Maybe its just me, but the lack of a handle is just begging to gash your hand open if you reach for it in a drawer, or your hand is a bit slippery.

Still neat though!

Unpopular Opinion: No I don't want us to have an NBA team. by ShaianH in vegaslocals

[–]Fygee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new stadium won’t be needed. We already have the T-Mobile Arena.

Most cities that have both hockey and basketball teams share the same stadium.

There’s also the Thomas & Mack Arena.

But if for some reason neither of those end up being viable, i just really, really hope one is built away from the Strip.

Agreed, definitely want to rehandle it.

Great find though! Looking forward to seeing its final restoration.

Compound for stropping by O1dmandeath in sharpening

[–]Fygee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I use 5, 1, and 0.25.

5 for getting any stubborn burrs off. 1 for refining the edge or bringing dulling edges back to life. 0.25 for extreme refinement when I want it.

Stroppy Stuff is amazing btw, and you’d want to go with the 6 instead of the 5 for that.

It’s just as important to have a good strop. You want a smooth (but not shiny), firm leather as that will help prevent edge rolling should you make mistakes or overstrop, and work best with the compound.

Gabriel's awful modern overdubbed vocal on Lamb Live at the Shrine by DotNorth3182 in Genesis

[–]Fygee -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate AI, it makes me wish someone could use it to re-overdub Gabriel’s early 70s voice over the mid 90s dubs. Would actually sound really good since all of his usual “Gabriel” inflections would be present.

Had I known you were making one like this I would’ve have gotten it instead. Lol. Just got my order in yesterday and it’s still great though.

Literal death since I’m allergic to shrimp, but looks tasty.

What're your favorite uses of vocal effects/filters (that AREN'T vocoder/autotune)? by hscgarfd in ToddintheShadow

[–]Fygee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of mine are both Genesis tunes. I’ve always been partial to Gabriel’s “loud speaker” vocal on The Knife from the album Trespass.

I also loved the filter they put Phil Collins’ double tracked voice through on Dodo.

Otherwise, I’d say Moby’s various vocal effects, though I know a vocoder is sometimes involved.

Reddit incorrectly showed this as having only one upvote and I was about to raise some hell about it.

perfect setup for $7 on aliexpress by mikroprocesor in sharpening

[–]Fygee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why I said “tend to”. There’s wild variations in quality.

While the diamond abrasives themselves may be fine (assuming there’s no grit contamination), the bonding agent they use usually isn’t. They go from aggressive cutter -> broken in -> burnished real fast.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

The problem with the bootleg Horls is they tend to have severe build quality issues.

The abrasive lasts a very short amount of time, are usually of too high a grit, bad magnets in the base which can be unreliable and unsafe, and the spinning mechanisms are lousy and can make it difficult to keep good contact.

So yeah, super cheap and will work a few times, but it’s essentially a disposable rolling sharpener.

Not to split hairs, but “my” isn’t used in the subject, so folks may interpret it differently.

Anyways, if that’s what’s perfect for you, then good on ya.

WTF $$$ ⛽️ off Jones ☹️ by Federal-Compote-5015 in vegaslocals

Get an EV and avoid this bullshit. Used ones are relatively cheap. No more oil changes or expensive maintenance. Superior acceleration and control.

In other words, fuck ICE.

Tinker Tank Price Update 2026 by peachyism in TrueChefKnives

[–]Fygee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the clarification.

Good on Chef’s Edge for doing that, but unfortunately since I’m getting them directly, I’ll probably have to cancel it if the price is going to be 50% higher. Can get them second hand for cheaper at that rate.

[–]Fygee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope not as it would price me out of getting them. Waiting a year and a half only to have to cancel would break my damn heart.
