I have an old Husqvarna 345 and I'm very happy with it. I believe the 300 series is like a semi-professional lineup. More than good enough for home use. Decent gift for someone who thinks they could use a chainsaw, but isn't a professional lumberjack that knows exactly what type of saw they need.
Of course the 345 is no longer being sold, but basically get 'em something in the 40-50 cm^3^ range roughly, to get started. Husqvarna and Stihl both make great saws.
Yes, I love chainsaws.
I labeled everything when I first got my label maker.
I still love any opportunity to use it.
I don't need a label marker... but it would be so fun to have.
They're pretty cheap too, just don't get a Dymo, with their proprietary locked down DRM ass label tape.
Just label every drawer, jar and box you own. Helps you stick to an organizing system and makes it easier for guests too.
Don't forget to label the label machine, just in case.

things my bidoof has said since i gave him hm01 for christmas
I didn’t realize scissors were ‘handed’. My right-handed privilege is showing.
Yes, and when write with a pen or pencil on paper it’s easier to smear your work as the writing hand is trailing, not leading.
Coffee mugs with logos have in mind which hand you hold them with.
Insulated bottles with handles and sip lids assume righthandedness.
One improvement has been smart watches since the screen can flip over if you switch wrists.
When I got my smart watch the first thing I wanted to do was add a watch face like the old Goofy lefty watches that went anti-clockwise. Thus far I have not found one.
Be the change you want to see, make one
I wish I knew how.
I’m a lefty who made it almost half a century on this earth without realizing I could just go out and buy left handed scissors, so don’t feel too bad.
I don’t want to try and take away your privilege but You can buy scissors that are "hand neutral."
No you cannot, though some manufacturers like to say so.
The grips are neutral, but the blades are righty.
Pick up some scissors and open them like you're cutting something. You'll see the top blade on the right and the bottom on the left. Because you're holding them in your right hand the bottom/left blade is closer to you. This gives you a clear view of the cutting line of whatever you're cutting. Even if you flip them it's still true.
For a lefty this line is blocked by the top blade.
Lefty scissors have the blades reversed. Try a pair sometime. It's doable but not pleasant.
Ohhhhh, it's about the blades! Now I finally get it. Thanks!
"Hand neutral " scissors are still right handed scissors that do not have molded finger holes for righties. They still are built backwards for a lefty. All in all they work in a pinch, but generally are garbage.
My partner is a lefty, and sometimes manufacturers lie about them being hand neutral
It's not possible. The really important part is which blade is on which side. The grips can work for both hands but the blades are righty.
We should all work towards ending the horrors of handedness and the implied moral violence inherent in the system.
Apparently bread knives are also handed.
A couple weeks ago, after more than three decades on this earth, I discovered for the first time that if I slice the butter from the other end of the stick, I can get a nice clean, straight, vertical cut. Because the butter knife is only beveled on one side.
All my life, I've been slicing butter from the wrong end, and the knife has slipped off a third of the way down every time...
This is what it felt like to finally get an ADHD diagnosis in my 30s after raw dogging life on hard mode, and assuming I just sucked at life compared to everyone else
"Is this what things have been like for you this whole time?"
I got diagnosed with severe complex sleep apnea (central and obstructive). I spent a few weeks with a CPAP but not dialed into the correct pressure but after my first night of sleeping with a CPAP in the lab to get the pressure correct I woke up and went to work.
I was confused because I felt odd, it took me 10-15 minutes standing on a forklift trying to figure out what the fuck was happening. I finally realized that I was experiencing what being awake was for the first time in my life at 32. I reintroduced myself to coworkers I had worked with for a few years because I had been in a haze for most of my life.
I am almost 70 and my GP says I have undiagnosed ADHD and autism. Now I cannot afford to pay for the actual testing to prove it and document it. Ironic, back when it would have been free or cheap I was the “weird kid” and later “uncle nutsy” and there were no diagnoses.
Gods this was basically what trying gender neutral pronouns was like. Figured I would give them a try, how much difference can they make?
Wow, why does every friendship suddenly feel closer and more real? Huh, I actually can spend time with people and not feel drained? Why is my long-term skin and inflammation problems suddenly and inexplicably clear up?
Oh wait... These health problems can be caused by stress! What else can be caused by stress (reads list)
Oh shit. Yeah that also stopped being a problem... And this one... Wait, I don't have joint problems as much either....
oh shiiiiiiiit
I recently hit my 30's, probably have ADHD, reading this...
...I swear, if I don't kill someone...
We've come a long way from the days of teachers hitting left-handed kids with rulers when they tried to write with the dominant hand.
You can just get non-ergonomic scissors. Then nobody’s happy!
That might help for the grip, but the blades would still be right handed
Left handed rulers are also a thing, and surprisingly helpful even if you're right handed. The scale runs from the right to the left, so if you hold it with your left hand the zero is on the stick out to the right.
For me it was the opposite. Elementary school had old and dull left hand scissors. I never understood how the manufacturers could screw them up so badly, lol.
Huh, on the rare occasion that left handed scissors were actually available, they were always way better because they didn't get used
Cutting is just something I learned to do right handed for that exact reason.
Left handed scissors sounds like one of those fake tools, like a long weight or blinker fluid.
They're life changing for us lefties. Blades are meant to be squeezed together with the force from your thumb but right handed blades are backwards for lefties, meaning will pull the blades apart when we squeeze. Not saying you don't know this but someone might learn it!
A lefty that doesn't know how to clench the blades is no lefty I want to associate with.
Once bought a left handed scissor, did not know up until then there was such a thing, as a right handed how the fuck do you cut stuff, it was the crappiest cut ever
The same way I use a computer mouse, suboptimally with my off hand, but it was the only option when I was learning as a child and now I'm stuck because it works well enough. I think most lefties have decent capability with their right hand because it's occasionally unavoidable to use it for something.
as a right handed how the fuck do you cut stuff, it was the crappiest cut ever
That is how us lefties feel using right-handed scissors.
