18/ > welds are temporary bolts re "if you never miss the plane, you're spending too much time in airports": if you haven't cut a weld you made a few years before, or removed a wall you built, you're accepting the built environment too uncritically

Kendric Tonn @kendrictonnGood thread. I've noticed this precise thing, in my case also from home renovation, and from being able to piece together a life without a job-as-such. Sometimes I miss the naive acceptance of built-spaces as just being an immutable given, though. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1344674250872025088 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 7 likesShow this thread -

Kendric Tonn @kendrictonnAs the greatest compilation of epigrams of the 20th century--Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri--put it: Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left.

Todd Barrett @thepiclordReplying to @MorlockPAcquiring the knowledge of how to fix things (with proper tools) also causes me to view those things as less binary. Before, the thing is either 'broken' or 'not broken.' If broken it remains so unless I summon the right repairman to do required magic to make it 'not broken.'1 reply 0 retweets 13 likesShow this thread -

Todd Barrett @thepiclordReplying to @thepiclord @MorlockPWith knowledge and tools to fix it, I realize that some sub-part of the whole is malfunctioning, but the thing itself is actually functional! Just the sub-part needs fixing! Although knowing when something is not worth the time and effort to repair is an additional skill.1 reply 0 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -

Lawyer Dog @TheClarksTaleReplying to @MorlockPNot legal advice per se, but if you're not looking to launch a full-time business, and she persists in being unresponsive, consider just ignoring any patents and going ahead anyway (via a corp or LLC for some degree of legal security). This is actually a variant on thread theme.1 reply 0 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -

great essay; read it a few weeks ago (and lamented, at the time, that I don't have sufficient hacker mindset; as INTJ I'm always trying to build the frameworks, not look at the cracks in them) anyway, yes, I see (and agree with) the connection you're making

I like your point that *experience* is what builds this vision there's just something irreplaceably visceral about doing things yourself [insert iconic Heinlein quote]
