#the handles are not ergonomic

[songofwizardry]

i've thought about this long and hard and i have decided on a way to improve the world: all cafes should serve their hot drinks in proper mugs instead of those squat little teacups. more space to hold the receptacle and more coffee per serving, sounds like a win-win situation to me

Look, she's paralysed and won't really get in the way of Mechi's work around the colony. Mechi gets a psylink neuroformer, and Angst gets to spend nineteen days facing a bleak white wall in the corner of the laboratory. Win-win!

A distress signal? How curious. Archotechnology is always tempting...

Mechi went to investigate with Chief of Security Ratchet and Deputy Rocket, only to discover the place was crawling with gross flesh. They left with zero archotechnology and a renewed disgust for all things biological.

Finally, everyone meet Hummel, the newest wild man on the map. He looks like the world's most irate, washed-up foxboy. I love him.

Everyday im haunted by how they made the first female doctor's sonic look like a fucking sex toy on accident. Like yeah sonics are kind of phallic but why does the 13th doctors sonic look like something you'd get on an adult website. Perhaps from the sci fi section

things i have learned in the last 24 hours:

i love crutches so much. i haven't felt freedom like this since the 3 hour ramble hike I did last year, the week before I stopped being able to walk

I am as short as the short motherfucker in tom cardy's perception check song (154cm)

nice (here meaning: non-medical looking) crutches are expensive

non-medical appearance crutches that actually have the 29inch/74 cm height that I use, may simply not exist.

a set of non-medical looking crutches with shock absorb ferrule and ergonomic grip that can sit at my precise 29in/74cm are my moby dick now

captain ahab I understand you on a visceral level once again

caved in and bought a cane because i just have to accept the fact that standing and walking feel Very Not Good For Me so i'm gonna want one for my upcoming trip.

cons: makes me feel miserable about my declining health, don't like the undue attention it public it might draw

pros: i bought a cute one at least

The article on "The Armory Life" presents a review of the CRKT CEO knife, written by Randall Chaney. The author, who transitioned from law enforcement to a more corporate role, discusses the suitability of the CRKT CEO knife as an everyday carry (EDC) for those in an office setting. The knife, crafted by custom bladesmith Richard Rogers, is noted for its refined and discreet design, which aligns well with professional attire. The CEO's low-profile styling includes a slender structure with glass-reinforced nylon scales, a 3.1-inch blade made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, and a sophisticated Ikoma Korth Bearing System for smooth blade deployment. The knife features a subtle thumb stud for slow dual-hand opening, preventing any dramatic displays, and a deep-carry pocket clip for discretion. Priced at $45, this knife offers style, functionality, and affordability, making it an appealing choice for corporate environments. Randall Chaney finds that the CRKT CEO excels in daily office tasks and appreciates its blend of efficiency, elegance, and value.

finally decided my pains bad enough that im "allowed" to get forearm crutches 😭

theres definitely a learning curve for using them efficiently and not accidentally hitting things with them, but i can tell theyll be way better for my pain in the long run! i can put way much more weight on them than my cane, even when im using only one! (i also like the flexibility of being able to use just one on normal days but use 2 on bad pain days)

ok i don't do normal new year's resolutions so my resolution for 2024 is to crochet myself a dress

[newtness532]

of course they brought me the yarn when i decided it's time to focus on studying lol

[exculis]

i like knitting way more than crocheting and yet i own way more crochet hooks. fascinating.

[invinciblerodent]

listening to this lady talk about crochet stuff, halfway zoned out, and she suddenly said "I'd like to be firmly stuffed"

the way my ears just perked up

i had to rewind and see what she meant, but I kinda prefer this statement without context.

yeah, I mean.... me too girl, sure

We had guests actively choose the air mattress and sofa over our Berlin-Wall era, cheap, folding couch in the guest room, so we figured that particular hole-riddled tetanus vector full of rusty staples had lived its best life and was ready for recycling. We looked at Ikea beds we liked, and then went online to find a used one. Wife liked Brimnes.

Now, we have owned this bed's big brother. We left it at our last apartment because assembling it damn near made my FIL cut ties with us, three pages into the manual. The handles have ripped open my shins many, many times. They don't just peel the skin off, they bruise while they do so. Being aware of the fact that it happens changes NOTHING to your chance of injury. Assembling the handles upside down, ditto. If there's one series I could purge from Ikea's product line, it would be Brimnes.

But I love my wife more than I hate Brimnes handles. And this one is way easier to assemble than the double-size one. So we both put on our big girl panties, and compromised. We would look for a Brimnes bed, on purpose. And we were doing literally anything else then putting the original handles on.

Within a month, she found a Ye Olde Craigslist seller who agreed to sell us a third-hand bed with two minor blemishes for €279 off its minimum €329-without-shipping-it-home in-store price. With the slightly better mattress option that costs €70 more. And with 3 sets of fitted sheets for the mattresses included. (Disney princesses summon songbirds, mine summons affordable used furniture.) Our fate sealed, I went online, and before looking to spend more money, checked if anyone had perhaps designed an alternate handle to be 3D printed.

Dear reader, if you look for Brimnes on thangs.com today, you find 2 absolute terrors who recreated the OG handles, though one of them says it's for a different piece of furniture than the bed and might be unaware of the danger they're in. You also get 1 person who designed a cover for the handles, to be printed in the softest TPU money can buy. And you get 3 people actively damning the bed's murder handles in their model descriptions and offering a completely different, non-gouging design to attach with the original holes and screws provided. (We went with Aldan4uk's.)

when i'm empress of the universe, all powered hand tools (drills, angle grinders, etc) will have two parallel flat sides so you can easily clamp them in a vice. and when you set a drill down or hold it against a square or wall or w/e, the spindle will be parallel with the work surface
