Congratulations!

I also come from a trying father. The thing that I learned from raising my daughter is don't be too hard on yourself. You will make mistakes. Those mistakes to me seemed fatal. However, my perspective is skewed from my childhood.

You will make mistakes, they are not fatal.

You will do just fine!

Peace be with you!

Sorry meant to ask, what is the pack for?

Sometimes I wish there was an edit button...

Having the skills to repair things is very important...

However, you also need the good tools to accomplish the task! Here are three tools that are a must have in your toolkit.

Let's start!

1️⃣ #2 Phillips Screwdriver: An essential tool that will come in handy for the majority of your repair or assembly tasks. It's indispensable, being used in about 80% of cases, thanks to the widespread use of #2 Phillips head fasteners in various applications.

My Recommendation: Opt for screwdrivers with hard plastic handles as they tend to last longer than those with soft rubber inserts.

2️⃣ Utility Knife: This versatile knife is perfect for a range of DIY cutting tasks, from opening boxes to cutting sheetrock. The utility knife is always handy, and with its replaceable razor blades, you can rely on it to stay sharp.

My Recommendation: My personal favorite is the Stanley 99e – a no-frills knife that will last you for many decades.

3️⃣ Rip Claw Hammer: Setting itself apart from typical hammers, this unique tool features a straight claw for better prying and versatility in both finish carpentry and framing tasks.

My Recommendation: Often available in a 20 oz. size, this weight provides a perfect balance of heaviness and ease of use, Eastwing is a great brand to buy.

Equip yourself with these essential tools, and you'll be on your way to kitting out a real toolbox!

Good morning nostr!

What do you have planned?

That is a pretty accurate map of my mind!

Yes, it may be. Things do tend to go in cycles. Case in point the whole “forth turning” cycle.

People will have the choice, we always do. I am leaning on the optimistic side.

There is another option that I think about. It is the global consciousness raising. Not in the new age since, but in a since that we as a world are growing up.

Nevertheless, we do live in interesting times!

Cheers!

In a way, transactions are communication. Especially with bitcoin, since it is really a ledger.

I tend to agree, we are in the midst of a momentous transition period. For the better. It will be more clear in the future.

Also, imagine a young adults first job being starting his/her first business.

A direct finger in the eye of mega corporations.
