Switch to the mid 90s when we had to memorize all the 16 variations of "der" at age 12, because we had to take German as our third language.

What places are best for a first tatto in your opinion? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Best tattoos are done in prisons. Those are the tattoos with depth and meaning. Much more organic than store bought tattoos. The tattoo artist has a bond to their tools, as they've crafted the tools themselves and they mix the ink right in your cell. And besides, anyone can get a tattoo, but you will have a tattoo with a story and real price. Imagine instead of going oh that? I got that tat because I was bored and had spending cash, you can say I got that tat when I was locked up for robbing Wendy's with an alligator, the infection almost cost me my arm, but it was worth it

Obviously that was all /s but somehow I think I need to point it out.

The only cool part I thought was looking through the binocular things and spying on other tourists. I was an odd kid whatever

Yes, that is indeed extremely strange behavior. I don't believe that it has ever been reported before /s

I have all the autodesk products available in software center from my job. Decided to give fusion a try, as it includes what was once eagle as well as enough 3d for my use... Online only? Where file? No offline stl because conversion is done online? GTFO! I'm back to using inventor and an ancient eagle version.

During the warmest and driest summers as a kid I've been bitten by ladybugs looking for water. Also this one time, a ladybug hid inside a Lay's bugle. The foul odor? It's also present when you crush one in your mouth.

Looking for suggestions of how to make this bathroom seem bigger and more inviting in c/funny@sh.itjust.works
[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

My thought exactly.

We have a cluster of toilets at work, where the toilets are too close to the wall for you to wipe. But it's only on one side, the other side is fine, and it's alternating sides (because of plumbing).

I've considered putting up signs saying "left hand wipe toilet", because being right handed and not realizing the issue before splash down sucked.

Sources of product information (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm looking for a source of product status ect. Specifically AAE products at the moment, but preferably more universal than that. Does anyone know of a blog or other source, that congregates this info?

Background (rant) for asking:

At present I'm looking for vanes for my target recurve kid. Got told by the gurus at the range/club, that flex fletch ffp 187 was a good choice, so I ordered ffp 187 no-prep. Just to get an email back from the local shop, that ffp 187 no-prep was discontinued. And they suggested AAE wav, gas pro naca 200 performance (or spin wings, but the coaches don't want us to go for spin wings at the present)

OK, fine, I can see that JVD (my local shop's wholesaler) only carries one color of ffp 187 no-prep now. But then another kid at the club was shooting AAE hybrid shield 185, and all of a sudden those are being discontinued as well. So I've tried ordering AAE wav ... to the be told by the same gurus what wav was probably also discontinued. But I can't find any announcements, just dwindling stock at the wholesaler level.

I don't know much about archery, but I know that I don't want to fletch a dozen shafts, just to then learn that once the clicker-side vanes are used up, then we're SOL.

What is the ultimate ILF riser for recurve? (sh.itjust.works)
 

If money wasn't an issue, what ILF riser would you get for olympic recurve?

This is both meant as a thought experiment, but also as me picking your brains as a starting point for picking a new riser for someone.

Personally I like the Wiawis integrated dampeners of the ATF-DX or Meta DX. And the insert in the ATF-DX fitting, so you don't ruin the entire riser if you're stringing it wrong, does have some appeal.

But what do you think? Any Gillo fans here? Anyone want to try convincing the rest of us that formula is a superior fitting, and that we should tie the knot with Hoyt?

How do I plane an installed slate countertop? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Simply put, our slate countertops are uneven, creating issues in daily activities. I've considered using an angle grinder with a grinding disc, but I'm hesitant. Seeking advice on practical solutions for making installed slate slabs even.

The slabs in question varies in thickness by at least ±6mm, in some spots the extremes are within 80mm of each other.

Flooded chickens (sh.itjust.works)
 

We had a bit of rain these few days. 110ish mm over the last 14 days, 25 of which decided to check in on us yesterday. So our run got flooded.

Not having the space for a truck load of woodchips, nor the time to spare, I got a couple of 23kg bales of sawdust. BTW .6USD pr kg for sawdust, what's wrong with the world?

The chickens were quite perplexed as to the bale when it arrived, and definitely not sold on it either when I had spread it out, pic in comments. I'm going to see how it works before spreading another one.

Usually I don't have to pump water from this area before November, but I guess that life ain't fair and the world is mean, so we started the pump this morning. Next 5 months (we'll I guess it'll be 6 months if luck be) we'll be pumping about 26m^3 from this area daily.

There's a Danish children's song that starts with something like "The farmer is always busy on his farm" and then lists the chores. I wonder why I that was stuck in my head as I wandered about the hardware store looking for bedding material.

What to do with a large amount of blackberries? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I am the lucky owner of a 20m blackberry hedge. Last years yield was about 15kg and thus year looks to be the same.

But here's the thing, 15kg is far too much to make jam of, so last year I experimented with wine. I got this kit https://brew2bottle.co.uk/products/better-brew-hedgerow-wine-kit-23l and just followed the instructions. And it was a great success, everyone who's tasted it have even been to nice to say it was bad or have actually complimented the wine. But I still have half the wine left and now it's time for 2023s harvest.

I'm still considering wine, jam and some juice but... What would you do with a lot of blackberries?

Youtube suggested this video for me. And I have never seen anything like it. My wife heard my exclamation and agreed with a "what the fork".

So my question to you, dear reader, is this: wtf, is this real?

Edit: "is" had become "us"

You guys have BLACK raspberries? I hardly have any red at all (sh.itjust.works)
 

We relocated the raspberries last fall, and then promptly forgot about them. What would probably amount to 5m of shrubs, is now covered in stinging nettles and various other weeds. We managed to not even pick enough to cover the bottom of the steam juicer (on the left). It came out at just shy of 2dL, which was promptly sweetened and hardened with gelatin.
