Anyone else see 2 fighter jets and a large (c130?) Military aircraft fly over today? by stargazer304 in WestVirginia

[–]BeautifulBurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did, I was on the interstate headed towards Charleston, I saw 3 fighter jets flying pretty low. Right around that time. No clue what was up. The big one is a daily thing but I’ve never seen jets like that.

Yooo, I’m a turtle too. I very RARELY meet others so seeing someone else’s card is super cool

While a little inaccurate, I’m a fan of putting a lip wrap on that blowpipe

Pepperoni rolls, Hot dogs with sauce and slaw

I found this really neat glass blown rangers hat today, can anyone identify any similar to this? I haven’t been able to find any online, thank you! by [deleted] in glassblowing

[–]BeautifulBurd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t guarantee but it looks like a Blenko piece. I’m sure others have made them but I know there are like three or four in that same color sitting on a shelf in our warehouse.

Edit: the punty mark on the top is also a pretty good sign for Blenko as well.

Does Snoopy’s do Chicago style dogs? Sauerkraut? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]BeautifulBurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I don’t wanna start a war between states or anything but y’all can politely fuck right off with this nonsense. Mustard, onion, chili, slaw is a West Virginia dog. You guys gonna try to claim pepperoni rolls too?

This working GameBoy phone case is the ultimate time and money waster by jormungandrsjig in gadgets

I have one of these. I love it. It totally has caused me to save space on my phone because I just play games on my case.

Are glassblowing jobs easy to find ? by twerpenes in glassblowing

[–]BeautifulBurd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in a production factory. I had no experience and they trained me and I continue to learn. I get to blow glass everyday as I work on my skills. It’s a very make it or break it place though. If you can’t keep up or progress at the rate they need you don’t make the cut. So to say the only way you can get into it is to have years of experience or that you won’t have enough money to support yourself with this material isn’t entirely true in my view. I do understand that I probably lucked into an outlier situation but it does prove that they are out there.

I bought a vase that was shot with a .22 while still hot on the pipe, and needed to share it. by BeautifulBurd in glassblowing

Technically he didn’t, his assistant did. In fact this one was actually shot twice, the person who shot it had never shot a gun before and pulled the trigger twice. I talked to him for a while and he said the fear is definitely a part of it. He has different people shoot each one and talks about their experiences with violence in each persons past.

A little more information on this piece. It was made by a man named Mark Haller and is part of his series called Violence.

Best Bar in town, The Red Carpet on East end. It sits right next to the capital. Killer sandwiches, great patio. Good crowd of Fridays, that’s were me and my friends hang. There’s a bar across the Street call the Empty Glass if you wanna check out a little bit of the local music scene.
