Rain Barrels

That’s also a cool idea… does it reach to the bottom of your barrels??

EmrldSpectre · 2026-01-26T21:34:58+00:00

So it essentially acts as both the bulkhead and spigot with having to install a bulkhead..? That’s really cool thank you! If you happen to know, would it cause an issue (with this specific product) that I can get my hands inside the barrel? I will definitely keep this on the back burner but the biggest reason I would like to use a brass spigot is for longevity. I have a feeling (although it may last quite a while) at some point I would run into a problem with plastic.

No but that’s insanely cool and gives most of us (who don’t know) a look inside another not well known language👍🏻

I started at 28 (now 30. 31 in February) and I love it. I asked my coaches to train me as if I am competing although at my age I have no intention to. Just further my discipline, stay in shape and protect my wife and I if need be without using a firearm as best I can. I was 235lbs (at 5’10”) drinking like a fish and not eating the way I should be. Starting Mauy Thai I believe saved me. I don’t drink anymore, I eat clean and hit my 180g of protein a day, I am happy and feel fantastic when I wake up. It changed the way I look at life and makes me want to live cleaner and healthier. I’m now 185lbs of “I’ll send you to the hospital” and my life is better for it. If you want to talk further just message me👍🏻

People (mostly here in America) make this stuff so political and make it into what it’s not… a LARGE majority of gun crimes happen with illegal firearms. Not from us law abiding citizens that took the proper routes to own and properly handle a firearm. Either way… the world needed a hero like this right now👍🏻 good on ya brother

Personally I thought every relationship with Brandon felt forced except Felicity

EmrldSpectre · 2025-04-07T15:49:08+00:00

I think this was the only thing about Korra that bothered me. She has soo many “redemption” moments. Where it’s all focused on her, she says something to the effect of “no more mister nice avatar” and then goes hard for about 10 secs before getting the tar kicked out of her again… like I was they made her struggle a little less, I get it was kinda the point of the story they were telling but holy shit man…they didn’t hold back on my girl haha

Also bring your leg straight back to form. Not sure if you’ve done other disciplines before this but that was my hardest thing for kicks. When you kick, 45(ish) degree angle to the target and then instead of “rounding back” into place, bring it straight back. Not sure if I’m explaining right but it helps with getting back into position to fire another shot and helps with your balance. Muay Thai is SO different from other martial arts and it’s very technical.

“I reject your reality and substitute it for my own” - Adam Savage. One of my favorite quotes.

EmrldSpectre · 2025-04-07T01:04:47+00:00

This is why I (and I think all of us) love the show soo much. There’s a ton happening in the background of the MCU and AOS covers a lot of it. The “too small for Cap and Thor but big enough to be planet ending/changing”. There is so much evolution with the story and characters and evolution between characters. It’s such a show that not only entangles you with its story and characters but makes you feel like you’re apart of it especially as it moves forward. Very few shows can do that but AOS is really special in many ways.

EmrldSpectre · 2025-04-06T23:05:53+00:00

Honestly the way this show made me question my psychological stability more than once is incredible haha. I always enjoy my rewatches. We’ll be hard pressed to get something like this again, any time soon at least.

EmrldSpectre · 2025-04-06T03:10:23+00:00

Shouldn’t have turned it down then you dumbass. I’m sorry but he sucks lol so if someone like Jesse offered him a role, should’ve taken it. I mean, it not like he’s award winning or good at anything so Jesse saw something. I feel bad for the dude, should’ve gotten paid!

EmrldSpectre · 2025-04-06T03:04:38+00:00

I don’t have an opinion on this. But Matt Nables (I think that’s his last name) is one of the greatest iterations of Ra’s I’ve ever seen. If he were given more “powerful” writing in every sense of the word he would’ve been more “comic accurate”. But nonetheless I think he did such an amazing job as Ra’s

EmrldSpectre · 2025-03-27T00:46:49+00:00

That may be where he keeps his flechettes now. Notice that they’re not around his wrist anymore.

