    Squirrel Debarker

    years ago now my parents found a crossbow bolt sticking out of their shed, and knocked on the neighbour's door thinking maybe one of his sons (probably around 12 and 14 at the time) were responsible and they ought to let him know. and he sheepishly admitted he'd done it himself trying to shoot a...

    3D PRINTING

    i have a few friends who have gone deep down the 3d printing hole, a few hobbyists but also a pair who have gotten into it at their jobs (a machine shop and a dental appliance manufacturer of all places). currently the great values in 3d printing technology to me seem to be 1. the ability to...

    What the bananas

    the freexion tether is a short dyneema webbing sling that's been folded over on itself and sewn down then given clear heatshrink, so the overall length after being girth hitched to a pulley is 18cm with the top 5cm stiff. i assumed that loop on the tether would be for tending as well but the...

    it looks like biden is whiffing 2024 pretty hard. 100,000 votes in the michigan primary for uncommitted, thats two-thirds of the margin he won the popular vote there by in 2020. i dont think he can survive that on election day. the executive board of ufcw 3000 in washington state just endorsed...

    Frozen Wasps

    An old coworker cut down a bald faced hornet nest he found in a tree at work one winter and brought it to his wife, a teacher, so she could show it to her kids. However the nest was not abandoned as he thought, and after a warm night indoors the hornets started emerging

    Best choice for hardy visual barrier/privacy screen in Northeast PA?

    How's the planting location, you say the guy has his truck parked right along the property line so is it asphalt along where your friend wants to plant? Which way does water flow? Eastern white cedar can take a bit of salt but then you're at risk of damage from deer browsing. Yews are great for...

    No winter?

    Ottawa wasn't able to open the Rideau for skating last year at all because they didn't get enough ice, this year they were able to get ten days total and they called an end to the season last night. They're looking at ways to try and shoot slush into the canal in late fall to try and build...

    What the bananas

    its a ball lock pin. this one is machined with a flange so its captive in the device and you can't pull it out without disassembling the cheek plates. most ball lock pins have the ball bearings towards the end of the pin opposite the button, if you found one the right length it might work with...

    the institutional investors have the same goal, making money and can afford to throw a fraction of their resources behind one of the ideas to get there: cynical lipservice to inclusivity. vanguard group and blackrock arent a marxist fifth column

    it hasnt been taught anything of the sort, its been programmed by software engineers trying to make a product not teachers trying to prepare children for life. those engineers have been given guidelines by their bosses to try and build what they consider an economically 'safe' product, one which...

    EAB Infested firewood

    we bagged up various invasive weeds in black plastic bags one year thinking it would solarize them effectively, but ironically the black plastic protected the contents from the sun allowing seeds and rhizomes to survive weeks of 30+ celsius daytime temps. even had a snapping turtle tear a bag...

    Funny typo in an ad

    it was the mars climate orbiter mission in 1999, nasa specified in their tender to use metric but lockheed martin provided software using u.s. customary units. nasa didnt double check the provided software, resulting in the probe which was intended to orbit mars calculating thrust in foot pound...

    clearly we're labouring under different understandings of the term because if anyone asks me those are all social norms

    you know, things like why are people treated differently for looking different, or having a different religion, or doing different jobs, or having bodies or brains that work differently or cant do things. plenty of social norms there to interrogate. equitable and just solutions? learning to try...

    indeed, we should accept social norms unquestioningly, embrace inequity, and seek unfair and unjust solutions
