Probably because if we admit that it’s a necessity of the modern age like power and water, it would basically need to be metered like a utility, and there goes all the profits with flat rate “up to” speed pricing that most people don’t even remotely use.
I recall the insistence on push blocks back in hs; the teacher was missing 2 fingers so that’s totally imprinted on me.. that and safety glasses.
But I will absolutely look into shielding and safety tutorials because I am (very, rightly) afraid of losing parts or functions for stupid reasons.
I have a few things I need to do, but they aren’t so much making things as repairing my house (very old and crappy, got cheap years ago, many regrets) which is why I want to get used to using them.
I do have a feeder hanger I want to make, a chicken coop (built in to the garage with a run outside), and a grapeline, I suppose I could use muh tools with scrap (there’s a weird amount of old 4x4s in the garage attic from before me) for most of that. Thanks for the advice!
Thank you for this. I’m sure replacement parts for some of it are still around, and I know they take standard modern blades, so that’s a good start. I have to assume there should be some sort of identification label somewhere on any power tool, right? Especially older ones built more to last? Cuz I’m not even sure what tools I have, or what sizes they take/need.
I suppose I sort of used that strategy to learn to use the embroidery sewing machine I inherited as well. It’s way overkill for basic repairs, but you have to know how to use it to use it for the basics, so that makes sense. I tried to skip from “how to thread the machine” to pick a stitch and fix a thing, and I had a bad time because I didn’t know what I needed to know. And I probably want to avoid that kind of mistake this time. Higher stakes and all.
I’d get rid of the daily headaches that started around 12, all the random aches and pains I’ve had since my early 20s, and give myself better dental/oral genes so I didn’t end up with a cavity every damned year.
But the thing is those are changes I’d make with CRISPR, too, if we knew enough about genes to actually implement them. I’d do it in a heartbeat.
The aesthetics aren’t that important, tho I wouldn’t mind having thicker hair. My mom got a nose job and told me I have her old nose, and even that I’d keep.
I’d keep my adhd/autism/personality/appearance stuff, just want the rogue pain/deterioration genes fixed.
Isn’t that a big part of how movies/ac became popular in the first place?
History really is cyclical

This is one of those awesome things that you’ll find in every size but the one you need. So you buy a size up and hope to find a use for it someday. But alas, you never do, and there it sits indefinitely, occasionally catching your interest and making you go “aww that was neat.. shame it didn’t fit”, until you die and it ends up at a thrift shop.
I just finished the Lego Harry Potter games.. kinda old, but with the next horizon game being a Lego game I figured I should give them a fair shake. I love horizon, and I want to like the next incarnation.
TBH I’m not really a fan of the Lego games. They are ok, but I don’t really like the format of rush to the end to unlock what you need to then go back through and collect all the things you can’t collect the first go around.
Next on the list is the Lego movie games, there’s actual dialogue and some of the mechanics seem like what they would use for aloy.. so probably a good next step.
I’ve also got marvel, city undercover, worlds, and some real old Star Wars Wii games. The Harry Potter ones are the first I’ve managed to finish.
Full of spiders, if doctor who is anything to go by, which it ofc is.
As soon as the land transfer goes through, freeing my tiny town lot from the easement preventing me doing anything with it, I’m planting a pair of apple and a pair of plum trees, and maybe a pear if there’s space. Free food for me, free food for critters, trees to shade the lot, carbon soak. Win all around!
There’s also a matter of size. Babies come in pretty standard sizes overall (ranging from tiny preemie to tiny newborn to toddler, and then a bit of extra market for in-between ages), but adults..
What works for one country does not work for another. I, for example, cannot buy underpants made for the Chinese market (I’ve tried) because the dimensions are just wrong. Even when scaled, they don’t fit right. The body proportions are just different for adults from different places, and that’s ok, but it does make the adult diaper scene similarly localized.
After all, you can make a one-size adult diaper, hospitals use them, but they have strong limitations for how hideable they are (most adult diaper products are marketed to women who suffer far greater rates of incontinence due to childbirth, so hideability is important).
Does that one at least tell you what’s missing? Like the first Harry Potter I had to look up the red sparkles, to find out that you need a specific character type to use that. The second game had that as a tip when you got close so it’s at least clear about what you need.
The marvel version I have is ps3, is that what you are playing?
