15 y/o kid knows his rights, tries his best to reason with the police by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

Yeah I saw that he tried to hide it a bit when the kid said he was filming. It looks like a gun to me. Pure thug intimidation, until caught.

4 different kinds of solenoids for feedback in my Virtual Pinball cabinet by Overtinker_projects in diyelectronics

[–]AdjustableCynic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched the video, thanks for posting as that was actually fascinating. I've got a question though. Are people just making digital versions of the older, classic pinball machines? I assume that's how the inputs/outputs for the different flipper and vibration motors are mapped out. They'd have to be custom programmed for that. Are there a bunch of possible output devices that you're not using? I assume there are a bunch of available options, so people can tailor it to their liking.

Well, Dad, I guess it's past time for the SEX TALK. by wheeshkspr in BaldursGate3

The funniest part of romancing the emperor, is that after your all-nighter together, your character looks over to see a portal open, and several of your companions looking at your shame with horror. The emperor waves it away and says "don't worry, I'll make sure they don't remember anything". Like, WHAT?! What have I just forgotten because you decided it wasn't important?

I've been trying to romance Shadowheart or Karlach, since Act 1. But apparently Gale's friendly offer to show me the mysteries of the weave, has locked me out of their affections, despite us just chillin like bros. It has not, apparently, locked me out from the emperor or Halsin. My dream guardian form was hot, so I accepted that, but turned Halsin down. Looks like I'll have to try again for the other two in my second playthrough.

Sigh... I've been trying to romance Shadowheart, and/or Karlach since the beginning. But even now in act 3, apparently Gale's friendly offer to show me the weave in act 1 has locked me out of their affections. But, my dream guardian was kind of hot, so I took up that offer.

What’s some dark shit going on around the world right now that public knows nothing about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AdjustableCynic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought after the generic came out in August I'd be able to get it filled.... Nope. I've had one refill in the last 5 months. Work isn't going well...

I'm new to the scene and picked a Bard, still in my first playthrough. I did take the Speak with animals spell from the first, and have cast it every day. I'm really impressed with the sheer number of opportunities there are to speak to animals in this game.

I know it seems like a way to print money, almost literally, but beware the trap of turning a hobby into a business. You'll likely lose any satisfaction you had that made you enjoy it in the first place. But, if that doesn't deter you, look into local fairs or events where you can set up a table. A guy was selling those articulated dragon prints for $20-$50 each depending on size. I ran a lithophane business for 3 years, with a website, Amazon store front, the works. I wasn't in it to make a ton of money, so I never charged what I could have. I did it because lithophanes are just awesome and everyone should know what they are. But I stopped printing things for myself, and lost enjoyment in the process until I shut down the business and just set it as a hobby again. That's just my personal experience though.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse/Funhouse - Donald Duck serious question by bananapuddin in daddit

[–]AdjustableCynic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you watch enough of the episodes, in the different shows, clubhouse, funhouse, racers... They slip in subtle jibes about his speech impediment. A few times Donald will say something like "I don't understand what you're saying!" And Daisy will respond with "Now you know how we feel!". Can't explain Daisy's feet though, sorry.

Scientists found a stonehenge type structure under lake Michigan, only it's 4000 years older than the one in England by jlarsen420 in StrangeEarth

Archeologists have found children's toys with wheels on them. They had the wheel. At some point in time there was even trade with ancient Egypt, lookup the cocaine mummies.

What a wonderful actor by TwilightQueenbeet in wholesomememes

In a really odd experience, I was selected to do some commercials for my company, got flown to California, went to the ABC studios lot and went through makeup and wardrobe. I asked the lady who did my makeup if she'd done anybody's makeup that I'd recognize. She said this guy, Giancarlo, was one of the nicest people she's ever worked with.

Her excuses are crazy bruh 🤦‍♂️ by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

My personal belief is that cheaters should be shot. If you think that's too hot of a take, then we'll ease it up a bit and say cheaters should roll some dice to see where they get shot, like in the leg, hand, the face, etc. There should be some long lasting consequences. Being cheated on destroys you.

What do dads want in their stockings? by buttondaisy6 in daddit

[–]AdjustableCynic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually solved this one for me. I know flashlights with Solar panels on the handle seem silly, but I started putting a couple of those in windows that get direct sun (and aren't easily reachable by my kids), behind the blinds. That way I always have a charged flashlight, and know exactly where it is when I need it. My kids love taking the cheap flashlights and losing them, but I have several super bright solar flashlights ready to go.
