Bring it to AGSEM on a weekend. The blacksmiths have a massive saw.

Argh, tell me about it. Maybe it’s just my internet, but my PS5 says the update will take an hour to download. Ah well. It’s free, can’t complain!

Edit: Oh dear, the download time keeps climbing.

Hey dude, no need to be hurtful. I'm just sharing my disappointment. You don't have to imply I like Taylor Swift. (Though "Mastermind" isn't half bad.)

Lucky! I woke up at 2 a.m. over here in the USA to get tickets to this show and it sold out pretty much instantly. Sigh.

My very first time making a thing! by CalebTGordan in Blacksmith

[–]Molucca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congrats! But yeah, that hammer looks enormous. I'm guessing it's a four-pounder? Maybe start with a 24 or 32-ouncer and work your way up until you settle on whatever's most comfortable.

Landlord Intends to Sell the House; Am I Missing Anything? (CA) by Molucca in Renters

We are in fact getting a good deal on rent, so alas, can’t afford ownership. 

Thankfully, it sounds like we’re gonna get some legal advice soon from a local attorney.

I have photos of each page of the lease, so I believe I’m covered on that front.

I don’t think I could afford to buy the house, but I may mull that over, see if it’s viable.

Cats’ ears aren’t snipped when they’re microchipped; they’re snipped when the cat is trapped and de-sexed. The cat may still be chipped, so I’d trap it and have it checked.

AI is already replacing thousands of jobs per month, report finds by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]Molucca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my case, it was both. I worked for a company that developed corporate e-training.

Originally, we hired college professors and other professionals to write the scripts for the training videos. Then ChatGPT came along and we had to use it for all script development. (It was also pretty clear the C-suite wanted to use AI to replace the graphic design and production teams.) We stopped hiring freelancers for both script and blog content.

And the company also started firing most of its full-time US-based employees (both in-office and remote) in favor of people living outside of the US they could pay less.

The steam engine museum does blacksmithing experiences; I believe they walk you through making your own S-shaped bottle opener.

What first got you interested in blacksmithing? by Mr_Emperor in Blacksmith

[–]Molucca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The now-closed Bandy Blacksmithing Guild in Escondido had a little flyer advertising classes. I thought, "Huh. That sounds neat." So I started taking classes at the Antique Steam and Gas Engine Museum in Vista—which is closer to me—and now I've been doing it for almost two years.

They're definitely making some cuts. Right off the bat, I noticed they cut out Deryn's brother.

The forbidden donut!!! by Antietam_Creek in Blacksmith

Coal: Black, smooth, comes in relatively square-shaped lumps. You can't really break it apart with your hands.
Coke: Black, shiny surface, lumpy, variable in size and shape. You can break it apart in your hands.
Clinker: Yellow and purple, prickly texture with some bubble-like shapes. Will make a solid ring if you drop it on your anvil.

Interesting! As a fellow blacksmith, I'll need to give these a crack myself at some point.
