My 1 bed bachelor pad has a portable aircon, but no window vent dingus, so I’ve decided to make one from wood offcuts and a 3D printed socket for the adaptor at the end of the hose that’s supposed to attach to said dingus.
I could have bought one from Amazon for $40 delivered but ::waves arms at late stage capitalism::.
Not just for cost or delivery/fuel waste reasons – this is a continued expression of my addition to the “3/5/x R’s”: ”Adapt”.
Not only am I utilising offcuts, but also iKEA shelf upright extensions, in a way I can take them apart to return them to original purpose.
Yes, I hoard offcuts and extras of things like IKEA shelf systems (Gorn and Sten for the win!) – I do that because those trees have already been cut down, and they’re often milled to a “good enough” spec for such projects.
Offcuts often get used in multiple ways over their life with me. I lament leaving bed slats on hard waste pickup nights! And yes, I have rescued some of those and used them in the past.
I’m not making much of a difference in the grand scheme of things, but it feels good to be creative in reuse.
It’s funny, my fave grandparent (Pa) and my second father-in-law (one of nature’s gentlemen), who both lived through the depression (my Pa as an adult and father, my father-in-law as a child) exemplified this ”hoard”/reuse/adapt philosophy as well.
No real point to this post except to perhaps encourage others to adapt what’s already around them.
There is a real sense of accomplishment in making something with your own hands which I commend to everyone.

@dazo this was the Linux side of my desk two years ago. The fleet has grown and I've rearranged my office numerous times since then.

MAGA is easily duped.
Proof?
🔹 Made Trump POTUS45.
🔹 Realized their mistake, he lost POTUS46.
🔹 Fell for his grift again, stuck with him for POTUS46.
🔹 But he’ll fail again, costing them POTUS47 to another Republican.

@bikenut wait, people still go inside to buy drinks? Has anyone heard of a drive-thru. I know McDonald's doesn't have the healthiest drinks in the world but you can still buy a goddamn bottle of water from McDonald's. #thinksmart

Refactored laser, resin and fdm. They took up far far too much space. Collapsed two metal racks. Turned two others into one rolling central chimera. Tore everything off the pegboard. Made two toolboxes and sent one to work. Rebuilt everything (generally) with purpose behind it. Whole project is trying to create the room for a table saw and find a better workflow for all my tendencies. A little over a week in. I can see the light. Few more days.

My @taoofmac auto-poster has been on the blink, so here's what I've been up to:

ഫിനാൻഷ്യൽ ഇവസ്റ്മെന്റ് ഒന്നും തുടങ്ങിയിട്ടില്ലേൽ ഇന്ന് തന്നെ അതിനെ കുറിച്ചു ചിന്തിച്ചു തുടങ്ങുക.പല മ്യുച്ചൽ ഫണ്ടിന്റെയും തുടക്കകാലത്തെ വിലയും ഇപ്പോഴത്തെ വിലയും കാണുമ്പോൾ നല്ല നഷ്ടബോധം ഉണ്ട്. ജോലി തുടങ്ങിയത് പോലും ഈ മേഖലയിൽ ആയിരുന്നിട്ടും കൂടി അന്ന് ഇത് ചിന്തിച്ചില്ല. #ThinkSmart
