A house with fresh paint is a no-go for me when looking to buy.

Too much shit can be easily hidden behind layers of latex paint.

Unfortunately, I know from experience how much mold can be hidden by paint.

I prefer rustic cottage theme. I never get tired of it and if someone else thinks it’s ugly… Cool, don’t live with me then.

Every Ai company is scraping everything they can from everywhere they can get away with.

How is this surprising anyone…

I started a stopwatch on my ipod touch back in 2011 and it was still going last time I found and charged it up around 2017.

Why be “reasonable” with unreasonable people?

Offer to buy at 500x the highest value it ever had, when adjusted for inflation, plus 10% of the company’s revenue going forward, and maybe I’d consider it.

In modern society, it’s getting harder to separate politics from a lot of things, and the people who whine about it just look like cartoon ostriches with their heads in the sand.

Well if not because greed or shitty people in management, why oppose unionization?

Lol that’s fair. Purity testing is for drugs, people. (and chemicals, metallurgy… You get the idea)

“they also don’t really like leftists… which is reasonable” Big yikes oof on that phrasing there, bud.

I also noticed a world account today that was created some time ago, but hasn’t done anything until this past week and is weirdly defending AP. Seems like quite a few have popped up over this.

So it’s a fancy heatsink.

Anyone who thinks “yeah lgbt stuff should be hidden because we want to attract people who don’t want to see LGBT stuff” is someone I don’t want anywhere near the fediverse.

“I had no way of knowing I wasn’t permitted to climb over the glass, there was no sign and nobody told us not to” is a perfectly valid defence, IMO. Whether it “should be common sense” or not is irrelevant.

You can’t claim someone has trespassed when all they did was just choose an alternate route back to ground level, much less an alternate route that did not say “don’t take this route”.

200% motivated now, for sure!

I needed to take a break anyway, my tolerance for vapes went through the roof. This just forces me to take it sooner!

I wish this were me right now.

Unfortunately I have finally run out after 6 months, and since I’m still job hunting I decided I wasnt gonna buy more until after my first paycheck wherever I end up.

Sadly it’s taking a lot longer than I hoped lol so I guess it’s a THC break for me

Legitimately going through my wood scraps to see if I have enough to make a decent looking bin. I’ve even got a couple primo fetching sticks waiting to be pulled off some deadwood.

My brother in law actually tried to hook me up at the car place he worked at, and my job would have been to go to auctions and estate sales looking for nice cars for the dealership to buy. It would essentially have been a couple things they want me to go to per week, but then I’d have to be looking myself for things like Craigslist, marketplace, and paper listings.

Didn’t end up going for the job, due to the owners being shit head MAGAts, but it would have been interesting for a few months.

That’s what I imagine any place that NEEDS pre-40s metal would do. Have a person who just goes to places that have blacksmithing tools advertised and buy them. Probably big auctions though, I imagine smallest ate sales wouldn’t get much attention.

A guy I used to know who would go to estate sales looking for blacksmithing equipment once told me the market for old metalworking stuff is disappearing because too much stuff is being bought by companies én masse for this reason.

I don’t know if I believe that companies are buying small lot auctions and estate sales for old anvils, but he was sure convinced.

I like to joke I’m sitting on a pile of cash because my anvil isn’t radioactive. (it’s not a very good joke, but it carries some weight!)

The trick is to use a proper flamethrower. Then you don’t have to worry about being close enough to smell it.

Besides, it’s the skin hair and fat that smells bad, the muscle itself smells… Not good, but like… Not gross or anything.

Source of smell: accidents from my past.

Could also track down the CEO, trap them in their own dwellings, and set them on fire.

That requires slightly more work though
