I know both, but I still went with “Duke Nukem isn’t a game” as my first thought
8·17 days agoThe US isn’t bombing anyone, Israel is.
You should turn on the news
Meanwhile, Europe isn’t actually bombing anyone, the US is.
I’m working on an 8 heddle (the things that make the string go up and down, it determines how complex your pattern can be), 80cm wide loom. They’re about 1200 euros to buy, and I really really want one.
It’s not really working well, tolerances are pretty tight, but I’m pretty motivated.
Best succesful project is probably an armor stand, handmade for husband’s larp armor. Not technically complex, but with a lot of cool hand carving
I’m a woman and the manliest thing I do is woodworking, the husband sews clothes (occasionally from fabrics I weave).
I also do bodybuilding, but that’s hardly masculine anymore, yay!
Also, the age of aquarius starts somewhere around 2600. Or if you’re not really into actual astronomy, but instead prefer nonsense, somewhere between 1962 and 2024, depending on how you define the word “in”.
It won’t happen while I’m alive. Current LLMs are basically parrots with a lot of experience, and will never get close to AGI. We’re no closer today than when a computer first passed the Turing test in the 60s.
No, I mean those dishwasher drawers you have in there? You should be able to take those and just slide them into a regular cupboard. You out empty ones in the dishwasher, and over time you fill those when you use the dishes.
I wanted to put a rack for those dishwasher trays into a regular cupboard, so that we could have basically a real dishwasher for dirty stuff, and a cupboard for clean stuff so that we never have to empty it.
My husband Veto’d it, because “that’s the epitome of laziness”. Which I think is exactly the point, but whatever. It’s his job to empty the dishwasher now, which solves the problem too.
Oh yeah, drafting included a lot of sticky tape in the actual draft phase.
The US founding fathers were vehemently against a standing army, because it could be used for exactly this very thing: seizing control from cities and states. That’s why they only wanted militias.
I took a drafting class in high school many years ago (late 80s) and for the first half of the year we did all of our drawing on drafting tables with pencil and paper. It was crazy. Fortunately they had computers too, so once we had the basics down we transitioned to using AutoCAD.
I took one in uni, because at one time I wanted to be a civil engineer. We had a drafting class, and we started off on paper, because “you’re here to learn drafting, not computers!”
One day, when dutifully following instructions the teacher said something “oh, did I say 10cm between these two (huge and complex) parts? I meant 6cm. Move them closer together”.
So we all stared, and he said “and this why tomorrow we’re moving onto AutoCAD, bring your laptops”.
I want an adult-sized ball pit. Like 2m deep
Surinamese slang (kaolo is a fun one)
I love people using it as a synonym for “very”, when in fact means “shit hole”.
Dutch is also great at mugging others for words.
That’s the same combination I have on my luggage?
Pickled herring. Or soused herring. Or really, any kind of cold fish.
Yeah ok, if you want good shoes, it gets expensive fast.
Cheap? Mytholon. Cheap and good? Sorry, not really. I mean, Mytholon has great fabrics, but they’re not exactly sewn straight or neatly.
But a thousand bucks will get you there easily, depending on admission cost and food of course.
Edit: depending on what you want, Burgschneider is pretty great. Not super cheap, but definitely good and not crazy expensive
