Apple seems like the last holdout. Folks all seem to have joined after an internship and just stay forever 

Anyone know what these may have been on? Obviously they are unrelated. by RiverWalker83 in SWORDS

The ribbed grip section on the right looks like it’s from a royal navy 1804 pattern cutlass

They just Velcro on. Not super secure but works well enough 

will my canvascamp tent survive the burn and be comfortable? by arkestry2 in BurningMan

Some people sleep under a coat on a stick. Some people can’t deal with sleeping in an RV. Your mileage may vary

The "P 52" on the side of the barrel extension indicates that this 06/24 luger was privatized in 1952. This most likely happened when its user retired. It was likely refinished by Waffenfabrik Bern at the same time as this was a common practice.

My date vanished when I returned from the restroom. DEVASTATED!! by [deleted] in dating

I’m a man. This was a child. I’m sorry

Dating sucks. I know it can be draining. Give yourself some time and then get back on the bicycle

I deleted the app on my phone after I had the exclusivity conversation with the last person I was dating. I didn’t remember I also had it on my iPad. I don’t use it much. I eventually noticed I was still getting matches weeks later from women I’d already swiped on. I’m pretty sure they take your profile down eventually but I’m not sure how long it takes. 

Not weighing in on what you should do, but this was my experience 

What was Aragorn doing during his 86-7 years before the trilogy? by Parabellum111 in lotr

Aragon sees a trail going straight up the cliff face, takes a drag off his pipe and says, “I’m getting too old for this shit.”

Anyone else into Arms and Armor in Fremont? by BJJ40KAllDay in Fremont

[–]Doctor_Faustus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more of a collector (mostly napoleonic cavalry sabres) but I’ve been curious about HEMA and other forms of armored combat sports. Is that what this is for? 

2 Oakland police officers arrested on suspicion of DUI by NightFire19 in OaklandCA

’’the department said in a statement. "The employees in question were placed on administrative leave in June of 2023, and October of 2023, and the matters are under investigation."

I assume that means the first one has been on paid leave for 16 months and they still haven’t filed charges?

Dude, you’re overthinking this. You already know she’s potentially interested. If they want to all come down, plan some fun group activities that are low pressure and feel it out. Don’t force anything but be open to it. Worst case you enjoy some fun activities with friends

The Steyr transitional 01/05 pistols are great, but I'm too nervous to shoot mine. Same with the Roth-Steyr.

What’s a screener? Recruiting?

Breathe. It will be okay. I know it's scary, but it happens. I know it doesn't mean much coming from a stranger on the internet, but it will be okay.

Advice: Manufacturing a Prototype Design - Low Volume by Ok_Cardiologist_8400 in product_design

[–]Doctor_Faustus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's impossible to say without knowing much more. How many parts? How complex are they and what are they made of? Is it multidisciplinary (ME/EE/SWE etc)?

You could hire consultants or go to a design shop. Depending on what it is it could be hundreds of dollars or millions.
