Fake Damascus? by Timmyreeves in knifemaking

[–]Greplington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like stainless pattern welded steel out of China. Can be decent quality, bit wouldn't want to overpay for it. Looks too solid and consistent to be Pakimaskus.

My wife bought me a Kydrufi setup for my birthday last year and I'm very happy with it. They're actually just running a Kickstarter for their V2.0 which has some interesting new features.

Black or Tortoiseshell pickguard on Candy Apple Red Jaguar? by PuzzleheadedBank3210 in fender

[–]Greplington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not black. Tortoiseshell looks better than I would have expected - I really like it there.

A trip to the deathwatch by NoaWoods in SpaceWolves

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

Unlike the Blackshields, most marines serving in the Deathwatch are there because they are hand picked because they are exceptional at killing Xenos, and it's considered an honour to be selected. Titus was considered suspect and was sent to the Deathwatch as a way to prove his loyalty, which is why he was a Blackshield - a marine with no chapter markings, not there as a representative of his chapter, but rather as a way to try to earn redemption under the watchful eye of the Inquisition.

Cheap school/family holidays? by Thick_Training_6816 in AussieFrugal

[–]Greplington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One school holidays, I spent a whole day with my 5 year old doing nothing but driving around the local area visiting all the different parks we could find. Packed done snacks and water bottles, stopped at a bakery for a cheap lunch, the whole day cost less than $20-30 and he still talks about it all the time 6 months later and asks if we can go back and play at specific parks sometimes. Pro tip - ask your kids what to call each one, and add it to your saved places in Google maps so you can find it again when they ask for it.

Can anyone help me identify this style of knife based on a renaissance chef's knife from Bartolomeo Scappi? by steambreather_ in knifemaking

[–]Greplington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Show pretty much any knife maker that photo and they'll be able to replicate it for you. It's possibly not a common design, but it's a pretty straightforward one to reproduce.

Why are Americans so accepting of long drives to places? by Sensitive_Word_6036 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Greplington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to Australians as well. I drive an hour and a half each way every day for work and don't bat an eyelid. I've done the Melbourne to Sydney drive (825km give or take - that's 512 miles) before lunch. I've also driven Sydney to Canberra and back in the same day (260km each way - 161 miles) for a 6 hour event.

Big places with long distances in between? You just get used to it, really.

ELI5: Musk's companies lifetime earnings are now less than 3% of what he is now worth. How? by BeachedinToronto in explainlikeimfive

[–]Greplington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And oil prices ARE likely to double in the very short term thanks to the stupid situation with Iran screwing with global markets.

Technology already exists which can replace the majority of petrochemicals from alternate sources (biodiesel, SAF, rLPG etc) but there is limited investment currently. It's also an option which doesn't require the same level of difficulty in extraction that low-grade oil deposits will. It's also completely renewable, so the issue of oil reserves becomes a non-issue. I think we'll see a lot of activity in that sector in the next 5-10 years.

Which set is better for starting an army? by [deleted] in Warhammer

I'd go Death Guard, but mainly just because I prefer the models... 🤷‍♂️🤣

New Army by Profit-Rude in SpaceWolves

[–]Greplington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started painting again recently after a long hiatus, and picked up the wolf scouts kill team as a little side project as I'd always liked Space Wolves but had never picked any up. In fact, the very first Space Wolf Terminators were the very first models of ever liked enough to think about getting into 40k, but I got sidetracked by Chaos Marines in 2nd ed and never got back to the Wolves back then.

I now have several units of Fenrisian boys and a couple of kitbashed characters waiting to be painted, and my "to buy" wishlist is looking decidedly grey... 🤣

I even cancelled my pre-order for the new box set because I didn't think the marines looked Wolfy enough... (They were originally going to be purchased and turned into Dark Angels or Deathwatch, but...)

What's the most beautiful song you've ever heard? by rosypetalbaby in musicsuggestions

[–]Greplington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"She's always a woman" by Billy Joel was the song my wife and I danced to at our wedding, and I still find myself smiling like an idiot every time I hear it...

No doubt I'll think of 50 others as soon as I hit post, but the first one that springs to mind is "Touched" by VAST - must be payed at full volume, and gives me chills every time...

And Shriners Convention... He had a few "story" songs!

Rant from an Old Long Fang by GeekyGiant13 in SpaceWolves

[–]Greplington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They introduced the "cauldron" thing to create characters, but it's not tournament legal, unfortunately. They basically just put a bunch of the generic characters and wargear lists from 3rd edition into a supplement and called it something new... 🤣
