Tepid, almost non-existant coverage of #handsoff by cable and network media.

Compare and contrast.

When the asinine #teaparty loons and fools like sarah palin had events, more 'news media' showed up to cover it than there were participants. Pathetic.

The non-stop 'reporting' of these crackpots filled the airwaves for months. Disgusting.

Corporate media news #journalismIsDead and has been for generations - they are #tools of the oligarchs and plutocrats.

I live in the US, and while I like metric, and a lot of what I work on or build these days involves metric hardware, I don't have a lot on hand. It's EXPENSIVE here. So, when occasionally I find these strings of sealed hardware in a thrift store, it's a treasure. I suspect they're parts kits from flatpack, freight damaged goods, and most times, they're all metric. I only paid a buck for this one (several bags already opened). What a treasure!

A connected chain of clear plastic bags, each with a handful of metric screws in different sizes and lengths, sealed inside.
Wooden shelves with recycled plastic jars(mostly mayonnaise or peanut better jars) containing sorted hardware. The most visible shelf has jars marked M10/M12, M8, M6, M5, M4, M3. None of them are remotely full. Also, my hand printing in black permanent is terrible.

Loooolllll: "DOGE Mandates Power Tool Manufacturers Use Single Battery Platform" - protoolreviews.com/doge-mandat

Good luck with that: "DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency) has directed both the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to mandate that all power tool manufacturers in the United States adopt a single, universal battery platform. Even more stunning, DOGE has tapped Positec, the parent company of Worx, Rockwell Tools, and Kress, as the manufacturer to eliminate the current state of “battery chaos.”"

This was definitely thought up by a nerd who went to use his Milwaukee drill and only had Makita battery and was mad he had to buy a $150 battery.

ON TRIAL - not me, these powerful STIGA SC100e pruning shears. Apologies for the lack of make-up and messy hair but you get to see how these loppers work, enabling me to tackle jobs I thought were beyond me! Thanks to STIGA and Rabbit Attack PR.

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.

And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!

The mallet I made two years ago from firewood logs is returning to its original purpose, splitting after lots of hard use.

Made a new head from green applewood. Heard somewhere it's clever to make the handle from dry and the head from green wood so the head shrinks onto the handle. We'll find out if this works. I suspect it might just crack. Or shrink away from the handle. Time will tell.

Anyways, I can whack stuff again!

A largeish wooden mallet made from two birch pieces. The handle is fine but the head is splitting apart, pieces cracked off already and the core is starting to come out of the log. It looks well worn and got a bit dirty from use.
The same handle, now without the broken head. Next to it a piece of apple log of suitable size, debarked about two thirds with an old but sharpened draw knife that lies amongst a pile of bark shavings. The whole setup is on a plank table outdoors. Hidden in the shavings is a piece of steel wedged in the crack between two planks, serving as bench dog to keep the log from sliding as the draw knife pulls on it.
