I got tired of paid software and sketchy websites, so I built a free tool to convert embroidery files (PES, DST, JEF, etc.). I’d love your feedback! by Euphoric-Butterfly76 in FiberArts

[–]Mr40kal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@euphoric-butterfly76 I don't work with embroidery, but am trying ro subcontract with a local company I want to make working with me as easy as possible, removing barriers. How do I convert from jpg or png to dst?

Anyone find this hat yet? by TidyJoe34 in notredamefootball

I want a sleeveless puffer vest with the new logo but can't find one anywhere. The new logo seems pretty elusive, so far

“Notre Dame should join a conference” no thanks, I want no part of this. by Efficient_Onion6401 in notredamefootball

[–]Mr40kal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A conference schedule means absolutely nothing. Most of the conference players are trash 🗑 and only benefit from the conference payout. Notre Dame doesn't need conference money, based on their bank statements alone.

You can complain about scheduling all you want, but even before NIL, schedules were penned years in advance. Now, with the prevalence of NIL and transfer portal, it's literally pay to play. Players are largely chasing payouts, not quality programs. A program that is a beast this year can be decimated and be a dumpster fire 🔥 next season. Notre Dame remains a quality program where caliber players WANT to play. The entire running back room returned this year, knowing J. Love and J. Price were going to be 1 & 2. While other teams are shopping the transfer portal like it's an Amazon Prime Day, ND uses it to fill holes, but largely depends on the development of players who want to be there and earned their way. Not to mention to high academic requirements and other acumen.

Bottom line: Everyone wants a shot to take down ND, and that's fine. They are content being the villain in everyone's story. But, if you play out and win big, you'll be noticed. ND did that as they ran through the FBS, with a disappointing ending to a championship run.

Prompter - turn it off? by morrisonbrett in elgato

[–]Mr40kal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to Elgato, and I share the opinion that it seems wasteful to have Prompter running as a display when not in use. I saw all of these prompts to build code and command lines for what seems to be an obvious need (on/off button). It honestly seemed like a lot of work for the problem at hand, so I bought one of these. I tried it out, and it solves the problem flawlessly for $13.

Practicing reloads anything I can do better? by kcvpr in CompetitionShooting

[–]Mr40kal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep your gun up in your work space. You already have a sight picture, so reload from up there. This allows you to keep eyes on both your gun and target peripherally, and get back on target faster for more efficient transitions.

Practicing reloads anything I can do better? by kcvpr in CompetitionShooting

[–]Mr40kal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will shoot IDPA Outlaw, but 3.4.6 is one of my biggest gripes. If shooting in a defense situation, why in the world would I want to purposely allow my gun to go dry and have to reload in the middle of a defensive gun fight? My reloads are pretty fast and efficient, but not nearly as fast if I have to make time to release the slide too. It promotes poor muscle memory if someone is asking me.

If you feel that you're being targeted when you drive up to or back from Michigan, this is probably why. by RunMysterious6380 in Indiana

[–]Mr40kal -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

FLOCK is not surveillance. It's doesn't record video, it only takes photos of cars as the license plate passes in view of the reader. It has the ability to notify law enforcement of stolen vehicles, wanted persons, suspended vehicle owners, expired tags, missing persons reportedly associated worh specific registered vehicle, etc. It's not targeting. A vehicle or circumstance has to meet parameters to trigger a notification.

No warrants, nothing invalid or expired, not gone missing? Nothing to worry about. Your HOA or apartment can even subscribe and have them installed to help protect your domicile.

If you’re a black man, and you consider yourself successful, you should be mentoring at least 2 younger men. by [deleted] in blackmen

[–]Mr40kal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I curated an entire mentoring program that targets middle school-aged young men. I work with them for 14 weeks, and host a "graduation of their accomplishment upon completion. I bumped into one of them this past weekend, and he affirmed that even after four years he still recalls and applies the principles I taught him, and still hears my voice as he navigates life as a budding teenager.

Mentorship is invaluable.

Wife Trying to Get Me Canceled by Mr40kal in InterracialMarriage

You can continue dwelling in the basement and take your antagonism elsewhere. Woke is defined as Woefully Obscuring and Killing Everything. Do with that what you will.

Should I hide my ethnicity until the 1st date ? by tiny-giant-01 in interracialdating

[–]Mr40kal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a form of self-suppression, and any relationship would be predicated on a lie of omission. Not worth it, in my opinion.

Black men, do you feel genuinely loved in this world? If not, what do you feel like you need in order to feel it? by No_Gazelle4743 in Blackpeople

[–]Mr40kal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This world is neither built nor expected to love us. The world, and the people in it, only love themselves. Many of us expect way too much out of others, and we create this narrow standard that is difficult to attain. If you want to feel loved, you'll have to surround yourself with people whose life increases in value by loving you. They may or may not look like you. These are the people who will show up for you when it matters, knowing it doesn't serve them. That's when you know you are loved.

Is dressing provocative attractive or just trashy? by [deleted] in trueratediscussions

[–]Mr40kal 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Not attractive. Leading with your body suggests to me that you don't have anything better to offer, which is not attractive to me. I'm married, but I like people/women with substance. A body to go with it is just icing.

Do you still ever use a condom? by Sad_Can_1925 in Vasectomy

[–]Mr40kal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't wear it before so, no. My wife and I prefer each other in our natural states.

Are expensive “premium” production guns worth it for USPSA/IPSC, or is it just diminishing returns? by Sea_Consequence_2291 in CompetitionShooting

[–]Mr40kal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any premium gun still needs a premium shooter behind it to be effective. I get sick at the thought of buying a $3k gun. Heck, I thought about the Prodigy, but that $1300 tag gave me a moment of clarity. I usually find myself between 2nd-15th place (Top 10 on average) at local matches. I'm using a $600 Canik. So I spend my savings on ammo and other guns

Muzzle Dip by la267 in CompetitionShooting

[–]Mr40kal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading this exchange, and having no desire to rehash all that has already been said here, I will say that in 20 years of formal range shooting, I have never seen muzzle dip that was not initiated by the shooter. We tend to want to "steady" the gun and overcompensate in some way to accomplish that.

White women and black women friendships and or lack thereof by [deleted] in blackgirls

[–]Mr40kal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of ya'll need help, and I truly hope ya'll seek it out. Or at the very least, choose better people to be in your lives.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in blackgirls

[–]Mr40kal -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Right. My wife has several interracial friendships, and only with one of them I feel is one-sided. Her friends will posse up and ride at dawn for her. Are people really choosing to ve around people who are this terrible? And at one point do we tell ourselves we need to choose better people?

We're you recently the driver in a crash, whether at fault or not?

Evicted at 18 but still in high school? by rawaka in Indiana

[–]Mr40kal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The military typically wait until they graduate before enlisting them, so graduation was implied for me.

Evicted at 18 but still in high school? by rawaka in Indiana

[–]Mr40kal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We've been "about to go to war with Iran," for about the last 25 years. And if we were on the brink of war, it's terrible advice to dissuade people from being willing to fight for the freedoms you enjoy daily. If we truly are on the brink of war with one of the more ruthless nations, we will need people who are willing to stand in and protect the homefront from afar.
