  • There’s this wild, outlandish idea that kids don’t have the maturity, experience, or impulse control to make informed and rational decisions all the time. Thus we don’t give kids the exact same rights and responsibilities we give to adults – they gradually gain them as they mature and demonstrate they can handle them.

    How would you like this installed in your workplace?

    Yes, because my workplace staffed entirely by people 21+ is the same thing as a school filled with literal children. Also, for some unknowable reason we don’t have issues with people vaping in the building despite having people that smoke and vape. Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the fact none of us are teenagers.

    What if [slippery slope]?

    You do know that’s a fallacy, right?













  • A singer 29k53 treadle sewing machine from the 1930s. Nearly identical to this one:

    It was originally made for sewing leather shoes and boots – hence the boot shaped tray. I use it for heavy duty sewing and leather working.

    I considered adding a motor, but the hand wheel and treadle give a massive amount of control. On repairs I can usually put each stitch through the existing holes in the material without the machine getting away from me.
