  Yeah, just double or so the amount of space you’d need for lifepo4. Good if you have some space

  Chain mail scrubber. That’s my go to as well

  I thought the gardening in NZ thing was legit? Are there not foods you can buy in the store but are illegal to grow yourself?

  I like <method of creating force> + hammer above nail gun but to your second point. Nail guns can be deadly without modification. Just close up work. They sell these and others like them at big box stores. This would be, in my favored naming convention, a gunpowder hammer.

  Cool thx

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"ok, imagine a gun."⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think press works for Caulk and glue. Stapler is used already for the machine that sits on a desk as opposed to the hand held construction style. Finger pointers is certainly descriptive but when people do “finger guns” the thumb usually mimics the hammer action. What else are they miming? Am I so inundated with gun culture I was unable to think of another use for the thumb?

  I think bottles were around before firearms but Staple, nail and Caulk guns were not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"ok, imagine a gun."⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All the things you listed either shoot projectiles and/or have triggers. What else do you call trigger operated projectile launchers? Also Caulk guns legitimately look like old timey machine guns.

  Thanks! I haven’t heard of the author or series so I’m pretty stoked to give it a try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evolution of the k'chain che'malle, pretty much⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve read it. While I appreciate it as a whole, and really like a good bit of it, I found enough of it to be a slog that I only recommend it to people who already read fantasy. Do you have any other recommendations in the same vein?

  One month rent was the going rate for a real estate agent to fill a rental for you in my area 6 months ago

  Thanks, I couldn’t make it out in the full sun on my phone.

  I assume this is something gross but I don’t get it?

  MaybeI’m wrong but I think you might oxidize all your produce faster. I do think you should try though.

  This is useful for those trying to convey more precisely the amount of fucks they give.

  Malazan is the best. It’s the bar by which i measure other fantasy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To me woodwinds and brass seem harder than other instruments. If it were me starting over again I would pick Piano or guitar. There are lots of resources to learn and you can keep trying methods until up find one that clicks with you. Use a metronome, backing tracks, play your scales and practice in time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My foot found the worst Lego that can be stepped on.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s gnarly. I assume the Harry Potter calendar mimics the traditional advent week 2, where Mary and Joseph throw caltrops from Mule back as they flee the evil census takers on their way to start a new life in Bethlehem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many people seem confused about what appeals to male gays? Do they not know how sexual orientation works?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Check out the work of Luca Guadagnino. Very male gaze on male gays. Daniel Craig included.

  I bought some big lifetime thing to astraweb, then the usenet indexer i had used for years shut down. 15 years later I log into astraweb and they have converted my purchase to a set data amount.

  Dark Reader for edge is on here but the Firefox one isn’t listed so I’m good there i guess? Super sad i had to uninstall my cat fact extensions. It was nice to have instant access to cat facts in the menu bar.

  Lol, I see how it reads like wes Anderson I’ve never thought of it that way. I was definitely less clever and not as perfectly dressed. At the time it felt more like something from Richard Linklater.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨POV you and your buddy are transcending the illusion of spacetime but a stranger walks over to ask for directions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was riding a bus once, which was rare at the time as I usually took the street car, and i had taken some acid earlier and was coming back from a 4ish mile walk from the river to a flag store and at the bus stop this guy starts talking and showing me the slingshot he has. He’s telling me all about the different kinds of slingshot and some weird stuff too but the whole time be is shooting dried beans across the street. He’s like a sniper. He’s calling out letters on signs across the street and just nailing them without breaking conversational stride. The bus came and I got on and he didn’t. He wasn’t even waiting for a bus, he was just excited about the slingshot I guess.

  After I got on the bus I sat in a double seat by myself and my friends took similar positions. A lady got on at the next stop and sat next to me. She was a French expat who, at the advice of her psychiatrist, was riding the bus and practicing having conversations with people. She told me all that immediately upon sitting down. Then we had a pretty normal conversation for what felt like forever but could only have been 15 minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But I am mighty!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my experience jibes with that too. I wear sunscreen everyday and I feel like I’m pretty conscientious but I end up getting red by the end of the day often. The problem with it, i find, is that it’s time consuming to do one’s exposed skin properly or it involves another person. I’m either working or recreating outside so I know I miss applications due to impatience and inattention. I switched to pants, hats, and long sleeves for outdoor living the past decade or so and it’s a huge improvement. Just sweatier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But I am mighty!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Reapply q2 hours and every time you use a towel. I don’t think most sunscreen is advertising all day Protection.

  Not to do it once but to do it for hour after hour whole tournament leaves a lot of room mistakes! That’s what separates the wheat from the chaff.
