     @Soy_Magnus @menherahair Aluminum melta at 660°C, and you shouldn't get anywhere near the boiling point of aluminum in your back yard.

     @teknomunk @menherahair aluminum forging is dangerous shit man. I've don't steel forging as a forge Operator 1 on a 2500 lb hammer and I found out forging aluminum takes a fucking breather unit. One inhalation of aluminum vapors and your dead its like anhydrous amonia

     @menherahair @Soy_Magnus
     
     I mostly do office work for a living (computer programming), but it also involves site installations, so that breaks things up. So when I can choose what to do (at home), I almost always will do manual labor of some sort.
     
     Gardening with hand tools (except for automatic watering, manually watering everything would massively suck), constructing a greenhouse complete with wiring and plumbing, some scrapping and recycling (electronics, paper, plastic, aluminum and steel, all stuff that most people would throw into the trash).
     
     I've got some earthworks to do (my septic system got replaced recently and the ground is settling).
     
     And I still need to get setup to melt and cast aluminum again. It's been too long and I keep putting it off.

     @teknomunk @Soy_Magnus nothing compares to landscaping
     but plumbing and laying wires rocks also. I'd fucking kill myself in an office after killing everyone involved (mercy killing tbh, my sister does that she's so fucked up)

     @Soy_Magnus There's nothing quite as fulfilling as working with your hands. Gardening, construction, plumbing, etc. Unlike office work, there's some concrete result once you are done.

     @teknomunk yeah that'll throw a wrench in it. It kinda liberates you tho tbh. I liked and hated it at the same time

     @Soy_Magnus No mobile data really puts a stop to the whole social media while at work in between tasks or while waiting for computers to do their thing.

     @Soy_Magnus It has. I haven't been on fedi much the past week due to my phone plan crapping on data, then being crazy busy at home where I have WiFi.
