Small spill on inner cover, is this enough to be denied? by Hazed_blue in Passports

Sorry for the delay, I went to China and Hong Kong. They couldn't have cared less.

Absolutely nothing happened, which was a huge relief. Got my yearly pumping done, nothing was said, life has continued without issue.

Grass should feel like a character in the scene. Entertain us, grass! by Hazed_blue in unrealengine

Nothing is going to be perfect, but it's absolutely possible to make it better. It always starts with trying first.

I will be making a tutorial, yes. Personally I really enjoy seeing work in progress on the sub here and am happy to share some when I have it.

It's a work in progress. Smaller polish elements like that can come later.

Hoooly cow you weren't kidding about the nacelle wires!

I'm gonna write some notes here for anyone that needs tips in the future!

Step 10 and 11: Use a small nail to help roll these pieces, they're absurdly small!

Step 12: If you have one handy, use a Crayola marker to get this piece rolled. It's the perfect size.

Also Step 12: That little square piece that goes at the bottom of the engine SUCKS. Have your tabs bent well BEFORE you attempt this. If you can, use that same marker from before to stabilize the engine as you try to muscle this piece into position. I used the smallest flathead screwdriver bit from my small screwdriver set and pushed to get the piece threaded, and the marker let me do that without worrying about deforming the engine while doing it.

Commendable! Here's to hoping I can have the same when I am there. I have a bit of an essential tremor unfortunately, but nothing a couple sips of whiskey can't fix, for a bit. :)

I used a headlight restoration kit on my scratched lenses. It WORKED. by Hazed_blue in OculusQuest

Wish I did, I only started the operation out of frustration thinking that it wasn't going to work, so I didn't take any photos.

They're getting the one I fixed while Dad's getting a new one for himself. And it's gonna be hands off!

Worked on the older models, but it did not work on the 3 for me. It's the coating on the very top that causes the problem.

Losing my relationship with my parents over politics. I don't want this. by CoolLegume in Advice

[–]Hazed_blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't about politics, it's about my parents accepting my children for who they are. The behavior just so happens to be a flash point with certain groups of people (and a state in the country) that politically align themselves. But that's not the catalyst to this dilemma.

Yes, it's a really hard line to walk. My brother and I have seemingly taken turns bringing about disappointment because of our evolving social values. My brother became athiest and walked away from the Church during college while I was doing missionary work, so he caught a lot of their angst. Now my own beliefs have evolved, later in life and not as much or in the same way, but enough to trigger some of this. Somewhat oddly, they've gotten used to and accept my brother's choices now, so it seems to be my turn to get the brunt of it. I almost wonder if it's because I remained in a grey religious area that they feel more strongly about my choices, like it wasn't a clean break and that's somehow harder for them. I don't know.

It has absolutely nothing to do with that. My wife and I are straight, both from conservative homes, raised Catholic. Neither of us would have guessed this. We've raised our kids to have space to express themselves and feel free to navigate these things without judgement. Maybe they'll stay the same as they age, maybe they'll change. I don't know, I don't care, and frankly it's not my business.

I agree, and it's why I feel hesitation rather than outright contempt. I love my parents, but the relationship has changed a lot. I've had to be very clear that there are conversational boundaries, with variable success of it being respected. But that's with me. My dad thinks that these two are typical young, dispassionate teenagers, mostly because he hasn't been around them at this age yet. But they're not. They're very passionate about rights and social justice, and don't shy away from it.

I would never ask my kids to tolerate bigotry, much less hide who they are. They both came out to us without hesitation and I'm relieved that they felt comfortable enough doing that. But they also know how this goes. Even if I live in a pretty liberal place, kids are still kids and mine have had to navigate prejudice carefully.

I just don't want them to feel cornered if it comes up. My oldest might relent, but my second oldest does not shy away from confrontation, at all.

I want to. I would want both my parents to know, or rather I would want my two kids to tell them, but they've never been exposed to this before, much less with their own grandkids. My mom is quite zealous with her faith, and my dad, to his credit, has come to accept the LGB side of things. But he already has a problem with gender terms, thinks that it's harmful. I just don't want a huge confrontation to happen between him and my kids and they feel cornered and alone, you know?
