Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Depends what it is. It can be fun to explore the other side. Sometimes infuriating when you discover that your bias was actually correct and the other side is actually full of idiots. Ie flat earth, communism, trickle down economics, people who make things out of old pallets.
This is very astute; there are some things where “the other side” is so clearly wrong that it doesn’t warrant investigation; beyond the question of how people fall into these logical traps.
i.e. flat earth, 5g causing whatever.
It can be enlightening to examine the logical tricks/traps that are used to move people along these lines of thought. The tricks are similar to cults/religions radicalizing people.
Wait, please can you elaborate on that last one?
😂 That one was the joke one
Phew, I’m glad I still get to keep believing that this really happens!
I’m proof! My raised vege garden was built from a pallet. Now you have a legitimate ‘my internet friend’ argument.
Faith in pallet humanity restored!
Hmm that sounds really good actually, were you able to use just one pallet and cut the bottom out?
My dad built it - he pulled the whole thing apart and reassembled it. It’s basically just a trough about eight inches off the ground, with a frame over the top for hanging bird netting over. He actually did a really job and could probably make some pocket money flicking them on the local facebook page.
That sounds really cool!
Are pallets generally untreated timber?
I think you get both - the one I was given is untreated but we lined it with plastic anyway is some of the gaps were a bit big.
