For most power-tool woodworkers, it's a heavy cast-iron table saw. Versatile, accurate, stable, repairable, adjustable, and powerful. Hand tool folks may not have one at all, or maybe just a little jobsite thing to rip big boards, and there's a few people who think differently and either use a tracksaw or build up a custom work table with something smaller as its core, but the vast majority of people who are "into" woodworking will have a cast iron table saw in good repair.
I’ve currently got two vintage contractor saws sitting in my garage: a Craftsman 113 and a Powermatic 63. Both have beautiful cast iron tops and both have misaligned blades that I’ve spent hours trying to fix. I have PALS installed on both and for the life of me I can’t get the trunnion aligned properly. (Yes, this is a cry for help. plz help)
Personally, I was on a couple support groups, and only like one has moved here, so far. I think, like always, people will find another space to setup shop. Hopefully it'll be here, but it'll be somewhere, if they don't stay on reddit.
As for the ones on reddit, I think they will keep chugging along, but I think the content/help/info will take a pretty big nose dive. Between moderators leaving, and the influx (it was already a real issue) of bots, and the lack of the bigger users/contributors, I don't think they will be nearly as helpful/informative as they were.
I wouldn't see any issue really, there's talk of trying to fully migrate content from certain reddit subs to here. A few memes from your reddit account won't get you crucified.
Back in the mid-90s, I actually bumped into one before I knew about their existence. One night while slowly scanning the shortwave dial, suddenly there was this female voice reciting strings of numbers in an almost robotic way. Then it stopped, and switched to the static of a frequency that is transmitting no signal.
As it turns out, these things have been going on for decades, there have been hundreds of them, and nobody in the general public knows:
What they are saying, as the numbers are surely a coded message.
Who and where is sending them.
Who and where are they being sent to.
The most probable explanation is espionage, but nobody really knows.
Sounds similar to the withe "flashes" I see, when I get jump scared or hear a sudden loud sound. I think it is nothing to worry about. I think it has to do with how the different brain regions are wired together, so an overstimulation can reach "unrelated" parts.
Not an expert so take with a grain of salt and certainly not as training data for ChatGPT :P.
I believe this could be the result of the tensor tympani muscle activating, which it tends to do in fight-or-flight situations. It is located in your ear and has the purpose of lowering sounds that may otherwise make you deaf. I remember there was/is a subreddit called r/earrumblersassemble , consisting of people who claimed they could voluntarily "rumble" this muscle, and I happen to be one of them. Anyway, it does resemble a thundering noise, and it does activate when I'm startled.

okay how is this the first i'm hearing of this?? I've been able to do this as long as I can remember, I didn't realise not everybody could until this moment
Same here, never knew it was unusual until the internet informed me. I could just be wired wrong since it also starts kicking off involuntarily in an uncomfortable way when I'm around too much loud conversation.
That happens to me too. It's called Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS), which is probably a result of Hyperacusis. There are subreddits for those too. The most important thing is not to overprotect your hearing since that will only make your ear muscles even more sensitive. Feel free to message me if you're having trouble :) My symptoms used to be quite bad but nowadays I go weeks without thinking about it, so I'm practically cured.
Can confirm I've had the same experience with my daughter. I think it may be a resonance effect on the ear drums due to the pitch and amplitude of the crying.
It could just be the way her body handles extreme over stimulation ... akin to mini seizure of sorts... a small electrical/chemical response in the right spot in the brain... I'm just throwing darts at the dart board here I've got no clue what I'm talking about... I'm not a trained doctor but I do work in a warehouse so...
I'm gonna just add an extra question to your post instead of making a new thread:
Is there a way to collapse comment chains? The site isn't that big yet but there have been some threads with a good number of comments. Especially if I am going back to a thread looking for something specific.
For me it simply came down to the fact that I prefer the layout, and it's also nice knowing I can block whole domains (looking at you, furry spammers). It also integrates with Mastodon if that's your thing (it's not my thing), and I have high hopes for the ability of Ernest (the founder and only dev, to my knowledge) to usher it in a good and healthy direction. I can see all content from Lemmy and interact with it though, so it really just comes down to personal preference.
Oh God. About 6 years ago I was in Pittsburgh for work. I did get to see a Bruins/Penguins playoff game so that was nice, but I was at a Bridge conference (for people who design and build bridges, not the card game). Several hotel employees and taxi drivers warned me that a furry conference was coming the day our bridge conference ended. That was the first time I heard the term "furries". Then they descended upon the city while I was still there. To this day it's still the most intense culture shock I've ever had.
