Nothing. That isn’t soldered. It’s mig welded. Also, the welds wouldn’t look like that if it were actually done right there on the wood. It’s AI\photoshop, or they made the welds elsewhere and then put it up against the wood and torched the area to burn it.
- Comment on My friend got hacked and of course microsoft will not even try to help 1 week ago:
I’m in my 40’s and have always been a tech nerd. I have no personal information or pictures I don’t want to get out saved in the cloud. All of my things are only locally saved and backed up. I also keep multiple emails with different passwords and names. My Microsoft account I do have is verified for changes through a non Microsoft email address.
It would be a pain in the ass to screw with me in any major capacity. Quite frankly, I’m still surprised that the masses just accept cloud saving all their pictures and documents, just trusting Amazon or Google or Apple or Microsoft to not have security issues, especially when they’ve had so many security issues.

I’m actually watching the original buffy right now for the first time, even though I was a highschool kid when it originally aired.
Go watch that. It holds up very well. I’m about to start season 6 (of 7) right now. Only thing that dates it really, is that no one has cell phones. They were common to have in the mid 90’s to early 2000’s when the show aired, but tons of movies and TV shows around then chose to mostly ignore their existence because they blocked off or simplified so many plot points and story lines. It’s strange to think that no one beyond my generation will know what it was like to not have cell phones and the internet.

After hearing about the reboot like 6 months ago I got to thinking about how I never really watched the original back when I was a teen. I’m about to start season 6 now and it’s been a very binge watchable show so far. Still holds up nicely.
Maybe in another 25 years I’ll get around to watching the reboot.

Anyone been playing it on steam deck? How’s the fps? Is the text very hard to read?
- Comment on mobile gaming 4 weeks ago:
It’s pretty nice that a game of it isn’t neverending and doesn’t take all too long since defeating it is only 15 rounds, but it does take a lot of reading descriptions of all the different symbols and really thinking about how they’ll work with what you have at the time so you have to give it more mental focus than your typical candy crush type of game. Steeper learning curve and more mentally stimulating, which could either be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you like.

Dragonball super has pretty great dubs. So does cowboy bebop. NGE also is pretty good. FMA Brotherhood also does a great job. So is My Hero Academia.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 5 weeks ago:
Now factor in the cost savings from a lower server load and less staff to run the back end, and possibly the smaller licensing\use costs for the games available to play since less people would be accessing those games.

We won’t have the surface of the earth trashed so badly we have to live above it and since there’s no longer wildlife have to consume everything in pill form? To get our calories and nutrition?
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 1 month ago:
This going to be a total venture capitalist play. It was already set the the fifty billion dollar acquisition was also going to be placing EA in like twenty billion in debts. They’ll flood it with more debts, piece the IP’s all out, legal launder the money, and take ea into bankruptcy.
EA is dead.

- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 1 month ago:
Oxygen is so bad for you, too. It literally damages cells. I don’t mean this ironically or anything else. It is physically bad for you to breathe pure oxygen.
- Comment on yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrk 1 month ago:
I understand what you’re saying (call it like a 10" 100 pound tungsten ball vs a 5" 50 pound tungsten ball) but your reasoning and logic of being essentially the same are just silly and the math that would dictate when each would land in atmosphere would still line up perfectly (which would be that the heaviest one will hit first). even if it were a 10,000 pound ball and a 5,000 pound ball.
- Comment on yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrk 1 month ago:
Not at all. Our air is made up of physical objects (molecules of oxygen and nitrogen, mostly). Things with more mass, more quickly knock those out of the way.
For a demonstration you can see and more easily wrap your head around, take something just barely heavier than water, and a similarly sized heavy rock and drop them in a pool. You’ll see how much quicker the rock gets to the bottom, because it displaces the water so much faster. Our atmosphere is the exact same.

And the iron would hit the ground much faster because it pushes air molecules out of the way quicker.

His family and city was, but it pretty likely seems he was not. Hard to be a republican if you’re living with (and allegedly dating) a trans.
