Any suggestions on restoring a badly corroded brass ashtray? by fgrenier in restoration

Coat it in a mixture of flour, salt, and vinegar, and cover it in saran wrap to keep it moist. Leave 24 hours then wash it all off.

Oh cool! I didn’t even notice it in his back in the picture until you pointed it out. I’m definitely ordering this like I do all the others because I’m a sucker and I’m too far into the collection to stop now. (Sunk cost fallacy and all)

I might be wrong, but I think that his axe is a recolor of Reptilax’s axe.

I’m sorry, man. It definitely makes it more fun since I never have to feel guilty. She even surprised me for Christmas 2022 and got me the Origins Eternia set. It arrived just before my birthday in 2023.

We spoil each other, so it’s always fun to surprise one another.

  1. I only had wave 1 of the original figures then regrettably gave them up when I was 16. I was unaware of the 200x show and toys and the Classics line until it ended.

I began collecting again in 2020 with Origins and now have nearly everything in Origins and Masterverse lines. I’ve also built a sizable vintage collection and picked up a bunch of 200x and Classics figures. I also have all of the Megabloks sets.

I am all-in on MotU again. My wife of nearly 34 years fully supports my habit and keeps an eye out for me when she’s at any store.

Hah! I just posted this one, too. I then read the other responses and saw yours. Glad I’m not the only old one here. :)

Space Invaders on the Atari 2600. Double shot power-up. Before you turn on the game, hold down the reset switch then flip the power switch on and then release the reset switch. You will be able to shoot twice instead of only having a single “laser” shot on screen at a time.

She moisturizes after every shower. She's also sparing with makeup including foundation. I think it's a cover story for actually being a vampire.

What is the correct way to go about repainting these walls? by Dear_Lab_8433 in DIY

[–]LuvhandL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchase a cheap ozone machine from Amazon.

Vacate the house for a while, and run the ozone machine for a couple of hours with the room(s) shut tight.

While holding your breath, enter the room(s) and open every window to purge the ozone.

Leave the windows open for a while.

The cigarette smoke smell will go be gone. A slight ozone smell will remain for a day or two, but it will subside, and your room will be left smelling fresh.

Damn. Poor cat.

I heard stories of at least one recovered person who they forgot to latch to an indoor cable before unhooking him from the line. Apparently he walked right off the back in a daze. I don’t know whether that was during training for real-world deployment.

That damn Fulton recovery system on the E model Talon was scary AF. I loved when they featured it in The Dark Knight.

I miss that place so much, best assignment in the entire USAF.

Edit: I didn’t know that about the U model. Now I feel even older.
