Yes, but line go up fast enough?

I mean, half of my hammers have had their handles remade with whatever hardwood was closest. So I’m gonna go with those.

However, the most complex thing that I can repair with sourced parts would be either my truck, or my truck. I’ve had to fix it with “close enough” parts before, and I will fix it until the frame rusts (which given Northern states and salted roads probably won’t be more than a few more years)

There’s a smattering of electronics that I’ve seen mentioned multiple times as well.

One thing that is theoretically repairable, but is hard to find parts for, my washing machine. It’s a old 50s model with a lever to engage the motor, a roller on top to squeeze water out, and a simple steel gear system to drive everything. I should be able to open it up with a crescent wrench and flat head screwdriver, but I doubt I will ever be able to find ready-made parts (I have looked briefly when I thought I had a problem with it that sorted itself) but I might be able to bodge some things together if needed.

I mean, you’re wrong about the intro, but ENT still gets a HELL YEAH from me.

(the intro is a jam, but it’s so out of place for me I can’t enjoy it while binging, I usually listen to it in the car a few times while watching the show)

Damn, I need this on one of my shirts. Unfortunately the only local place I knew of that did screen printing closed down and I’m not ordering from a website…

As someone who tries to eat less meat in general because climate change and cows are basically giant grass eating slightly smellier dogs, I cannot take anyone who unironically uses “carnist” and “bloodmouth” seriously from that point on.

The more names you use to describe “person who eats meat” that you think are insulting and derogatory, the more people roll their eyes and move on with their planned meal.

“Our Glorious Eastern Soldiers”

“Their heathen rapist genocidal evil brutish westoids”

The message is good, the title is needlessly inflammatory, as if ANY major country has clean hands.

Reading comprehension is clearly low in this thread.

I do, but apparently pointing it out gets me down votes.

Yes, but whenever someone hints that an “eastern” country might not be the best, whataboutisms fly out everyone’s collective asses.

If it’s okay to criticize one way, it should be okay to criticize (when appropriately applicable) the opposing way.

Smeagol/Gollum wasn’t quite a hobbit, according to Tolkien.

So either way, no evil hobbits.

Even Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.

Flour + water = hardtack

clack clack

:D

“God told me to do it.”

The first time I heard that as a teenager, I made sure nobody ever felt comfortable saying it around me again.

Some mild stripping, knocked over glassware, and “speaking in tongues” later, sorry god made me do it.

“THIS IS THE FUTURE UNDER SOCIALISM!!!”

literally a picture of the current world under capitalism, usually in the same country or one of similar quality of living

On one hand, I have a coworker who clearly angrily scraped his trump stickers off the tailgate, and on the other, I have a coworker who straight up held a nazi salute with an audible “heil” when he started talking about his favorite band, Rammstein.

Now I don’t know anything about Rammstein and their political views in general, but I’ve known a few Germans in my time and they all held very strong (negative) views on the nazi regime.

Most coworkers have stopped talking about politics and such in general during breaks though.

I propose taking that 1k, measuring against the average income of anyone who makes under 1M, and use that percentage of cost of living to fine the company appropriately.

Example: 1k fine for someone who makes 10k/yr, that 1k is 10% of their yearly income, whereas a company that makes 10,000,000,000/yr, that’s only 0.0001%

When it’s time for money: COMPANIES ARE PEOPLE TOO!

When it’s time for punishment: but you can’t hold a company responsible, it’s not just one person.

Turns out “market forces” was just the heavy metal poisoning talking, they were just hallucinating magical economics.

Lead in gasoline and household products really fucked with some generations, hard.

You’re still more patient Than I.

It’s great that they’re rational enough to change their views in the face of evidence, even if it takes more evidence than it usual.

bit my tongue to not torpedo our relationship

I’m so glad my wife is basically no contact with her parents, because I never have to play nice with them.

SNAKE?!
