thats awesome that you don't have to keep track of the old screws because they're hosed and you're replacing them anyway. When I rebuilt laptops after replacing memory/keyboard/hd there was always some extra screws and it was fine. This does not seem the case for a planer I assume edit for the snype  I'm bored as shiit as you can see Sjs00 fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Mar 11, 2021 |

DerekSmartymans posted:When my retired parents go on vacation (before COVID-19, ofc) I only have myself and my 97y/o Granny to take care of. The four of us go through a loaf of bread ridiculously fast because we often eat toast and sandwiches for sustenance and supper is a hot nutritious meal. I can go to Kroger, though, and buy a half-loaf of Wonder bread which is actually perfect for two people. I used to buy a sourdough bread looking very much like PtF’s posted ITT. If nobody helps me I usually have to feed it to the ravens on the back porch three days later. Funny thing is I don’t really mind because I mostly get up at 4:00 to eat breakfast and drink coffee on the deck, and “chat” with my well-behaved bird friends. We don’t even bother (them) or scare (me) each other because they are smart enough to even teach the babies how to ask politely and they know I share. They bring me shiny things, too, like nails and paper clips and candy wrappers with foil showing on the inside. My dogs love me because they are dumb and I wrassle and feed them, but the ravens are wild and stay around because we enjoy each other’s’ company. Even the dogs get along with them because they learned the birds are too far on the rails and tables to get, so now they just ignore each other 😍. It’s been nice over the year without the movies and bookstores and restaurants. We've likewise been training crows with peanuts since quar. Haven't given us anything in return, don't even like to be on the nearby roof when we're on the fire escape. But they do know to get on the roof where they can be seen from the window and squawk when hungry. We have selfish crows.

Sjs00 posted:you gotta show us a picture of your friends now I’ll try to remember that tomorrow! They started “barter” with my dad last year. We had put two of my Papa John’s birdhouses up and after an entire month of brain-combat with the Gray Squirrels over the bird feed the ravens and greased support poles chased them off. We were working on the deck and pulled out the nails for screws. They would get close enough to collect the nails and we would give them Ritz crackers. Corvids are smart and I guess the Ritz and free birdseed meant we were ok dudes. If I were them I wouldn’t be scared of the dogs, though: Those are huge freakin birds I never realized were so large. Hitchcock knew what he was doing! Edit: Pennywise, I spent a while inpatient because of a complete break with reality a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully the cafeteria is as good as the one I go to (who needs Thorazine when you have unlimited access to chocolate milk and powdered donuts if you get off of suicide watch and can be trusted to move to commons?). I hope you get help because the dual diagnosis folks usually end up that way because of incomplete or nonexistent mental health care and medicate themselves into an addiction. I will be praying for you! DerekSmartymans fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Mar 11, 2021 |

I will be praying for you! The food is great. Yeah it's like cafeteria food but I love it. They give me way too much food though and I was a "you better eat everything on your plate" kid so ugh... The bipolar complicates the alcohol. I'm not on suicide watch or anything though and my doctors said I can leave tomorrow.  I hope you got the help you needed! Thanks everyone.

Took a couple days off this week to go snowboarding. Honestly, snowboarding had kept me sane. One thing I love to do that I still can do, and that makes me feel really loving happy.

Got my tap and die set and set to work making an incredibly ugly screw today: This little beauty let me get my rollers reset into the planer:  And here is the new sprocket almost totally chained up:  I kicked it on while it was disassembled and by god the thing freaking worked again. Probably need a new belt soon but gosh dang it, once it's reassembled this bad boy will be as good as new. I'm feeling a little proud. This is definitely the most complicated tool repair I've done. Never tapped a hole, never fabricated a fastener, never fully disassembled any of my larger tools. I'm feeling like the Grand Poobah right now.

I wish I was that handy. Today I'm struggling to fix my toilet from running constantly. Trial and error adjusting the cup float valve screw thing. It's not precise at all and it's not putting the float up all the way. I'll get it. If my dad could do it I can!

You know that at some point you need to sell that thing off second hand to someone. Just so they can have the experience of posting about the time he needed to disassemble the thing for repairs and turns out the fuckin' lunatic who owned it before for some reason put a home-made pipethreaded screw in there to hold it together. Those stories are the best. Tales I could tell about re-wiring the bathroom in the house my sibling bought years back... Aluminum wiring, no GFCIs, TEN outlets on the same 16A breaker, total fuckin shitshow, and if I'd been around when she was seeing the place I probably could have got like 2-3 grand off the top just saying 'Hey uh, looks like you have one jillion plugs, none of which belong in a bathroom, in that vanity. There's no way that's safe, there's no way that won't cost money to fix, and now that you've been informed, you're now legally obligated to spend the money fixing it or disclose 'this house is a firetrap' to anyone else you show after us, and first thing, too."

I also completed a project that required a lot of improv. Technically illegal, deets'll have to wait 16 months till the ol' statute limitates itself. Let's just say it involves the sharing economy, personal mobility, and is misdemeanor kid poo poo, as I now realize those first two sentences, on the internet, in these days of ours, easily read like some unabomber nonsense. Property isn't real, property crime doubly so. But yea, it is seriously, seriously gratifying to, like, create a thing rather than buy it. I got all the way through a STEM undergrad without learning a single proper skill besides soldering and some Java and then in grad school had to learn Python, mill & lathe, CAD, tooling, HV wiring & safety, even the little stuff like tapping and die-ing is fun to do. It's like being a modern day Gandalf or something. "What I wanted was not, so I spent some time and effort, and it was. And it was good." And if you're anything like me, the mental monologue during the whole work period goes like "Stupidstupidstupid why can't you figure this out you useless dumbfuck" for days or even weeks straight, so the high that follows once it turns on is so much higher. Mwah. Couldn't be happier for you dude, hope you're feeling even a tenth this good. Current project - the totally legal but warranty voiding disassembly of my sibling's (previously mine but my useful things have a way of migrating) dust buster/carpet cleaner that somehow they managed to break the power button on.
