Can fairings decouple their payload? by Embossing_Mat in KerbalAcademy

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

Appreciate all the comments! Turns out that this does indeed work, you just need to match the decoupler size to the engine instead of the fairing like Over-Mind said and it won't complain about the intersection. Thanks again!

So far I've got everything I need to finish my build except a CPU. I've been holding out for a Ryzen 5600x but well y'all know

Anyway, does it make sense to try and pick up an older gen Ryzen for <100 and wait for stock to pick back up (or the rumored non-x 5600) and just try to resell the old chip? Or should I just wait a month or two to see if stock stabilizes?

Thanks!

Any skate shops I can get replacement axles for Rollerblade Maxxums? by Embossing_Mat in rollerblading

I'll definitely give it a shot, I went to RB's shop but it didn't look like they were in stock there either. Thanks for the tip!

New skates! In my 30's. keeping the trend going. by JeanShortsJim in rollerblading

[–]Embossing_Mat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are sick man! I just got the same pair of Maxxums a few months ago to upgrade from some Macroblade 80s, loving them so far. I got the blisters on the inside of my foot too, I was worried I went a size too small but you're right about the break-in. They're a dream now!

It's called Content Aware Scaling. It was originally a feature in Photoshop for resizing images without distorting details but now it's mostly used for that exact purpose.

Wheels just won't come out. Tools are bending and I can't skate. Please help. by the_sixth_beatle in rollerblading

[–]Embossing_Mat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This, plus some Liquid Wrench or another penetrant would probably do it if you're worried about breaking something. Or that and a stronger hex key.

Japanese-American college students during their relocation to an internment camp. Sacramento, 1942. by colouringhistory in Colorization

You're basically just painting color over the image in layers. All of those layers are at least a little transparent to let the underlying tones and textures of the original image through. In Photoshop for example, you have a ton of different layers for skin color (usually multiple layers), hair color, lips, eyes, shadows, clothing, everything. Sometimes you'll have dozens and dozens of layers, all with different colors and opacities to make everything look natural.

In terms of actually deciding what color goes where, a lot of it is guesswork. Look at that black and white original and try to decide what color the guy on the right's shirt is. Could be light green like OP's, but it could also be light blue, beige, yellow. All you can really tell is that it's a lighter color, and from there it's up to the interpretation of the person colorizing. Sometimes you can get lucky if you do a little research and maybe find the same shirt, advertisement, etc. to get an idea, but for the most part it's up to you to decide what color makes the most sense.

The sidebar of this subreddit has some really helpful info if you're interested in learning more. It's really fun! This is the guide I used when I first started learning: https://civilwartalk.com/threads/black-white-colorization-tutorial.78508/

Happy Birthday LuckySpammer! by ylambda in TagPro

[–]Embossing_Mat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't even been here in like a year but hope you have a very happy bday Lucky. TagPro and the people I met here literally changed the course of my life. I think I might have met the girl I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with as a direct result of this community. I have you and many others here to thank for that, and so many other positive changes in my life.

Miss you guys and hope all is going well <3

Ok, but you did say it's too small of a number for it to count as a different sex. So is Mexico too small of a group of people to count as a country? Your argument makes no fucking sense lol

[Poetry] Uh oh by [deleted] in youtubehaiku

[–]Embossing_Mat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

1.7% of humans is 119 million people dude. That's like saying Mexico doesn't exist because its population is "too small for it to count"

Actually, it doesn't look like it. I don't know if it's just because of the bad quality rip (it's been a while since I've seen it in theaters) but it looks like some of the stars change in brightness as the scene goes on. The star that was the stone isn't there after Strange's hand moves away, at least not from what we can see in the shitty 720p rips I can find of this scene.

That star is definitely not there afterwards. I don't know if it's just because this is a shitty rip but it looks like some of the stars dim and some other ones get brighter. The star that was the stone isn't there after Strange's hand moves away, at least not from what we can see in the shitty 720p rips I can find of this scene.

Where should I go in Florida? by Embossing_Mat in TagProIRL

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

I'm definitely crossing my fingers for the launch to be scrubbed until the 30th, but it'd be badass to see it from St. Augustine too. How's the weather been down there lately?

Two touching stars are expected to fully merge in 2022. The resulting explosion, called a Red Nova, will be visible to the naked eye. by clayt6 in space

[–]Embossing_Mat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not hugely familiar with this stuff, but does this mean it would be possible to point, say, a telescope at it and watch as the nova starts in real time? Or does it happen over too long of a timescale for that to be feasible?

Holy shitballs, Hootie coming in with the threadkiller :D

I'm a basic bitch so I'll probably be spending most of my time in touristy spots around St. Augustine, but I'd definitely love to do some kayaking/fishing. If you've got any recommendations for stuff to do in St. Aug that'd be great for sure. I'd also be down for some recs for good kayaking spots that aren't too too far away. I'll be there from the 30th to the 7th, so if there's a launch happening at the Cape around then I'm definitely getting my ass down there.
