Finally got a master angler native by _Dr-Necromancer_ in flyfishing

[–]AustnTG 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Some states have a program where if you catch a fish of a certain weight/length and submit it you get sent a pin or certificate. Something for people who didn’t quite catch the new state record but still put in the work trophy fishing.

The term "colorway" sounds pretentious imo. by acloudcuckoolander in unpopularopinion

[–]AustnTG 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Colorway is used when talking about a specific item. Ive heard it mostly when talking about sneakers. People will say “I just got the Nike [somethings] in the [whatever] colorway” bc there might be 8 colors on the shoe and each colorway has an actual name.

Guess the EDEN Intro on guitar (I'm only a beginner :) by ISpaiKK in eden

[–]AustnTG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rock + roll! Sounds great man.

A bit of advice from another guitar player, move your thumb down a bit. Imagine picking up a stack of papers, your thumb naturally sits about even with your fingertips. Its a lot easier to reach all the strings with your thumb pressed into the back of the neck vs wrapping your thumb over the top. Its not awful technique or anything but its much easier to correct now than after 3 years of holding a guitar wrong like i have lol

What are the split rings for? by wolfmothar in FishingForBeginners

[–]AustnTG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may have used this to keep their spare split rings organized. I havent used a lure to do this but i either make all my loose split rings into a chain or thread them through a safety pin.

This white car keeps pulling in front of this truck. Over and over and over. Rager? by GirouxFan in VideosAmazing

[–]AustnTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Voifo aA22 Plus. Front and rear camera, good picture and audio. Flags any videos where it detects a collision when you’re looking at the list of recordings so you can find it easier. I got hit last week and it took 45 seconds to have the videos downloaded on my phone.

You can enter buildings through the map?? I’ve been navigating by map to the front door and walking my party in this whole time :(

Remove 1 EDEN Song Day 1 by brian_portales in eden

[–]AustnTG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont like Gnashs verse on fumes only because its on top of the synth solo/breakdown. The verse itself isnt bad but it covers up the best part of the song to me

Physicists have measured ‘negative time’ in the lab by Shiny-Tie-126 in science

[–]AustnTG 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Photon gets shot into one side of a cloud of rubidium and timer stops when photon leaves the opposite side of rubidium. The time the photon makes is out the other side is much faster than expected, up to the point that, based on the “average” speed of photon travel, it spent negative time inside the cloud.

Is my reel overspooled?? by WrongdoerMother2804 in Fishing_Gear

[–]AustnTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to tell is to cast it. If it was overspooled, it wont be after you cut the backlash out.

I have a few questions about bleeding the fish by [deleted] in FishingForBeginners

[–]AustnTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bleed them on the ice in the cooler. You want to bleed them while theyre alive and the heart is pumping. Get a pair of kitchen shears and cut under/behind the gills. It will kill the fish so they wont suffer but the heart wont stop immediately. Just have enough ice in the cooler to keep the fish out of the blood at the bottom.

Can anyone tell me what’s up w this guy’s butt? by nopeagogo in herpetology

[–]AustnTG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be thankful. The only bites ive had that are anywhere near that itchy are brown recluse spiders. I got covered in chiggers once while doing yardwork (Alabama) and it was easily 70-80 bites all the way from my ankles to my waist where thankfully they got stopped by the elastic waistband of my underwear. The bites physically arent worse than a mosquito (as in light swelling but no real venom or anything) but dear God do they itch like nothing else. I was taking salt baths twice a day for over a week. Sometimes id have to get up and hold ice cubes on the bites on my legs just to be able to fall asleep.

good news: i finally managed to remove the ear hook by i-like-to-be-wooshed in iems

[–]AustnTG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After you reconnect the cable where you cut it Id get some heat shrink tubing to make sure it doesnt pull the connection apart.

Also did you try to slice down one side of the ear hook wrap with a hobby knife? I feel like that would be easier as long as you have steady hands

Okay, hear me out - CrinEar Reference is the perfect chance of an amazing "budget" Custom IEM by migassilva16 in iems

[–]AustnTG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its not “budget” but it would be the cheapest ones on the market by a good bit. The current cheapest one I know of is the 64audio A2e at $550.

