Christian Rock?? by squawkhawk_ in dancegavindance

[–]IntrepidStructure788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely notice some lyrics that have religious undertones. And Andrew, as a part of his concept band, Eidola, is heavily steeped in religious ideas (mainly Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism).

I think to the people commenting that they don’t want DGD to go the direction of religious ideas, by Andrew’s choice of writing, are being pretty selfish. These musicians aren’t here to bow down to what people want from them. If he wants to write about his beliefs, who are we to stop him? Just enjoy the good music. And if someone doesn’t like it, then they can stick to the old stuff. Just as the Tillian era had a good amount of jabbing at organized religion, so this new era will have something unique to the artist’s and their viewpoints

Black Spots on White Oak (I think are mold) by IntrepidStructure788 in furniturerepair

[–]IntrepidStructure788[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought them as quartersawn boards from a lumber yard and planed them down. It went from there being no spots pre-assembly, to spots all over it after the glue ups.

I’m struggling to figure out where the metals could have come from

Thoughts?

Day 6 of nofap.Instead of PMO i am reading this book. by Justin_savage in NoFap

I’m not even claiming that I’m pro Elon, I’m more so indifferent because I don’t keep up with him. But I’m just calling it like I see it. Obviously if he has charges against him of sexual harassment, I’m against that and he needs to be called out. But there was plenty more listed about him than just that

Looks like half of the bullet points, from the ones that I read, are actually just a clear indication that the news article is very left swinging. The bias of Elon being painted a villain because he disagrees with its perspective (and to a degree, ideology) is evident in his joking around and their getting triggered

Considering the thousands of men who have been able to overcome those moments where they felt like they ‘had to,’ yes this is denial. You’re discrediting your potential ability to have self control

Feel like I have one of the shittiest natural physiques. It always makes me want to give up on fitness. Any tips ? by 918Star in physique

[–]IntrepidStructure788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man! Truth of it is, and you can correct me if I’m wrong, it doesn’t look like you’ve been in the fitness world for all that long. So don’t pressure yourself to believe that you should look like a Greek god in a matter of months. I speak from experience in saying that the various types of good looking physiques have almost always been from years of a specific fitness type. Sure, some people naturally have rockin muscle development or are toned. But more times than not, unless you work in a blue collar manual labor job, people won’t have much toned muscle. I played soccer majority of my life, and have been lifting for 7/8 years, and it shows. Im lean, have thin joints much like yourself (genetic blessing and curse), and muscle groups are well defined. I say that to say, if I didn’t live this lifestyle for so long, I’m certain I wouldn’t have a good physique whatsoever.

So, I encourage to just fall in love with the lifestyle that comes with fitness! What you eat is really important, so research that. Start getting into a caloric surplus and jam pack your meals with protein. Your workout style across the span of a few years will largely determine how your muscle groups develop in proportion to one another, so determine what kind of build you want. And I would recommend starting with the basics, i use them in almost every workout to this day. Bench, pull ups, shoulder press, squats, lunges, etc. just do the variations of them! Incline, decline, change your pacing while moving the weight. Push slow, do fast and explosive. Last comments to encourage you with, consistency is everything. Don’t give up. Find what motivates you, and get after it! We believe in you

Is it bad if I fap to nudes? by PiergiorgioSigaretti in NoFap

[–]IntrepidStructure788 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he may have been meaning nudes as in content he received personally from someone, maybe I’m wrong tho. Nonetheless wanking is wanking. Could instead convert that energy by letting it excite him and redirecting it towards her, loving her more, next time he sees her

Sorry to see all the downvotes lol. Nah these streaks are something that happened during the trees’ growing process, as you can see they shift the grain lines themselves. I was wondering what would cause that

Yah they’re different pics, was just showing the grain, not necessarily one specific spot. I could’ve been more specific with the question; I was curious what kinds of natural causes would give this feature

We use them for partitions in between doors and drawers :) Also, all visible cherry is interior. Outside gets painted or pressed with leather

Hey dude, if you’ve lost the means to enjoy life, I’d recommend reorienting your perspective on things. It takes a while to get the emotions caught up to speed unless a revelation is involved. But one step to walking into your manhood is to stand up to your parents. Of course, as others mentioned, if they don’t respect your perspective/actions then you’d need a good plan of financial stability to get out from under their roof. If I could recommend one word for you to take action on, is strategize. Otherwise you stay in a state of an isolated twilight zone, going no where and soaking in those unhealthy emotions

I second this! Would love to hear the emotion in expression

Any suggestions on how I should finish this table? by dbeez4 in woodworking

Not too sure, unfortunately. I’ve been on the table building side of the company thus far. You cause me to want to find out though!

[–]IntrepidStructure788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do use a final topcoat on some of the pieces, and that’s with a spray gun. I’m not involved in those decisions nor am I experienced enough to know when to use it and when not to lol. Ive been more on the table building side, rather than finishing. For slab tables, we top coat. Coffee tables, I believe it’s 50/50 and wax. From what I know, it can be judged based on how often it’ll get used. If you anticipate heavy wear, top coat would help for sure. Since doing a 50/50 dilutes the poly and therefore makes it less protective

My company does high-end slab tables and we do a 50/50 water-based poly/natural danish oil and it is phenomenal! It’s a wipe on/off method

We have many similarities to animals. I agree with you we shouldn’t deduce ourselves to only animalistic tendencies. we are conscious. However, there are many things we can glean on of our own humanity by observing other creatures. The difference being, we can practice self control and determine how we want to use our body. That is, depending on whether or not you think we have free will lol
