Unless you are the Hulk, it is extremely unlikely you’ll be able to open this door with only a handle, like you would a conventional residential garage door.

You can remove the motor, but you’d want to replace it with a manual chain hoist. You’ll want to research “commercial roll up door chain hoist”. I think they are mostly similar, but maybe not all exactly the same… So, make sure you get one that works with your door. There will likely be a bit of customization involved with the installation to get things lined up correctly.

If this the same person who did the 2 hour Disney Star Wars hotel one? I put that on because of the buzz about it on Lemmy, just expecting to get the idea and quit after 2 minutes. Ended up watching the whole damn thing.

Thankfully, I’m not completely void of any sewing skill. I can hem pants, or repair some outdoor gear, as you mentioned. But, I don’t think I could make a complete shirt that didn’t look homemade.

I have a massive wingspan:weight ratio, so I always have to choose between sleeves being long enough on a shirt that’s 4x too big, or sleeves that end 3 inches short on a shirt that mostly fits. If I could make my own shirts and hoodies from scratch, it would be great. I just have too many other hobbies, and not enough time to dedicate to learning a new one right now.

I guess it’s cultural, or regional, or just who you spend time around. Among my male friends, most of whom are straight and married with children, I don’t think any of them would even blink an eye at either of these things.

I do have colleagues from other cultures and US regions (US Italian, Central America, rust belt) who I’d bet would act the way you describe. I’m not jealous of that aspect of those cultures.

i can sew my own clothes and bake?

Weird. Creepy.

Hard disagree. I wish I knew how (and had the time to) make my own clothes. And, who doesn’t love baked goods? These both sound awesome.

I feel seen! If you get “regards” instead of “best regards” you should know you’re on my shit list.

I’m noticing, but failing to see why that’s significant. Is something interesting going on with spaceX?

You pass! I’ve done several thousands of these over the past decade.

The circumference is where everyone lives. The area is comparatively empty.

The bigger reason I don’t go to McDonald’s is because of the self serve kiosks they’ve forced on us instead of paying people to run the registers.

Price is still a reason though, so I’m glad they are at least considering that as well.

The same dark comedy thought crossed my mind!

I expect they might retire and replace the existing judges, one every two years, in order of length of time already served. This would make it so they start this new system off already having 9 seats filled.

Honest question: Could all of the other stuff you’ve suggested happen without getting into amendment territory? I honestly don’t know almost anything about where all these SC things are defined in law, but changing the way the entire SC operates sounds pretty extreme when compared with simply adding term limits. It’s hard to believe it wouldn’t also stray into some constitutional territory.