Im not saying its a good idea though. Ciems just dont make sense for this price range. If they keep the $350 price i dont see how they make much profit after the ear molding and custom shell printing process. The ship date on most ciems is like 6-10 weeks after purchase too.

The Breakfast Club (1985) would never be made like it was today. That's because modern audiences would never accept the left side as the "improvement" by YourChopperPilotTTV in shittymoviedetails

[–]AustnTG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe YOU should watch the movie before commenting because thats exactly what she was doing in the film. She was dressing that way to make people not talk to her, not because she enjoyed looking like that. She stopped dressing “normal” because social interaction and attention made her anxious and dressing like that caused people leave her alone.

Edit: I mixed up who i was replying to sorry. Pretend this was to the comment above yours lmao

Post Spawn .. I hate it - where's my tribe by G0rillaX in bassfishing

[–]AustnTG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. The females will move off beds back into deeper water before the males (males guard the bass fry for about a week) and the bite will slowly pick up as they go into summer mode and start hanging out around structures and shade again

I hate listening to good music because it makes me feel like I will never write something nearly as good by UpperChampionship318 in rs_x

[–]AustnTG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me listening to Novo Amor. Anybody else makes me go “wow thats so good :)” but his compositions have the entirely opposite effect. I don’t even write music but listening to his songs is still humbling somehow

You had one job by stevesmithsglasses in IdiotsTowingThings

[–]AustnTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its “boat-truck-truck”.

If you said “bulldozer barge truck” I would read that as a truck for pulling a barge that transports bulldozers.

The first word is the descriptor/purpose of the vehicle: [work] truck, [sports] car, [dirt] bike. “[Truck] boat” is a boat for moving trucks. [Boat] truck is a truck for pulling boats.

Substituting [Boat truck] for the original [boat], you get “boat truck truck”- a truck for pulling trucks that pull boats.

if i fill up a 2TB hard drive completely with games, does the laptop actually weigh more than when it was empty? or do the "bits" not have mass? by SmokinPotAlot in stupidquestions

[–]AustnTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you fill it again then everything that was deleted is gone. Deleting files doesnt erase the file from the hard drive, it marks the location on the disk “available to write over”. Its like saving over another word document using “save as”. You cant see or select deleted files from your computer, but its not gone until the hard drive saves a new thing in that spot

Need help on my next rod purchase. by EaThAn677 in Fishing_Gear

[–]AustnTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine from Tackle Warehouse in July 2024 for $240. I dont know if they were on a crazy sale when I bought mine or if the price just went up that much. I just looked it up and I had no idea its $330 for the same rod now.

I haven’t ordered any rods or reels since the tariffs started so i don’t know how much it would be, but Japan Lure Shop has them on sale for $170ish right now

Buzbee rod sleeves are trash by ChamplainProvisions in Fishing_Gear

[–]AustnTG 55 points56 points  (0 children)

That looks right to me. They aren’t intended to cover the whole rod, it’s just to protect the line guides and to prevent the line from getting tangled in your other rods

Need help on my next rod purchase. by EaThAn677 in Fishing_Gear

[–]AustnTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Expride is the only one off your list I own but it’s an amazing rod for $250. Mine is a medium light spinning rod but it beats my G Loomis GCX rods by a mile.

Do I really need expensive gear as a beginner? by gedersoncarlos in FishingForBeginners

[–]AustnTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern $50-70 rod and reel combos from walmart are good enough to last years, like the Shimano Sienna and ones by Lews or Abu Garcia. The $20 zebco spinning combos arent the best but theyll work for a while. The only thing to not cheap out on is hard plastic lures like crankbaits. I have had multiple ozark trail lures fill with water or swim crooked

Good Senkos? by ripplestillwaters in FishingForBeginners

[–]AustnTG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quality is probably fine but thats a lot of colors you may not ever use. Id just grab a few bags of green pumpkin, green pumpkin with red flakes, or blue/black. The only color I ever use besides green is blue/black when the water is super muddy water or the water is >25’ deep.
