  • I’m in the middle of it right now but I’ve got an old plug in oil heater that I decided to pop open the cover and have a look-see before condemning myself to buying another for probably $100ish.

    I am so far from comfortable working on electronics or woodworking or traditional guy stuff, but this radiator is old in the sense of it’s built like a brick shit house and hooked up to a simple mechanical switch with 3 wires, one of which is the power cord that finally disintegrated from the heat.

    It’s so simply built even I can feel confident swapping out for a new mechanical switch and some new wiring.


















  • When hexbear popped into existence like a week ago in my reddit refugee feed I honestly had no idea if I’d missed something or who the hell hexbears were. I took what others were saying at face value and assumed you were another explodingheads and reacted accordingly, but then i ended up reading comments that folks from hexbear were posting in my feed.

    I was confused at first because you guys were writing knowledgeable posts and picking unapologetic liberal/lefty stances; chuds might try to mock the stances but they can never pass as thoughtful and well informed.

    I was wrong to assume without judging for myself and hope to see more of you guys in the fediverse
