Yeah I'm totally sure the Brits didn't break a single thing shipping artifacts to their big fancy museum. Let's ignore all the mummies Europeans ground up into powder and ingested as "medicine". Savagely eating dead humans with the same mouths that say brown people are too savage to take care of their own artifacts.

Interesting solution 👍 Curious to see how this plays out!

De Lancie on the W. C. ...nah doesn't have a nice ring to it.

Fair points. I'm warming up to the idea of making votes public so that people don't have a false sense of privacy. I wish votes were actually private, but maybe it's not a big deal if your account can't be easily traced back to you in real life.

ActivityPub can't evolve? Is there some insurmountable technical blocker?

I suspected this would be an issue and have avoided voting on controversial posts. But if everyone did as I do, there would be no open discussions about pressing topics.

It's confusing enough understanding how federation works for the less technically inclined. I don't think we should also expect them to figure out which instance is privacy-conscious. Privacy of votes should be baked into Lemmy. Even kbin users shouldn't be able to see it.

If users want to advertise their approval/disapproval of posts they can use public comments in tandem with private votes.

Incidently, I used the painter's tape today for the first time! Worked just fine :)

It's probably supposed to be a Godzilla-like creature.

Protip: leave some cheese near the crust and eat the crust lengthwise. Tada! You got cheesy bread.

Don't give them ideas. If they had a reasonable number of ads, it wouldn't be a problem, but they are absolutely out of control.

 

Just came across this 🤣🤣🤣

 

Using the bit driver as a tape dispenser for painter's tape (blue) and gorilla tape (black).

I trimmed a plastic straw down to size and also slit it lengthwise and placed it over the bit driver. Then I wrapped it with two kinds of tape. The straw allows it to freely rotate as I pull the tape off.

Inspired by this video (skip to 22:00) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L65HqVkWYxo

The gorilla tape is thick so I can't get a lot on there. I may replace it with cellulose tape or just more painter's tape. I might also slide another straw over the tape to protect it.

DIY Kevlar Bracelet (lemmy.world)

  • 5 feet of kevlar line that can be unraveled near instantly.
  • Easily and quickly made back into a bracelet after use.
  • Stop bullets with bracelet like Wonder Woman. Just kidding.

Kevlar line is tough enough to be used as a friction saw. It can cut through a tree! It can also carry a stupid amount of weight for such a thin diameter. I used a 1.6 mm diameter line with 400 lbs strength.

I decided to keep this bracelet to 5 ft for jobs that don't require lots of cordage, but you can make it any length.

Here's a past post of some Paracord versions I've made with links on how to make them.

Note: Kevlar can't be melted, so knotting the ends is required to prevent fraying.

I wear hayanwa "fast rope" bracelets every day, so I made them in different colors to coordinate with my outfits. These bracelets allow 6 yards of 95 Paracord to be quickly and easily deployed with a simple tug.

I was inspired by a video by MeZillch, but with some tweaks I came up with, most notably being a pre-tied handcuff loop for hojojutsu and an aglet to help thread the stopper knot.

ETA: This video shows how to fit 6 yards of cordage in the bracelet.

 

Gravitational force is never truly zero. If it has mass, it is pulling at you, though it may be so close to zero that you don't realize it.

This first one could almost be a "wimmelbilder" piece, i.e. a variation on Where's Waldo? (hmm, could be a good theme for a future post)

In any case, Stella's a freelance artist & cartoonist I recently discovered. By her own admission she's still growing as an artist, for example in handling lighting, but I'm liking what I'm seeing already:

Here's her ArtStation and Tumbler.
