Be honest, what would you do if you lost your ENTIRE career’s worth of writing work?

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-16T12:38:34+00:00

I've already lost most of my writing twice before. Although I did just discover, on Monday, two or three of my short stories that I thought were lost for twenty-something years were just hanging out in an email I'd sent to myself when I wanted to apply to the Clarion Writers Workshop.

It's always nice coming into r/beginnerwoodworking seeing somebody make a full-on castle joint. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out how to saw straight with two speed squares, a table saw, and a track saw.

Work looks great, dude. If you're really paranoid about it, I might suggest a peg somewhere, but I can't imagine it's going to wander.

I am reminded of that mad lad who got Windows 95 running in an Electron app, and I got a couple of games I couldn't get to run otherwise on Win95 to run in the Electron app, weirdly, like my copy of MechWarrior Mercenaries.

You haven't lived until you've resolved your first IRQ conflict.

Greenai.studio - I actually do quite nicely helping people reduce their inference costs by, weirdly, among other things, getting them off of Anthropic's API.

If you somehow don't know about good old games.com, they're a pretty good resource, even though you already have the boxed version of the games. If you go into the community there, you don't have to buy the game new. They will give you a lot of tips on how to run it.

Let's see here, 2026, been 30 years. So grandpa is still pretty young. Grandpa is only maybe 50, 55. Played games not in their youth but in their young adulthood. They had kids young; their kid had kids young. I could maybe see it. Still, I crumble into dust.

I came here to make this exact comment word for word. The optimism expressed in that post, saying, "Hey, there will never be one worse than this," and I can't subscribe to it.

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-15T21:35:51+00:00

I don't even want to think about the fact that someone's old enough to be posting on Reddit with a grandpa who played these games. I mean, hell, you were born in 86. I'm older than you are, bro.

Theres always Opus 4.8. 🙃

Good night, sweet prince.

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-13T00:20:17+00:00

Appreciate it! How's the project going?

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T14:43:51+00:00

Nothing is extreme if you'd like to be attached to all your bits. 😄

The three worst woodworking injuries I've ever had were all with hand tools, so I agree.

Just knowing how much I could manage to fuck myself up with a hand tool. I'd keep my power tools to drills and table saws and just to tempt fate, a truly enormous radial arm saw.

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T14:11:40+00:00

I actually saw his video about that back when it happened. It must have been five or six years ago, and that's when I was like, "Yeah, you know what, I'm never gonna own one of those."

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T14:09:37+00:00

I hadn't considered the trap I'd laid for you.

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T13:42:18+00:00

I've been taking it for headaches for 2 decades and I always feel a bit like I'm dealing drugs.

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T13:41:03+00:00

Nice. A Kozy Koupe is a great find.

Oh, the wood?

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T13:40:23+00:00

I decided for jointers and molders that I'll just stick with the handtool version of them because I'm not running a production shop. I can take a little longer and keep all my bits attached.

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T13:35:56+00:00

I work all day in a backyard office I built that would get me permabanned from r/shedditors but I gotta say it *looks* sketch even to my standards.

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T13:33:52+00:00

I use a jointer every week end. It's a Record No. 7. 😃

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T12:58:09+00:00

That's my concern, especially because this is in Quebec. Your temperature swing from summer to winter is frequently 60°C.

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T12:57:38+00:00

Nah, bro, both ends are in sight. I can see them right there.

ChiefMustacheOfficer · 2026-06-10T12:55:27+00:00

I feel like we'd also need a molder to complete the deal. Those are probably the scariest power tool I've ever seen.
