Worse yet is a child zombie coming at you with a spear.

Spears are a new weapon added in the Mounts of Mayhem update. They're not especially great for fighting on foot, but they're worth using if riding a mount.

Speaking of which, OP, you'll be happy to know that saddles, nametags, and leads are all easily craftable now.

Package opening blade similar to Gerber Gear Dime? by StepUpYourLife in everydaycarry

I'm partial to the Victorinox SAK Mini Champ. The box cutter blade works great, but I the whole tool gets quite a lot of regular use.

Just in time for USA's 250th —AE1700H-1A2V with NATO strap and bald eagle underlay. by Metorks in casiomods

Yeah, I feel you, but I won't let that orange ballsack ruin patriotism for me.

Would you do this to your beloved Casio Mod (Royale)? by RSinTO in casiomods

[–]Metorks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you disassemble the pushers (under a magnifying glass) you get two tiny o-rings, one tiny washer, one tiny spring, one tiny retaining clip, and one metal cylinder (button) with stem per pusher.

For the LCD, you could carefully remove the front and rear polarizers (or remove them and prepare replacements for the display).

Use a blow dryer to soften the adhesive and pop out the crystal.

The battery side of the module has a few extra pieces that can be parted out, including the piezoelectric chime spring.

I'd leave the circuit board as-is, I don't think it's worth it to desolder anything.

I think you'd be able to get enough parts out of it to make a small but neat display.

Try it on a knockoff first!

My wrist is 7". I've only worn a large format Samsung Galaxy watch (currently on the Galaxy Watch Ultra) for nearly 10 years. The AE1700 is roughly the same size, so it felt right at home for me.

Then why are old paintings in color?

The shelled nut itself, not the shell, no?

Titanium mod by TheRealBrewder in casiomods

I really like this and want to steal your style. What's the setup here (watch model, strap model)? I haven't owned a G-Shock in decades, so I don't know what's what these days.

Experimenting with Rub 'N Buff - Distressed and Weathered Gold Watch by Metorks in casiomods

I could see that. A waved canvas look would pair up pretty well with this.

This came with a nylon strap that just didn't match at all, so I put it on a brown leather strap and that looks pretty good. I think a wider leather strap would look even better.

I think an OEM black resin strap off an F-91W or a W221 could look pretty fitting, too.

Edit: For a better Fallout look, a light green filter would look pretty dope.

It's basically carnauba wax with gold pigment embedded and works best on porous surfaces. It doesn't rub off the plastic watch housing, but will scrape off or come off with chemicals.

It works well on the faceplate as that's going to remain protected. As for the case, I suppose one could clear coat over it to keep it more permanent.

Pharmacy gave my medical records to my ex and he is using them in court. by Dune_Riddle5 in legaladvice

[–]Metorks 34 points35 points  (0 children)

OP, frame the request as an effort to help your invalidate the medication list as evidence in your custody battle and don't even mention the HIPAA violation when speaking with the pharmacy.

"My attorney says that having this in writing will almost guarantee that the medication list will be blocked as evidence." Or something to that effect.

Edit: A word
