I'm gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

So like, is Ween not on here because they're off the charts horny?

Really sucks Cabot has gotten so expensive from the terrifs, it's so much better than the store brand stuff.

I wouldn't be angry if we got a little more serious and started doing this to ICE vehicles

It did matter, making them take measurements all over again was the part that fucked with them.

Ha! Gonna let my old boss know. We also did sheet metal fabrication, but very rarely did things need to be accurate to a 1/32nd

I worked for a bit as a high end roofer (USA), this is the first I'm hearing about different classes of measuring tape. We always used Stanley fatmax tapes, and so did just about every carpenter we worked with. I wonder how accurate that tape is?

I assume it was pretty accurate because we would always fuck with the new guys when they drew a cut line and asked what side of the line your supposed to cut from.

I think it's cool if you take it far enough for it to become anarchism, but if there's still property it just becomes an excuse for exploitation.

I feel like creator content isn't about quality, but form. People watch the same TV shows from decades ago because they are familiar. Creator content is kinda like that, it's cozy. It's something you can just put on and zone out to. It's interesting and entertaining, but it's not very intense. Its usually people sharing their passions, so it feels very human and relatable too.

But also there's probably something to be said about how much it cost to get started on YouTube vs how much it cost to produce a TV show or movie.

Those get clogged up on pre patinad copper unfortunately, and a sharpie does not work well on black prefa unless you are trying to hide a scratch. sharpie also doesn't always wipe off well.

When I was doing roofing the pica dry mechanical pencils made things so much better. Sure a pencil works good on wood, but what about when I have to mark gray sheet metal? You need something that comes with different colors.
