  • What is used as an insult, but doesn't really feel like one?

  • So! There's a place in Philly called the Mutter Museum. Filled with all manner of human specimens of various ailments.

    Absolutely fascinating. Like $20 admission. 100% worth it.

    A couple of the pieces on display are the skulls and jaws of mouth breathers. I don't know if they had an issue that required surgery that wasn't available in the 1800's, or if it was just bad habits, but.

    Literally changes the shape of your bones. And therefore your face.

    Fucking wild.

  • US wants Ukraine to withdraw from Donbas and create ‘free economic zone’, says Zelenskyy

  • There's a 'free zone' in Belize that ahh.... It's like a pustulant blister of capitalism. It's gross. Feels gross. Everywhere that isn't actively selling shit is a literal garbage dump, and there's a ton of building carcasses with faded signs falling off of them. Looks like in its heyday it was at best a sleazy strip mall.

  • Also, I get it's a restoration project, which are fun and wholesome, but Fuck push saws.

    Pull saws are where it is at! Easier to keep on target, less work, and you can't crease the blade on a cut and ruin the whole fucking saw

    Though, I've never seen a pull saw you can play with a bow

  • Wood glue isn't going to hold on metal at all.

    Anti-seize to stop spinning? What? No. Anti seize is shit you put on threads so that when you come back years later, they still move.

    Long acting lubricant.

    And drilling out a bolt that's already spinning isn't going to be a fun time

  • Super glue is super brittle. Will fail at the first bit of force

  • How to remove a stuck nut from old hand saw

    Jump

  • There's no glue or epoxy on earth I'm aware of that will hold on metal well enough to handle the force of unscrewing a bolt.

    You might solder nuts to either side, that might hold and be reversible.

    The suggestions of drilling it out also won't work well, if it's already spinning in place, it will spin faster.

    I know you don't want to, but cutting a slot is your best bet. If you do it clean, it'll just look like a screw. You could replace with a rivet if you really need a non-screw look for the finish

  • Do you feel content warnings are beneficial?

    Jump

  • You know, fairy tales for children generally involved horror, murder, dismemberment and worse.

    To get the kids to be aware of the actual horrors of the world, which are worse.

    Hearing a story about, or seeing a fictional or even actual video of some of the fucked up shit people do to each other for stupid fucking reasons is still not actually traumatic.

    Experiencing depictions of such shit should absolutely bother you. Should absolutely put you a bit on your toes, in real life, on the daily.

    So you can avoid those situations. So you know shit like that's possible, and fucked up fuckers have done it and will do it, and they'll think they're right the whole time.

    Because when it does actually happen, that's when it is traumatic, and not just being smart and aware

  • Do you feel content warnings are beneficial?

    Jump

  • eh, shit i've read and seen on a screen, while it may have bothered me at the time, isn't actual trauma, which does not fucking ask permission.

    And yeah, there's media that triggers that-but it's media. I close it. I leave. I can. it's not actually happening to me, right now.

    I think it's a decent notion, to annotate. It's for sure people trying to be good for one another, and that's laudable.

    But. As I said, the worst of the world does not ask permission, and I think enforcement of content tags or what have you would likely lead directly to even more oppression and censorship in the storm of that which we are currently in.

    I will say ao3's pretty on point about it, from what i've seen-it's voluntary, and it's actually voluntary. How you keep that across the ages is anyone's guess
