  • You can’t go wrong with any of them, and you can buy different blades. I just checked their lineup online and “gomboy” are about where your bush saws start. I’d grab a 190mm straight blade and buy a second blade. When you are out in the woods throw a pruning blade on it, when you are in the shop try and remember to swap it for a fine tooth blade.

    The bigger you go, the less you’ll find it useful for woodworking, and the smaller, the less efficient for brush clearing. Curved blades are awesome for brush clearing and straight are my preference for woodworking.

    Just head to the store and hold them in your hand, you’ll find one you like and you won’t regret the purchase.

    Oh and personal grudge: don’t buy the “hunting” one, with the deer on it and the antler or bone coloured handle.

    1. It’s the same picture but $10-20 more
    2. You want a bright colour so if you set it down or drop it you have a hope in hell of finding it again.

    Happy trails and happy woodworking.











  • Right now I have bunch of settings saved that results in a pretty decent PLA print, but it takes ages. (Layer of .15, print speed 50-100, gyroid infill 15%. Bed 60* nozzle 210). And I tried to print a tube to put coins in and it’s 5 hours. And the threads didn’t come out great.

    Overhangs get me usually, but sometime later adhesion if I dare use the ultimate presets like “course”, even if I adjust the temp.

    Also I tried updating utlimaker to the latest version, rather than the one it comes with, and then was a disaster that lead me down a rabbit hole to Orca.

    Which was another rabbit hole that my partner had to emotionally support me through as the equivalents of “PCLOADLETTER” would trash my prints on a whim. Usually 3/4 of the way through.

    I bought this printer to print dust collector fittings and adaptors for power tools (I lead a construction team and I’m pro-safety) and I can usually get a print strong enough for the job, if not pretty.

    But I’d like pretty…I’d like to be able to fine tune a print so it’s sexy and strong and also didn’t take 16 hours… Boaty takes 20 minutes and o Looks good every time I print so I just don’t get why something not as complex and the same size takes over an hour and doesn’t come out as clean.



  • But it only supports them if their video is then also good. I don’t like clickbait, because I don’t want to be tricked into my monkey brain looking at something. I do want to see good videos.

    Just yesterday the algorithm found some guy doing tech videos. I watched a few of them and then sent a text to a friend who I thought would like it. He asked for a link so I pulled the guys channel up on my phone, and holy smokes, clickbait. If I hadn’t seen the videos already I wouldn’t have given that guy the time of day. But they are well thought out, interesting videos.

    I’m not here to correct the world’s poor behaviour. I’m here to watch good videos. De-arrow does a good job of that, it’s quite interesting to see YouTube on a computer without it vs what I’m used to now.



  • I’m using Lemmy connect and I find it… Not great. It doesn’t tell me when I have responses. I mean at all. I don’t allow push notifications. But my inbox is empty so I look at “read messages” and there’s tons there that I’ve never seen.

    Also when user post only a pic in their response, you can’t upvote it without carefully touching their tiny name with your fat thumb to reveal the buttons. And when you touch a longer post you are reading to scroll you often close it? And the tree system/order of responses and what is collapsed vs not and where they uncollapse to is unpredictable and at the very least, very what I expect…

    I guess I should not use this one…



  • I agree with you when you say “it’s who you are”.

    Do you not see a situation where someone is born and believes themselves gay (the reasons why they would think this are numerous, almost as numerous as the countless reasons people think they are straight growing up) and then after living as a gay person they come to understand themselves better and recognise that they are actually fairly straight?

    I’m not saying that’s what’s going on here, it sounds very sad and basically someone just heading back to the closet to avoid shitty people and shitty society. But questioning someone who says they are straight, or gay or bi or enby or ace or whatever, is flawed. They may be lieing, they may be confused, hiding, virtue signalling. But you don’t get to call them bi just because they said and behaved as if they were gay and now say and behaving as if they are not. Someone who used to have sex and now says they are ace isn’t lying, or wrong or akchewally…

    I don’t want this to come off as hostile, I get why you are asking. It’s a complex topic and I might be wrong.

    I think I’m explaining myself alright, but I’m open to discussion
