Ah, I forgot we were talking about vintage furniture. Bad paint sucks but people have got to get over this obsession with looking at wood. Color is fun and not every piece of wood is imbued with sacred beauty.

I need a link. I must see this natural great looking wood for myself, though I know it to be pine and spruce from a pallet
Totally. My gender is long red beard. If that’s “man” in someone’s eyes, fine.
Sorry, Edgcumb Pinchon?
I’m a big fan of this style of hollow wall anchor: https://toggler.com/products/snaptoggle-heavy-duty-toggle-bolts-zinc-plated-carbon-steel-channels Like the butterfly you describe, but the non-structural plastic bit keeps it in the wall while you get a bolt into it. The steel toggle is stronger than the folding type.
Even with the larger anchor however, there’s some chance that the wallboard is damaged, either as a result of the anchor failure, or as a cause of it. If it doesn’t feel sound, I like dem bosain’s idea of fastening a 1x4 to studs, then mounting the radiator the 1x4. What do you call those outside of burgerland? 20x95?
Argh I’ve got a 2017 with the dumb battery that also needs the proprietary SSD replaced. I was going to replace them but it’s so time consuming so I bought new, and now I feel bad and it’s just sitting in the corner un-fixed.
Some guy is writing the names “Esau” “Amalek”, “Isaac” etc in sharpie all over the neighborhood; I’m sure this is about Palestine but I can’t put together if they’re trying to say “we must destroy the children of Amalek” or “this is a religious war that cannot be explained or solved by political processes” or “Israel is fighting a war on the premise of Jewish supremacy as shown by all this biblical nonsense”.
I wasn’t really curious about the explanation until they wrote “Esau” on my door. I don’t know if they chose my door because I have a Palestine sign in the window or because my door has a gloss enamel surface that’s very attractive as a sharpie substrate (it was very easy to clean off at least). Am I being threatened?

But [Palestinian medical workers], they are working on a daily basis on the most horrific, explosive trauma that you’ve ever seen. They’re doing sometimes 14, 15 amputations, mostly on children, per day, and they’ve been doing it for six months now.
Right? Is the vomit emoji an ancient anti Semitic trope?
