Don't you mean appreciating the beauty in imperfections?
I wish I could mean that, but looking at real wear and tear, I can't find beauty in that. Only significance and meaning
You know beauty isn't just the word we use for aesthetic beauty, we also use it for concepts, such as this one.
Not when you're a human being. You're gonna look real dull after a bunch of nothing.
It's easy to look young when I hardly ever go out in the sunlight.
Just saw a Steve mould YT short: every time you sharpen a pencil, you're at best removing 2/3 of the lead so that you can use 1/3 of it to write. At worst, your removing like 9/10 of the pencil
Mechanical pencils for the win! Did you know there's even ones that rotate the lead for you as you write so there's always a sharp point?
rotate the lead for you as you write so there's always a sharp point
which ones? never heard of it but sounds cool.
You can search for them, but I think the one I have is similar to a Uni Kuru Toga pencil. I don't write as much as I used to, but it's awesome for taking notes.
Sacrifices must be made.
I for one have done something. It was a bit of a bender, and it's fair to say I don’t look the sharpest.
In terms of the pencil, its just as easy to shatter the entire core. “F around and find out”
I now hold a support function for this offshore system that deals with seabottom equipment. But I used to be a "backdeck monkey" myself. It was real dirty work, because the hardware came back on board covered in mud, clay, and whatever else was down there. We always made fun of geophysicists during man over board drills and such, because their coveralls were always the cleanest, to the point of being shiny.
Mine were so dirty they could almost stand upright on their own. And this despite washing them daily.
We’ve all had managers that fit this meme perfectly.
As a diy-er Always found it funny how YouTubers always have the most pristine tools while professionals will have the dingiest, sketchiest tools. Granted, YouTubers are representing their craft but the two (professional and YouTuber) are very distinct from each other.
It's ok to have tools that look like they've gone through hell and back, because that's the only way you know they have.
There's also repair outlets that sometimes keep nice tools up front for when a customer comes in and they can fix it quick, but then have bullshit tools in back that for the real work.
The best musicians can often be seen creating the most dulcet tones on the most dirty, busted, and worn-in instruments.
If your guitar isn't covered in dried beer and blood then I don't want to hear it.
Then you haven't watched much of Adam Savage and Big Clive, their tools they use on screen are always so well used.
There's a joke in the climbing community, "never trust a person with shiny gear", and I think it might well apply to DIY as well
This is a fair part assesment, however you also have to consider how people take care of their tools. A 40 year old tool that looks as beat up as a 5 year old tool has been taken care of better by the owner/user.
That said, I feel like we all have that massive sacrificial flat head that's no longer flat, super warped, got electrical bites, and still keeps chugging.
a metal rod flattened at the tip is a metal rod flattened at the tip after all.
