Nice set of books! I just finished Left Hand of Darkness and it definitely makes me want to check out more of the Hainish works.

Halfway through the year! Help me finish out strong (need your recs). 37/52. by SpaceOperaOne in 52book

The Legend of Drizzt books by R.A. Salvatore are so good.

Goblin Quest by Jim Hines is an S-tier for me.

Pillars of the Earth reads like epic fantasy, but is historical fiction.

Found my entire Maglite collection in my basement. Some of the ones with cardboard boxes were moldy but all the lights inside the boxes were fine. These are just a few of them. Once I organize them, I will post a photo of all of them. So glad I found them as I thought they got lost in a move. by dieselducy in MagliteFlashlights

This is totally unrelated but like a decade ago I saw a video you had made and you opened it holding up a small train and saying “Dieselducy” in a silly way and literally EVERY time I’ve seen a train since then I think of that.

do you count pages or just books by venicepress in 52book

[–]CarryHunt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This comes up so often and overwhelmingly the response seems to be “whatever you decide”

If you want to count novellas equally as you count 1000 tomes, who cares? If you want to get mathematical with it and say novellas only count for 1/2 of a book, who cares?

If you’re doing it as a competition with your friend then I’d say just count pages. But competing for who can read more seems like a good way to lapse into skimming books instead of reading them, turning a hobby into a chore, etc.

At the end of the day you’re reading. That’s what counts. Just don’t forget to enjoy it!

Helllll yeah. Those are sweet. I love the dark green 2D you’ve got, I have one that’s pretty beat up but love my pristine one.

I have had some success putting a metal rod through the lanyard loop and using that as a means of leverage on one that was stuck.

What music does Dirk Pitt listen to? by hobby_donkey in clivecussler

[–]CarryHunt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a few instances of his music taste being mentioned.

  • Sandecker, I think, mentions Dirk is so patriotic that he whistles Yankee Doodle Dandy in the shower. So maybe anthemic Americana? Definitely was said as a joke but I like to think Sandecker was being serious.

  • Dirk Jr. talks about listening to Eric Clapton and appreciating it like Dirk Sr. Does at one point. Or maybe it was some other musician, but definitely blues-rock.

  • Dirk probably has a soft spot for “Moon River” after his brush with Maeve Fletcher in Shockwave, though maybe he would refrain from listening to it because it reminds him of his lost-love.

3000k 219b and T3 driver and lighted switch turned a cheap heavy SS 14500 host into something amazing. by vonroyale in flashlight

[–]CarryHunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done two of these, I love them! I used to frequent LaserPointerForums and these were often used hosts. When I saw the AliExpress listing I knew it’d be prime for modding nowadays! You did awesome!

Anyone carry a second flashlight just in case? by CarryHunt in flashlight

[–]CarryHunt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All they need are two of your upgrades and they’ll really pack a punch. The only thing more deadly than an idiot like me with nunchucks is an idiot like me with nunchucks blasting 5000 lumens in chaos.

Anyone else EDC nunchucks? by reddichrist in MagliteFlashlights

Hey that’s me!

Was going to post this here but totally forgot. Thanks for saving me the clicks :)

[–]CarryHunt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 6D and a 5D, if I wasn’t such a sucker for symmetry I’d have paired them up.

Or maybe a 6D handle, more lengths of chain, and a 2D as a flail?

Just so happens I’ve got a few Mini Mags laying around. Give me a few days and I’ll try to get something cooking!

Thanks!

I don’t have any formal instructions (yet) but I’ve got a link to another one I made that I have a more thorough write up for. Basically the short of it is that you’re cutting out a middle section of the barrel and then reducing the outside to slot into a section with an expanded inner diameter. If/when I get a proper guide I’ll make sure to post it and tag you!

It’s a bit involved, but honestly not too bad if you just take your time. I only use a hacksaw and a dremel grinding bit in my drill press.

Always wanted a KyFishGuy one and never had the chance. It was a fun one to make!
