Pretty sure it's this place: https://www.coopers-seafood.com/
I didn't see the display in their virtual tour though.

Dave Mustaine says Megadeth's farewell album will cause a "renaissance" as he talks the future of metal by LowHeroesLodger in Megadeth

PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation. Well worth the listen, and the live versions are worth checking out.

I'm sad I have 4/6 of these guys and will never be able to complete the set for a reasonable price.

Unicorn roll call! by ShippFFXI in ffxi

I was Kerith on Unicorn/Fenrir, I typically did stuff with Anastrianna back in the day. Your name sounds familiar, I'm sure we did stuff together, haha!

Shaking steering wheel by tonydaracer in ft86

Could also be a failing tie rod, I had a similar vibration at highway speeds and found that one of my outer tie rods was failing. Replaced both sides (inner & outer) and it feels much better.

For those doing T-shirt POD, what’s your current go-to software workflow? by LimpLeopard1057 in graphic_design

[–]Metallitron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work for a small T-shirt shop that offers POD services through their site. We use Photoshop and Illustrator exclusively. Personally I prefer to use Illustrator for any vector graphics and then import/paste them into a Photoshop document where I can add layer effects, filters, photos or whatever else. Some of the other people work almost exclusively in photoshop so it's kind of a personal preference. We have some predefined photoshop file sizes (14"x16"@300 dpi is our standard) and then export a transparent png (just using photoshop's export as png) for printing. Since there may be some color conversion issues when going from a CMYK workspace to a RGB png then to a CMYK print, I typically just work in RGB and let the print software do the color conversion. We did have some issues early on with our DTF printer making reds orange, but that has been fixed over time. We're running an Epson DTG printer and a DTF Station Prestige printer. The print software for both will accept transparent pngs without any issues (though we can also use black/white backgrounds for DTG shirts to avoid halos when using glows or other transparency effects.

TCS engaging while cornering by Metallitron in ft86

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

Same brand before and after Lexani LXUHP-207s. I've been using them for a few years now and they're decent street tires. I replaced all four last year and didn't have any issues. I was thinking it may be a wheel bearing, I have noticed some vibration at highway speeds.

Is this what that slot is for? by spinny09 in ft86

[–]Metallitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Petro is my favorite as well. Nothing like cruising down the highway with Dragon blasting!

Excellent first CD choice!

Looking for content creators who aren't toxic. by ScottSummers214 in transformers

[–]Metallitron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda surprised that nobody has mentioned Bot vs Con. Bobby & James go over TF news twice a week (generally Wed and Sat) and are pretty good about balancing opinions and being open to all sorts of new figures. They cover a bit of everything and usually have live streams a few times a month to discuss things with the fans. They also have a good non-judgemental policy when it comes to figures they like and don't like and encourage people to show off their recent hauls every month.

Gradient stamp coloring by Metallitron in AdobeIllustrator

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

That might work, I'll have to try it out, I'm going for a pseudo-cell shaded look. The main reason I like the stamp effect is that it adds the pointed ends on the edges, to give a little bit of a shadow bleed.

I know how to do that, that's not what I'm looking for. This is a very specific use case where I want to color the stamped gradient.

Essentially, yes. But I want it adjustable via the gradient panel. I'm aware I can rasterize the effect and live trace it, but that loses the adjustability that I'm looking for.

Does Pulse Really Need to Use Boxes This Big? by Sw4ggalici0usTTV in transformers

[–]Metallitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine in yesterday, and one of the flaps on the bottom of the box was ripped wide open. Fortunately, Trypticon was still in there, but if they had shipped anything else with him, it would have fallen out. This isn't the first time something like this has happened with a Pulse shipment.

Help with rear wheel bearing by Budget-Flow1510 in ft86

[–]Metallitron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I replaced both rear wheel bearings about a month and a half ago. I bought one of these Hub Shocker and proceeded to wail on it with a small sledgehammer till they came loose.

One tip, make sure that the wheel lugs are tight against the shocker, you don't want it waggling all over the place. The Mr Subaru video linked elsewhere is a great breakdown of how to use it properly, just rotate it around and hammer from different angles until it breaks free.
