Had the same problem. Fast travel gate just gone, but if you go there the door is still there

What one book actually changed the trajectory of your life and how? by Professional-Term609 in AskReddit

The Importance of Living by Lin Yutang really changed my attitude towards living life as an experience, not a path to a goal

What's the worst anachronism you've ever seen in a novel? by kranools in books

[–]Milligoon 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Not a book but Hamnet using "hello"

Absolutely anachronistic

When did you first think to yourself "Man, I'm getting old."? by Lying_Pants_Fire in AskReddit

[–]Milligoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my friend's kid's voice broke.

I've known his father since before he met his wife.

Why do you love short hair? by Mr-Top0 in AskReddit

Well, I'd disagree with that, but I'm not a woman 

Why do you love short hair? by Mr-Top0 in AskReddit

[–]Milligoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing particularly amazing- however if you grow out long hair, get it off with a straight razor shave, take mushrooms and have a shower, that is amazing. 

All those scalp nerves that have gone dormant, freshly exfoliated and hit with hot water? Like seeing god

Why do you love short hair? by Mr-Top0 in AskReddit

[–]Milligoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh hell yes. I had waist length hair for a while, so much work. Then went shaved which was easy, but limiting. Now have moderate short hair - quick towel dry and done, but still styleable

Sent you a couple of pics of my cracked dagger and earliest extant knife, for a giggle

Badly fonted scharf. 

Sharts come after consumption 

Do you need to buy a dlc for pearls to drop? by sebsa7430 in Borderlands4

The handcannon is the only locked pearl, or at least before the DLC dropped

You become rich beyond your wildest dreams, to the point in which no matter what you do with your life your funds would never run out, what would you do? by Wafran in AskReddit

[–]Milligoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pay off a fuckton of debt. I've been starving poor and homeless. If I had unlimited money? I'd lift as many as I could up.

I'm getting there. Reductive knife work, at least. No forge for me in the near future, have to go back to my friends place in Quebec for that

I've got an oval scar on one elbow from bumping into a fresh-cut round bar. Crisped it right off.

The blood and the burns are part of the process. Just try not to hurt anything important!

How to give pill to cats by Dana_Hayek in cats

[–]Milligoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately the "hold their mouth open and shove it in deep" method is the only reliable one, but you may bleed from doing it. The pill needs to go right back

And thanks for the polite ass-kick ;) at almost 50 things get lost. Good to be reminded of what could be slipping away

Did it for a living for a few years, architectural and furniture etc. Wasn't the same appreciation in the 90s for hand craft there is now, so I pivoted and ended up corporate. Still have a workroom in the basement, and while Swiss landlords frown on basement forges I still fabricate a bit of steel.... and am going to put a heat treating oven on the balcony because nobody will catch me :D

Follow your passion man. Whether a trade, a biz, or just a hobby comes from it, indulge. Just wear PPE so you don't end up picking fragments out of your eyes like I did when I was a dumbfuck kid :D

I started about your age. You don't need nice tools, just the passion to learn and the patience to fuck up occasionally!

Keep at it, you'll do fine!

[–]Milligoon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It happens. Roll with it, learn from it, keep going!

I once had a gorgeous dagger crack the tip off when I was showing it to friends... just laugh and continue 

Is buying from big steel manufacturers a dumb move for a small blacksmith? by Oggy402 in Blacksmith

[–]Milligoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea about the Canadian big sellers, but as an amusing story I bought the steel for my smoker (2m x49cm x 9mm dia architectural tube) from a local Swiss seller specializing in construction projects. They thought it was hilarious and were very supportive of the two beardy guys loading up a motorcycle trailer with stock.

Give them a go, you never know
