Isn’t it Ionic?

It makes perfect sense when viewed from “the credit companies work with lenders to ensure your credit only rises if you’re constantly in more and more debt but still paying it like an obedient little wage slave”

Personally I’m a huge fan of bouncing a ball off a couple of sticks, but you like what you like, eh?

Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.

I make knives and I really want to let one sit in honey for a week to see if it gives it an acid wash.

I have other acids that work much quicker, but I’m having a bit of a giggle at making a pattern-welded steel butter knife and calling it my “Honey Knife”

Because we have knives already in our kitchens, and they don’t take up extra space in a drawer that would otherwise go to another more useful utensil.

Also my cheese slicers have all been cheap as shit and snap after a few months, and the nice heavy duty one I had with a replaceable wire got lost in the move earlier this year and they discontinued it and I’m sad.

I mean, half of my hammers have had their handles remade with whatever hardwood was closest. So I’m gonna go with those.

However, the most complex thing that I can repair with sourced parts would be either my truck, or my truck. I’ve had to fix it with “close enough” parts before, and I will fix it until the frame rusts (which given Northern states and salted roads probably won’t be more than a few more years)

There’s a smattering of electronics that I’ve seen mentioned multiple times as well.

One thing that is theoretically repairable, but is hard to find parts for, my washing machine. It’s a old 50s model with a lever to engage the motor, a roller on top to squeeze water out, and a simple steel gear system to drive everything. I should be able to open it up with a crescent wrench and flat head screwdriver, but I doubt I will ever be able to find ready-made parts (I have looked briefly when I thought I had a problem with it that sorted itself) but I might be able to bodge some things together if needed.

Half the time when you see someone walking around with the wrong amount of pips, it’s just delicious street corn

I mean, you’re wrong about the intro, but ENT still gets a HELL YEAH from me.

(the intro is a jam, but it’s so out of place for me I can’t enjoy it while binging, I usually listen to it in the car a few times while watching the show)

Landlords province nothing to society, they are leeches who profit off others hard work simply because they “own the property” the worker lives on and takes care of.

Save a tree, axe a landlord.

Does anyone for a moment think any article would use the phrase “Saudi/North Korean/Chinese president ‘closes’ US airspace” in any way if it were a threat to the US?

In the old days the brick-and-mortar stores would refuse to stock any game that was even remotely controversial in content or age rating.

Either you’re too young to have experienced “the old days” or you live in a very conservative area.

There was absolutely a mature section for nearly every store I went to, they either had sleeves to cover the games with printed/handwritten titles, or were collected and kept in their own area that was in view of an employee to tell kids to stay away.

Places like Walmart

Oh, you meant department stores, not actual local game stores.

Honestly I can go 3 days without playing Rimworld and I’ve completely forgotten what was happening, and half of my mods are unfamiliar again so I have to start over.

I was ranked in the top 10 for pistol kills in modern warfare 3 for over a year and a half.

Then I lost interest in fps games for a few months. Tried to come back and play with some friends, and completely sucked ass.

I saw a post asking the same thing the day I joined lemmy dot world with my first account.

That was a couple years ago now. I think I’m on my third instance?

Smeagol/Gollum wasn’t quite a hobbit, according to Tolkien.

So either way, no evil hobbits.

Even Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.

Flour + water = hardtack

clack clack

:D

If it isn’t proof they target children, I don’t know what is.

Microtransctions prove they should be illegal every time I read any article about them

To me it’s felt more like “look at me I’m so unique”

“God told me to do it.”

The first time I heard that as a teenager, I made sure nobody ever felt comfortable saying it around me again.

Some mild stripping, knocked over glassware, and “speaking in tongues” later, sorry god made me do it.
