I love Casper

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.

Sorry for taking so long to respond its just hard to imagine the great scooter being gone 😭

You did what was best for him.

How to run away from an abusive home.

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

This is horrifying

I can’t believe I missed this!!! Bitty adventure !!! Unfortunately Pinto has been growing older, and has having trouble outside. He’s turning 10, and my sister made the tough decision to keep him as an indoor only cat. Many times over the years we have tried to train him with the harness, but he outright hates it.

Hes been adapting well. My sister has bought a lot of bird feeders that attach to the windows to turn them into “cat tvs”, and he loves watching them. She will also open the window (it has a screen) and pinto loves to smell the outside, especially after it has rained.

Awww thats so sad. I loved scooter. For some reason his face reminded me of my old boss. He is the perfect mix of cute, silly and slinky. He has great blue eyes. How long did you have him?

Realistically the military will eventually clear everything, I just have to survive the weeks it would probably take.

Id buy a bunch of shelf stable food, a wood burner, bunch of lumber for barricading, nails, portable batteries for keeping out phones charged, a big battery for the router (even when thr power is down, internet isnt), guns. A bunch of bottled water too. A bunch of hand sanitizer too to clean out hands constantly if needed

I think thats all I’d need to sit this out. I think the hardest part would be convincing family that theres gonna be a zombie Apocalypse

Me too, but it doesn’t seem like he wants to cuddle anytime soon

Pinto says your welcome!

I think something like L brackets could work. They are pretty cheap, like $10 for 20x. Something around an inch or two long.

Screw these onto any loose corners, and repeat on the opossite side. Hopefully screws will work on cardboard

The differences between dents and craters is that dents merely compress the wood, without damaging the fibers, while craters break and destroy fibers. Dents can be repairing by expanding the wood, but craters aren’t fixable.

You have to remove the varnish by sanding first, then try to iron the floor. There may be poor contact in the middle so try ironing the other edges.

Other than that, you are gonna have to get new boards installed.

Hmmm, if you’re deadset on keeping the tree you might need to get a professional. Cardboard construction is out of my scope LOL. I was gonna make mine out of 4x4s and plywood.

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.

I dont understand why people are so offended by my comment. Why blame a whole demographic by something committed by 0.02% of them? Why are so people so intent on such blame? It accomplishes less than nothing, it just antagonizes the group you are attempting to reach.

Hmm I’m not sure how to fix it then. I bet it would stiffen up a lot if it was screwed to the wall, even with just drywall anchors

You are 10x more likely to die by falling, car crash or unintentionally poisoned than get murdered.

You are 20x more likely to die by falling, car crash, or unintentionally poisoned than get murdered, as a woman.

Women are actually much less likely to get murdered in general.

Stop villainizing men. This is equally as idiotic as villainizing POC because they have higher crime rates Dont sink to the level of the GOP by generalizing. The unfair alienation of young men is real, and ultimately cost us the election, just so we can feel better than them.

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.

Where scooter?
