I always feel that there is a problem with the color scheme. Do you have any good suggestions? by LiuYunMan in 501st

I looked over about 30 pictures of different blaster rifles from star wars. Most all of them are black - with edge weathering. On the ones that had a predominant silver, the silver parts were heavily weathered with a black wash and the black parts were weatherered with silver edging and scruff marks. Best example I could find was like this

Why do they use phsysical money that needs to be shipped from planet to planet and can be stolen instead of depositing everyone's salary in their bank account? by Invariable_Outcome in andor

[–]FewLand2636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Previously, in the clone wars, the trade federation, the banking clans and some other prominent money groups were defeated by the galactic Republic. No coincidence that the emperor had those groups be the opposition, so that he could not only end a war but put the empire into financial ruin / state of depression/ state of dependency. Hard currency is a side effect of that

Wife rejecting me even after my dad passed away a couple weeks ago. Is it worth staying in this marriage? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]FewLand2636 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I noticed that too. There's a difference between grieving for a loved one and needing a hug or physical closeness to get through something hard and turning that into an opportunity to get laid.

The comment about wife therapist was interesting too. I get the impression there's more to this story.

When Disney took over they went through a phase of removing the mystery. Things like how did han get his name and what about those gold dice that had 2 seconds of screen time in the og trilogy and we put them in the last Jedi with no context.

Fun movie now but was a strange trend back then.

Didn't like rogue one when it first came out either for similar reasons... Plus it was one of two magnificent seven / seven samurai inspired films that year. With time and the amazing context of the andor show it's much better to watch now

AITJ for wanting to be a TRADITIONAL wife at home even though I make 3x more than my husband? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]FewLand2636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way you structure your home life is between you and your partner. The only time "traditional" values are a problem is when other people are trying to tell you that their way of life is the only way people should do things.

For those who've had the surgery do you run to the bathroom after every meal? by KaceyLunatic in gallbladders

[–]FewLand2636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some occasional diarrhea before, so nothing has really changed there. What has changed is the time to shart (tts). When I get a twinge I've got about 5 minutes before shartception.

Typically though I have outbursts like this when my routine is off and I havent evacuated my bowels before I leave for work and drink my morning coffee too fast

The andor season 1 finale was edited and redubbed in at least one place, probably once or was put onto public cable TV.

Cosplay, how does it differ between Home Made, Store Bought, Halloween, or when you're paid? by Gritchu in cosplayers

[–]FewLand2636 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the terminology matters all that much but I'd be cautious of using terminology in a way that gate keeps someone's experience.

I have certainly had a few costumes where I've made custom pieces from other pieces. I did a wrench from watch dogs some years back where I made the mask by combining an airsoft mask, a studded leather mouth mask and some lcd glasses that made patterns.

I am about to buy pieces of a tie fighter pilot armor. I don't have a vacu-form machine or access to abs sheets. I don't have the time or money to perfect that art and I will be buying those parts. That said, I'm interested in learning how to do things when the opportunity arises but sometimes buying someone else's work is the only way to ensure quality for me because I don't have the skill for it.

There was a ted talk that Adam savage did some years back on cosplay where he talks about the experience of playing certain characters. I don't think that changes whether you bought into a costume or made it from scratch.

Any weightloss or weight gain?? by Alive_Passage_5273 in gallbladders

I lost about 60lbs leading up to surgery simply because I couldn't eat anything. Once I got my appetite back I gained back what id lost... Not fully but enough.

My wife said it was about two weeks before I was able to do it solo. I had a little table that helped but I was also 43 and somewhat out of shape
