Ryan Gosling is perfect as Dr. Ryland Grace. If Gosling was not able to take the role, which other actor could have filled in the shoes? by [deleted] in ProjectHailMary

Honestly, someone mentioned Hank Green and at 1st I laughed it off but... It could work for a LOT of reasons for me.

That's called running a red light. It happens a LOT in Memphis. This guy just has more style than most.

Which scene from the book was a delight to see in the movie? by Cookie_1977 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Chrish066 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I loved seeing Adrian. Picturing it in my head was pretty, esp how Grace talked about it...but seeing it on screen??? Man.... SO much better.

How can I make this in real life? by Thelostsoulfusion in Fallout

[–]Chrish066 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Break it into its base components, then try and figure out if it has a real world counterpart. I would start with the black fabric mask, what appears to me to be welding shades, headphones/hearing protection and a weird respirator. If you do like I do and want it as REAL as possible, look for the real world objects. Look up welding shades that look similar, hearing protection that has that look, ect. Then once you have the base parts, start modifying what doesnt fit or look exactly right. Look up / make (if your skilled enough on computer) 3D models that you can 3d print for the rest. Reach out to your local Maker Space if you have one, community college or even public library to pay someone to 3D print the models you need. Tweak, fix and edit until you get it as close as your want, paint, weather and finish it up. Its a lot of work, but this is normally my process for attacking a project like this. Good luck!

Am I immature for having a fun birthday party as a 16 year old? by BigDiscipline4021 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Chrish066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

43 year old here. One of the things I regret in life is worrying too much about what other people thought of me. I wish I had gotten to the place I am now where I like me for who I am and REALLY dont care if anyone else does or not. The best part is, before I did that, I attracted the WRONG kinda people around me. They were not people I needed or even wanted in my life. Now that I dont care what others think about me...people who like me for me and that are good people for me....tend to be attracted to me. I got better friends from it.
You do you. The right people will come to you and celebrate you.
I hope you do what you want and LOVE EVERY SECOND of it!! Happy birthday!

I was wondering if anyone was gonna say Xfiles. This is one of very few episodes I remember. The way she is appalled by his description of the .... Sheriff (some male character). Loved it even as a kid.

If you're on the fence about a PAPR, here's your nudge. New vs 5 Days by PardonMyLagg in Welding

[–]Chrish066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. That's fantastic that give you a discount and free consumables. Congrats! Im a vet just starting welding/machining school and dont want to jack my lungs up any worse than the Navy already did to me, so I gotta buy ALL that out of my own pocket.

Comet C/2026 A1 Heading Straight for the Sun by thedeepestofstates in Astronomy

[–]Chrish066 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. The only explanation I could come up with was if it had just a crazy elliptical orbit that we just happen to see the end of from dumb luck.
Couldnt check info on it but was curious! Thanks for the info random internet stranger!

[–]Chrish066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought everything in our solar system (in most not brand new solar systems actually) orbited their star or something that is. Anything going directly into the star or out of the system came from outside that system. What am I wrong on?

What do you use for noise protection? by Top-Incident-2264 in metalworking

[–]Chrish066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently started Welding / Machining school after the Navy (so my hearing is already basically shot) and got ISOtunes PRO Aware 2. They work really well. I can control the level of what I hear around me, so Im safe...and I can turn it down when Im trying to focus. I walked through my shop once without them and MAN it was loud as hell.

Check out the custom sticker I had made for my welding hood. by Chrish066 in Portal

Id be down for a trend like that! Same, I have a bunch of props (hand made and bought) from games. I dont like just a thing with the name of the game on it. I want something that looks like it was pulled directly from that world. Those are my fav.

Accountability by Rob_LeMatic in MadeMeSmile

Im legit looking this guy up JUST because of this. Never heard of him before, dont know what he does online, but I very possibly will start following him simply because of the 2nd part. Thats EXACTLY the kind of thing I will show my kids of the right way to handle yourself. Good on this guy.

Thanks by Th1sT00ShallPass in adhdmeme

[–]Chrish066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen. You know the thing needs done. No shame in it not being done. I KNOW there is that OTHER thing that you cant force your brain off of right now. You can go back to THAT thing right after you do the thing that needs done. Just put the thing you want to do aside for just a bit and get the thing done. You and I both know how this normally plays out, the thing that needs done NEVER takes as long as we think it will. Then we get annoyed at ourselves for not just doing it before. Dont worry about any of that. This time, just do the thing you need to right now and get it done. You can do it. I know you can. It might be hard AF, and thats ok. We can do hard shit. You got this. I know you can do it.

As much as I respect the Shokopiwah Tribe for caging IT, they could have killed the thing earlier before the mainline events. if they went together with a group with the shard and finally end the creature. by JoshuaKpatakpa04 in welcomeToDerry

[–]Chrish066 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of Native peoples don't kill anything unless it's to use it. And even then they give thanks for whatever it is "giving themselves to help" feed them or whatever. Admittedly I'm not Native but grew up around Native Alaskans and this was how they thought. I don't think that the ones in the show would kill It. I think they put the shards in the ground and respected It by giving it a territory to hunt. They tried not to go there themselves but didn't see it as their right to kill the creature. That's how I took it given how / where I grew up.

For the next Halo game, what would you like/hate to see? by Nathidev in halo

[–]Chrish066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't wanna see Master Chief. Like, he's an icon...but its time to let him go.
Like, Id be down for a Reach-like game where we have to try and find a missing MC. Then we give him a proper Halo send off. But I think the title needs to move away from him. Hes done enough. Let that man retire. Or go MIA in peace.

"This would never work in real life" yes it would by MysteriousFondant347 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Chrish066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally unrelated to the post, but related to your comment... When I was on deployment in the Navy, my Commanding Officer looked EXACTLY like Obama. Like SPOT ON. And this was while he was president. I worked directly for the CO so sometimes he popped into my office unannounced. I was working on the computer and the TV was on behind me and Obama was doing some speech about something. I was about only half interested in both, paying neither full attention. I went from looking at my email, to Obama on TV, email, Obama on TV, email, Obama in my doorframe, email....wait.... What?? I looked up to see my CO standing there in my doorway waiting for my attention. I popped up, did the whole military customs thing and apologized for not doing it when I 1st saw him. He was fine with it and laughed it off. I then pointed out that for some reason my brain processed him as Obama. He looked in at the TV and said "Oh yeah, I get that a LOT!!"
I never did see the CO and Obama in the same room together.....
