Is a timber frame house from back then the same as one built post 1950 though? Some Q's:
- Have materials/practices decreased in quality?
- Has there been a shift from a sense of pride in craft and duty to build well towards cutting corners and saving $?
- Has the density and properties of wood changed as we use smaller trees grown more quickly in monocultures compared to old-growth harvested lumber of pre 1900s?
Casualties are to be expected.
Heya honey, looking for a good time? I use Arch btw.
Bernie would have taxed and regulated the media and it's owners. The coverage disparity is intentional.
I hear Corelle Brands is looking for some high quality M&A these days.
Seems too good to be true. Like you're about to be ripped to shreds and have your whole world turned to shit.
Ugh, the AI generated video is so off-putting. Extra fingers sprouting, teeth or beaks appearing in smiley faces. Lovecraftian horrors abound...
Some fun facts for everyone:
Advanced voting has finished, here are the final numbers.
- over 1/4th of registered voters (1 million) have already voted!
- the number of advance voters in 2024 is more than 50% of the number of total voters in 2017 and 2020
- Oct 16 was the highest single day of advance voting, with over 222,000 votes cast
- North Saanich and the islands had the highest advance voting percentage: 37.5% of registered voters cast a vote
- North Coast-Haida Gwaii had the lowest advance voting turnout: 20.1% of registered voters cast a vote
This is gonna be an election for the record books, it's gonna be tight, and lots of people have already voted. Don't miss out! Make your vote count! If you haven't votes yet, make a plan, find a buddy, and go vote on October 18!
Every time I am reminded that she was a chemical engineer, I picture Thatcher as a more-demure-yet-viciously-effective Yzma.
Edit: And Mr. "Too Tall To Be A Bus Driver" John Major as a blond Kronk?! Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
Also, a lifetime supply of peanuts to all residents who aren't allergic 🥜
"Some of you may die..."
EXACTLY! GO DONATE TO HELPING REBUILD NC, ELON! It boggles the mind...
It's almost like raising prices without improving the service causes people to cancel 🤔

I get a small box saying "Print pretty" from the comment link in Connect, gif wont load in the comment itself.
When I open the link externally in Firefox I get:
- url: https://lemmy.ca/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https://media3.giphy.com/media/IALvmllYJJD1AhPFrs/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952jiyrc08mier5pma36v56jao6q185y18tlb6qzv4y&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
- window: {"error":"unknown","message":"Record not found"}
Is anyone else experiencing this? Or am I doing something wrong? Thank you!

At SXSW this year, people will be able to ride the Honda UNI-ONE while wearing a virtual reality headset and play a choose-your-own VR adventure.
At the upcoming SXSW Conference... Honda will give attendees a chance to try out a new mobility device... specifically designed for mixed reality entertainment experiences.
Users can steer... without the use of their hands — they simply have to lean into one direction to move forwards, backwards, sideways or diagonally.
