Thanks for putting in something awesome, @ernest! Not sure if you want feedback, but functionality is as full as I know it to be. Maybe better. It is really fast right now! Hope you are on the mend.
Hey friends, does anyone know what either of these objects are?
(They were found in a deceased relative's jewelry box.)
Please boost for added eyes, thanks! 😊
The lettering on the object on the left says:
Hadley Made in USA
Both ends open up to 90⁰ and the main body expands and contracts about a centimetre.
A clever person has said that the object in the right is a Writescope telescoping mechanical pencil. Thanks!
This is interesting, and connected to the website that predates Wikipedia, https://www.aaroads.com/ ! I never really thought about the folks who ran that site, what a large amount of time and effort they have spent. And to do Wikipedia, also.
It does seem like these sort of hard rules will always come up against hard walls. There has to be some flexibility it seems.

Can you elaborate on outboxes? Idk what that means but I have been working on an mbin instance and it has been a struggle... Thanks for posting the ! I'm gonna use that, also.

I was expecting something more like R Mutt but this was also really informative. This is exactly the kind of red tape that looks bad and ends up being bad, and is then held up as an example for why we shouldn't have any red tape anywhere, ever.
Is anyone else? One of the reasons I was interested in /kbin over other options was this feature, but I don't remember seeing them on subscribed or all. Is this new? I'm kind of intimidated by it but ultimately know I want to interact. I'm seeing some cool stuff! It's all on magazines I have subscribed to.
I'm gonna post here instead of your post on kbin. I have questions! I already have an mbin account but stuff just doesn't matriculate like I am use to. How do I get magazines/communities to populate?

Looking for help in solving a problem where the lower door hinge pin on my entry door keeps creeping up and causing the deadbolt to become slightly misaligned making it more difficult to lock. Reading online, I keep coming across suggestions of tightening a screw that’s supposed to lock the pin in place but my hinges don’t...
I'm not a carpenter, but as a mechanic, if the hinge pin is doing that AND the deadbolt has a problem, I would expect a third problem. Maybe the door frame isn't square, or since it is the bottom hinge pin, maybe a threshold issue. The pin shouldn't be migrating, and if it did, the deadbolt shouldn't care. There should be three hinges on an entry door. Is the door warped?
That's really cool! I'm not sure where this fits in on the renewable spectrum (i could have missed it) but I haven't heard about this. Thanks for sharing!
The Company's comprehensive offerings include proprietary gravity-based storage, battery storage, and green hydrogen energy storage technologies.
It looks like they used lithium ion batteries for this but I'm not confident in that. I only poked around their website a little, tho. I'm curious what gravity based would look like. Maybe I should poke around more!
With the abandonment of Artemis (formerly kmoon), kbin is now only really usable by the mobile site. The site is really not suited for mobile devices however, and there have been minimal user-facing changes in the last few months....
I don't personally have any issues with the website on mobile, I wonder if it could be browser related? I'm also not expecting perfection from something that hasn't been around very long, and never was on reddit so have nothing to compare it to.
I think you have valid points about "dealing" and "learning" and for some, that will be a turnoff. For me, it is an adventure 🙂
/kbin is feeling great right now
