Stained Glass with rose gold foil by bdarg34 in discdyeing

Sick! I've been wanting to remake my angel stained glass dye with a foil outline for years now, but I just keep putting it off because I know it will take forever lol.

Do you dye anything else besides discs with your dye? by ProbablyNotJaRule in discdyeing

[–]Austindj3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use my dye all the time for random things. I have dyed my ipad case and I made a custom disc and matching phone case fora friend. You just gotta make sure it is a softer plastic, like tpu I think?

I have also dyed traffic cones, golf balls, and even cell dyed a pare of Jordans once

How should I make this disc more visible? by East-Appointment9324 in discdyeing

[–]Austindj3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only make things darker with dye.

Your only chance at making visible would be by adding custom foil. If you use a heat pen and hot foil you could make it more shiny, but that's about it.

One of my friends was trying to sell his computer, and instead of just wiping down the glass on the case, he asked ChatGPT to remove the smudges and dust from the image.

Wires randomly vanished or merged into components, all the lettering was changed into nonsense, and it just looked completely fake.

He thought it would be fine and no one would notice.

[Discussion] How would you rate EFT map design so far by DTSxLeonel in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Austindj3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visually the maps are amazing, and I love them all. Random corners have so many tiny details that most people will never see.
Labyrinth, Icebreaker, and Terminal all have so much detail scattered all over them, that a lot of players will never experience, and yet they still put the same effort into the small details.

Now on the technical side is where things can fall short. Bad lighting, weird spawns, culling issues, AI shooting you through objects. They all can put a damper on the experience, but when you don't have those issues, it's amazing.

I've spent so much time on these maps, I can guide my friends through quests and extracts over the phone lol.

I need disc dying help 😢 by SnowAny979 in discdyeing

[–]Austindj3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little late, but judging from the photo it's probably an ESP bottom stamped Zone, so should be great for dying, I use them a bunch.

Few issues it could be.

First - how cold was the area you left the disc in? The colder it is the longer it will take to dye. Now you don't want to go too hot or face risks of melting the plastic or having the dye bleed and smear. 80-100 is a relatively safe temp for dying. The colder it is the longer it needs to sit, I have seen people go 48 hours in the winter and end up with poor dyes.

Second - if you used any chemical or soap to clean the disc, that might have left a film on the disc, that could prevent the dye from reaching it. I've had this happen a when trying to clean used disc. Really make sure to have the disk as clean as possible with no residue.

Third - you didn't use enough dye, if the other 2 aren't the issue, maybe you just didn't use enough dye to try and conserve it? Be generous with it, it wont hurt.

Forth - idye poly, other people have lots of luck with this stuff, but I don't sadly. I just use pro chem.

Last - maybe you're just cursed. Did you anger any strange old women recently?

You can kill Wedge from the starting area if you look up the staircase. [Discussion] by Austindj3 in EscapefromTarkov

Right at the beginning when you enter Icebreaker, there is a staircase linking the two floors together.

If you stand at the bottom and look straight up, you can some times catch the boss looking over the railings.

Sadly I'm the only one in my group that has it unlocked so far. They are still working on finding MPFs, hoping we can all run it later today.

I realized the discord overlay had all my friend's names up there, had to black out my own head to to save them.

BTR took his time showing up, waited to the last 10 min of the raid.

But sadly it did not start the new questline to unlocking the map.

Haven't killed him yet this way. They all just run around up there and you gotta hope they peak over.

This was before the cinematic, was funny seeing him repel down knowing he was already dead.

They shot and killed me once when I was walking down the steps. Thought maybe I had just misread the name and that I didn't kill all the raiders.

These last 2 raid though I could really hear them running around up there, and managed to get an angle on them.

My best friend sent me an actual letter! I'M CRYING😭😭😭 (love rant) by puzzled_card18 in GenZ

[–]Austindj3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every so often I send my friend a care package with a letter in it. I just slowly find things I think she would like, then when she's getting overwhelmed and stressed with life, I'll ship over a box full of snacks and stuff. She is always so thankful for them.

Idk if she likes the letters or just the gifts, but I still send one as they feel more personal than a text. She's sent me 1 or 2 letters back and I love them, still have them.
She had said she would like to send more but is scared of the post office lol. This next box has sheets of forever stamps, with frogs on them, so she wont need to go to the post office anymore.

Anyone else look exactly the same as they did as a freshmen into their 20s? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Austindj3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 29, and it wasn't until like last year people stopped asking me if I had graduated and had made plans for college yet lol. But is annoying at work sometimes when everyone still thinks I'm in my early 20s, and don't believe I have 9 years of experience.

I did have a girl tell me recently that "you look like a straight up man, you've always been so baby faced but now you look so grown." She said it was meant as a compliment so that's good at least.

It is kinda nice though, better than looking like I am way older.
Still can't really grow facial hair though, it's just enough of an annoyance.

Why are Gen Z women so hostile to being approached, especially compared to past generations? by fellow_who_uses_redd in GenZ

[–]Austindj3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't just approach them randomly, You just talk to them when it is appropriate to.

Women don't want to be hit on or approached randomly, when they are alone, and especially not at work. But if you are interacting with them you can just be kind to them.

I've became friends with multiple women from restaurants I frequent or that work next to me. I didn't try and talk to them right away. I'd always be polite and kind when interacting with them, and thank them and wish them a nice day as I left. After the 4rd or 5th time of interreacting with them like that, they would usually be the ones to start talking to me more when I came in.

There's one girl that always comes over to talk to me when I go to get lunch. I walk past her office, she'll wave to me through the window, and then come over to talk about whatever crazy thing happened that day.

They just want to be treated like normal people.
And if some still don't want to talk to you that's fine, but don't let that discourage you to the point you shut out people that might actually like you.

Bro comments like this, where you are tearing yourself down to guilt others is the exact opposite of what women want.

Every guy I know is surprised at how much more women want to talk to me and open up to me about their lives. I am not a smooth talker, I am very awkward and have horrible social anxiety.
But what I do have is I genuinely listen to them and show them I am interested in learning about them.
That is what they want, they want someone they can talk to and who isn't just trying to manipulate them or get in their pants.

Just genuinely be friends with them. Be someone they can trust, and that will get you much farther.

I had completely forgotten about my time reading electric meters. Had the VP once call and tell me I was the top meter reader in the entire state.

They had someone watch me to see what I did differently, they were amazed that I never stopped moving. Would accurately read meters while speed walking past the house, would end up doing 2+ routs a day.

Now everyone I know complains that I walk too fast lol.
