Saw a Reddit post asking why a dead tree they cut open was full of dirt.

My guy, that’s where dirt comes from. It’s just tiny rocks and dead stuff.

Someone do a biopic about the blacksmiths who were paid by the state to make shit for the local First Nations.

Let me audition.
Nov. 23, 1775: Congress resolves to cement friendly relations with the Six Nations of New York by treating them with "the accustomed hospitality when they come to Albany or Schenectady" and to pay for two blacksmiths to offer their services to them.

Weird to remember there was a time where I had played dozens of hours of Super Mario Brothers and never seen what Bowser looks like.

I feel like if I keep forgetting to take my PPE off when I carry my latest blacksmithing project into the house to show @arkadykoshka.bsky.social, eventually one of the neighborhood youths will snap a blurry picture and I’ll become a local cryptid.

Dope.

But back when that pair of shoes cost $1000, a sandwich cost $0.50. So I could buy 2000 deli sandwiches and eat really good for a year, or buy 5 years worth of shoes that each last 6 months. Probably both.

No matter how you finagle the math, cheap goods don’t outweigh expensive needs.
OK Wil’s point simplified. An e.g.

Back in the day a pair of shoes would cost a week’s wages. Let’s call it $1000

Today shoes are cheaper approx $100.

So today you could buy 10 pairs of shoes for a week’s wages.

Someone who can afford 10 pairs of shoes is richer than someone who can afford one.

Started this one at the beginning of my bladesmithing journey. Hell, was basically the beginning of my blacksmithing journey, about 2 years ago.

I think it was actually the first successful pattern weld I did, 8 layers iirc. One of my DnD friends (always plays a necromancy warlock,

It’s a violation of TOS to be a Johnny Cash fan.
The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2
