I once made a deadplug, I was kinda distracted and ended up with a cable with two male plugs. Hangs on my shop wall as memento for "focus on what you're doing" or something.

Hieroglyphs are actually not that simple, my ex gf was an Egyptologist, I went to quite a few lectures with her, that was a highly complex language, more akin to Japanese Kanji, with deep layered subtexts. Those desert dudes were crazy. If you have ever have a chance to visit a lecture about hieroglyphs, do it, it'll blow your mind. Or how they calculated time, or even saw it, culturally and individually, wow. They were so unbelievably far ahead, I sometimes compare them to the octopus of human development, they should rule the world, but there was that one thing, that prevented it. (For the analogy: the octopus dies when their kids are hatching, would they have the ability to pass their knowledge along to them, today eight armed space suits would be en Vogue)

Didn't actually know where to post it otherwise. Spelling is almost correct...

With all due respect, I think Steve visited "the other vendor", the one a bit further down with the free heating. There he can update his soul.

If you still own a HP printer, it's your own fault. Sorry. Got an Canon with liquid refill, loved it, equipped my company with it & recommended it to everyone I know. It's not even expensive & the quality is impeccable. Plus: no problems whatsoever over Linux.

EDIT: CANON, not Epson. I'm distracted sometimes. Canon PIXMA G4511, sub 300 Eur.

Benchmade Griptilian mini, 154CM steel, good for resharpening, I stop before insanely sharp because work knife, not shaving blade, but it's possible, only had to change the screws on the clip for a tiny bit longer ones (actually laptop screws + loctite), the threads are quite short in the metal casing below the polymer. Very comfy to carry, length over all 17cm (~7 inch), blade 7cm(2.75 inch), it's no survival knife, more a city slicker and package opener. My fav to carry, by far.

Like in "has Reggie got some water today?" or "when did Reggie last got some fertilizer?", he's the "bouncer" on the door to my wife's workshop & everybody loves him, even the squirrels from outside.

Yep. It's me. Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and savior, GNU/Linux?

I've seen the birth of it in my lifetime, I'll see the death of it in my lifetime. Way to go, evolution!

I'm more of a solid wood guy, learned a bit about chipboard here, for example to avoid it where possible. But the countertop is real wood :) We haven't got much space, so you have to build stuff.

The Gerber armbar has got 2 holes for an awful plastic clip and I thought "easy fix" - it wasn't. Had to order screws M2x4mm & M2 nuts and had to drill very exact, worked out in the end, I present: Frankentool® PS: Locktite's your friend.

I wish there's a similar reaction if one woman is raped or degraded, one gay person beaten or oppressed, one child molested, one dictator suppresses a population or one politician decides against environment, reason and humanity and for greed. But no, a fkn book was burnt. What would Mohammed say about that if he'd live today, hm?

One word: F-Droid! I'm literally only searching there for Apps first, often I find it. Send them some love, if you can afford it! Wouldn't know how to watch YouTube anymore without New Pipe and stuff, listening to music via ViMusic, all ad-free. https://f-droid.org/en/
