Do you get many trick-or-treaters in November?

A meter is a Baker’s yard. 3 free inches!

It’s funny how the biggest argument for metric is that it’s so accurate but in real life use it degrades to “close enough”. My main problem with metric is that I can’t get my pencil that sharp.

Looks like Trump came across a rerun of Bosom Buddies.

If only they made a meter equal a yard. Then we could all be bilingual.

I’ve just had experiences with Ai help chats where when I started typing the Ai would try to finish my sentence and would jump the cursor around making it absolutely unusable. I had to type in note pad and copy it into the chat. Staggeringly useless. So if this ‘mind reading’ Ai is like that I don’t predict good results.

Also, fuck you quickbooks.

It’s happening to governments too, but they call it austerity.

I thought it was something about anarchy and couldn’t recognize the guy.

I’d call them crown staples. Putting vise grips on the end to keep it straight and tapping it with a hammer can work sometimes to get it through the other side. Pulling it straight through this side will probably damage the wood. Probably pest to just cut them flush and move on.

See what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass? Math happens.

Aha. I see the angle they’re going for. “we need more energy to compete against the baddies undercut the working class”

Love. The language of love.

Because they need to know who to target ads for gutter cleaning systems and fat man t-shirts.

This is apples and oranges.

The shop has experience. They know it’s very probable it will break. They didn’t pay for the lesson, but you will pay for their experience. Get mad at the engineer of the phone not the repair technician.

You’ve got a better mechanic than me I guess. If you bring in an old shitty car for repairs you can expect more than one thing is in bad shape.

Yes, it’s repairable, but it’s fairly involved. A fair amount of the sofa needs to be “undone” to get the arm off. How much work that is depends on how the couch is constructed. Then it becomes a matter of matching the leather, which probably won’t be possible to make it invisible.

I am an expert. Or at least an upholsterer. When you say the leg broke, what broke? Did it snap? Did it push into the sofa? Some legs have a bolt sticking out and screw into a T nut that is on the inside of the sofa.

Sometimes that punches in and just spins when you turn it. You have to pull the bolt out as hard as you can and try to get those prongs to grab wood. Most legs are one of 2 sizes. You could find another leg and bolt it back on.

It may also be a block of wood that screws to the bottom of the sofa. The holes are probably hidden by the felt scuff pad thing.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with propping it up on a brick or book or whatever. If you want to be less ghetto, take a leg from the back and move it to the front so your guests can’t tell your couch is propped up on blocks

Nice. This is the second meme I saw of this and appreciate your quick explanation.
