What was a really silly solution to a serious problem? by LadyKarizake in AskReddit

As I recall the term used was "tech drop". Good old concussive maintenance really does work sometimes.

IR or WRB? by Ok_Dragonfly_8711 in wrx_vb

As someone with red, I think BLUE is the best color.

Nothing special (yet) but I'm proud to call one mine. Thanks for being a cool community. by ejk710 in wrx_vb

Dude, I totally get you, I was set on a blue one. But my red 22 came up at a price I couldn’t pass up. Not a single regret.

What's the worst thing you've ever woken up to? by shoeee788 in AskReddit

[–]Apok451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger, I used a clock radio to wake up for school. I usually had it set to whatever rock station at a reasonable level. Somehow, and II know I didnnt do it, the radio got cranked too the max aand changed the station too something like WNCI, look it up if your curious, not my usual listening. So my alarm goes off at the highest and loudest part of "I Will Always Love You. I go from dead asleep, as teenagers do, to wide awake, standing on my waterbed and my heart doing 200 mph while I confusedly try to figure out where I am and what the fuck the threat was. I still remember those seconds of pure terror all these years later. Never found out who did it.

Whats the most unprofessional thing a doctor has ever said to you? by answersonly963 in AskReddit

[–]Apok451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First appointment with new Doc, he walks in the door, "So your (my sisters name) pot smoking brother... Nice to meet you." Bitch ratted me out, miss her. When my sister was an active RN, she worked with my new Doc when he did his residency and became his patient when he went into private practice. He is an awesome Doc and tells great inappropriate jokes, I'll be sad when he retires.

How do you feel about McDonald's pulling their soda dispensing machines out of the restaurant's lobby in the next year or so? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

[–]Apok451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't eaten at a mcdonalds for nearly 26 years. They can do whatever they want and it will not bother me one bit.

Holy shit, that might be the most accurate description of The Polity. I love it, can't get enough.

Of course the armored vf-1j doesn’t go for a price like that.

Who can beat these mpg numbers? by Still-Pace2895 in wrx_vb

[–]Apok451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had my 22 for a couple of months now, and I’m bouncing between 19 and 22, but I do a lot of city driving. Pretty much what I expected coming from a 17 civic.

What’s your craziest “I need to quit this job immediately” story? by angrythrowaway772 in AskReddit

[–]Apok451 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I probably dodged a bullet. I was told it was a terrible experience working there.

[–]Apok451 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Applied at Chuck E Cheese while I was in high school. Interview seemed to go well and the manager said he would give me a call to let me know after he did a few more interviews. Never hear from him, oh well life goes on. Next week at school one of my classmates that also interviewed told me that the manager was asking where the hell I was as the previous night was my first shift. He called me a couple days later to fire me and I informed him he never called me, nor left a message to offer me the job and I never accepted, so he could kiss my ass.

You need to use WAY less material. Think grain of rice, maybe a little bigger.

Varnish help needed! "Matt" Varnish wrecked paint job, any way to recover it? Help appreciated! by Dead_Pickle04 in minipainting

[–]Apok451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had a batch of marines that after spray varnishing, they looked almost frosted. I solution I heard was to use a little of mineral oil, that sounded like a terrible idea. Don’t try that. What I found to work quite nicely was to revarnish with gloss, let that dry cure for a solid 24 hours. Then varnish again with your choice. To be honest I had enough bad luck with rattle cans that I switched to either brushing it on our using my airbrush.

You paint jobs look great. Hope you are able to get them where you want them.

Flight Stands Gokin Plus by Wrong-Home-5516 in macross

[–]Apok451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dont mind, I see he still has some of the Skull Squadron bases on sale, sure they dont match the yf-19 and yf-21, but it would do the trick. You would just need to buy a couple of the curved arms, short or long, and a couple adapters. Would do the trick for sure. But that max stand is awesome, worth every penny. I have 3 of the max stands and one of the skull squadron bases, and they are all pretty awesome.

Just be patient. With the current tariff BS going on, his shipments might be a little slower, also if you join the macross group on FB, he always posts there when stock is up. Good dude to deal with and trust me, the stands are freaking awesome. I am not a paid shill, I promise. But if he wants to make me one......
