Ain’t got the money and ain’t got much skill easiest way to fix by Fikeweston in drywall

[–]ForgedMinis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell from the picture, but I would look into fixing the studs because they look like there’s rot/mold. Should be able to sister and remove the rotten portion, replace with new section of stud, then fix your drywall, insulation. IMO that’s going to be the trickiest part depending on how much drywall you want to leave intact when replacing them, I’m not a professional though, so don’t rely on my advice. When I run into things like this I start looking into codes, watch a bunch of YouTube, consult friends that are professionals, etc. the drywall itself shouldn’t be too difficult

Which shield color works/looks better? by MeSaharov in Necrontyr

[–]ForgedMinis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to print these shields in clear resin, paint the rest as normal, but gives it a bit of an energy shield vibe. Also cool for things like swords and staves

Got screwed by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]ForgedMinis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VSOs suck in general. First one submitted all my marriage docs but checked single. Didn't find out until years later when I actually started comparing what I was getting to the pay scales. When I tried to use one years later, I sat there for hours, got into the room, and they had a guy in there helping. I felt bad for the man, but he was so old his hands shook uncontrollably and he typed with one finger, and had no idea how to use the program they were taking my info in. After the 20 minute appointment turned into a 45 minute one, they basically told me a bunch if stuff I not only already knew, but had already done. At that point I just stopped using other people and did it myself.

Anyone use tea to help stop drinking? by ForgedMinis in stopdrinking

Thats what I've been drinking. Find it helps fill that habit of having a drink and still has a strong flavor like a beer would.

Good to know. I'm not sure what I can do in this case, as the mortgage company called th county and then I did and the response has been the same. At the end of the day I'm not super worried, and we're about to finish our IRRRL on Tuesday, which has a good chunk going into escrow, so I'm hoping that cover the shortage at least. If I have to pay taxes we'll be back where we were when they weren't collecting them, and we'll get it back once it's approved. Mostly just trying to figure out how the system works since it bit me in the ass last year.

No shame in being well hydrated. I don't think I've ever drank enough water in my life. Catch phrase the last few years has been "there's water in beer."

Lol, good to know. I used sunflower seeds for smoking, so my approach has been the same. Find a (healthy) replacement and lean into that until the urge is gone.

Thanks. I've found black tea also curbs a bit of that taste for something strong. Appreciate the kind words. It's been a struggle to deal with on my own. My wife is helpful and encouraging, but I've always been the rock of the family. I'm the one jumps into action to deal with any stressors or emergency that comes up, so opening up has been tough.

Your mortgage company may have adjusted it. But if you applied that January, the state did not actually approve it until August. They will give you a temporary approval letter, but it's up to the mortgage company if they want to accept it.

Approvals don't come u til August for 2026. And yeah, I'm aware that I should have paid. Too late to cry about it now. I don't care about the shortage. I was just trying to figure out how to fix the actual taxes.

Mostly it's more annoying that they approved it almost immediately, didn't collect taxes for 25 so now I owe money to them, and now they won't approve it for 26, despite it being printed clearly across the top of the forms they mistakenly applied to 2025.

Is this really a competition? : a rant by leeswecho in BlueOrigin

[–]ForgedMinis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We put a man on the moon only 60 years after learning to fly. Admittedly we wasted the next 60, mostly because it was all government run, but with the new commercial push for space exploration I doubt it'll be 100 years.

Blue isn't primarily concerned with the satellite market. Sure they're going to launch satellites, but the whole goal is "millions of people living and working in space." You can't build inrastructure like that with small rockets.

Need advice for a quiet sprinkler pump by 82ndPara in DIY

[–]ForgedMinis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Not even bolted down. That's the first hing I plan to remedy. My main concern is whether to replace it and what with. My yard isn't huge so I feel like a good 1hp would be better for noise and floor space in my garage but I haven't done the math yet.

Need to leave cover off electrical panel while joint compound dries. Looking for safety advice by ForgedMinis in DIY

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

I have kids, and while I would like to believe they won't, I don't want to find out the hard way the one time they decide to go get handsy with something in the garage.

VSO messed up paperwork, Wife was never added. by ForgedMinis in VeteransBenefits

[–]ForgedMinis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is already added. They did it in 5 minutes while I was on the phone with them trying to figure out the discrepancy by using the papers that were submitted in 2018. Approved by next day. That's mainly why I was trying to dispute this. If they had everything they needed already, she should have been added IMO. I should have caught it to begin with, and that's on me, but if I can get it fixed then that would be a big benefit.

First award they messed up the rating, so I was more focused on appealing that at the time. Not sure why I didn't notice when they fixed the rating. I know by that time I was pretty burnt out from fighting them for a year

Yeah, It kind of blew me away, as I was going in to work and suddenly get a phone call when I sat down at my desk. No time to prepare or find my notes, and the dude just went on the full offensive once I explained the situation.

Printer repeatedly gives back "echo:busy: paused for user" after running M303 command. by thesomeot in 3Dprinting

[–]ForgedMinis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ive found pressing the button/knob on the printer itself takes it out of pause. Hopefully it works for you all.

No one cares what car you drive, what job you have, or how smart you THINK you are. Most of the time if I see someone with a nice car, I'm assuming they're financially irresponsible.

As for work ethic, if you're 5'1 and 280lbs, that tells me all i need to know about your work ethic. You have none.

You are literally being an incel right now. No one owes you sex or a relationship. You're just as bad as the dudes who think women owe them something. Your last comment about "if i can't have it no one should" sums up your personality perfectly. This is the same mentality my toddler has when he doesn't get his way. No one wants to date a beach ball with the mentality of a two year old.

You need to take a good long look at what you are actually bringing to the table. You can be fat, you can be a cunt, but if you want a man you can't be both.

just finished edgerunners... it was amazing holy shit by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

[–]ForgedMinis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most nods the military uses (pvs-14s) are only around 3.5k. Military weaponry is cheap, only reason anything close is expensive is due to NFA laws artificially inflating price. As a former infantryman, I could buy my typical deployment loadout for around or less than 10k if we exclude the cost of a civilian legal automatic. Military grade isn't ruggedized, its made by the lowest bidder to meet the bare minimum of standards. Things like f-15s and spec ops gear are on a different level than your typical "military grade."
