Given Lemmy’s leftward sociopolitical skew, the appreciation for Star Trek makes perfect sense, but what do we think of “MacGyver”? I specifically refer to the 85-92 Richard Dean Anderson show; I know there’s a reboot but I haven’t seen it yet.
Let’s see…
-Leftward Socio-political Commentary, including environmental activism and anti-authoritarianism
-Male protagonist with actual outward sensitivity & feelings
-“Open-source”; makes his own tools/gadgets from whatever’s available instead of relying on a corporate supply chain.
Sounds right up this platform’s alley.
I’m halfway through season 2 and it’s pretty damn good; it’s basically James Bond as an overgrown Boy Scout and that’s actually rather endearing.
MacGyver is a great role model. I’m always looking for a way to build instead of buy.
A built this phone stand years ago out of an old box, a pencil, gafers tape, 2 springs clips from a bathroom ceiling fan cover, bits of foam, and hot glue.
MacGyver is really in every one of us.
Humans wouldn’t have survived this long without imagination.
Fascinating, do you have many other things you have built?
Thanks.
The lock on our shed freezes every winter so I built a cover out of a small container. This is the first generation which is why I had to fill in the side with some corrugated plastic. Unfortunately, the wind pushed the door against the side of the shed one too many times and the plastic broke. I need to rig up something to keep the door open without the lock cover hitting the side of the shed. I got a few ideas.
This is an unmodified bin.
This is a storage area for car tires. Scrap wood and rails from an old futon. I have plenty of leftover wood from the rear deck I built last summer.
I don’t always take a photo of things I create. Maybe I should.
