I wanted to avoid water propping it because of the tough transition back to soil (and because it would be quite a long cutting, I was worried it might drop leaves). That’s why I wanted to try air layering :)

That’s an interesting idea, I like it! I hope I remember this if I ever have to make another one!

No glue or screws, I just made cuts about halfway down on each piece where they intersect so that they slot into each other. Since the cuts were imprecise, I used a chisel to take off material until it fit nicely.

There are the 5 pieces going vertically, slotting into the one horizontal one each at the top and bottom. It’s easiest if you clamp all the identical pieces together when you make the cuts and fine adjustments, that way you don’t have to cut every piece individually. :)

Thanks! :)

Yes, it’s very gratifying!

It is intentionally facing different directions since it’s a different type of cutlery! But I can see how it might bother you ;)

It’s great, seriously. We have been dealing with a chaotic drawer for a year, I bought the wooden strip a year ago too but never had the time and energy to actually make this 🙈

Being able to make it perfectly fit our cutlery and drawer is just the cherry on top. 😌

On some level yes, but ultimately the worst cases of poorly invested time make me learn to spend my time better, so it wasn’t entirely wasted - I like to think of it as a learning experience.

What I am more concerned about is subtle time wasting, sprinkled all throughout daily life in the form of various technologies and media mainly. It’s so hard to get a feeling for how much time you are really spending there and it’s even harder to escape it.

So cool and strange looking at the same time, thanks for sharing!

Have to agree, it’s a funny story but charging someone a stupidity rate for nonexistent work isn’t justified by that person being stupid and a pain in your ass. Unless your circumstances force you, you can always just refuse work from customers like this. So many people downvoting this is disappointing.

They look delicious, do you have a photo of the crumb? 😍

I always love the “now in the British Museum” line… Interesting how things end up there! 😐

Unless you don’t know that ^ means Ctrl 🥲

By this logic, you want a complete monopoly of a single platform? Because that’s the only possible way to have “no barrier”. Unless GitHub starts federating with some kind of standardized protocol. This is a huge technological and monetary barrier for GitHub, which is why it will never happen on its own, so if users are not willing to try platform-independent workflows then the problem is frankly not the competing platforms.

This is only true for the merge request workflow and not at all a problem for the patch workflow, which can work entirely via email (and is in my eyes simpler). Have a look at https://git-send-email.io/ if you want to learn about it. This is the true decentralized spirit of git. :)

There are many good replacements, you just need to stop using Github :)

Some examples: Forgejo/Gitea (self-host or hosted eg. codeberg.de), Gitlab (self-host or hosted), Sourcehut (self-host or hosted eg. sr.ht)

How has nobody said the meat and cheese yet? Besides the sauce of course. But there is a mountain of research about the health risks of meat and dairy consumption, from elevating cancer risk to heart disease etc:

• https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-does-meat-affect-longevity/
• https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dairy-and-cancer/

There are transcripts and citations available at those links, as well as a lot more information about other topics. Since these are huge industries, there is a lot of money put in bogus research and advertising to show apparent health benefits and downplay risks, but the scientific consensus looks very different.

At least in the IzzyOnDroid Repo, not in the official F-Droid repo :)

It asks whether you want to enable sentry at first start and you can enable/disable it anytime in the settings too. I’d also like a tracker-free version on F-Droid long term, but for now this is okay for me personally.

That is answered in the original post, the author is just doing this for fun and learning. :)
