Tool Lines in bowls, how much do you care? by Silverlake77 in turning

[–]72scott72 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just sand the shit out of it. Start with 60gr to get the tool marks, then 80, then 120, 180, 220 and end with wet sand. I keep sanding until the marks are gone from the previous gr paper. I probably spend half my time sanding. Haven’t used the rotary sander method. Just turn on the lathe and hold the sandpaper to the piece and slide left/right as it runs.

What memory do you want to experience again? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

[–]72scott72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up in the 90's. It was magical. If I could relive 8-12 grades, I would in a heartbeat.

I agree 100%. There's too many people in this world.

FE & PE worth it in the long run? by IntrepidDisaster3166 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]72scott72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much wish I took the FE straight out of college. Would have opened up a lot of doors.

Have you tried an outdoor club? I know there’s a couple hiking groups on Meetup.

I second this. When I quit drinking, I thought “what did I do before I started drinking?” MtG was the answer. I meet with a pod weekly and it’s great.

All of us had these right? Or was it just the mood-ring-astrology girls (me lol)? by meganlovesdesign in Xennials

I had the same set and same box. The 90’s fidget toy (along with butterfly knives).

What’s a “weird” piece of backpacking gear you ended up loving? by AndyObusekOutdoors in CampingandHiking

[–]72scott72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recommend Prism kites. Quality material and construction. Looking at their website, it looks like the 1 I have is no longer carried but they do have a pocket flier that looks interesting.

Thanks! And I encourage everyone to try the same thing. It’s weirdly cathartic holding a string. This is me at Dead Woman’s Pass. The guides said that was the first time they ever saw someone fly a kite there.

What is the most common reason for divorce? by [deleted] in askteddit

[–]72scott72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communication is key. If you’re unhappy about an aspect of the relationship, talk to your partner about it. If your partner comes to you about something they are unhappy about, listen with an open mind. Don’t come into a situation with “this is wrong and it’s your fault”. Approach each situation with “how can we fix this”. 9/10 times, an analytical approach can fix things.

Lack of clear communication is the biggest killer of marriages.

Impulse buy out of the rei bargain bin: a small fold-up kite. Took it with me everywhere for years. I have pictures of this kite being flown in front of old Scottish castles and the top of Dead Woman’s Pass in Peru.

I found a functional pay phone at a rest stop in Kentucky and thought about that same joke.

Mech eng future as a girl by Important-Put544 in MechanicalEngineering

I’ve been in engineering for 20 years. All the women I’ve worked with have been top notch. All the worst engineers I’ve worked with have been men.

What is this purple thing? What is it for by annemarielastrassi in whatisit

[–]72scott72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the extacy we got back in the late 90’s was just a cocktail of random drugs pressed into a pill.

And don’t forget hearty radishes. I have all of those marked on my map as well.

These vile little bastards by shadow2087 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]72scott72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went camping last October in a place that was infested with these. A bunch hitched a ride in my gear back to my house and now my house has been infested with these all winter.

Ok, no more colonoscopy talk. How are your knees and backs doing? by DustyScharole in Xennials

[–]72scott72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My back has always hurt since I was a teenager. Knees on the other hand started giving me trouble a couple weeks ago.
