extension of your own body. I love chiseling, especially large mortises. Hearing that sharp, deep thud, and seeing it sink in as it bites into the wood is so satisfying. Especially when using metal hammers, they are so responsive.

I love sawing, especially when relaxed and working at a slow pace, seeing all the sawdust fly out with each stroke. Sawing isn’t fun when working on difficult pieces of wood, when working in a relaxed manner with softwood, the hoarse sounds of the saw starts to sound like purring and it begins to cut exceptionally well.

I love the finish of handplanes, so smooth it becomes water resistant.

Overall very spiritual and relaxing (as relaxing as you allow it to be at least)

Also knives and woodworking. Blades are what made the great Japanese temples. Lots of sharp steel and a dream. It is amazing what Japanese blacksmiths can do with steel, and the excellent performance they can achieve with them.

What is AnSynd?

What have you bought to make it to 1k items? How do they all fit in your home?

God its so useless

Its also the most foul state, literally. Maryland is voted the smelliest state, and I agree. Its almost always very warm and humid so everything is constantly rancid and it smells like mold and rot. Even drinking the tap water will give you a whiff of mold.

I love scooter

Sometimes I’ve noticed Google’s AI overview is a nearly word for word copy of the highest reddit result, or any result.

I’m not sure how and I’m not sure why but scooter is unequivocally the perfect title to resemble your cat. Not that he looks like or even reminds me of a scooter but that whenever I see him, it rings in my ears more ferociously than tinnitus ever could, … “scooter”.

Scooter is one of the first cats I began identifying on lemmy because of the sheer perfection of his name in correspondence to physical presence. I would not believe you if you said you thought of any other names, because no other name could be appropriate for him, aside from scooter.

Its against YouTube’s TOS to download content, and to block advertisements. Another lesser known, and less enforced part of the TOS also covers content instructing how to download content and block ads. I’m pretty sure that’s the reason YouTube took it down at least.

On another note, huge props to Linus for teaching how to block ads on channel and company, with a hundred mouths to feed, majorly funded by advertisments. I know he caught a lot of shit before with gamer nexus, but they deserve props for this.

I feel like the moral of this post should be less of UPS incompetence but rather the vulnerabilities of our homes. Imagine If this happened to the elderly or disabled, and nobody was there to open it. Some will go to wild lengths to avoid calling for help or 911.

Is it not ugly? √ X

I swear to god why are indie coffee brands so fucking edgy. Every coffee aisle has like 12 of these " murder kill die rats ass mega death disease bringer shit fucker" coffee brands.

I saw one of these at a Japanese tool event and omg they are adorable. They are sooooo tiny but incredibly versatile. Need to move this random thing like 20 feet ? Pop it on the low bed and drive over in no time flat. Need to cram it into some tiny place at the worksite? This thing can comfortably park gosh dang anywhere. Wanna look like a cool mother fucker? Pull in with your tiny adorable keitruck and pick up a load with a couple chicks. Instant pussymobile.
