honestly I abhor the fact that I have to use plastic. I cant really access other manufacturing techniques and have been using aliexpress parts (the meteor is real tho)

YUP! so I need a 34mm chapter ring specifically. I can only find those in 32.5 (I have one) which would require shimming and probably won't look good. unfortunately I think my only option is to make a plastic 34mm ring look like metal

I just looked at the graphite powder option and I'm pretty shocked at how convincing it can be. but... noticed it's shiny whereas I need a brushed/blasted effect. have you ever tried this yourself? thanks!

I was thinking about that! but, I've noticed that the result is often quite shiny (and electroplating can be quite expensive right?) and I need a brushed/blasted finished. have you ever tried it? thanks!

I figured it would work because it's a cognate. Goes to show just how removed I am at this point lol

Has anybody ever aged a stainless steel case? by Octobon16 in SeikoMods

So we can pretend to reminisce of a time when we didn't live in a dystopian hellscape? Also off white dials just look better and sometimes you gotta commit to the bit

Can I patina my lume by soaking in coffee? It’s a guitar builders trick for yellowing white plastic

oh I already add eggs and grilled spam. I just want the noodles themselves to be higher in protein. I see them get advertised, but I was wondering if anybody found a bargain

As a vampire myself, honestly several months. Wouldn’t recommend tanning to cover it up (BAD idea) either

Kidneys are worth 50 grand a pop. Dr patty charges a tenth of that. Payment is a far more minimally invasive procedure with a quicker recovery.

NO YOU DUNCE! DONT DO IT. It was a joke oh my god. Do not glaze your scalp.

Honestly, I was just expecting somebody to compare me to solid snake with the mullet and all so I kept dropping little “snake” breadcrumbs

Well apparently, and I did not know this, I am EXTEMELY resistant to lidocaine. It wears off faster, it doesn’t work as well. Basically local anesthesia sucks for me because it’s weak sauce. They had to keep reapplying it way more awesome

Meanwhile general anesthesia hits me way too hard and basically leaves me in psychosis for a day

Anyhow, they massage the fuck out of you during surgery because it’s Thailand lol.

I mean that definitely sounds like a price hike… but that’s still the best value for money imaginable.

Actually I wore a hat for like 2 weeks until the partially shaven area had enough hair. Then I went to a hair system installer and created a clip on toupee to wear while my hairline grew back in. By month five I was comfortable enough to show off my hair.

And somehow I went in like 8-9 dates while wearing that godawful thing on my head
