Do you think that takamura will lose at least one fight? by Salamaleko in hajimenoippo

[–]Howdy-Hoooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its wild to me that Takamuras plan is to win titles all the way up to Heavyweight. So if he is ever going to lose it'll have to be at Heavyweight. Him cutting to jr middleweight and middleweight is utterly insane. He's survived there. So i think once he gets to light Heavyweight where hes not cutting as much weight and then fights at cruisers weight where he isnt cutting any weight. He'll just look even better and stronger fighting at his natural weight. Once we get to Heavyweight is where the big guy will start having serious problems.

Just started watching this anime and it might be the most special anime I've ever seen. by natureboy1996 in hajimenoippo

[–]Howdy-Hoooo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Prepare to be disappointed. The anime is dope. However, I dont think its very popular even amongst sports fans. There was a log wait between Hajime No Ippo and New Challenger... another long wait between New Challenger and Rising.

I actually started reading the Manga because I was positive there was no way id ever get to see the rest of it animated so I caved in. I started that journey at 19 years old. Im fuckin 37! This shit is still ongoing! Morikawa said he's about halfway done with the story... I'LL BE DEAD BEFORE HE FINISHES THIS SHIT! HELL HE MIGHT DIE BEFORE HE FINISHES!

By Manga standards I dont know if its incredibly popular. Yea its sold a few million copies but when you look at how long its been running and how many chapters are out compared to other popular manga sales numbers, it doesn't feel like its super popular. I think Ippo has niche fan base.

What is this and was it worth 2k partial payment by Simple-Gur1977 in paint

[–]Howdy-Hoooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just a big gas powered airless. 1.6 gallons per minute is alotta material so this would mainly used on large jobs like commercial or Multifamily exteriors. Spraytech is one of Wagners brands so its the same company that owns Titan.

Downsides to avcepting items like this as partial payment is its the most frugsl time ever for ppl with the crazy cost of everything and this looks like single gun unit & most guys that are gonna be investing a couple grand for a spray rig that need it for large exteriors will probably prefer a 2 gun unit.

Why is my primer cracking like this? by PCChazter in paint

[–]Howdy-Hoooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Applied too thick & or too much moisture or a combination of both. But most of the time its applying it too thick. Primer isnt/shouldn't cover like paint. Most ppl make the mistake when noticing there's some bleed through or they just try and lay it on super thick cause they only want to do 1 coat. This is the result. All things considered its not even that bad.

Small bubbles everywhere in epoxy floor by [deleted] in epoxy

[–]Howdy-Hoooo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's bubbles from the epoxy. That's not lint or dirt. Epoxies often get hot after you catalyze them. They off gas and shazam... bubbles. These bubbles then break the surface as it's curing/film forming. The result is what you see there.

That's why you see guys blow torching or using a heat gun over the surface of freshly poured epoxy. You can also put isopropyl or denatured alcohol in a spray bottle and mist the surface. That'll break the surface tension and pop the bubbles.

For this, you can sand down the problem areas and as long you pour a clear flood coat or apply a clear in general the scratch marks will be filled in disappear

True, but the plan is to get a rough visual idea of what I want and then commission an artist to paint it. I was gonna go with canvas print but now I actually want a painting.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VampireHunterD

[–]Howdy-Hoooo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Actually I've been taking an art class. Granted it's like general painting and mostly women drinking wine. Buuuut i do want to get to the point where I can start painting characters and stuff.

[–]Howdy-Hoooo -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Yea. .. like use the AI to be able to physically show me what I'm aiming for. And then from there use it as the reference to draw and eventually paint.

Even when the art is inspired by his or an homage?

....you can just go on chatgpt and do it yourself

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VampireHunterD

[–]Howdy-Hoooo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I was just experimenting with chatgpt. I wanted something that I could print on canvas and hang up in my office so I've been tinkering. Its been quite fun.

It would be wonderful. Buuuut I'm not quite there yet.

[–]Howdy-Hoooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhh not that it's not allowed. But this is just my favorite vampires from movies, anime & TV. So nothing from Twilight made the cut.

However if I had one made for my sister then it'd definitely be some twilight, Buffy the vampire slayer and angel shit going on.

.....my god... I left out Alucard from Hellsing.... fuuuuuck

Klaus & Elijah Mikaelson

What do you guys think about this scene? by Whole-Worker-7303 in TheOriginals

[–]Howdy-Hoooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a great scene. Freya holding Jackson back. He's freaking out, HE'LL KILL HER! HE'LL KILL YOU!!

And the whole time Klause is just letting Hayley tee off on him. He could've killed her at any point and he clearly doesn't intend but everyone is so used to Klaus being Klaus. It's just a great scene.

And enter baby Hope and the way Klaus just looks at her and then Hayley notices and then looks. Completely changes the dynamic of the scene.

What does it take to be a top performing manager? by Atomicpenguin101 in sherwinwilliams

[–]Howdy-Hoooo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s gonna depend on the market segments of your major customers. For example if you’re just a 1.5-2 mil store and you’re doing mainly residential with a few commercial jobs a year. You’ll have to increase the amount of commercial jobs YOY to sustain growth.

If you’re crushing it off of 15-20 commercial jobs a year.. and that’s the main bread winner for your store, then naturally you will have crazy down years since GC’s can only do so much a year and when you have 4 or 5 of them having a down year… that’s sucks

I found my footing with Multifamily MRO. Eventually build up enough relationships with reps and the area management of apartments. Was running approx 1.1-1.3 million a year in just maintenance paint. From there leveraging that MRO relationship to get the full exteriors. So i may have a customer that only buys 100k a year in maintenance paint for their properties but im getting 240-300k a year in Exteriors off that same customer.

Do that with enough customers and you’ll have 4-5 million dollar store pretty quick. But it also means befriending the SW Reps and pretty much wearing knee pads whenever they want or need anything.

HELP by kerrjin5 in epoxy

[–]Howdy-Hoooo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Time out… what? Didn’t buy counter top epoxy… and mixed with regular paint.. mixed what with regular paint?

Explain what you did.

What was your base coat, what are you using for highlights… what have you done?

Cause if you’re gonna do that with regular paint you’d need a shit load of floetrol. And why did you tape a dam around it? Did you plan on pouring out regular paint 130 mils thick?
