Me after reading this thread.

Fuck, am I depressed?

I was planning on setting this up soon, but I heard they’ve been incorporating AI into it. Any reason you’d choose Calibre over Booklore?

80% of tools and tasks take about 20% more effort to get set up how I’d like them, which is fine - and even usually better because I can customize it more. However 20% of tools and tasks take 8,000% more effort to even work correctly, and I give up on half of them.

Actions at MSP and a walk from The Commons -> Target center.

Every gift I gave at Christmas this year was at least partially made by me.

That’s amazing, I want to get to the point where that’s how my gift giving is, wood-based or otherwise.

I made some garden beds, a knife handle, and a bowl (at a lathe class).

There are other ways to get fiber!

But serious- awesome! I’d love to improve my woodworking skills too. What have you made so far?

But trains will

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir donned a new golden pin in the shape of a noose during the panel to advance the death penalty for terrorists bill, initiated by his Oztma Yehudit Party, at the Knesset’s National Security Committee on Monday.

Basically, he’s advocating for the death penalty for ‘terrorists’ (read: Palestinians they capture).

I made no purchases. I don’t need much more than groceries and I have leftovers still for a few days.

Agreed, just trying to explain what I saw to othes.

The leaky bucket caused the row of flowers to grow.

Moral is something like, ‘even if you think you’re failing at a task, your benefit is simply not being measured / seen.’

I am not a fan of guns at all. I wish we had Australia’s gun policies. Are a lot of leftists moving to the right on guns?

My hopes / wishes for the new Stargate show:

• That they remember SG characters care about the wellbeing of creatures regardless of identity and stand up for the underdog. They wrestle with moral dilemmas and work towards a better tomorrow.
• That they remember that fantastical stories are good when they are grounded in rules (no magical solutions). When puzzles can be solved with the tools available, it’s a good Stargate show.
• Jokes and campiness make Stargate Stargate; but meeting a 1 joke per minute quota isn’t the way. (Don’t be a Marvel wanna-be)
• Sell physical media to be purchased

I’m in the US…

Happy to help plan something though, or add a Zoom / virtual equivalent.

Not sure, we could work to organize one?
