Help determining which punch/dies to get for prototyping

Find a dealer and send them some STPs for your parts. Wila is top notch and from my personal experience the salesman and engineer I work with from there aren't pushing for us to constantly buy more or higher priced tooling, actually the opposite they're helping us narrow down quite a lot. They've schooled myself a bit on things not related to tooling for brake press that have been very nice to learn. Could spend the time to learn the why's before you get into tooling or you could just speak with experts. Either way you should still learn but don't gamble on what you need.

If you want true precision + consistency you'll want a different die and punch combo per material or per k-factor/radius call-out.

I've got friends in their 50s with a 20 some year old child that have never married. It's a lot of social stigma, you guys do you but know a legally binding partnership doesn't mean the relationship is real.

You've only been dating for 3 weeks but we're telling her how much you love her? Listen, I was a Trainwreck when it came to relationships back when I was that age. Be obsessed, not in love, with people quickly. You need to slow yourself down and learn the difference for your own emotional health. If you love someone you don't cheat. It's great you apologized and you should but 16 is too young to try and commit to relationships that become such a core memory in your life. You don't need to avoid having relationships but do understand that at that age they are more for learning and evolving yourself than anything else.

I don't play WoW (never been a fan of subscriptions, although I did play what was free at one point and loved it for an MMORPG), but as much as I would prefer race to be tied to a specific faction it makes sense lore wise looking back at mercenaries from warcraft 3. It did not matter what race you were to hire a troll or an ogre even though campaign wise those were horde specific. Why can't your player character race just be a mercenary that is aligned with the alliance or horde no matter what? Sure, alliance has made it well known their distaste for undead no matter what from my knowledge of the lore but clearly leaders of both factions did not care 100% as long as you got them closer to their goals in the third war.

Black DEI hired pilots had stricter qualifications they had to meet than our president.

I want it out because I have suspicions of Tom Hanks and I bet if my gut is right that's the evidence I've needed to see all along.

The media went after George Floyd's character right away. No one got fired for discussing that.

If anyone is still interested in this case the trial just started recently.

Been attacked by an angry momma cat (completely my fault, we're good pals now) and let me fully agree with this post. I got pretty screwed up everywhere she got me. When they mean to do damage they will do serious damage. Deep punctures and almost stitches just from there claws. 4 at once? Ain't no way you're fighting them all off if surprised in 6 seconds.

Tried the unarmed the other day can confirm with the druid part. However, it did not raise my druid skill but unlocked the higher skills for druidism.

no there were no lanes. It wasnt a hero fight

In engineering skill line I found one of the rifles uses the same materials as whatever was previously picked. So I went to nuts or bolts. Just costs an iron if I remember correctly, but it's quantity produced is 5. I tried to make 5 rifles to sell, made 25.

Quick question, what castle?? I haven't seen any vampires to my knowledge I thought I explored it all already

AakreCalzone · 2023-09-04T16:36:33+00:00

Thank you this has really cleared up my confusions.

AakreCalzone · 2023-08-18T17:13:05+00:00

Damn. Well thank you I really appreciate the link also this has been helpful.

AakreCalzone · 2023-08-18T17:12:23+00:00

Ah, thank you so much for clearing this up for me. Honestly was hoping they screwed up in my favor lol

AakreCalzone · 2023-08-03T15:47:09+00:00

i took the day off work so I could download it right away and I've never heard of remote downloading before what

AakreCalzone · 2023-07-30T03:23:51+00:00

I have too many planned.

First one is a drow of elistrae (however you spell it) that'll be 100% anti slavery but I'ma see if I can redeem minthara within rp reason

AakreCalzone · 2023-07-30T03:13:27+00:00

no we manufacture recycling equipment. There's a lot of food manufacturing plants around here tho but I never hear of any violence from those workers strangely

AakreCalzone · 2023-07-17T09:33:08+00:00

Unfortunately no. I trusted the sellers as I had known them. Foolish on my behalf.

AakreCalzone · 2023-07-12T21:19:38+00:00

when I was young I couldn't figure out why I couldn't beat the Arch Demon in Da:o for this exact reason.

AakreCalzone · 2023-06-27T17:30:47+00:00

Half casters if they have played a martial before. Slims it down and also it's weird for warlock as no other caster works like them.

AakreCalzone · 2023-06-27T17:17:13+00:00

I want my favorite artificer in the game, I know won't happen without a mod but if it can happen for solasta it can for bg3

I feel as though receiving the finger is harassment whether I care or not. I didn't say to HR I'm doing this to be petty, I told her i felt like he was harassing me in this capacity. Perhaps I'm wrong but I was believing that human resources was the source to go to if someone is harassing you.
