I gotcha fam.

As a Canadian living in Scotland, I’d like to say that butteries are feckin bangers.

The treat is made with two iced butteries sandwiched with whipped cream and jam.

Sign me the fuck up!

Bottles was what helped me finally kick windows to the curb.

I had one program that I just couldn’t get working, made a “gaming bottle” and it just worked, no issues.

Bottles is still kinda buggy. Just kicked em £10.

The bitlocker code for the desktop I sometimes use at work is 123456789. I asked IT who was the idiot that decided that was a good idea. The CTO apparently.

The Scott Monument, on Edinburgh’s Princes Street, is pretty cool!

I have an Estwing brick hammer that gets some use, but not nearly as much as the lump!
Estwing just makes good shit. Or did. I don’t own any Estwing stuff newer than a decade old.

Hmmm…might have to have a look at the camp axe 🤔

You have no idea how little that narrows it down

Does it? It counts as aggregate, and so does small stones and pebbles. What’s the cut-off for the transition to sand from stone? I’m positive that some nerdlinger drew a line in the scale and said “past this is sand!”

I don’t really think so, my business partner back home was getting $50/sq.ft when he started on his own in the early 80s. Now you’re going to struggle and fight to get paid $20/sq.ft, at least in Vancouver. So the masons are being paid less now than 40 years ago not even adjusting for inflation. And our wages used to include beer basically everywhere in the world, through all time periods until around the 1900s.

I’d say it’ll hold 3-150 stones

If I was fabulously wealthy I would take time off to build my own house. Not often I get the chance to design and build something!

I’ve not been sleeping well and working 16 hour shifts. Even at my best my memory is not great. Thanks for reminding me about the mason jar, I’ll check the cupboard when I get home from buying lunch.

Better luck next time 🤞💪

Doooooope! I was going to settle for cremation, so why not go out like a boss on a pyre!

What kind of brick? I happen to be at work, and there happens to be both a scale and an old Red Stock brick, they don’t make those ones anymore, but the one I had on hand weighed in at bang on 4kg.

Edit: newer bricks tend to be a lot lighter. An engineering brick, which has holes in it, is likely less than a kg

Edit²: forgot about the smashup! Stonemasons for sure. Most of the Freemasons I’ve met have been a bit on the older side, and quite unfit. Also stonemasons have a wide selection of hammers, crowbars and trowels. And honestly I am not entirely sure which of the three would suck the least to be hit with. Hammers and bars are obviously blunt force trauma…but I’ve cut the ever loving fuck out of myself reaching into my bag and forgetting to be careful of the trowel. 12 stitches!

Hmmm…I think it’d be nice if there was something after, not convinced there is. I’m perfectly happy with returning my substance back to the earth. I asked my wife to arrange a sky burial…turns out that’s not exactly legal here in the UK…

You clearly pay them well enough for the good advice you get.

Tunnel under the wall if you can, light a giant fire, or your not explosives.

I answered this in a couple other comments. So I’ll give you the TL;DR:

Worked in a warehouse, was bunk, walked out at lunch because fuck those hosers, called a friend to complain and turned out the masonry firm he worked for was hiring.

I have not. Should I?

Me too fam…me too
