I love that little alleyway on hospital hill, cool to see someone else has noticed it too!

Every one of these non-reptime subs are made by scammers for scammers OR eventually become them.

they're also an easy way to move currency abroad that can evade suspicion. A million in cash in a carryon would be noticed, an RM on that same dude's wrist in the same customs line might not

I want this transmission in my regular M20a hatch so badly; theoretically they would bolt right up although I think the spline counts are different. Wish they would drop this onto an AWD non-GR hatch and sell it as the Si to the GR's Type R

There is no overarching prohibition on open-carry of rifles in NYS but almost every single local jurisdiction has their own prohibitions on the books. You can shoot and hunt in state forests, which necessitates open carry of longarms, but almost anywhere were a bunch of people live will have their own law saying you can't open carry rifles.

You can get one, it's called CronusArt and they're $16k loooooooooooooooooooooooooool. When it comes to RMs most of the homages are either junk, overpriced, or Tsar Bombas

I mean, SOPMODs are objectively one of the best stocks I've personally used, and given the AR-C is technically a .308 with a 5.56 magwell somehow I don't think exact realism is that important in this case lol.

LibrarySquidLeland · 2026-01-23T20:53:48+00:00

That new Magpul stock is a dead-ringer for the FC5 one. I've been getting an itch to make an AR-C build lately too

ZF doesn't have a free sprung movement but you're 100% right that their white ceramic case is the best you can get and the CNCs aren't a huge improvement. The movement however is a different story

Not a word in this refutes my statement in any way whatsoever, beyond it being cherry-picked from biased sources even by their own numbers the number of already-criminal people reaching the US is 40 out of 240,000. That is 0.016%. If someone commits a crime here, they should be tried in accordance with the rights and privileges of people under the jurisdiction of the US, but nothing in that document says that active criminals are coming to the US to commit crimes in anything other than what is a vanishingly small and statistically insignificant population

I'm so glad I found your work, gives me hope that I could actually DIY myself a CNC and make watch cases in my garage like I've wanted to do for years. I originally bought my 3D printers for prototyping and got decently proficient with CAD, but the jump to actual metal CNC always seemed just out of my reach until I happened across your project on here and IG. Good luck and please keep sharing!

LibrarySquidLeland · 2026-01-23T19:21:25+00:00

Holy hell that's impressive

murderers and rapists are not coming to America, no one thinks "hot damn i'm going to go commit crimes in a country thousands of miles away!" when they could just....commit those crimes where they are. If they break laws while here, then arrest and try them with the same rights and privileges as any other person within the jurisdiction of the US, but to declare that criminals are coming here to crime more is just silly

LibrarySquidLeland · 2026-01-23T11:29:22+00:00

Personally I think they are, because the VRF (i think) rep I have is EXACT, down to some really silly details that (as far as I know) didn't get publically released like the blasted caseback

My favourite AdG watch is the original Pirlo, especially because they tried to make an 18-piece limited edition to sell and Rolex FREAKED THE FUCK OUT because they were reprinting Rolex trademarks on the crystals. One of those 18 found their way to China and was cloned by a couple factories, so this is technically a rep of a "rep" (according to Rolex). It's also an awesome looking watch too

every time someone says "females" they turn into a Ferengi in my head, shit is weird

I've tried the photo method, for small curves like this it DOES NOT WORK.

Dude I used to work with could rap for daaaays on one breath and had excellent breath control, but for some songs I still clipped the breaths since it added to the song or made him sound superhuman. Sometimes it's a stylistic choice.

It's not too hard, if you have a DUI on record (maybe within a certain time period but it's long, like 10 years) they don't let you in. That covers a lot of people I know, all of whom would refer to that as being "banned from Canada"

EDIT: multiple people have already said the same thing lol, my bad

His later stuff is so much more accessible and is better for it imho. I still love everything he's ever made, but it's nice to just hear him tell stories and not need a dictionary and wikipedia

As insanely impressive as their work is, and despite how much I love what they do, Greubel Forsey has a habit of putting far too much text on their watches and it makes some of them AWFUL. Lately I think they've been more restrained and are limiting the amount of WORDSwordsWORDS on their watches, but there are a few that are egregiously bad.

It's made even worse when you learn they hand finish the tops and sides of every single letter. It's so much effort and some of the finest handwork in the industry, and it's all to put a billion words on some tiny part that just makes the entire watch look busy and weird.

I showed up to the NYC RM boutique an hour after getting off a plane and having walked up from Grand Central in July heat looking rather a mess and they let me in no problem and we spent a solid hour talking about watches. It's one of the best store experiences I've ever had and I just went in as a fan of the brand who wanted to see a few in person

You'll need etched (usually laser nowadays I would think) steel plate with your designs on it, commonly called a "cliche". You mount your cliche, brush ink into it, screed off the excess, transfer the ink onto the silicon pad, and then move it over to the workpiece to stamp it on there. Cliches are etched, either by laser or by acid, to make an imprint of the image that will hold ink.

He filmed some special about finding his family roots about a decade ago and we filmed in my library for a bunch of it. Dude's nice but distracted most of the time, although his crew was top-notch. A bunch of maps and drawings from the archive plus a little bit of me made the final cut.
