This table is actually an old sewing machine table that seems to be missing its extention (and drawers). The extension folds at the side when not in use and basically doubles the tables size when extended. Great table if you can install the extension.
Source: my mom inherited one of these tables from my great grandma. Absolutely gorgeous craftsman ship and functionality worth restoring and installing the original model of sewing machine. Nothing like them today.
Damn. Here antique sewing machine must have stopped working. For those that don’t know this is a new garbage quality (by comparison) sewing machine sitting on top the table for the old one.
The old one is probably still in it. It flips underneath for storage when not in use. Most tables have an extension that folds down at the side as well. Gives you the ability to have large blankets or quilts laid flat. Though it looks like they removed it.
I’m sure Grandma misses her old setup. The quality of the old machines were absolutely beyond most anything a consumer sewing machine could do today. All metal and no garbage plastic parts that break. Not to mention the massive foot pedal at the bottom. Never having to look down to see where that stupid plastic one slipped to.
Grandma is making due with what she has. If she still sews a lot I’m sure she’d love having her old machine fixed or replaced.
4/10 for the setup. But not much of a step up from me pulling out my sewing machine from the closet and putting it on the Kitchen table. Actually looks like the same Brother model i have. It’s one of the better brands these days. Singer consumer grade is mostly garbage.
Setup has huge potential though. Repair the older sewing machine and it’s 9/10 without any other changes. Then, add the extention, find the missing drawers for easy access to accessories and thread, and cleanup the cable management, it’s an easy 10/10 setup. 10/10 to Grandma already though for working with what she’s got.
Fuck. I’m gonna one day figure out where those reports go to and realize I’ve gotta lock down my system from myself.
Another valid use is using them to cross at a crosswalk. Much more effective than those stupid orange flags.
Google is fucking unusable as a search engine now. Bing is literally better now if you block the AI part.
Was searching for something very simple. Google literally wouldn’t find it. Changed the search terms multiple times.
Tried bing and it literally popped up as the first result with the same first search I tried on Google.
This isn’t a one time thing either. Give me an alternate to Bing. But Google is literally hot garbage now.
I don’t. But Candice is too enjoyable to watch as a guilty pleasure of mine.
I feel like you’ll make good use of this link. Check the sound for optimal results.
Fed posting ironically? Like, if you actually did this, go get help mate. If there was a video of Hitler blowing his brains out I’d watch that a total of one time and think “welp, glad he’s dead” and move on. If you’re watching a loop of a dude dying you might just have a problem.
Any action you take in organization is a positive. I ask any of my “no kings” friends to go out and find a protest or day to contribute to a DSA or PSL event (among others but those are the ones nationwide) before the next “no kings” day. If 10% the “no kings day liberals” went out and did something between now and then we’d have a massive increase in support each day. And that is a win for me. Don’t try to change the world. Change your neighborhood and find solidarity and purpose in getting others to do the same.
You don’t have to feel powerful to not feel powerless. Anyone that feels powerless hasn’t been organizing.
History is not made by the actions of “great men”. It is made by those that plant seeds for trees that they will never enjoy the shade of. Do what you are capable of doing in your community and your local organizations. Do not be disheartened by the decades in which “nothing happens” because the “weeks in which decades happen” are built upon those times.
I swear. If all the leftist online stopped sitting at home being “informed” of the world politics and just got to the weekend thinking “Damn, i need to listen to <favorite political commentator>, i was so busy organizing with <local org> that I didn’t have time”. We’d all be in a better place. And the political commentator might even start mentioning your community.
Hey, don’t do that. We need to keep pushing the meme of lefist infighting harder and harder so the CIA ops get their paycheck. Are you not considering them? Are they not exploited labor of the capitalist class too? PLEASE RECONSIDER!
Liberals (vote blue not matter who dems) are the actual conservatives. The conservatives (republican party of today and its followers) are better labeled as reactionaries. Liberals are sitting on a further right shifting world and looking at it through horseshoe theory.
I’m using a definition of “conservative” to mean maintain the status quo. Which is literal in its definition and not really based in material actions of those that say they are “conservative”. Tongue in cheek a bit i guess,
Some of us like guns. SRA members are very friendly and whether you want a place to learn the basics without MAGA hats around or you actually end up enjoying improving your skill we are here for you. Enjoying firearms is pretty fucking nerdy. The conservative firearms dudes are more interested in getting drunk and complaining about their wives while holding something that makes them feel safe. At least initially. Some of them end up enjoying it for the same reasons leftist do. Because they’re nerds. You listen to two people talk about firearms for 5 minutes and anime nerds will sound normal by comparison. I think leftist nerds could really bring some conservative gun nerds left if there were more of us.
TDLR: there are those that are firearms nerds and there are those that like owning a gun because they are afraid of going outside. Both exist on the left and right. But the former is almost exclusively right wing.
The law doesn’t matter when the punishment for breaking it cost less than the profits they make by breaking it. Even better when the punishment is never even enforced at all.
For most of human history children would be right to think this. Most people never left the town they grew up in. I think there is a bit of sad beauty to kids assuming they’ll always be friends.
Clearly in $HOME/Downloads/ and forget that you left it there. Then use app(3).AppImage the next time when you redownload it. Keeps you running the most up to date version. It’s flawless.
I rarely encounter them. But they usually work when I do. But, ugh, they’re just kinda gross. Like, is this a .exe? No thank you. Don’t give me windows trauma.
I’ve had the opposite experience with flatpaks that I have with snaps. I don’t really use them much. But when I see that as an option I use it and it just works. Definitely a fan as a USER of them. I’m sure people have their complaints as users and developers. But I definitely have to say it’s been positive so far. Which is a rare consistency in the life of installing packages.
This makes me sad Grandma probably use to sew on non plastic absolute beast of an antique Singer sewing machine. Now she’s got some crappy plastic one she probably hates ontop of the old table.
