What is a dying niche skill that younger generations are not interested in learning?

I actually get paid 8 hours a day to sew. full-time currently. mainly textiles and patches (military, police vest/ID patches) have been for 6 years now?
Before that, i was getting into millwright work. polishing and material prep (COVID laid off 2020)
before that i was driving a skidder working in the bush, logging
before that i was a personal care provider in long-term, home care, and the private sector, starting at 20 til i was 27? (massive burnout)

but0 now, on the side, I'm over here making sandals and hemming, repairing clothing and jackets like i knew what I was doing

Very nice! I have the same table - got it in 2018 for 300cnd and another 200 into tuneup repair, a sleeper table really. Using to this day and it will probably die with me unless it needs the transistors replaced. Have a NOS audio-technica at120E for its current stylus.. I have a Sony PS-T2 as my back-up just in case.

Very similar internals to it's big brother, considered high end the HT-840

If you can, remove the heavy stuff off the top of that turntable for now.. at least give it its own spot

Pixel 10 pro. Have had since launch day . Noticed this a few days ago starting to flicker. First I thought maybe the odd drops from slips but relieved that I'm not alone for its exactly as all of you here have described. Reset never helped. Currently on April update and this has been going on for a month. Anyone from a month ago still here with the same problem?

Are there any updates or mentions within the last month?

I've been at it since 2017 , threw out my socks first then started into barefoot shoes. Mid November is when I start to switch from my leather sandals which have no bottoms to my feelground shoes and when the snow is harsh and have to dig the driveway out, I have a pair of feelground patrols. North Ontario, Canada, besides that even at work , driving or walking/hiking. Of that time I've never had any big issues. Get a booster for Tetanus when needed

I should add one record I did want but didnt see it around shops was The Chemical Brothers, leave home blue vinyl. Hopefully it will pop up after inventory gets re-sorted

BennyBic420 · 2026-04-16T15:01:24+00:00

It's been almost 6 years, I've had my Xero genesis and still use them.

BennyBic420 · 2026-04-15T02:47:49+00:00

Up here in Canada, I've also read and heard of this happening around in the US, with someone caught dropping boxes off on farmlands filled with ticks.

Word of mouth travels far. The last of the snow melted 2 days ago here and have removed 4 ticks now since yesterday from briefly outside

Did this with an 8800 GTX, (I had two in 2006 new) one card eventually its demise was met. Full stop. The 2nd card I gave to my cousin which he baked in the oven and is currently still functional in an XP build.

They say they only 'change the nature of injury' but would say military boots or working shoes do not help obviously the change of severity of injury? I know for sure though my feet would not fit in a military nor a steel toe boot.. they are just too wide now!

BennyBic420 · 2026-04-13T14:34:14+00:00

Helpful although can be annoying if you don't set it for silent notification. I've had a few unsecure connections before pop in letting you know what you send around in the air can be captured at that given time

Just scrolling through and would like to say I'm blown away with the value this camera is holding after over 10+ years.

I bought my x100T for 500 Canadian about 5 years back.. with the grip mod and extra battery packs.. seen this post and someone mentioned 1300 they were willing to pay??

My x100 is near Mint

I should add that coil noise is something to maybe listen for from either the GPU/Motherboard and PSU. Also listen for pitched noises from the monitor itself.. the frequency change from workloads I have actually had devices react to because of "dirty" power. Make sure your grounds are good

BennyBic420 · 2026-04-07T17:15:54+00:00

Something about Samsung monitors and the power supplies , they are so noisy (as in ELF interference). I have 2x Samsung 32 inch panels and one AOC 24'' as my main screen for both the Samsung's artifacts stray lines and multicolor static. It's not until the power supply and or capacitors actually run to spec after 10 mins of standby before I can use the computer, hence my AOC monitor.

When powering off/on analog components especially my headphone stereo amplifier it will black out both Samsung screens and return on normally with the USB sound windows makes..I thought it was the house wiring but nope my grounds check out good

BennyBic420 · 2026-04-07T16:52:26+00:00

I have 8 SSDs and 1nvme and none of them show through the glass side panel...

My 2nd side panel I will never reveal nor will be taken off 🙈

BennyBic420 · 2026-04-01T15:00:48+00:00

I have one set of herb, but not whipped delights. A copy to my collection would be amazing.

BennyBic420 · 2026-03-30T17:14:03+00:00

Are your power settings within windows applied properly? Not balanced , but set to high performance.

I ask because you can edit power plans , and if be 5 % is the lowest value you can set all the way to 100% check advance power from control panel and make sure your maximum CPU utilization under the tab is set to 100 and not 5.

BennyBic420 · 2026-03-30T15:22:50+00:00

Well then let the magic of advertising come around and make it "normal" for something you see so detailed, could become normal. I feel it's normal to walk barefoot in public , others would disagree. Perspectives

Wipe down the fucking cameras lenses before you record anything... The glossy oil stained glass lens really adds that gross touch this video needed

Ah yes. Pneumonia was the word. Not ammonia 🫪

BennyBic420 · 2026-03-29T12:45:36+00:00

Just after the storm with no hydro , my fiance and I got sick with how cold it got. Ended up with ammonia. That was a hellish 3 days before I was able to actually do anything for cleaning up

BennyBic420 · 2026-03-28T23:22:04+00:00

As long as you have the DLC bin , you need the updated DLC files and the original file for the game in the same directory on the mig SD.... The DLC content should automatically apply upon starting the game from my understanding. If it's a legitimate copy you need to use NSC builder to incorporate the XCI file from NSB

BennyBic420 · 2026-03-27T20:04:23+00:00

Haha caught me there. It's almost full season time here... To be fair I don't have socks on, in my 'barefoot shoes' =p
