      Under an hour ago our new furnace arrived and now we have to disassemble the shit to be able to bring it to the basement where it will be reassembled and hooked up… Our current furnace is so ancient that it doesn’t have any efficiency ratings on it and wastes heat like crazy. It’s borderline antique. Lmao

    I love that girl versions of things very often are just boy versions of things with either bows and/or eyelashes.

    I appreciate that it is very much a default male root, but I honestly love that these two things are now somehow the universal way of indicating a gender-ambiguous character is female. Not boobs, not genitals - eyelashes and/or bows are the universal cartoon gender indicators.

        As a person who gets paid to assemble furniture, I have to second this. If you don’t have that clutch set right you’re going to have a bad time. People ask me how much it’s going to cost for me to assemble something and I tell them that they should probably try it themselves first because they’re not going to like how much I charge. They get angry. Then I get a message a week later asking me to undo whatever they messed up and assemble it at whatever price I quoted.

        Sometimes I’m lucky and they just read the instructions incorrectly (which is so easy to do) and I have to take it apart and put it back together the right way. But sometimes they didn’t have the clutch set right. And I have to repair the permanent damage they caused. They’re very happy to have it assembled correctly. They are not happy that I did the entire project in 30 minutes. But part of that time difference is that I have a drill and allen wrench sets and they were working with hand tools.

          As someone who doesn’t know shit: when you say clutch, you mean set the power screwdriver to stop turning when it hits moderate resistance, right?

          I ask because I think I understand, but I might not.
