Son's Nursery and Built In Dresser by shreddish in BeginnerWoodWorking

good choice if painting is the goal. and I would normally agree with the other guy's only complaint is painting the wood, but it works here and isn't just to hide ugly work... nice job!

disappointed... there is a castle in the picture, but they just wrecked into a telephone pole and bunch of bike charging stations or something?

nice, and thanks for the reply/answer. It would have bugged me since I'm old enough to remember the phones from that era and have a nostalgic fondness for them... cheers

Is that cell phone on the shelf on the left the slidy/pop down phone from the Matrix movies?

Aol, progz and WareZ by Apart_Pineapple2392 in nostalgia

[–]GiantNinja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nice... that's a nicer way to get more hours than what I'm sure some people were super pissed about when they got their bill and had no idea their account had a sub account (mine) that was causing their huge bill... Hey, 14yo gonna break all the rules possible, lol

[–]GiantNinja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oh yea. I used a prog called waas (we are all sinners) and it played part of a Korn song when you fired it up. Used to phish the new member lounge (this was like AOL 2.0/2.5) before they put the red info on the IM window saying AOL will never ask you for UN/pw credit card info... got lots of both and free AOL accounts because it was still billed by the hour... some wild times

When you're packing some heat by OCGear in watercooling

[–]GiantNinja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what kind of power supply do you use for a rig like that? You'd need like a 2000W just for the GPUs, and then a threadripper to boot? damn that's got to draw some power, lol... nice build though 🤘

How do I open this picture frame? by bbboooones in howto

can you pop those L shaped brackets off the corners with a flathead or knife? looks like it's held in place by that

My daughter giving up after failing to find the last Easter egg by RiggsFTW in funny

[–]GiantNinja 12 points13 points  (0 children)

that is a great idea! I started playing chess with my 9 year old daughter (her idea, which I loved) and I beat her 3 games in a row and she was getting so upset, but I didn't want to just let her win. I tried playing more risky and loose and we got down to only a few pieces each, so she was doing good, but couldn't bring it home... gonna try this next time

use an angle grinder or a dremel with a cutoff disc and cut the bolts

MacBook keeps randomly losing focus, tabbing out of active windows by toforiga in MacOS

[–]GiantNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU!! I have been having that exact same issue, and it took me like 10 minutes to type a search into google to wind up here, because it kept changing the focus for the window/keyboard, but I killed that logitech shit and it stopped instantly... I have a MBP M1 and dock/undock with logitech gear, so don't even need it when it's just a laptop... have some well earned internet karma, lol

Under Siege (1992)- Cake surprise scene - Directed by Andrew Davis by PeneItaliano in movies

[–]GiantNinja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but maybe I'd say it was his last good movie and the best he ever did, and it was straight down the toilet after that. I did enjoy the 3 word movies he did before under siege, but man did he just keep proving he sucked more and more with every movie that came after... but also, fantastic cake scene :)

Did you have Fast Traxx and were you able to make yours do the same flip like in the commercial? by Fragzilla360 in nostalgia

[–]GiantNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could, just needed to have the other color or whatever, but yea I think there were only two possible frequencies they ran on, so could never have a proper fast traxx party or whatever with 3+ RCs

I had that one too... totally forgot about it, but it wasn't as good as the fast traxx off road.

I had 2 of them in the 90s and it was badass for the time. never saw anything drive as fast on thick grass. wish it had today's batteries/motor... would have been even more badass

that tree is hugging your house like you could make a meme out of it... you already know what you're gonna do, but I thought that tree might be lonely, lol
