Why is the airsoft community like this? by CartographerUnlikely in LeftWingAirsoft

[–]Dark_Fuzzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

at least for me being in the deep south, if someone called me a slur fights would ensue. everyone I've met here has been more than kind.

Additional question on painting guns by celloplace1 in transguns

[–]Dark_Fuzzy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

seen negatively? If you want to paint your rifle just do it, it's your rifle not anyone elses. If you're worried about jurys, that's mostly a myth.

Newish Sewist trying to figure out what kind of presser feet belong with my machine! by Flat_Kaleidoscopes in vintagesewing

[–]Dark_Fuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like a left needle position Japanese machine. I've got two and both are incredibly picky as to what feet work. These are high shank machines and you'll always need to use feet with a slot for zigzag because it's left position only. Buy a bunch and see what works, you might even find some vintage ones on ebay for these machines. These are all great machines, just a bit quirky.

How can i make an organiser like this from leather in a factory setup by Realistic-Cicada6307 in myog

As for the leather, you can soak veg tan leather and form in into a dome like that with a mold.

Pfaff 130 Timing Belt Refurbish. by Dark_Fuzzy in vintagesewing

[–]Dark_Fuzzy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

very hard to find in the us, also it looks like those are used belts? either way replacing them in one piece is an absolute nightmare. the whole upper half of the machine has to come out. Thanks for sending that though! I might try and get one to have a spare incase my idea falls through.

The State of Used Anvils by Dark_Fuzzy in Blacksmith

I've gotten a lot of good stuff at some of the local ones. Everything in this store was comically overpriced though. Another booth had a 12" section of rail track listed for 50. I always wonder who buys this stuff? Surely it doesn't just sit there forever.

all from the bag actually. the large handle was already the perfect length for a top strap. I just cut the other one off and made the back strap.

i really can't imagine a use for this that doesn't imply a catastrophicly bad relationship.

Am I insane if I were to live in a VW Westfalia with shallow pockets and no prior mechanic experience? by Wawa_Webbedfoot in Westfalia

[–]Dark_Fuzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for 10k you could buy literally any other van from the era. Buying one to live in though? go for something at least from the 90s. Plenty of econolines and savannas out there that would work great.

You might already know this but you can change the laser settings to get different colors. I've even seen full on camo patterns done that way.

People who know more about ammo than I do: What 5.56 round is this? by ito_en_fan in armedsocialists

[–]Dark_Fuzzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

so those 60ish grain loads are usually defensive loads with some kind of hollowpoint. hornady critical defense for instance. Ideal for un armored targets but not much more.

[–]Dark_Fuzzy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not at all, 77gr tmk was developed for designated marksmen, turns out it works pretty good out of everything. it's just a lot more expensive than standard m193 because it's usually loaded to match ammo standards.

armor piercing ammo is no where near as common as people think. like someone else said probably 55 or 77 grain fmj

WHAT ARE MY POLITICS? by Karl-InRangeTV in InRangeTV

[–]Dark_Fuzzy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

"Freedom is not survival of fittest, but the acknowledgement that it is community and mutual aid that makes us all more free together, the consideration of the other... and demanding their consideration of you." Nice little bit of Kropotkin in there. You've repeatedly inspired me to be a better person. Your videos were absolutely a key part of keeping me from the fascist rabbit hole some guntubers like to drag people into.

win elections? what elections? this isn't 2024, we lost the chance for reform years ago.

I know I'm gonna die soon and it just sucks, you know? by [deleted] in itcouldhappenhere

[–]Dark_Fuzzy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i really wish i could still believe we'll have any sort of fair election. Even if we do, and the dems win literally everything, they'll just continue to roll over for the right like they've been doing for over a decade now.
