The victory of Donald trump is evident of that. His selling point was “I’m gonna fix EVERYTHING”, dems pledge was “We’re not Donald trump!”. Dems lost fucking terribly.

Oblugatroy I voted for Harris, but it’s hard not to see that people are already desperate.

Dont live near Pennsylvania at all, but Scranton sounds very familiar .

Knife sharpening. Not hard to learn how to do it decently, and hard to find someone who can do it decently. The equipment is not too expensive either. 40$ for a good coarse stone (you will need one!!!) And 40$ for a decent combo stone of medium and fine. You probably want a good flattening stone too.

DONT use amazon, all of the stones there are scams. A good coarse stone is a Naniwa lobster 220. A good combo stone is the KING KDS 1000/6000.

I would only recommend short games. Ive been gaming my whole life and basically quit recently, because I was playing grindy games that were so exhausting mentally.

Even great games like Terraria, Minecraft and dont starve leave me exhausted. Such huge time sinks. Ive moved onto hobbies that are much more satisfying.

Aeropress coffee maker.

Its like 20$, works really well, very simple design with few things to break.

Swiss army knives. You’ll find at least one in everyone’s bedside drawer or junk drawer.

Ive found them dull all the time, but never broken

The TSA confiscates tens of thousands of these things

Glad to hear that workers like me have an exception. Always feel a little insecure about my dirty nails (I’m a woodworker and the grit from sharpening gets onln my nails and hands).

Also hate super strong perfume. Sometimes there are old ladies, who I assume have little sense of smell left, utterly dowsing themselves in perfume. As soon as they open the door the smell hits you like a brick. Honestly I dont know if I hate the smell of BO or chemically perfume more. One grosses me out and the other makes me winse. Sometimes its so strong my sinuses and nostrils burn.

This infuriates me to no end. I dont understand how these people live. Every few seconds is another notification. If its a Snapchat notification its even worse and I dont know why.

I used to and still kind of hate most fruits, because I’m way up north. But once we get stock from Florida I get like 10 pounds of the stuff

My sister actually saw her in elementary school! Even in her old age she was trying to educate us, and teach us better.

He literally never said any of that. Looked through his entire post and comment history.

Chill out dude.

Seems pretty easy, buy 100mil of gold bullion. It’s around 3100 lb (1400kg) and is relatively small. I think you could hit it under a bed or couch or two. Probably fit it into a couple awkward corners in your closet. Use one as a paper weight.

The seller that scammed me was huku huku japan. Apparently this is a very big problem with Japanese sellers, many of them are simply bots that copy and translate listings from Japanese second hand sites, then direct the shipping address to the eBay customer.

They are terrible because they offer zero transparency and missing items are common. Since it is automated, if there was a mistake in Japan (ie original seller lost the item and refunded the buyer) you don’t get your item, or a refund. Basically dropshipping. It’s sickening that they are given a full refund, but keep the eBay buyers money and shipping fee. In total they stole 70$ from me.

Similar to you, I expected long shipping times. I’m in the US and was buying from Japan. Since the shipping times are so long, I gave the seller a lot of leniency. Especially because tracking only occurs after the item has already left japan. This unknowingly disqualified me from a refund, or any help at all from eBay.

If you are looking for cheap refurbished laptops, I recommend PC Sever and Parts. Ive bought from them before and they have good customer service and generous free warranty (90 days). I work IT and I was satisfied with the refurbishment. There were some covered scratches, but it was clean and thermal paste was changed.

I had a lightly damaged cable internal cable. They offered to pay for return shipping and refund me, but I just asked for replacement cables. They quickly shipped me 2 new ones free of charge and shipping.

I used to use eBay instead but due to a recent incident I feel uncomfortable using it. I bought an item and after there was still no tracking number for a week or two, I contacted the seller. More time passed and they told me to wait again. The next time I just ask for a refund.

They ghost me and I decide to escalate to eBay, they have great protections right? Money back guarantee right? Turns out, if you do not report the item within 30 days of purchasing, you can’t do shit. Ok, I’ll just make a fuss to customer service. EBAY HAS NONE. There is a contact page but it is all automated and won’t apply to my item. Other than that there is no way to contact them. Abosolutely zero. There are no emails, they sometimes have a phone number but it changes and doesn’t even work most of the time. People are even saying yo DM their twitter!

I had a case where an item never arrived from Amazon. I simply contacted their customer service, answered their questions and got a refund within 10 mins.

It feels so shitty that just by trusting the seller for 2 months, I got robbed and there’s nothing I can do. Amazon, you are at least guaranteed to speak to a human and get some help.

And also eBay reviews suck, the seller that scammed me had over 90% positive feedback, tens of thousands sold items, so I assumed they were legit. All of their negative reviews were the same issue I had and they are still on the platform.

Worked IT .

Everything is working

“Why do we even pay you guys ?”

Something is broken

Personally, I think that they are here to save the car industry, not the climate. There is no where near enough lithium to replace most ICE cars with EVs.

The amount of concrete production (for infrastructure) combined with a wave of EV production will be terrible for the climate. I do not believe it is sustainable for all adults to own any type of vehicle, and to build and maintain the roads to drive on. Public transport is necessary for a green transition.

Change my mind because honestly my own opinion makes me sick.

Remember to register as with the service name as your middle name. Ie John Actblue Doe. This way you know who sold your data.

You might be confusing different mp3 rates. I absolutely notice anything under 250 kbps, but above that, especially 320kpbs MP3 is near indistinguishable to flac.

A double negative should never remain negative.

I hate hearing “didn’t do nothing”, as in, they did not do anything. I hate it because it’s inconsistent.

“Didn’t do nothing” would typically be interpreted as “did not do something”. However “I did not, in fact, do nothing” might be interpreted as doing something.

Now you have grey zones and misunderstandings where you have no idea what they are talking about because they keep stacking negatives, with different meanings in different contexts.

What are your tips for a library opening a tiny maker space? Some libraries near me have been given grants to have a “tool library” section, with some work benches and basic hand tools, that can be borrowed.
