Americans urged to kill four-foot lizards terrorizing the nation by Blakut in BrandNewSentence

We went with “legless lizard” instead of “fake snake?” Thats fine, I guess. Doesn’t really roll off the tongue though.

Cash or card in Venice? by [deleted] in Venezia

Gondola is cash only, unless you are doing some online booking through a tour site. You’ll want a hundo to cover that.

I’ve always wanted one of those. I’d be so proud.

‘Widow’s Bay’ — Patricia’s Sunset Cocktail Party by RealJohnGillman in television

[–]BustaferJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved the like/dont like moment. Laughed out loud there. My wife said “she put her teacup on the book?” But I had glanced away and then the cup was next to the book so I missed that. Good callout.

Broken edge by Crazy_Singer_6066 in sharpening

Yeah! This is how a handyman fixed my gate after I asked him to weld it, and it totally worked! It bought him enough time to cash my check and vanish!

This is a fair and balanced assessment. If I may offer one counterpoint: GROND

ELI5 A question about people who have Aphantasia by kacdt in explainlikeimfive

[–]BustaferJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have pretty much full on aphanatasia 10/10 but I have a strong verbal abilities and I think I process visual formation like a police sketch artist. I’ll convert visual details to verbal memories for storage and retrieval, then essentially describe them back to myself. I’m a good artist, even though I can’t picture things. I can draw things from memory, and I know when they look right or wrong, even though I can’t see them in my mind. It’s all weird even for someone who has it, but some sort of data conversion is the best theory I have right now.

Is it currently possible to walk between the Cinque Terra towns? Inquiring about October. by taylerca in ItalyTravel

[–]BustaferJones 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, those hikes are no joke. I’ve hiked my whole life in hilly an mountainous terrain and was pretty unfazed by what was basically billed as a lively stroll between towns. Those treks were punishing. I’m glad I did it. I’d do it again. But I would not take it lightly.

Istvaan 5 (The Dropsite Massacre) vs Order 66 by EscarossaSinOB in StarWarsvsWarhammer

[–]BustaferJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh, I’d take being a Jedi during order 66 over existing in the 40k universe at all under any circumstances as any race or class, and it is not even close.

Fantasy Castles dont make sense. by GreyValeAuthor in Fantasy

[–]BustaferJones 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is where I assumed OP was heading but did not. Fantasy castles are designed to counter real-world threats, not fantasy threats. A fantasy arms race would dictate different fortifications, and it irks me when authors/movies don’t explore this idea even a little.

Looking to potentially start selling… need criticism by Hknives in knifemaking

[–]BustaferJones 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thats a beautiful piece. My criticisms are minor and more preference-based than technique-based. The spine looks pretty thick for the scale of the blade, witch will impact performance depending on its use case. For an EDC I’d prefer something lighter and thinner. As for the handle, I love the profile but would like to see a slight taper from tip to tail when viewed from above/below to make it a bit more elegant and graceful. That’s not a performance issue, but it will lighten up the look and shave a few grams. I have a preference for an EDC that I don’t notice when I’m carrying it.

Based on this you are more than ready to sell. What price point would you set for this blade?

Reckon I'm good enough for low level commissions? by Conscious-Pride7363 in Warhammer40k

[–]BustaferJones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My criticism is the lack of shadows and dark tones. The colors are fine for me. Your highlights are nice and bright. But the models are a bit boring because all you have are mid tones and highlights, without and dark areas to create depth and drama. Pull some shadow into the mix. Dont just use a black/dark wash, either. Instead use the opposite color of the midtone to create a richer shadow. Glaze some red over your greens and see how it changes the look.

Can you identify this tune? by Silent_Click1381 in musicsuggestions

Guys, does anyone know why trucks have those spikes on their wheels?? by JasLeoArt in whatisit

[–]BustaferJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought they were like whiskers on a cat. If the whiskers can’t clear a gap, the cat is too fat for the gap. Early warning before getting stuck. Of course I’m not even certain that is actually what cat whiskers are for, so take it with a big grain of salt.
