I wish I had 1998's optimism.

One of the few I miss from reddit is r/gunnitrust. Diy firearms really does fit with the vibe here and the artist quality of some of them was gorgeous.

I'd also thought about making a goblin market. Sort of a barter only swap meet for all the weird and wonderful things that we in the goblincore community gather.

Also some sort of practical activism group.

If you're at all from the US it may be due to use to us teaching that sweet things are fruit and not sweet things are vegetables.

That 90's era food pyramid really fucked up a generation.

Funny, management can't be held accountable either.

The correct rebuttal to this is to drown them in guac.

Truely I was a fool to challenge a redditor when pedantism is on the line.

Ideally yes, it's cold in these parts and I'm not fond of pants.

A creamy, fat rich, savory fruit paste traditionally served with Hispanic food. It serves to accent the seasoning of spicy dishes by balancing the heat to allow more of the complex flavors through. It's also popularly consumed on its own as a dip. While some of these things can be accomplished by sour cream or humus, both have their own distinctive qualities that prevent them from being a 1:1 comparison.

Just remember that your high energy and positive vibe are likely the delight of everyone around you. You don't need to be a master planner to keep the spirits high.

This one time I took my them SO, now spouse, to dairy queen. While we're waiting in the drive through we're playfully arguing about her looks because she doesn't see it but to me she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. She hits me with the, "that's just your opinion, no one else thinks so." Moments later, the gal hands us our icecream and my spouse asks her for extra napkins to which the gal replies, "anything for you, gorgeous." WITH THE MOST SENSUAL LESBIAN DELIVERY I'VE EVER HEARD!

Been two years and a marriage since then and I still remind her of that night when she's feeling down on herself. Thank you Dairy Queen lesbian, you're a cornerstone to our marital banter.

But look at him hug his little deets why he sleeps!!

 

15 years ago or so I caught most of an anime movie on tv. It starts with an explanation about how they proved magic exists and starts using it to power everything. When people are exposed to it wrong they turn into these giant visceral monsters and the main character is one of the guys they send in to kill the monsters. There was an emphasis on sigils, the main guy has thus witch girl that paints his magic sigils on him, and I vaguely remember sigils around the muzzles of their guns?

Does anyone know the name of this? I never caught it back in the day and it pops into my head every now and again.

 

Working on an unholy abomination of a diy instrument and I'm planning on using the hardware from an electric guitar I got for free at a yard sale. I already took a deep dive into pickup construction and wiring, but the explanation for where they put them on the guitar mostly in guitar player jargon and I'm not sure if that translates to this.

Basic questions, why are there 3 pickups? Why is one behind where you strum and the other two up front? Is there an ideal placement for different sounds?

Any help would be appreciated, I'm not much of a musician, and this is really just a silly project just to see if I can do it but anything worth doing is worth overdoing and I like the chance to learn.

 
 

I'm building a sort of hybrid between a cello and a hurdy gurdy, but since the cello is larger than the gurty, I can't just slap the key box on the bridge and I don't have or play the cello so I don't know where all the fingerings would need to be.

Could someone who does play help me with measurements and positions?

 

It started as a world building thing and ended up complete enough to actually play. It's a bit like chess but with tiles placed to make the field and a pog like betting system. Everyone I've shown it to tells me I need to publish it, but I have no idea how. Any one here have suggestions?
