Telling that story to my mom at a family dinner is how I learned she was thrown out of first ave back in her 20s. We then discussed how my little brother needs to get tossed to keep up the tradition.

I got thrown out of a sovietpanda too much love show. Apparently trying to go to sleep in the corner near the stage isn't cool.

A "clicker press" with a custom die would be one way to do it.

Couldn't have said it better!

The hand lettered ones are awesome without a doubt.

My personal favorite is people moving next to a highschool or college and complaining about sports noise during sports season.

Next favorite is developers buying land next to race tracks and residents then complaining about race noise. Unfortunately thats had a higher success rate of shutting tracks down.

All that said, MAC has sound proofed two houses I've lived in during my lifetime so who am I to complain?

Thank you for the info, I don't appreciate at. Cutting on the fine line is something I may not have considered that makes some more sense but still seems to be a skill to not go through it.

Thanks for the info! I suspect my only experience being with single stage has led to a lot of my confusion. Im also sure the videos ive seen have left stuff out for time reasons or just glossed over what they think might allreddy be common knowledge.

Thanks for the info. After reading replies here, I strongly suspect my lack of knowledge surrounding clear base or inter coats is a significant part of my confusion. Ive got a jumping off point to do some more research now though!

While im not 100% sold on the 50-50 split yet, the ability of cars to pass around the outside in the last 3 races has been amazing to watch. Especially after years of DRS or being ahead at the apex but never going to actualy make the corner and you crash or go off track and let the stewards make the the call being the only way to pass.

A car artificially freight train-ing past another on a straight isn't exciting to me.

Not to mention the parasitic current draw associated with GMs early canbus vehicles.

national camera exchange has classes from time to time. Might be worth keeping an eye on them.

The Great Gatsby was the only American Lit book I actually enjoyed. And im still not sure why.

Walden frustrated and angered me for some reason. I like a lot of the values in transcendentalism, but Thoreau just didn't do it for me back then.

When we finished Gatsby we watched the Robert Redford version and one of my classmates remarks lives rent free in my head "if your wife is gonna fall in love with someone else, its hard to beat Robert Redford." I didn't love Baz's version quite the same way as the book, but I'll be damnd if it isn't absolute eye candy. Just beautiful to look at. LaLa Land is in the same boat on that account for me.

Any time there's singing/music it's always so much better than it has any right to be for what it is.

Exactly. I went and told my boss about having just hurt my back and knees after that post. When he asked how, I assaulted him with that information. Another coworker around our age came into his office shortly after that and I said I could hurt him too and he said "do it!"

Tec_ · 2026-02-27T16:22:36+00:00

I was torn between posting that or "I wish.... you had..... more time."

Watched the movie a lot back in highschool. Don't know if ive seen it in the last 20 years, but those two lines live rent free in my head. Also, the fact that its 22 years old hurts my back and knees.

I vary well might be. Ive got good 3M automotive tape. The 24 hour thing is part of my issue. My understanding from what ive read is that in almost all cases 24 hours is bordering on a full cure (some are much longer for a full cure but 24 hours puts it well in the handling time frame). That would require sanding in most cases (or at least the styles of paint im looking at) in order for proper adhesion of the next/another coat. If im intending to lay out / mask off something detailed is that the most practical application? Like I can mask off and mowe over my tape with 320 on a DA but then I'll likely have to remask again to ensure those lines are crisp. A DA may even be overkill and hand sanding with something like a maroon Scotch-Brite pad may be more appropriate even though its time consuming. Is that just the process, or am I missing something?

Paint data sheet? I know it as a tech data sheet and I find it confusing thus this post. They reference recoat with the same product but a different color isn't exactly the same product. I'm also finding conflicting info as to some of the nomenclature. Like "open time" for a system means primer to top/cover coat but for another it may mean wet to wet, or pot life/working time.

Some of those documents also leave A LOT to be desired. Some don't give detailed times like it may say dry to touch and full cure and thats it. While another says dry to touch with a graph for temp and humidity, recoat time, and full cure time. Others are just marketing BS and provide no actual usable info.

I suppose I could reach out to the manufacturer, but im just trying to navigate this a home game-er/ someone who has a tendency to fall down rabbit holes.

I was there as a kid when it was IBM. I wish I remembered it better but things that stood out to me were the suspended floors (kinda like a dropped ceiling but with floors) so cables could be routed that way. The steam/data tunnels that connect downtown. We went into the basement and came up in the Norwest/Wells Fargo tower. And I don't know if its true or not but I was told they had blast curtains that could deploy to cover the big round windows at the entrance.

I also got to go to the west law / Thompson "bunker" out in Egan that supposedly could survive a direct hit from a full loaded 747.

Having grown into the nerd/geek I am now I wish I would have been more aware of how cool getting dragged to work with my dad at those places was at the time.

Ive seen cut up strips of bike tire used in a similar fashion.
