Cut and sew doesn’t necessarily mean tailoring. Plenty of trades at the sewing machine. I make custom canvas and upholstery for boats among other things. Maybe they’re busy or maybe not, but a lot of people are shocked when they find out I work year round and have a long waiting list.

And yes, I have an art degree lol

Speak for yourself. I have a cut and sew shop and do quite well. Knowledge is power. Skill is rare.

It’s also because there’s sooo much dross and very little content.

Both. Odd that you would ask without trying it yourself.

If you mime tightening a bolt, your thumb moves to the right. And vise versa.

Lefty righty, loosie tighty.

You don’t need planes for that. You just need a systematic foot on their necks. You know, like we do for the rest of the poors.

We can’t afford another plane because we need another highway first.

Too fucking bad. Gird your loins friend, Boat Facts are an unstoppable force. Much like the unstoppable force that is created by the keel, which is a big wing that opposes the force created by the sail and produces forward motion. Imagine a watermelon seed squished between your fingers, side force equals forward motion.

It’s not up for debate. These are facts.

I think he means coherent.

I’m that level of user that will block the ever loving shit out of everything but not do much to make it better. The problem is that once you’ve blocked everything you have pretty much zero interest in there isn’t much left on lemmy. Still better than reddit though.

Sounds like you found your million dollar idea! Now its as easy as cashing all your cheques! Congratulations!

Yes, but I’m talking about mass adoption. Very few users care, they want to scroll through and see stuff they like. They don’t want to curate and host and delve into the intricacies. Until such time as someone makes lemmy palatable, the masses won’t eat it.

Therein lies the complication.

Sailing. Boating. Sewing. Those are they tops ones I miss from reddit that had active users. Instead we have 7000 communities for linux and pervy anime.

Probably one complication is that the trucks need to be able to drive while the bed is up in normal operation. They have to move forward while dumping to spread the load.

Lemmy won’t catch on until there are groups of communities you can ban at once. Sports, Linux, German, pervy anime… It’s a very rare user who will put up with the absolute dreck of the initial feed and manually block communities until they have a feed that’s marginally personalized.

Then there’s the fact that any communities that are specific to peoples interests are completely empty.

It’s been less and less for the last ever. It did freeze over solid, as did all the Great Lakes, about 10 years ago but that seems to be an outlier. Now there’s been not much by the shore let alone any for ice fishers. I’m talking about Georgian Bay, off Lake Huron.

There was a railway built to my town which had a big industry supplying ice to the large cities in the south. There was a long conveyor belt built into the lake leading to a large building stuffed with saw dust that kept ice well into the summer. It created a lot of winter work for the locals that dried up after refrigeration was invented. The railway lost its usefulness and also got torn up. And now the bay doesn’t even freeze anymore.
