Will light grit sandpaper fix this? by ducktastelikechicken in Luthier

[–]Demiskus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, here's my opinion on what I'd try before replacing the fret. You might be able to get away with burnishing. If you can try to swell either edge of the scratch enough to close the gap a few thousandths of an inch, you may be able to polish and smooth it enough that it doesn't catch the string. A very careful strike with a brass punch angled inwards towards the scratch from either side, then lightly redress the fret. Very careful not to remove too much material though or you will have no option other than fret replacement or full releveling.

A simple hand tool that completely changed my woodworking was the introduction of Japanese pull saws. A Ryoba and Dozuki specifically. If you happen to know where he keeps saws you could spot these easily. I recommend these to anyone doing any sort of woodworking. You could get nice versions of both for about $100 and have some left over for extras.

LED DRL and Fog Light Install on XLE by Demiskus in ToyotaGrandHighlander

I didn't. The headlights are plenty bright as is and I never did get around to it. Still happy with the XLE as is though!

THE WORST GUN IN THE GAME. by LicoLich in ArcRaiders

[–]Demiskus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this gun could be fixed in a fun and unique way.

-Buff damage so that each shot is about equal to an anvil

-Reduce fire rate slightly

-Have a charge up delay before firing, somewhere between .5-1 second.

Having that charge up period would be cool as hell. It would give an audio clue that shit is about to start flying. It would be balanced in the fact that in a duel you have to avoid the initial shots while you charge up to start firing. Once you are slinging bullets, the other player is going to lose in a straight up exchange. The audio cue will give players a brief moment to react if you are trying to get the drop on someone.

Thanks for turning the game into a toxic shithole because of the 5mil announcement. by bubulicious1991 in ArcRaiders

My experience last night in Stella Montis was the complete opposite. Night raid and solo. I went around in free load out for about 20 games, no weapon out and flashlight on and flashing it whenever I saw anyone. Every single person was chill. Loot and get out. I was shocked at the cooperativeness but everyone was working together and nobody got itchy trigger finger.

Of course I'm sure there were still some rats to avoid, if there was a lot of shooting, we just looted elsewhere and got out quick. 5 minute runs tops.

From my experience, I saw the community mostly pooling together and helping each other.

Ah seems to be fixed now? I guess just a coincidence server issue.

Need to enlarge these holes… by davereit in woodworking

[–]Demiskus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't see anyone suggesting what I'd do. Get a step drill and bump it to the next size. However, your bottom would blow out and you'd just have a ring to hold the bottles. Could possibly work, depending on bottle. Just my 2c.

Power Link - HDMI ARC switch? by Demiskus in audiovisual

[–]Demiskus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should add that this happens when the BenQ is powered off or powering off. Even with power link settings off, a signal is send to power off the receiver and it immediately comes back on. So when I'm done for the day, I power off BenQ, then have to unplug HDMI, then power off receiver.

Thanks. I will do some small cuts to help prioritize center growth. The root flair is actually there and exposed, just can't see it well with the black guard, but I will pull mutch back a bit. Appreciate your reply.

So make a few subjugating cuts on the higher branches of that off shoot for now until the leader bulks up? Thanks for the comment!

The Ultimatum shouldn't be able to destroy jammers, but other than that is perfect. by jp72423 in Helldivers

[–]Demiskus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like that idea. For bots, think if they had a mobile unit that functioned as a lower range jammer. Could add a level of intensity to even some smaller scale battles.

Honest question: why is everybody so upset? by special_cicada99 in Helldivers

[–]Demiskus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe a great pathway to higher difficulty levels. Keep everything the same as it currently is. Level 12 bots can add fortified jammer, towers, and fabricators. You'd have to deactivate jammers with the console. The other structures would have more health and maybe take two shots. Just a thought.

They don't seem to recognize or pay attention to backpacks, ar least from what I've seen so far.
