We need to start demanding technical diagrams again. I’ve fixed up antiques where the schematics were printed on the inside, even for a simple flashlight.

Totally, and such a cheap hobby. Plus you can just remake all the sheets you fuck up.
I’ve experimented with so many methods, best I’ve found for pure plant fibre sheets (if you don’t want to spend forever sponging) is to just flip your whole screen with the sheet onto whatever drying surface you use(as long as it’s smooth and flat) sponge the back through the screen, wait for it to dry a bit until the paper holds together on its own, then peel the screen off with a butter knife.
I’m sure you’ll figure out your own thing, though. Some people just leave them on the screens till dry.

I say lots of things. Like all the queer, feminist things I spread.
He’s on like ten instances. Why not just block his accounts instead of depriving yourself of cool rocks?

And he’s on the Wren instance with my feminist, socialist, queer ass.

- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 week ago:
Okay but I’ve been in plastic bag land for a while and every goddamn time I make the first cut, I spill milk everywhere. Is there a trick? I already know the “both sides” method and put it in the jug before I cut the corner. Right now I just have a glass standing by for my obligatory shot every time I open one.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 week ago:
We had those in Vancouver, too, which came from a dairy in the Greater Vancouver Area. I used to get fancy milk on payday and keep the bottles for crafts, away from the recycling bandits. They love them because you can get like a dollar back, per each.

The Big Cheese was funded by the same organization that created the Samurai Pizza Cats to justify their outlandish R&D budget. Pizza Cat technology was sunk cost the moment it came up in the boardroom. They’ve just been sending good money after bad for years.

I disagree. I do not enjoy wearing cheap earplugs. After years of aching ears, trying every size and method, custom fitted were a pleasure to wear. Mine were paid for through an employment program.
That said, there are much cheaper shaped earplugs for specific decible ranges you can get for about $15-30 in Canada, made for concerts and shows.
- Comment on Always wear protection, folks 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know specifics. He went to the doctor, they sent him to a hearing specialist, who said he’d be fine but to mind loud environmentsn for the next while (which he told me at a loud bar that night.) He mentioned ADHD and forgetting/not feeling like grabbing his ears on site when he wasn’t around tools, so they figured earbuds he could wear all day long were the best way to protect his dumbass from himself.
- Comment on Always wear protection, folks 4 weeks ago:
I bet they don’t wear ear pro at the range because they’re already deaf. Even at the most red-necking shooting parties, hurling skeets in the quarry, we’re stringent on safety and covering our damn ears. One friend of a friend refused and I was like “You either put on the ears or I will lovingly hold your head while you shoot, you pick.”

Jokes aside, I’m gonna ruin the fun here.
This is real. I had a buddy temporarily loose partial hearing in one ear when scaffolding shifted next to him, the crack was so loud it hurt. He left work to get it checked out, extremely anxious because he was only 25 and a musician - and good thing he did.
My dad, who worked on airplanes his whole life —one of those man’s men who doesn’t need things like gloves and goggles, well, he’s mostly deaf now and it took three years for the military to clear his doctor’s appointments and get him hearing aids. We can’t talk on the phone anymore.
You can get custom fitted earplugs for specific decibel ranges now, which is what my construction buddy got. I have a pair myself for raves and concerts, and I can hear people next to me just fine.
Protect your hearing, you won’t get it back.
