It cracks me up seeing these guys act like they are all manly with one piece of wood in the back of their glitchy Cybertrucks and here I am dangling enough wood to build a bed frame across the passenger seat back of my compact SUV and occasionally painting my fingernails.

This has to be a bit. Right? Who would post such a video of themselves?

A lot of wood workers do have headphones, but they are specialized ones that are also hearing protection. And wireless. You didn't want a wire dangling around. Also, no power tools in sight, so why does he need hearing protection? This is definitely a cosplay.

I've never seen one with that kind of handle before, either. Is this an AI image?

I mean, that's not even one. They don't sell them that short. He had to ask someone to cut it for him. What would you even do with so little?

That is a huge nail for this purpose, too

... And they give you the cellphone-service full court press when you try to cancel. I have nearly 3 years of extras charges because they obfuscated cancellation so much.

I do a thing where every Christmas I fund art Kickstarters that are close to going over their threshold. All I look for is: does this look like a real person and not just a company doing preorders. No expectations and mostly don't care what they are making. I've ended up with some nice surprises.

It's working great. There have been no smoke clouds around the pit. It seems to redirect the air flow just enough to keep all the smoke in the back.

And I suspect I would have enough money left over to build 1000 of these across the country.

I could probably also bother to make it more wheelchair accessible so we can see some sick wheelchair-based cosplays.

I think with a trillion dollars I could at least build my own Ren Faire so I don't have to drive 2 hours to the one in MD (I'm counting the hour spent in the last mile of traffic to get in the parking lot) and properly staff it with enough beer lines to not have to wait half an hour for every drink.

What other scrotum?
