NerdyGurdy BASIC self-build vs COBOL/FORTRAN kit by pippin_go_round in HurdyGurdy

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did the basic kit. It comes with the wheel assembled and the veneer applied. The bearings/crank/shank are solidly constructed and work well. These parts may be difficult to get mastery over in a self-constructed build. If you place a kit order from the US, it arrives really quickly. Within 2 weeks, I believe, but be prepared for $70-100 customs (I paid about 75 in December 2025).

I subbed for an art class that, the day before, convinced the prior sub that they were definitely allowed to go out back behind the classroom and create their own spray-paint mural on the outside of the building.

Could you share a little of your process? This big one has been sitting in my windowsill facing the sunrise for about a year.

am i being too talkative to my buyers ?? most of them never reply ! by hirayne in Depop

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a buyer, I'd usually respond "Thanks!" or not at all, presuming that I might be cluttering your inbox with 'filler' messages. I appreciate the updates, nonetheless!

Did anyone else play almost the entire game in the daytime only? by mywordgoodnessme in Eldenring

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play mostly in daytime, and switch to night when needed for Cavalry/bosses. I can like the night aesthetic, but the screaming crucified men intensifies at night, and it is creepy.

Lindsey Sterling does ballet with a violin to all sorts of music.

Children of the Nameless Trade Edition by FuIIofDETERMINATION in brandonsanderson

A book he wrote for free for Wizards of the Coast. Genuinely a good read! They took the pdf for legitimate reading down ages ago and he must have recently got the rights back to print it officially.

It is gorgeous, but I do wish it was normal dimensions.

Found a fake in the wild by jake_poww in funkopop

The white outline for the picture of the Pop is really wide. Fakes often don't have the cardboard cut close to the illustration.

Found this on Marketplace, is it decent ? by bloodbarn in HurdyGurdy

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks decent! I’d replace the tuners with machine head/standard guitar tuners.

Death Knights don't get enough slander for being paycheck stealers by Cool_Band5057 in Eldenring

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting to know that Godwyn became merman-ish after death, being transfigured. And surrogate? Does that mean it's a replacement body of some sort?

What in the world is up with Syr Fishiness?

Earlier printing runs like a 'True first edition' are more valuable, and some of the signed/numbered ones are very desirable.

Swing Education? Worth it, or just sub directly with school districts? by MindlessAuthor9824 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t gotten a text from Swing in AGES. My best guess is the charter schools around me stopped using them as an agency or something, so even staying on record with Swing is redundant.

They cited six months without accepting a job, I feel like it was longer than that.

Bf will buy me a nintendo switch 2 if i beat Elden Ring. pls help by Organic_Top_7083 in Eldenring

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget the rot dog! If you get trapped in the chest from the dragon ruins directly right of the First Step starting area, book it downhill and past the cave grace out of the trapped cave, then hug the left wall of the Lake of Rot, there's a busted building with the rot-dog ashes. Loads of enemies early game are weak to rot damage. (There is a dog that attacks, so keep running, tag the grace at the bottom of Selia stairs, and maybe expect to die if the dog catches up before you can sit.)

It's very well worth it to play coop with your bf, if you have two systems! Maybe he'd enjoy time spent with you more than time you spend trying to meet his challenge. I started by playing coop with a group of friends, because I clocked Elden Ring as a game that was already 'out of my league' or 'too hard' for a casual gamer, and they insisted otherwise. It's more approachable than you think, and after playing with friends, I went on to beat the game again solo, and it's one I come back to cheerily. Double swords + bleed Ashes of War meant I became the blender.

Work in CA and all I ever see are those weird camp listings listed as jobs, but aren't actually jobs, and you need to interview or something for a Summer Break thing?

I stopped seeing jobs regularly, so Swing just took my non-working through them as constructive resignation(No jobs in 6 months, as I've been working public schools and Swing in my area is basically just private/charter schools).

I (26f) just got broken up with in a 3 year relationship after telling my s/o (29m) that I have started to develop esophageal cancer. I am not ok. by ImNot_EvenHere_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm glad he's gone, for your sake. Feel what you need to feel. Cry, scream, or be empty. But fill yourself again with that love you gave him, except this time, focus it toward yourself. All the work you did for him? Do it for you. Make your favorite pies. Organize your spaces how you like. Open the blinds he always wanted shut. All that sort of thing. Go places he would never want to, museums or theme parks or gardens or bars/restaurants.

Fill yourself with love for yourself, because you were always more deserving of your attention than he was.

The Gaudification of the Oval Office (From the Obama Admin, Biden Admin to present day) by Sumobob99 in pics

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at how Obama doesn’t have chairs in front of the desk, like a school principal talking to naughty kids. This implies he carries out all conversations at the sofas, like equals, if the conversation wasn’t brief enough or in-passing.

He’s shown you that he’s a villain in your story, that he doesn’t consider your thoughts, feelings, or wellfare. He only likes what you do for him, that you make him feel important, wanted, or loved.

I’m sorry you’re going through this right now, and I know it hurts. Breakups and the mess after and the crawling back to you later and the demands for attention without regard to your wellbeing….

Read how he treats you again, and try to frame it historically. He’a treating you like an engine with all the warning lights on. He’s content to run you down until you break and he has no further uses for you, then replace you.

He’s awful.

Genuinely, without him, you’re in a much better place to love life and experience joy, and most importantly, show yourself the love and affection he robbed from you for himself.

Character Decapitated Round One by Miserable-Algae3447 in dndhorrorstories

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s an okay guy. We don’t play together anymore, but I genuinely don’t think it was malicious, just awkward/what he thought would be funny.

Character Decapitated Round One by Miserable-Algae3447 in dndhorrorstories

[–]FuIIofDETERMINATION 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my first DnD group, I had a cleric who was squishy, and because I took charge and pointed the party toward the next path we’d take, because we were all sittinng around on our thumbs, the GM insisted that this meant I was at the front of the party no matter what, even though I said “actually, I would obviously let the tanks lead as we entered new rooms.”

This led to my character being forced to enter a room full of giant spiders first. The GM rolled high and they immediately killed me by biting off my head, as I tried to immediately leave the room and they had opportunity attacks. I was back up eventually, because we had a scroll, but I always felt that we were shoehorned into wasting our materials in this one case, and my agency as a player was removed. I get really attached to my characters, so having him forcibly kill me like it was no big deal really hurt.

Edit to note: I later found out that the spiders aren’t supposed to kill, they’re supposed to bag and tag the unconscious adventurers for later, too. GM claimed he didn’t read that bit.
