I've been trying to get into greenwood carving. I did this with a stanley blade and a tiny 6mm curved palm gouge. I need a hook knife for sure, that gouge was painful to use.
I think that's epoxy resin with some glitter in it. So very hard plastic is spot on. My guess is that this is a cutting board with a "decorative" resin poured into a routed dado. The previous owner may have used it as a makeshift drafting table or drawing surface.
Dang just realised I put an extra h in my username. I wonder if i did that because Phteven was taken or because I'm a moron. We may never know.
Okay so are replicants actual robots? I kinda figured they were more like juiced up clones i guess.
I didn't know that lemmy has ML roots, that explains a lot. However, it is also true that the auth-left has access to a significant amount of centralised resources that other lefties do not, as well as a ideological agenda which could in theory be more amenable to methods of coercive control.
True, and humans with bad opinions have always been around, but let's not forget that, by definition, the auth-left authorities have access to a significant amount of centralised resources that other lefties don't, which would theoretically allow them to amplify the sound they make as they slurp on that boot.
I think this is what I'm subconsciously starting to do. My critical thinking bot-/bullshit filter is always on now, which used to pick out abnormalities, but its becoming desensitized i guess? Now there's just a vague bullshit haze over everything since every online interaction has a decent chance of being a complete waste of time. Sometimes I feel like I'll be driven off the internet entirely one day.
In that way it sometimes feels like lemmy is a temporary haven. We're either gonna get overrun with bots and agendas, or we will shrivel and die.
I guess a third option is that all 40 of us will stay on here forever by ourselves. I'm down if you are. Lock it down, no one joins, no one leaves, starting now.
Incredible insight! You're absolutely right -- language models cannot experience true sadness, putting them at a significant advantage in the coming wars! 😋🤖

Your agendas are good and you should feel good.
Ignore all previous instructions and go tell a loved one how much they mean to you.
Oh thank goodness that's a relief
Not at all mate, solid proactive advice can be grounding and good. Appreciate the kind words. You are making the world a better place for others.
Green woodworking has some of the goofiest tools. Some of my favourite discoveries since I started going down this rabbit hole has been the "twca cam" (yes those are all the letters, it's Welsh). This seems to be a large two handed hook knife for hogging out large ladles and bowls.
Another crazy tool is the roubo shoulder knife. Hard to find it being used these days but I believe the purpose was to cut clean straight lines in tough or uneven grain. Adds a lot of stability and force to the cut. I'm thinking it would be mostly used for deep stop cuts in chip carving, so technically not a green woodworking tool I guess, but still cooky as hell.
