How does telling someone to sustain serious injuries imply you want them to succeed?

Why are vietnamese singled out?

Frequently when I’m making lists and I am reorganizing the order.

Or I’m wiritng a recipe and get the directions in the wrong order.

Sometimes I’m writing an article and I move sentences around to improve the flow of the article.

Cause they aren’t, they are just the “better guys”.

Handtools in woodworking. There are some people who refuse use a tool without a cord.

Are you happy I @ed you lol (I have no idea what anyone is saying)

Overtime, our kitchen knives. Knives need to be thin, as thinner knives cut through ingredients more easily. Today’s knives are designed instead to be marketed. Something incredibly thick, and sturdy, to make it feel “premium”, when all its doing is tiring you out, since using a heavy knife gets exhausting, especially when its so thick it wedges in ingredients.

Vintage European knives are slim, and almost petite, because they knew how to make a good knife, in the same manner japanese knives are ground extremely thin, sometimes thinner than a postcard.

I was already planning to run away from an abusive home.

This is horrifying

The differences between dents and craters is that dents merely compress the wood, without damaging the fibers, while craters break and destroy fibers. Dents can be repairing by expanding the wood, but craters aren’t fixable.

You have to remove the varnish by sanding first, then try to iron the floor. There may be poor contact in the middle so try ironing the other edges.

Other than that, you are gonna have to get new boards installed.

All handtools. I’m self taught and I work professionally (as in I do this for my living, but I still don’t think I’m very good). I use all Japanese tools and work on the floor. Working on small parts is hard and you need good workholding. Since the Japanese work on the floor, you can just use your foot. Otherwise a metalworking vice works great for small parts, and sometimes a drill press vice. I am super active in a discord server if you want an invite. Super beginner friendly.

Spend some time learning to fix everything. EVERYTHING. Knowing a little bit of plumbing, electronic repair, woodwork, carpentry, and cad can save you tremendous amounts of money. Contractors cost crazy amounts of Money, even for simple fixes.

Yoy dont even need to practice, just read up on it. Recently my sink started leaking, so I though I’d just mess with it. Fixed it with 30$ worth of parts. Dishwasher broke and I fixed it with a 70$ PSU.

Dont learn how to do oil changes though, most of the time it won’t save you any money. Autoshops save a lot of money with volume oil changes.

Woodworking is a hobby that can pay for itself, and yoy dont even have to sell anything. Wood is everywhere, and free. You have to wait months for it to dry but afterwards you can make anything.

Ive made spatulas, spoons, snack clips, furniture, tools, storage, cabinets, bookmarks, bowls, cutting boards, knife covers, drying racks, shelves, etc. It gives you a level of self sufficiency that can never be taken from you. It shouldn’t even be called woodworking, it should just be called “making shit”. It’s an extremely useful and valuable skill. Ive even used it to fix computers by making custom brackets and stuff, and a special heatsink mount for an old heatsink.