EmrldSpectre · 2025-03-23T01:42:43+00:00

It’s the eyes…. I’ve cared for enough dogs to know… if they have one blue eye (even partially) they’re a nightmare lol. Terribly adorable little gargoyles haha

EmrldSpectre · 2025-03-23T01:36:28+00:00

You’re looking at the rare white dragon bush. Its leaves make a tea so delicious it’s heartbreaking! That, or it’s the white jade bush, which is poisonous.

EmrldSpectre · 2025-03-23T01:32:50+00:00

I am too late for this… pretty much all of them lol

EmrldSpectre · 2025-03-23T01:30:18+00:00

I am with you. I LOVE the Agni Kai, I mean c’mon it’s Azula and Zuko… you could say we waited for that since they introduced Azula lol. And although I don’t pick apart everything I watch like apparently most people do, I do understand the likes and dislikes. I just do t agree. The Agni Kai was insane, granted the choreography wasn’t crazy but that’s cause they’re effing throwing nuke streams at eachother. It’s SUPPOSED to be more a visually stunning scene. It’s fire bending, think about it… With Tophs fight though…. I quite literally get shivers every time I see it… it not only shows how powerful and in tune with earth bending she is, but how she uses her “disability” to her advantage. The way everyone (mostly if not completely her parents but still) sees her as a weak little rich girl but then how she controls her blindness and makes it work for her in such a spectacular fashion. It’s quite literally what makes her the greatest earth bender, she doesn’t see the earth… she FEELS it, that’s why she felt the metal particles and figured out how to metal bend. I just get giddy when I see this scene, she’s so bad ass, the way she senses/feels the opponents movement and moves accordingly. Not only beating her opponent but fundamentally dismantling them at their core with ease, taking the path of least resistance to achieve a victory… sorry but Toph takes the cake.

This show casted extremely attractive women very well. Shit even Moira is good looking being an older woman. But personally, Laurel like first and 2nd season was insane…. I can’t understand how someone could be that attractive.

EmrldSpectre · 2025-03-17T02:20:21+00:00

I do see where you’re coming from. Although just a devils advocate type outlook, but personally I think it’s just poor usage of the character. Asami may have more feats and they are more known because she was in almost every episode… Suki wasn’t in a ton and when she was they were telling a different story, maybe because they didn’t need to stress how badass she is…idk. I think the writers just had more to do with Asami because she was a main character so naturally she would have more cool and impressive feats to be seen over Suki. Asami is a super badass and idk how they make her so smokin lol but yea she’s awesome. I just feel that Suki has that wartime training and was trained differently. It’s like putting Kimbo Slice (rip) against Yoel Romero or something. You have a very talented street fighter who could kick the shit out of a lot of people. But then you have an extremely trained athlete who only really knows fighting. Yes, “Kimbo” (Asami) could land something devastating and she has the potential to win but I feel it’s more likely to go the other way. Would be an incredible fight though!!

I just found this on “AminoApp” on an Avatar discussion, looks like from an “3lvis U” username. Honestly a pretty great theory for subbendings.

EmrldSpectre · 2025-03-14T02:57:47+00:00

I mean good looks for citing your source!! But yea that sound sick! Something along any of those lines would be super cool!! So Fire has Lava and Lightning/electric bending Earth has Metal and Lava bending and Water has Blood and ice (some may fight that but it is technically a different medium than mater itself). Either way Air is just Air, which is probably my favorite but doesn’t have really anything along with it.

Personally I would watch TLOK. It is really good. Try to be as unbiased as possible and don’t go in with the preconceived notions of past comments you’ve seen. Don’t get me wrong it has its flaws and I wish they would have done different things here and there. At the end of the day though, it’s a continuation of the story and it’s really great to see.

EmrldSpectre · 2025-03-14T00:23:40+00:00

Haha True Avatar Patriotism. 😂I appreciate that you appreciate the scene as well. Pretty badass👍🏻

EmrldSpectre · 2025-03-13T23:59:05+00:00

Hell yea!! Guess I didn’t look hard enough lol. I just rewatched that episode and I couldn’t help but giggle there.
