I was so obsessed with cutting keys. Yeah, your standard house keys in the US these days are probably an SC10 or a KW1, which is what I usually cut, but every once in a while someone would come in with a key for some closet in their house keyed back in 1913 and they’d be like “can you copy this” and I’d be like uhhhhhh and find some keys that haven’t even been in circulating since 1970 and I’d be like “let’s find out” and usually I could manage it but then the real challenge was for the manager to price the thing
also we didn’t have a laser etcher or anything so when people needed their keys numbered or labeled, I got to put them on an anvil and hammer little stamps onto them one letter at a time and I have to say I think in a past life I was a locksmith
I just got a car and started driving again so I was thinking about some safety things for D/deaf/HoH drivers. One huge concern is the possibility of being pulled over and encountering the police.
I have a magnet similar to this on my car in case of that situation
I also keep a notepad and pen in my glove box with my insurance card and registration. I keep everything is in one place so I won’t have to reach around and look like i’m searching for “something”
Too many deaf folks have been killed by police, already. Stay safe!

I also have a Deaf Driver card
mine is from Gallaudet, so all the information is for DC but its still effective to let an officer know you’re d/Deaf no matter where you are. It goes in the visor of whatever car I’m driving.
discord as a filehost will no longer be possible by the end of the year
EDIT: AS IN LINKING TO STUFF ISN’T GOING TO WORK. YOU CAN’T USE IT TO PERMANENTLY EMBED IMAGES IN AO3 OR TOYHOUSE OR WHAT HAVE YOU. THE LINKS THEMSELVES WILL EXPIRE AFTER 24 HOURS, BUT YOUR FILES AREN’T GOING TO BE DELETED FROM YOUR SERVERS
if you haven’t noticed, copying a link for a file now appends special parameters to the end. these are a request signature, which indicates a specific request for that file. this request will expires after a few hours, so files will no longer be permanently available through a specific url.
while they are not currently necessary to view the file, they will be by the end of the year, assuming nothing changes.
please check that any websites you rely on are not hosting files through cdn.discordapp.com, and if they are, please archive those files through the IA using web.archive.org/save
thank you for your time
The fact that people have been using Discord of all things to host their images is just so wild to me, especially when stuff like OP mentioned is inevitable.
it wasn’t “some reason”, it was 2D animators being unionized and 3D not being unionized. and the simple truth that capitalism kills art.
I remember when 2D faded out, the reason studios kept giving was “it’s because 2D is a lot more expensive to produce”. I was a child back then so I didn’t think too much about it, assuming it was about the process itself, but as I grew up and learned more about art as an artist, and gained friends who were professional 3D artists themselves, I started to question it. Because 3D is very different from 2D, but it’s definitely not easier or faster to make. Also, both European and Asian studios kept producing 2D animated movies
The answer was unions. The answer wasn’t “this kind of art is cheaper because it’s easier to make”, it was “this kind of art is cheaper because these artists can’t force us to pay them correctly”
More Slovak characters in Czech media but also more dialects, more Hanakian, more Chod dialect, more Lachian, more Moravian Slovak, more Wallachian, more po naszymu
For fucks sake is it too much to want our media to not fuck up our dialect? If you’d want to get info out of me just strap me to a chair and put on Muzzikanti, except its just the parts where they speak po naszymu.
