  I don’t know all the details, just that the tire exploded and killed him.

  We had a local shop owner killed when airing up a tire with fix-a-flat. His wife ran the shop after his death and she did not mince words when someone asked why the shop wouldn’t patch their tire that had fix-a-flat.

  Talk to real people in your community. I have friends all across the political spectrum and class spectrum. We can disagree on many things, but we agree on most things. That’s important. Quit guzzling “news”.

  After Helene, I saw how people respond to real problems. Showed me that what I was already doing really is the way. Love people. Show them love. Fuck the news, fuck the headlines, focus on your community. Stop seeding fear. That’s all it is. Be love.

  I know it’s fucked, but just focus on the people around you and foster good relationships. Don’t try to understand everything they do or think differently. Just accept them where they’re at and where you’re at. Start there. It makes a huge difference. If it all goes to shit, you will have built relationships that matter.

  No, that’s rot. I’m a woodworker who has reclaimed thousands of board feet of barnwood and also has lived in a house that had termites. That is rot.

  When did they do that? Maybe it’s confabulation, but I could swear I’ve seen commercials on streaming in the last year.

  I’ve had a bidet since right before COVID (coincidentally and conveniently,) so maybe I’m just confused. It was surprising when I found out there was a toilet paper shortage in the US, then finally seeing the empty shelves, but checked the cabinet and after seeing a few rolls realized we were fine for a while. At least a dozen friends installed them soon after based on our feedback, and I know of at least three dozen through them. All bidet, e’ry bidet!

  Dante’s Divine Comedy is read similarly. Inferno, Pergatorio, Paradiso

  That can be very confusing for a young person, I agree

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He'll realize one day⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  She’s buying sex toys. Honestly, I think it’s okay to normalize it. Self sex is the safest and teaches a person a lot about themselves. At least he’s not being raised Southern Baptist (I hope.)

  It’s a requirement of publication. This isn’t like a book review.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can reading assholes be considered science?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I see what you’re saying, and I’m not saying it can’t be useful or even helpful to individuals at times, just that it’s not scientific. It extends outside of what can be tested reliably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can reading assholes be considered science?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right in that you could learn about someone based on their hands. It’s the subjective nature of the predictions that make palm reading unscientific. There have been studies to show that certain health issues manifest in our skin. Palm reading isn’t focused solely on those issues though. It tries to predict all kinds of things (wealth, relationships, misfortune, etc.) How would you create a control group for a study like that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can reading assholes be considered science?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be like one research team coming to a single conclusion. Still wouldn’t make it scientific.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can reading assholes be considered science?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not any more than palm reading is a science (it’s not.) It could be considered an art I suppose, but science needs to be things that can be tested and produce repeatable results.

  The effects of how this bothers you places you in the group of people you’re bothered by.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lick it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use my bandsaw the most in my shop (maybe second to the sander now that I think of it.) I’ve had a scroll saw I got from my dad’s shop that may have come from my grandpa’s. Weighs a ton. I’ve had it ten years and never used it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lick it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Scroll saw would be more effective for this, but the bandsaw would be more versatile.
