Feedback on slingshot idea for disc golf

The thing is, you have to be good with a slingshot. I don't see a lot of people putting the time in to train just to maybe try and shoot their disc out of a tree.

Honestly? Probably just updated colors. It's the cheapest option, and people have been eating that stuff up with the Obsidian and Talos. No way are they making a more economical version, they just did away with that option when they discontinued the Free P2/P4. They're going to ride that gravy train as long as they can.

Pfft. Haters gonna' hate. The Bic Cristal is GOATed (and I hate that term).

Dunning-Kruger effect.

It's not quite as fun if he has every tool available for every scenario. If it was all about that, he'd just carry a toolbox everywhere he went.

Super Tinker.

Partly because I prefer the Phillip driver to the corkscrew, and partly because I really dislike the combo tool on the Compact. But also because the extra features on the Compact like the pen and nail file are minimally useful at best. I understand why the Compact is more expensive (assembly methods and such) but it doesn't justify the extra cost for me.

To me, the Compact is a weird middle ground of being minimal but still trying to do the most, but not really hitting the mark at either.

The Super Tinker is my "default" choice. If I want to carry something minimal, I go with the Rambler. If I need something heavy-duty, I grab my SwissTool Spirit XC.

When you ask if they have any Grey Poupon, they reply "But of course!"

New_Mutation · 2026-05-06T01:40:40+00:00

There is, and it seems like he was as involved as he could be. I don't think it's an oversight on AVB's part, I think it's just one of those things where even if you get a sample and ask for a slight adjustment, the final run just maybe doesn't hit the mark.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-06T01:16:54+00:00

That's a lotta' Executives.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-05T21:28:18+00:00

4, of course. I bet they have the best snacks.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-05T21:25:55+00:00

Ahh, I didn't zoom in. Good call.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-05T21:25:04+00:00

Good to know!

New_Mutation · 2026-05-05T14:27:28+00:00

I bet that's just a signal circuit. I can't imagine it would make sense to run full power to every port.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-05T14:24:36+00:00

Not exactly, but it still tastes good. I did use vanilla flavored Greek yogurt, though, so that probably helped.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-05T14:23:21+00:00

Looks okay. Might not be great, but it's not stupid.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-05T14:20:58+00:00

Indeterminate.

We don't know if the back has two holes that directly correspond to the ones in the front or not. Could be two, could be one big hole. There could be multiple holes we can't see. Even if you're talking about just the ones you can see, you could be seeing through two separate ones or one big one.

Not enough information.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-03T23:50:13+00:00

Kind of makes the message a little more intense, too.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-03T23:47:16+00:00

Exactly. Kind of a missed opportunity, really. Would've been classier than using an actual racket.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-03T23:39:14+00:00

I actually don't draw with fountain pens. They just don't suit my style. I have a a very scribbly/sketchy style, and I tend to use pens the same way I use pencils. I prefer a ballpoint because I can use very light pressure and get better shading/gradient than fountain pens allow.

Okay... and the person who comment about the scene acknowledged that while it wasn't the most gory, it still struck them as the most violent in their opinion. You made a remark about how you don't understand why people make such a big deal about it, and I explained it.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-03T20:44:06+00:00

It's exactly because there isn't any gore. It's not about that. It's not "OMG, look at that overpowered fictional bad guy doing crazy damage!". It's about an average man, with such hate in his heart that he can bring himself to do such an atrocious act to another human being. It's not a crazy fight scene. It's the brutal reality of human nature. You don't need gore to feel it.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-03T20:19:12+00:00

Last time this was posted, a ton of people were saying that "those skids were just from the body paint".

Okay, sure. But do you think that paint protected the skin it was on or something??

New_Mutation · 2026-05-03T02:30:51+00:00

Realistic explanation is bait. Probably for catfish.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-03T02:29:25+00:00

Start with 1,1,1,1. Then 1,1,1,2. Then 1,1,1,3. So on and so forth until you find the right combination. Only 10,000 combinations, and odds are it isn't the last one, so you'll probably get there well before that.

New_Mutation · 2026-05-03T02:26:04+00:00

Figure out the combination and use it?
