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.

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.

The only infinite growth I could think of is just bitcoin and shit. Just dilute gambling.

We are reaching the limits of an “infinite growth” mindset. You can’t make money infinitely, which is why we are witness unprecedented amounts of shrinkflation, price gouging, and of course, enshitification. And housing prices.

This is something thats actually scary. Phones are so necessary now that when it breaks you could be digitially stranded, unable to log in to anything

Its fucking annoying that I need my phone surgically attached to me at all times, to do fucking anything on the internet, especially anything important.

This combined with constant logging out is driving me nuts, I truly only have one device that can actually log into everything, all my other devices are logged out so frequently theyre unusable.

I make a lot of scrap soup. Any random ingredients, like cans of veggies, food scraps I’ve been saving for stock, any other ingredients in the fridge about to go back, and any ingredients I want to get rid off, I throw in the scrap soup.

I usually like to make a cheese base, since it goes well with damn near everything. Cheese base doesn’t freeze well though.

Veggie Mac and cheese is good, lasagna is good and freezes well, I also cook a lot of noodles and stir fry’s.

You can your own frozen junkfood like frozen pizzas to toss in then oven when you feel like it, and stuff like that. You dont even have to complete it, just assemble it, and when your hungry take it out of the freezer and chuck it into the oven, like lasagna, and casseroles.

Instant pot is great for fast meals too. Its also incredible for stock. If you want to upgrade your knife skills you can buy bone-in cuts or whole birds to use all of the bones and scraps for stock. Basically all food waste goes through the stock pot first before being tossed

Look through their post history lol

How could you possibly apologize for charging $12 A MONTH for wallpapers!?

Get a bunch of groceries delivered and cook a bunch of food. Freeze a lot of it for later to save yourself time cooking

It’d be fucking awesome if there was a coop, milsim/realism scp game, just like GTFO. Something that let’s you play as a 9 tail fox squad.

It’d be so cool being dropped into a level, identifying the threats and SCPs, then also having to juggle them whilst engaging active threats.

Itd also be great to find SCP objects that you could interact with or use to your advantage during the level. Maybe even equipable.

Chumbawumba

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

I’d be too worried about the CCP backsliding, but if it theoritycally collapsed, and the ROC swooped in to take its place, then yeah I’d be fine with it. Better than Trump’s america

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.

Wayyyy ahead of you pal. Got into tech when I was a wee little lad, my dad would bring home computers from the work dumpster, hand me a screw driver and let me go at it.

When I was 11 I built a computer with my dad, and continued learning about tech and computers. I worked after school in middle school to help out the librarian, who had the job of looking after the laptops and computer carts.

Went into highschool and got into a Comptia± honors class, as the only freshman and the only person to get As in that class.

Fresh after highschool and 6 months into a computer job, I quit at the age of 19. Instead I went to pursue woodworking.

I had a great boss, and I was great at my job, but I was in computer repair. A dying industry and I was getting paid minimum wage, despite a lot of skill (microsoldering, logic board rework, macbook repair, liquid damage repair, etc).

Skill and knowledge that I studied for a decade, and I was being paid minimum wage. There were probably better opportunities but I wasn’t interested anymore. The environment was just far too corporate, so I decided to start building my own business, woodworking, selling tools, and help teach.

Ive gone to tool events, tuned up a lot of tools, and given presentations and its 10x more fulfilling. Havent made a lot from the “business” but I’m happy.
