To be fair personally I have never even seen a Costco.

I have in fact lived through a few near-castration experiences with the crank of my bench vice.

Can we rename the sub to “nevermindactually”?

I tend to fall asleep out of nowhere. Sometimes it looks like I got shot. Sometimes my legs are crossed or my hands are folded behind my head. Sometimes I fall asleep on the floor while playing with the cat.

Always sleeping with one brown eye open

“Hey Neville, here’s your Remembrall back.”
“You were always nice to me, Potter. Don’t come to potions class tomorrow.”

First of all it’s your hobby and you can do whatever you want forever. That being said if you want to improve your skills you won’t get there by relying on shortcuts. Drawing is 10% talent and 90% practice as are many creative skills. There are great tutorials out there to teach you about proportions, perspective, lighting and so on. And the most important thing is persistence. Draw everything you want to and try not to care too much about the outcome. If you stay at it then sooner or later you will be able to draw all sorts of things just like you imagined them without even thinking about it.

Is “mechatronic” a job description in English? I’m not sure what the accurate translation would be otherwise but it’s a mix of metalworking, electrical engineering and programming. We mostly repair industrial electric motors and big ass generators used in hydroelectric power plants.

Precision vernier caliper

I’m just done with a three month manual metalworking course as part of my electrical engineering apprenticeship. I’ve done a fair bit of woodworking in the past so it was interesting to see how those two compare. I’m personally not a huge fan of 3D printing so it’s nice that I can make a whole bunch of stuff like housings or replacement parts from metal now.

Baby’s first spinach poo

I play it in bursts every few months when I feel that space exploration itch. Usually there’s a new feature or two whenever I pick it up. So yeah, fan of the game and the company behind it.

At least in Europe most of our governments have made it amply clear that they would return to the status quo in a heartbeat. With some concessions, sure, and there’s a lot of market related damage that they couldn’t undo if they wanted to but the general sentiment seems to be that “we had a good thing going”. Trump is entirely unpredictable as a partner but I don’t see things as hopeless long term.

Bomb squad

Thanks for asking, I do not.

People say scolding cats doesn’t work but when mine started doing this I responded by yelling “NO” at the top of my lungs which caused her to evacuate at full speed. Took about 4 or 5 times until the behavior stopped and she’s just as affectionate. She still wakes me up from time to time but only by meowing and not as early.

If only there was another way to play Skyrim

I have a selection of custom names that I usually choose from depending on genre and the characters appearance. It’s like a mix of self insertion and roleplaying.

In 3 days:

My neigbors are doing this weird fetish thing where one openly shits on the ground and the other one watches from the safety of his shrubbery. What do I do??

I wholeheartedly don’t care about any of that. I just go with the flow and give the present moment my full attention.
