I like making things. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. I don’t see failure as failure; I see it as progress. Interests include space/rockets, keyboards, and other niche things.

I have a secret stash (lemmy.world)
Gotta have extra trackpoints on hand at all times just in case.
TIL about state dependence, and it makes so much sense
This is primarily talking about state dependence with ADHD medication (stimulants)....
Yeah the Knipex XS pliers are cool, but what about mini vice grips? (lemmy.world)
Those who have been on prescribed stimulants for many years (>5), how do you manage tolerance and crashing?
I have been on ADHD meds for about 7.5 years now. I started with Vyvanse and my dose was at 70mg in the first year. I was having bad crashes at night, so I switched to Adderall 40mg with 10mg Dexidrine and stayed on it for a few years. Recently, I switched to Concerta 90mg because my tolerance was getting too high and it...
Shoutout to the most versatile 'scissors'(electrician's snips) I have ever used. They are my go-to for just about anything. (lemmy.world)
[Klein Tools Model #2100-9] Wire stripper notches are especially useful sometimes. I’ve beaten on this pair quite a bit and they still cut like they’re brand new. I also have the non-stainless version, but I prefer the stainless.
These are the smallest vice grips that I have ever seen. (lemmy.world)

How can we get the users from r/EDC to migrate over here?
As you know, r/EDC has been down for a while now and I don’t know if it will ever come back. If only the users from that sub knew about this Lemmy community, I bet we could make this our new home....
I made this utility bike trailer. It's not perfect, but it's solid and does the job. (imgur.com)
I messed up on the stain, but it’s one of my first woodworking projects that I have used stain on, so it’s a learning project. It started as one of those child/pet carrier bike trailers. I removed everything but the bare frame and wheels and built it up with wood. It weighs 40lbs, which isn’t great, but I have an ebike...
My small basement workshop. Besides maybe a planar, what other tools do I need? (lemmy.world)
I’m just getting started with woodworking, so I don’t have a lot, but I’ve managed to make a few projects with what I currently have. If I had a planar, it would open the door to a lot more stuff that I could make, I think.
