Second hand SFFs ftw... Shame about wattage for 24/7 uptime
I feel that way about a lot of creatives.
The content can be good when the person is a shitcake.
Actors, musicians, artists and writers. Every medium has loads of public and secret assholes.
Ignorance is bliss when you're not paying for it.
I started my... 5th rewatch last week.
They really don't make shows like they used to.
The episode where jack and teal'c switched bodies and the actors had to impersonate each other hits hard.
"I don't need to know things because Google/ChatGPT knows things for me."
"Those DO NOT ENTER signs must be wrong. GPS said to turn here!"
I learned about tax brackets when I went up a bracket.
Self education is seriously lacking for most people.
Literally just search "how do tax brackets work?"
Took me 15 min to learn everything I needed to know instead of making a false assumption.
Starting to watch local markets.
This one feels like a scam or stolen at $175 even if all the batteries are shot.
I needed two similar pieces of wood to prevent my sofa from banging against the wall and damaging it.
Cut the pieces and it was ugly and misshapen. Have a hand pane so I shaved off the jagged bits.
Miter boxes don't help when you can't keep a saw steady.
Just bought my first home and still unpacking.
The list of things to fix is ever growing. The bathroom vanity latch is the first one the list!
We're hoping to renovate but in the meantime one door won't open (latch) and two mirrors shake when you open them.
Latch is an easy fix. Got parts locally. Replaced the broken one. Wife loves the loud strong click. Wants them all upgraded. Good thing I bought upgrades too. So they're all new now. Shame they're not tan but the click is good.

The mirrors are peeling off the wood. Uninstalled, glued and reinstalled.

Peeling mirror
Glued them up, put weight on it overnight to cure. Cardboard under the mirrors to protect them. Wood to direct pressure and tools to weigh it down.
I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it... Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.
Am I alone here? It's so satisfying to just glide open!
Edit: She followed up with: "you're enjoying yourself too much"
Damn straight I am. It's the little things you have to enjoy!
I borrowed some landscaping tools from my brother in law and he offered his old air compressor since he doesn't use it. Broken tube. Easy normal part to replace.
Got a air compressor accessories kit on the way home. Replaced the hose and tip. Plugged it in outside. Left it for 10 minutes...
Never turned off. Hmm. Might be one of those that have a release valve and not auto shutoff.
20 PSI? That's odd. Unplugged it. Hissing...
Air coming out the bottom. Maybe a puncture?
Found the spot. Got 80 grit sandpaper and 3300 PSI rated epoxy. Sanded and found rust.
Patched it and my spidey sense went off while looking at the epoxy...
Did a search:
A leaking air compressor tank—especially with a leak on the bottom where corrosion is likely—can be extremely dangerous, even if "repaired" with epoxy or other sealants. The primary risk is catastrophic rupture under pressure. If the integrity of the tank is compromised (for example, by internal rust or a patched-up hole), the tank can explode with explosive force, launching shrapnel and causing severe injury or death, as well as property damage
When tanks rupture, the velocity of air and shrapnel can be lethal. For example, a 60-gallon tank at 150 PSI can explode violently, creating 680 mph air blasts and extremely loud noise, both of which are highly hazardous for bystanders
Nope! Tossing it!
Dodged a nearly literal bullet there.
