Amazing story 💫

Figured it out. Weirdly, knowing you solved it made me confident I could too, and I don’t even know you 🤔

Yeah, I’m nervous. Any recommendations on sealant?

Acrylic paint.

Paint it 😛

It’ll probably just flake off.

Pied pipers. Or just pipers. Piepers?

It’s not a SAK though. The tools are bigger and more sturdy, you can flick the knife, and there’s a tool deployment mechanism. I’d say it’s more comfortable over all.

Fair. The question is do I want to give up ~30 tools in my SAK in exchange for ≤5 sturdier tools and easier deployment? Personally, no. Excited to see how the Flex Companion evolves though.

Exactly!!!

Absolutely. I love his swiss army knife modifications!

Not too hard at all. Here’s a video on how it’s done. I wrap mine slightly differently, but same basic premise.

Kind of 👍 but during actual ritual prayers a tasbih would be hard (impossible?) to use.

Yeah I’m keeping track of the number of units of prayer completed.

Interesting solution 👍 Curious to see how this plays out!

Fair points. I’m warming up to the idea of making votes public so that people don’t have a false sense of privacy. I wish votes were actually private, but maybe it’s not a big deal if your account can’t be easily traced back to you in real life.

ActivityPub can’t evolve? Is there some insurmountable technical blocker?

I suspected this would be an issue and have avoided voting on controversial posts. But if everyone did as I do, there would be no open discussions about pressing topics.

It’s confusing enough understanding how federation works for the less technically inclined. I don’t think we should also expect them to figure out which instance is privacy-conscious. Privacy of votes should be baked into Lemmy. Even kbin users shouldn’t be able to see it.

If users want to advertise their approval/disapproval of posts they can use public comments in tandem with private votes.

Incidently, I used the painter’s tape today for the first time! Worked just fine :)

After carrying this in my pocket for a few days, my thoughts so far:

• Sliding a straw over the tape as a sheath hasn’t proved necessary so far. Doing so would add bulk, making the deployment of adjacent tools difficult or requiring a reduction in the amount of tape stored on the bit driver.

• The thick gorilla tape makes it impossible to open the adjacent pliers without first opening the bit driver because the pivot point of the pliers sticks out. Putting the thicker tape closer to the bit (swapping positions of the painter’s tape and gorilla tape) may alleviate this, though I’ll have to try it to confirm. Otherwise, I’ll have to reduce the amount of tape stored lower on the bit driver.
