And the average person has (usually) no idea if what they’re being fed is even correct. But as long as it sounds correct to someone who has no idea…

Yes, but line go up fast enough?

I mean, half of my hammers have had their handles remade with whatever hardwood was closest. So I’m gonna go with those.

However, the most complex thing that I can repair with sourced parts would be either my truck, or my truck. I’ve had to fix it with “close enough” parts before, and I will fix it until the frame rusts (which given Northern states and salted roads probably won’t be more than a few more years)

There’s a smattering of electronics that I’ve seen mentioned multiple times as well.

One thing that is theoretically repairable, but is hard to find parts for, my washing machine. It’s a old 50s model with a lever to engage the motor, a roller on top to squeeze water out, and a simple steel gear system to drive everything. I should be able to open it up with a crescent wrench and flat head screwdriver, but I doubt I will ever be able to find ready-made parts (I have looked briefly when I thought I had a problem with it that sorted itself) but I might be able to bodge some things together if needed.

Former enlisted chiming in to agree.

Calm down there, Satan.

Ew, don’t import our bullshit.

American cars are the worst on the planet, and unless you’re inside one, your life is in far more danger if one is nearby.

This is definitely what sane, rational people do.

Unless you’re Bleach Man, but ever since the whole “white power” thing, he’s been trying to fly under the radar.

So the person(s) responsible are saying France is supportive of fascism.

I’d love to be able to repurpose my old kindles. I have 3 of them that have been gifted over the years and another two that I could probably just ask for since family members have newer ones.

Ideally I just want to have a simple ebook reader and nothing else for at least two of them.

The only issue is from the (admittedly small) searching I’ve done, they aren’t easy to root or install custom roms due to the software version or how new they are. I’ll admit I don’t exactly know what I’m even looking for.

I’d rather reuse things I already have than buy a new tablet just to read books on, especially since it seems like they’re just overpriced generic crap that all looks and mostly feels the same.

Aliens have to figure out our vaginas from scratch.

Depends on how many you eat…

Well a wave turbulence hit it.

SNAKE?!

You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.

American chiming in: good. It’s only fair, if we want to charge you, you should be allowed to charge us.

If no other country will let us in (except maybe refugee status if it gets to that point I suppose), then MAYBE, just MAYBE, people will begin to make forceful demands of the government and actually change things instead of checks notes blaming “trans antifa blm terrorists” for everything and ultimately saying “there’s nothing we can do”.

Remember kids: the people outnumber the government, all we have to do is literally nothing and we could cripple it entirely.

Vanilla pudding in mayo jars.

I came here to laugh, not get sad about the current state of my life.

France usually does a pretty good job of fucking shit up when the people in charge go against the populace.

I guess too few people today are actually concerned about privacy. Honestly I think it comes from a place of ignorance. They don’t understand the dangers so they don’t believe there IS danger.
