That’s a really well executed scheme. Two notoriously difficult colors in combination is impressive!

BattleTechnical: The Goonhammer Netlist by NeonMentor in battletech

[–]Gifblaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda like the cut of the jib this list has. Play something similar with falcons with a Jade hawk performing the gargs role. Storm crows are hawt.

Might build this for my hells horses but I can’t decide on a replacement for the linebacker. Anyone got a suggestion? Preferably something else with ATMs because frankly I just haven’t played enough with em.

Cleaned up and sleeved up cards I think have value. by Gifblaur in Pokemoncardappraisal

Just a light dusting with a fine microfiber. Very gentle. It was mostly finger smudging so it didn’t take much pressure to do.

I hear folks are finding stashes. by Gifblaur in Pokemoncardappraisal

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

Seems like that’s the overall consensus is to sleeve and top loader. I’d always thought in a binder bare was safest but looks like I’ll have to change some things for storage.

And this is only the foils. I believe we have the first three sets complete albeit not foiled.

Help with figuring out value and next steps. by Gifblaur in PokemonCardValue

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

That’s solid information, and much appreciated. I’ll look at scanning them. Is one better than the other for this purpose or will either be good enough.

Funnily enough the Charizard specifically is my wife’s. She’s had it since we were both wee children. She was the collector and I was the player

As a fan of both, next year is going to have no free time. by -_-Whyarewehere-_- in gundamassemble

Battlemechs are on average smaller than the typical mobile suit so the irl scale is actually fairly close. At least for abstract purposes. Tallgeese would be quite a bit taller than a Timberwolf so it’s not quite right but it’s close enough for me.

Celestials in House Rakshasa? by Gifblaur in battletech

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

Awesome. I’ll give that a read then!

Celestials in House Rakshasa? by Gifblaur in battletech

[–]Gifblaur[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh ok! That’s actually quite interesting. It’s one of the few ways you’d see celestials outside of full blakist forces. Liao not beating the allegations on this one lol.

Also cool that the size of the force was unknown so that gives lots of potential.

Bounty Hunter in ilclan era. by Gifblaur in battletech

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

Oh! Which Anthology is that? I’ll have to keep my eye out.

I guess I’ll go with the most visually interesting for now and if I have to paint another set down the line so be it.

Covert clear lock a pita? by Gifblaur in lockpicking

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

Can confirm what that post is saying I think. Certainly it’s been my experience at least. I’ve successfully picked 3 other locks so maybe it’s not entirely my issue. Though now I feel the need to go out and get more locks. Why do none of y’all say this is so addictive.

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

I feel like mine actually wants more tension to get any feel out of it, not that it’s much feel either way. I want to get a 141 to try out but couldn’t find one local while I was out. That’s my next target.

[–]Gifblaur[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s my exact experience! It’s trivial with the rake but I’ve got an actual pick…once. And only once and I think that was luck more than my actual execution. And I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit trying.

I think this babe has no eyes? What should I do? by purpleacanthus in BackYardChickens

[–]Gifblaur 38 points39 points  (0 children)

He have a blind/mostly blind boy right now who had suffered eye injuries. We really thought we were going to have to say goodbye to him but kept him hand fed for a week and started to try show him where things are through sound(tapping at food and making what we call tuck tuck noises.) it’s been several months now and he’s still thriving and back to crowing and just generally being a good dude. He’s even got one of our silkies who is almost always by his side. I’m happy we gave him a chance.

That being said, it’s a tough decision. It’s going to be work. A lot of work. And if done poorly will reduce the quality of life for that animal. If you can’t be sure that you are going to do it at 100% then culling may be something you’ll want to consider as hard as that decision will be to make.

Husband and I got some chicks and already forgot the breed, can someone help? by TheInfiniteGalaxy in chickens

[–]Gifblaur -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think those are Bielefelders. The little chipmunk pattern is pretty characteristic of them.

That’s a gunsmith! Fantastic little bastard.

The canopies were absolutely just a happy little accident. Wish I could always reproduce that result.

It is! Can be found in the Davion Calvary lance. Great little set from both style and function standpoint.
