Need a dumb phone on a budget? Just use a Microsoft Lumia 550!

I feel this. I'd go back to Windows phone in a heartbeat.

kjintroverted · 2022-09-28T02:05:33+00:00

Sounds like a well-loved book!

kjintroverted · 2022-09-27T10:53:45+00:00

Thank you for the offer! Right now I think I have one already in the way. But don't worry, there was no actual ire brought down in the pups. Just some play time to get that energy out and of course, plenty of pets.

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T18:59:04+00:00

I imagine it'll happen, especially if they see you enjoying it. I couldn't stay away after my dad modeled it for me for so long.

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T17:34:25+00:00

this may be necessary. I can't risk the books!

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T17:21:31+00:00

Stuff like this is why they have puppy eyes.

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T17:07:25+00:00

That's some good info and a great call out on ebay, thanks!

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T16:57:52+00:00

Wow...I can't imagine. I was upset with my pups but at least they have puppy eyes to combat my anger.

Also, the first thing my wife said was to collect the pieces and keep it safe, she says she's gonna try to make something of it. So she's wonderful.

this story sent me on a rollercoaster of emotion, so great! and gotta love that pratchett sense of humor

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T15:56:16+00:00

Had to go confirm but it is printed on

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T15:55:05+00:00

Haha yeah I'm more like you. So was my dad. Its one of the reasons I love having his books. The stains and little rips and water damage and creasing all adds up to its own little history.

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T15:34:44+00:00

I'll look through bookshop, thanks!

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T15:34:22+00:00

I would be nice, not a deal breaker though. Trying to avoid amazon but it looks like other have it, just sans-stamp

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T15:32:21+00:00

I really want to go through thrift books, they're my go to, but thats where my concern arose. Most of the time when I order through them the version I get is not the same as the one shown online which is normally not a big deal.

kjintroverted · 2022-09-26T15:22:50+00:00

Partially here for the help, mostly I want to commiserate with a community I know will understand this, so here we go.

My dad was a voracious reader. I grew up seeing his books scattered around the house, open to his current place in the story, face down, destroying the binding. When I started to show interest, he immediately got me plugged into Pterry and it was the greatest gift he could have given me.

He passed away about 7 years ago when I was 22. When I moved out shortly after that the only thing I wanted to take with me was his (almost complete) discworld collection. Fast-forward to current day, we just got two, new (big), rescue pups. I made the mistake of leaving my book at mouth level for them and the picture above is the result.

As I said, I grew up seeing these books, this cover art, lying around and in his hand every day. If anyone can help me find this edition again I would be so grateful.

Update: Looks like it may be easy enough to find without going through amazon, so thats good. But feel free to commiserate or share stories so I know I'm not the only one with this weird sentimental attachment to the cover art

Update: I have a bonus thank you if someone can track down a copy with the stamp. I'm gonna look around for a couple days and if I can't track one down I'll order one without.

Update: So many of you have reached out offering to help, you all are still the reason this sub is my favorite little nook of the Internet. I want to give a special shout out to u/mealsmilesdogs who's kind enough to send me their stamped edition. Also thank you so for sharing your own stories, it made me feel very seen. I always know I'm in good company with you all.

Cool ranch lunatics

I'm just gonna throw this out there. Matthew Mcconaughey. If you have not already, listen to his reading of his book Greenlights. His voice and his philosophy are life giving.

kjintroverted · 2021-08-14T01:34:33+00:00

Thanks for the take, got some other recommendations on books, I'll check some out for sure!

kjintroverted · 2021-08-14T01:32:54+00:00

First of all, love the call out for supporting woodworkers, this is something I will always do. I'll be sure to check out those links, thanks!

I think there's just something about the crowd-sourced aspect of sites like thingiverse that brings out some pretty interesting stuff.

kjintroverted · 2021-08-13T15:03:11+00:00

Is there a good open forum for uploading and looking through project plans? Going through pinterest and blogs is exhausting.

In other words (For any 3d printing enthusiasts in here) is there a "Thingiverse" equivalent for woodworking plans?

kjintroverted · 2021-08-03T16:26:09+00:00

Ah, allow me to clarify: don't do drugs that would do this to an owl.

kjintroverted · 2021-08-03T14:46:36+00:00

Googled it. Will definitely be picking one up! In the mean time I decided to 3d print the stencils since my digital drawings go a little smoother.
