I was 4 years old, listening to a record on headphones connected to this rig. Leaned too far back, and caught the 1/4 inch input jack on the headphones right in my fucking eyeball.

    Not sure what the problem is with that approach, I’m looking for a kitchen cabinet, not a personal expression of the artist’s lived experience as a trans-disabled Iberian who grew up as the only rich kid in the holler in the Appalachians, just build me a kitchen cabinet.

      It’s not about the “Artisan’s lived experience.” It’s about designing and building those cabinets to fit modern day needs. Like that computer desk that doesn’t quite fit your setup. Or not being able to get that air fryer or food processor on that shelf because it’s literally 1/2"/12mm too tall. Unless you custom build everything, more often than not, those older designs are difficult to smoothly integrate into how we live today.
