Refusing to reduce complex reality into slogans and clichés since 19XX

    Nobody can ever automate the creation of handmade things

    Jump

  • If a human made it, then it's handmade. Whether it's actually made by who is claimed to have made it is a separate question.

    I feel like only when you start involving things like 3D printing, laser cutting, or CNC milling does it enter that gray zone of whether it's made by a human or a machine.

  • Yes but that's a different activity.

  • Many Canadians have avoided the U.S. for over a year. Have we reached the point of no return? | CBC News

  • The biggest damage to the US's reputation, in my mind as a not particularly anti-American Northern European, is that they've shown they can only be trusted for 4 years at a time. It's impossible to form a long-term relationship with someone like that, and I'm not much into short-term ones.

  • I launched my business website without analytics. Am I stupid?

    Jump

  • My entire business is pretty much run by feels. I often get asked why I don't do X, Y, and Z like everyone else, and the answer is usually that I didn't feel like it.

    Doesn't hurt the revenue - or maybe it does - I wouldn't know.

  • plastering as a rookie

    Jump

  • I recommend checking out Vancouver Carpenter on YouTube. Everything I know about plastering I've learned from that guy though it's perhaps a bit more focused on plastering over drywall seams.

  • I Can Replace this Rusted Post but ...

    Jump

  • Steel seems overkill here, I'd honestly just replace that with an NTR-A grade pressure-treated wooden post. Make sure to put the factory-cut end into the ground or treat it with some tar-like wood preservative. Don't use anything water-based as it won't absorb into the already wet lumber.

    On the top I'd just use angle brackets since those aren't bearing any load - they're just keeping it in place. On the bottom I'd bury a few concrete patio slabs into the ground and maybe use some kind of steel post feet to anchor it down.

  • Confession time...

    Jump

  • I like my mind and I wouldn't want to alter it with medication any more than I already do. I don't want to be normal whatever that means. I'm rather disliked for who I am than liked for who I'm not.

  • is it unethical to buy off brand but compatible batteries for power tools?

    Jump

  • It's more of a fire hazard than an ethical issue.

  • What’s on your bucket list?

    Jump

  • I live in southern Finland and we're just coming to that part of the year right now. Though it's not 24 hours of daylight exactly but rather a sunset that turns into a sunrise without night in between.

  • What’s on your bucket list?

    Jump

  • I need to start coming up with new things because I've pretty much achieved everything else already.

    Perhaps a second property with plenty of forest as my private playground.

    Edit: oh yeah, magic mushrooms

    Jump

  • Being well-informed doesn’t require immersing yourself in an endless stream of outrage, nor does stepping back from that mean you’re turning a blind eye to anything.

    There’s a difference between ignoring reality and choosing how and when to engage with it. Most of what passes for political content online isn’t a sober presentation of facts or ideas - it’s performance, manufactured outrage, and algorithm-driven noise. If someone wants to stay sane and focus on things they can actually influence in their immediate life, I don’t see that as sticking their head in the sand. I see it as setting healhy boundaries in an environment that’s often designed to provoke rather than inform.

    People aren’t morally obligated to be constantly exposed to negativity just to prove they care. In fact, thoughtful action tends to come from those who can step back from the noise and think clearly, not from those who are perpetually consumed by it.

    I used some reversed quick clamps to jack up my garage after wind messed it up again

  • Toilets: to caulk or not to caulk?

    Jump

  • Well even that's not untypical. The standard way to do this is to just have a 110mm sewer pipe sticking from the floor. You then cut it to a floor level and install the toilet on top of it. The difference is that in the US they use this "wax seal" which is a complete mystery for me. Here we just take an adapter that's pushed to the inside of the sewer pipe and then the toilet is lowered on top of that one. Water would need to climb uphill past the seals in order to leak.

    Thinking one is of above-average intelligence is highly frowned upon, despite there being a 50% chance of it being true.
