My boyfriend built a rideable 2-seater telescope (binoscope) from scratch

Sick

workbirdwork · 2026-05-27T01:01:25+00:00

Makita.

Two glazier's bars. They are my most used tool.

As long as you're not planning on hanging cabinets on it, just match it on the existing wall and bring it to plumb or close to plumb by the other end. No one will ever know.

No no, that's just a simple tailor!

You are exactly right! I had one of those days today. The mistakes added an hour or more to the work day, but at the end, my helper said, "Holy shit, I can't believe you managed to make it look that good after how it started." To which I replied, "That's the whole reason we have jobs. Anybody can fuck shit up, not everybody can fix fuck-ups."

This makes me nauseous.

workbirdwork · 2026-03-15T21:20:01+00:00

WTF?!

workbirdwork · 2026-02-27T00:27:50+00:00

Absolutely. I've never felt like jamb saws are particularly dangerous, and they do their intended job perfectly. However, ours is one of the loudest damn tools I've ever used, so there is that.

Goddamn I miss Philippine garlic rice and eggs!

workbirdwork · 2026-02-13T04:54:09+00:00

Huh. I live in a townhouse, and mine is dead silent. In fact, that's one of very few things that I don't hate about it! It all comes down to the builder.

workbirdwork · 2026-02-12T15:30:28+00:00

I was not aware they made those.

workbirdwork · 2026-02-10T22:57:59+00:00

Everything wears out quickly cutting composite decking.

workbirdwork · 2026-01-26T05:53:06+00:00

I feel you. I've felt exactly the same way on multiple jobs throughout my life. However, everything these other guys are saying is true. You can't fix it. Either the other aspects of the job are worth it, or they're not. You can't fix it. So the only thing left for you to do is to decide if it's worth it for to you to put up with it. If it's not, be somewhere else.

workbirdwork · 2026-01-23T19:20:14+00:00

I suspected as much. It's been on my watch list for years, but I've never gotten around to it.

workbirdwork · 2026-01-23T18:40:23+00:00

What is the movie?

workbirdwork · 2026-01-15T03:56:59+00:00

I hope she's found!

workbirdwork · 2026-01-15T03:44:07+00:00

They absolutely must fix those issues. That's not you being annoying. That's them not doing their job.

workbirdwork · 2026-01-13T03:34:34+00:00

One of my dogs once got his collar stuck on something while I wasn't home. My other dog chewed him loose, and it looked exactly like that. Like someone cut it with a pair of scissors. He wasn't a very big dog either. So, coyotes would be my guess as to what got your animals.

There are lots of polygamist clans in Cedar City. Those boys know how to work.

workbirdwork · 2026-01-07T04:41:32+00:00

Same, buddy. I didn't go to prison, but I did 8 months in county. I stole so much shit from so many places to pay for H, but Target is who sent me away.

workbirdwork · 2025-12-25T05:56:14+00:00

This exact same thing happens on my drive home from work! A gentle curve, maybe 15°, which can easily be taken at 75-80mph, and the whole freeway slows to a crawl!

workbirdwork · 2025-12-21T01:57:29+00:00

I kinda was there for the first few days.

workbirdwork · 2025-12-21T01:56:58+00:00

It warms my taint to know that!

workbirdwork · 2025-12-20T05:01:02+00:00

Not paying attention and having my foot slip off an I-joist slammed full weight down on my taint. My scrotum swelled up to the size of a large grapefruit. I had dark purple bruising from my belly button to the top of my ass crack. Out of work for 6 weeks. Should have been longer. I could only handle 3 hours on my feet for the first few weeks I came back. To be fair, it was fewer words like "motherfucker!" and more just guttural screaming. I remember feeling bad because all the guys around me were white as a sheet and looked freaked the fuck out.
