I’m from the American Southeast. I speak with a tarheel drawl. To listen to me speak, you’d think the word “rural” has four Rs in it. Rrrrl.

Such a whimsical jape.

It’s how rednecks proclaim trans positivity. The truck wasn’t built with testicles, and then they added them, which alters the truck’s gender. How progressive.

Sportsmen?

The last EA product I purchased new, that the company would have gotten paid for, was Desert Strike for SNES. In 1993.

Yeah, the bread is sideways in the bag. It’s hilarious.

Bread doesn’t go in the bag that way. So silly.

I’m honestly not convinced that’s true.

In my experience, a woman’s living space is either more cluttered than a man’s because she’s got 5.37*10^9 bottles in the shower, piles of laundry made of a larger number of smaller garments, and 900 pillows, OR she lives in a film set where nothing can be moved, touched or used. You don’t dry your hands on the towels on the towel rack, those are for decoration, if you need to dry your hands go down to the laundry room, open the towel bin, take out a towel, dry your hands, wash-rinse-sanitize-dry-iron-fold and put away the towel, then go about your day.

Man tidy is “blanket’s on the bed, laundry’s either put away or in the hamper, the carpet has been vacuumed at some point in the last month, and none of the cologne/deodorant bottles on the dresser are empty.”

Yeah, do it 3 years ago.

Underglow will always have a 2 Fast 2 Furious vibe for me, like that bed has a big amp and subwoofer in the back with no capacitor so it’ll stall the engine if the volume is turned up too high, a muffler delete and a spoiler even though it’s front wheel drive.

By your logic you’re not paying for a 10 minute ride home. You’re paying for a 15 minute drive to your point of origin, a 10 minute ride home, a 15 minute ride elsewhere, in time, fuel, maintenance, insurance, car payment, interest on that payment and taxes.

If you’re committed to the black and red aesthetic go with ebonized white oak and glazed black cherry. I’d lean toward the American Craftsman/Mission style, stylish within practicality and built to last, and most importantly would look absolutely stupid in distressed chalk paint.

There’s a stereotype that men don’t understand bed frames, somebody already in this comment section has posted a bare air mattress on the floor. The other extreme is the fuckateria table on display in the original post. Looks like a futon mat on plywood? Go to a mattress store and buy something that isn’t marked down. As for a bed frame, simplicity is the order of the day. No footboard, if you go with a headboard make it functional. Should be low enough to sit down on, a bed you climb up on is college kid shit.

A taller dresser is more masculine, compared to a woman’s dressing table.

A simple rocking chair is surprisingly useful, serves as a dressing rack.

You’ll probably want three levels of lighting, mood lighting, reading lighting and cleaning lighting. Built-in overhead lights will serve as the latter.

Avoid any urge to set dress. This isn’t a film set, you don’t have to intentionally clutter tabletops and shelves with shit. Live a life and things to put there will happen to you. For the love of fuck don’t decorate with books you want people to think you read.

I fully believe that; almost all of the women in my family vastly prefer table lamps. I inherited all 19 of my grandmother’s.

The way you decrease both the emptiness and femininity of this space is to get rid of all the retail mall goth shit, rev up the table saw and make some actual furniture.

Have thumbs, can confirm.

Don’t know if humans work that way but cats do.

My favorite thing about TempleOS is it’s written in Holy C.

I’ll warn you now it can get a little tedious, because you refer to the data in a spreadsheet like referencing variables in a Python script. In most fields you can type in a dimension, you can click a formula button or hit the = key and then type in a formula. Or you can reference a cell in a spreadsheet. that might look like “=spreadsheet.A4” for the contents of cell A4.

That isn’t very readable and I don’t trust it not to break if you add rows or columns or whatever, so there’s an Alias function. You can give each individual cell a name. Which is slow and tedious. In the Addon Manager you’ll find some macros, one called EasyAlias which, select a cell, click the EasyAlias button, and the cell to the right of your selected cell gets the contents of the selected cell as an alias. In other words, if Column B is a bunch of labels and column C is the actual data, highlighting B2-B17 and clicking the EasyAlias button will automatically alias C2-C17. That feature should be built-in. There’s also a macro for clicking a dimension, clicking a sketch feature, and then semi-automatically applying a dimension. It’s slightly temperamental but it works faster than typing “Dimensions.notch_height” over and over.

My way into CAD software was 1. Dealing with DXF editors like QCAD. 2. Trying to tackle parametric CAD, I ran Onshape’s tutorials, they have pretty good technique tutorials, like how to draft a paperclip, that are applicable to most parametric CAD packages. Then learning how FreeCAD’s spreadsheet works.

FreeCAD has a full-on spreadsheet built in, now it’s feature poor compared to Excel or LOCalc but you can store and calculate dimensions there and then use them in the main drawing. Other software has features that accomplish this but it’s not as flexible and familiar as a spreadsheet. FreeCAD has some usability issues but everything else out there is either drawbackware or subscription.
