So the dealio with the door is this.

I want to put a back door in my renovated craft room/workshop into the (currently unused) chicken pen. This will make it a lot easier to feed the chickens and let them into the yard in the morning, once I rebuild a coop in there and put them back in there. It will need to be an exterior door because it will lead outside and will thus need to deal with weather and soforth, and I would like one with glass in it, to help let natural light into the house.

Problems:

1. The room is wonky and has a really low ceiling, which makes fitting a normal sized door in there… tricky. It would be better to cut a door shorter, but fiddling with external doors like that, especially ones with glass panels in them, is inviting trouble. I can do it, but I’d rather not.
2. Exterior doors, especially with glass panels, are very expensive.

I’m in luck here, because I actually have an exterior door with a glass panel inside my home – the one leading to my bedroom. Furthermore, it’s already leading into the low ceiling room and was cut shorter by a previous owner.

Also, I’ve been wanting to replace it for quite some time. Not because if the glass panel (I like that, it lets natural light in, you philistines), but because it’s a) not cut quite short enough for the bedroom (it drags against the floor, which is actually bare underfloor panelling; I’m going to want to put carpet in here when I get round to finishing it, and the door won’t be able to open if I do that, I need a shorter one) and b) I want to be able to put a cat door in it, which I obviously can’t do with glass.

So the plan is:

• Cut new internal plywood door to size, cut cat hole in it (using jigsaw for the first time since high school woodworking class 20 years ago, do not fuck it up)
• Seal and paint door
• Swap doors and put a lil curtain on the cat hole until I can be fucked making a proper cat door
• Paint glass panel door to match craft room
• call in Ceiling Guy to build a door frame into the chicken coop for glass panel door. Spend all of my money getting contract work done.
• Repaint and finish tiling craft room around the door frame.
• Cry over lack of money. Get harrassed by chickens from an exciting new direction.

This will go well. I mean I forgot to buy a door handle for the new door but still.

at least you’ll have your comfort 120m of wood

anyway sound like sound plan, we especially like the cat curtain idea, opportunities for curtain call videos

I’m a Closed Door Person and the presence of Diesel and the random stray have forced me to be an Open Door Person which I do not enjoy and which is something I want to fix before the cold weather this year hits

#I was with you until the carpet part

This is the room that I spend the coldest part of the day in (early morning and late night). I hate the cold, it makes my fingers and toes hurt and I hate shivering. If there is one room that I would like to have a warm floor, it’s this one. And no, rugs on wood or tile (like I could afford a wood floor, have you SEEN the price of hardwood floorboards) are not enough.

Idgaf if you don’t want to write essays for school. I don’t care if you don’t want to write corporate emails yourself. I don’t care if you can’t draw well, I don’t care if you can’t write well, I don’t care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don’t want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever

If you’re still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.

Why would utility prices go up because of ai?

(I am not defending the usage of generative AI/ChatGPT/Character.ai etc etc i am very much against it - I am just curious as to the correlation between using it and utility price surge please don’t come at me this is a genuine question)

Happy to help.

ChatGPT uses so much energy that the US is literally reversing course on coal and gas usage to make up for it. In Santa Clara, for example, data centers used 60% of the ENTIRE CITY’S electricity.

ChatGPT uses 1-3 bottles of water for cooling for every query you put into it. This is FRESH WATER, which is evaporated and eventually mostly returns to the ocean, effectively removing a lot of it from our already dwindling fresh water supply on the planet. It also consumes 17 THOUSAND TIMES more electricity than the average American home.

The AI boom wastes so much electricity that we are very immediately risking US cities having to have rolling blackouts just to keep up with the energy demands, as early as NEXT YEAR

Gen AI’s water usage is projected to hit 6.6 BILLION meters cubed by 2027

More AI use = more data centers = power drain on local cities = gas, electricity, and water utility prices rise because all of our resources are being funneled into a machine that makes garbage

I have never in my life watched a millisecond of the hit 2010 medical drama House, but the general impression I’m getting of Dr House himself is he’s like if your transition doctor was great in getting you meds and guiding you through surgery but called you unimaginable slurs the entire time
