That’s an interesting idea, I like it! I hope I remember this if I ever have to make another one!

No glue or screws, I just made cuts about halfway down on each piece where they intersect so that they slot into each other. Since the cuts were imprecise, I used a chisel to take off material until it fit nicely.

There are the 5 pieces going vertically, slotting into the one horizontal one each at the top and bottom. It’s easiest if you clamp all the identical pieces together when you make the cuts and fine adjustments, that way you don’t have to cut every piece individually. :)

Thanks! :)

Yes, it’s very gratifying!

It is intentionally facing different directions since it’s a different type of cutlery! But I can see how it might bother you ;)

It’s great, seriously. We have been dealing with a chaotic drawer for a year, I bought the wooden strip a year ago too but never had the time and energy to actually make this 🙈

Being able to make it perfectly fit our cutlery and drawer is just the cherry on top. 😌

Thanks, will have a look at that :)

I can see that it would be an issue if your neighbours are toxic people, unfortunately technology can’t solve that. Is there something that could have remedied this or do you see this as a matter of luck?

What was your experience with it? Is there something that could have remedied the problems you had? It would be good to learn from things that didn’t work.

Thanks, wasn’t aware of that!

On some level yes, but ultimately the worst cases of poorly invested time make me learn to spend my time better, so it wasn’t entirely wasted - I like to think of it as a learning experience.

What I am more concerned about is subtle time wasting, sprinkled all throughout daily life in the form of various technologies and media mainly. It’s so hard to get a feeling for how much time you are really spending there and it’s even harder to escape it.

Have to agree, it’s a funny story but charging someone a stupidity rate for nonexistent work isn’t justified by that person being stupid and a pain in your ass. Unless your circumstances force you, you can always just refuse work from customers like this. So many people downvoting this is disappointing.

They look delicious, do you have a photo of the crumb? 😍

I always love the “now in the British Museum” line… Interesting how things end up there! 😐

Unless you don’t know that ^ means Ctrl 🥲

Looks delicious, I like the addition of the simple salad. :)

There are many good replacements, you just need to stop using Github :)

Some examples: Forgejo/Gitea (self-host or hosted eg. codeberg.de), Gitlab (self-host or hosted), Sourcehut (self-host or hosted eg. sr.ht)

C is old, ubiquitous and still does not have a good replacement for its low-level cross-platform usecases, so I’ll believe it when I see it 😄

It asks whether you want to enable sentry at first start and you can enable/disable it anytime in the settings too. I’d also like a tracker-free version on F-Droid long term, but for now this is okay for me personally.

That is answered in the original post, the author is just doing this for fun and learning. :)
