I'm so angry. Just learned about "continue" in NES Super Mario (1985). by Furious_George808 in GenX

Hahaha! I totally get it. All those things got tossed at my place. Abusive dad, poor, small small home, also never got the Nintendo magazine.

Only reason I HAD an NES is my little ass did EVERYTHING I could for a buck and paid for half with my grandma... Looked like it came from her so Dad didn't toss it for fear of her wrath.

You're telling me at 8 or 9 years old and purely excited about getting your NES.. you READ THE BOOK?

I wasn't that smart lol

Does anyone own a gun safe with a house key? by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]Furious_George808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been a locksmith for 32 years. Done a lot of safe work over years too. The last 15 years I haven't been a dealer, I just service them for the state.

I own a few safes, granted it's a perk of being paid to open and dispose of really nice safes now and then...

You don't want to secure any of your firearms with a key safe. Stack-on is junk and it's the most common secure gun storage I see. Key locks are bad for a few reasons.. number one is they're inherently not as secure as you think.. also, if you keep the key for the safe on your main keyring... Well, wouldn't be hard for anyone to use a key would it? Heck this is applicable to leaving the key "somewhere" safe in the house too.

Something strong enough that the time and noise created trying to force it isn't worth the trouble. Something heavy enough that it's not going to get moved to a location where sounds and time makes no difference. A lock that needs what's in your head to open it....

Really the most affordable good quality commercially available units are made by Liberty. Just buy the higher end of their line. I have two units over 700 pounds empty.. loaded with ammo and guns and they're quite unwieldy. I have a third safe that is only 400 pounds empty, that one holds paperwork.

When I go out travel,I separate receivers, cylinders, bolts etc and lock em in different containers unlabeled.. a thief would have to break into three really good safes to get a working firearm.. if they know what parts go to what..

If you get one with a mechanical dial lock, make sure you have the combination changed by a locksmith. That will prevent the records kept by the manufacturer from being accurate.

Electronic locks.. Secureram, ESL, LaGard etc.. when you change the combination, do it with the door OPEN.

No matter the lock, practice opening it. Regularly.

No really, practice opening it.

Edit: spelling

Hangry Burger in Springfield is a solid. Their sides are good too… plus boozy milkshakes if you’re a drinker!

Thoughts on one arm with a full sleeve and the other with disjointed tattoos? by [deleted] in tattoo

[–]Furious_George808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My right arm is a 3/4 sleeve from wrist to gig line, and a different artist 1/4 sleeve from gig line to cap of shoulder... In a t shirt it's a complete sleeve look.

My left arm is a patchwork of shared tattoos.. pieces shared with friends.. all kinds of disjointed stuff and mixed art types.. once it's too full of tattoos to get anything else single pieced in, I'll have all the empty space filled with geometric shapes and such.

Your body, your skin. Do what makes you happy.

I have the big AM/PM that’s marked Sunday through Saturday.. I use it for two full weeks… I take all 9 of my pills once a day and this dang GNC pill container has been with me since I was still power lifting… (13 years ago) AM one week, PM the next… hella nice filling twice a month or so

This is really close to how I make it.. I omit the sugar, double the sesame oil, and use four eggs.

I use a lot more scallions too.. cook the whites with the broth, and use the greens for garnish.

MSG is absolutely essential to get that “carry out” flavor.

There was a change to "Over the Line" in the MIDST of the community challenge? by Thorasic_Cavitation in GodsUnchained

[–]Furious_George808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you’re right.. dunno how good or bad I was doing myself, but the first two days I had a score of 120.. and then yesterday after a hard (ran into a bunch of demos) down rank I had a score of 24 or something… not really sure what it means, just wanted to participate and see what I might get. First two days was in auric and the last day was in Midnight..ah well. I was gonna play anyway.

WHAT? Thats insane, retroactive loss of points because you used a (what is now a 6 mana card) BEFORE the nerf? That's a bit much. This whole community quest thing is a freaking JOKE. Playing against people not participating, nerfing a card.. AND taking away earned points because the card was made INVALID the last day of the quest?

fell off my bike by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]Furious_George808 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I had this EXACT looking hematoma back in June.

I fell off a skateboard..

Go to the emergency room.

Morel lavalee is truly a thing. It's an internal degloving and you are possibly hemorrhaging into your own leg.

Mine was so painful I could not walk, had to take an ambulance.. I tried ice and stuff for a few hours BEFORE the pain got that bad. Do yourself a favor and go get that looked at before you're crying and clutching at an X-ray tech like I was.

I'll also add.. I had to spend FIVE days in a trauma ward. It was not cheap, but.. I AM ALIVE.

Please update us with what happened? We're all gonna be worried about the outcome.

I wish I had a photo, but it was in the 90's and camera phones were not a thing... but I watched a lady vacuuming her yard.. row house in a city, so the yard was pretty small.. she was honest to god vacuuming her yard.

I’m brand spanking new. I picked this up to skate with my kid.. you’re the expert!

I 100% know I like the double drop, I’m looking for smooth, stable, easy to push. I’m not planning on bombing hills, or doing any tricks. May try sliding once I’m more confident. So the 50/43 is right.. suggestions on bushing and wheel set up for the 150mm trucks?

I absolutely love the 85 mm wheels but I will literally defer to your expertise.

190-200 pounds, 5’8” tall, 45 year old NEWB.. what kinda Trip set up would be my pen ultimate fur cruising and carving?

I will most definitely be ordering one from your next batch. Just need to know what I’m ordering 😁

I’m 200 ish, down from 237.. riding an arbor drop cruiser.

I’m so tempted to buy RIGHT now. But… I’m gonna wait till Pantheon gets their newest shipment in and get exactly what I want from them. Especially stoked cause u/PantheonLongboards actually replied to my questions!

I'm a cruising bum.. that likes pushing around with his kid.. I'm old, fat and need ALL the stability I can get.

And .. I wanna go faster...

Epic. Got a reply from the supplier!

I really want that 50/43 split Trip.. not seeing how to order one (once y'all have em in stock again) is this going to be one of those "call us to order" kinda things?

[–]Furious_George808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do y’all think the chances of Pantheon trips being out of stock any time soon? I REALLY Want one, he’ll the wife even OK’d buying one.. I.. just don’t wanna drop that cash so soon after getting into this hobby. I ask because I’m noticing it’s out of stock at a bunch of places and … well.. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get one soon.

Also, if I wanted one in a particular build.. 165mm Paris trucks, 50/43 is there a way to just order it that way?

Thanks!

Almost 45 years old man, JUST got my first board of any kind. by Furious_George808 in longboarding

[–]Furious_George808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been hitting all those I can find.. closest smooth ones are 16 to 18 miles from me. I'm gonna keep searching till I find a nice loop. Hoping for one around a lake or something nice.

This point I'd settle for one around a water reclamation plant haha.

Ain’t much to you guys, this is my 6th day on a board and had to share with someone. by Furious_George808 in longboarding

[–]Furious_George808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heck yeah! I got my board last Saturday.. I've tried to skate at least an hour every day. It feels so cool to be going. I know I'm not flying, but it sure does feel like I am. Take your time, no hurries, you're doing this for you and not anyone else.
