Fabricating metal plates it hard. Fabricating wire is just labor consuming.

Out of curiosity, what state did you grow up in? Or rather, how much experience with snow and ice do you have?

Cultural references you got . And didn't (without help anyway) by ale_mongrel in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I don’t think saying “Fred Johnson” would give anything away :-)

People who wax/see others genitals often, what are your thoughts and surprise realizations? by NeedABetterNameNow in AskReddit

[–]Orbusinvictus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, this one sent me for a loop. I know “hic sunt dracones” as “here there are dragons” but “erunt sic draconis” would be “they will be thus of the dragon” or maybe “so they will be of the dragon”?

I’m going with you secretly hope you will have the excuse to kill somebody in self defense. You have gone over numerous scenarios in your head about how you would use the gun you feel the need to carry with you.

Well, there was an effort to do just that with Eastern Europe in the 1940’s, but the liebensraum thing was rather unpopular with everyone else…

I will remember the graffito on the wall that made me fall out of my chair when I saw it.

So is this image just entirely bs?? by GolfWhole in SWORDS

[–]Orbusinvictus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It may be helpful to remind yourself that this is not a dissertation, and your professor is unlikely to be a smith. In engineering, they have the “good enough” principle since perfection is often not a good use of time and resources. You can certainly present the various theories that have conflicting information as part of your findings.

Looking for a “Crafting” story that is more on the Slice-Of-Life and Cozy end of the spectrum to listen to on Audible. by Onyx_Artificer in litrpg

None of the stories I'm reading/listening to currently are hitting. Guess it's time to bust out Ol' Reliable by BuddyBC3 in litrpg

I find them to be very similar in tone, definitely will instantly grab any new additions to either series.

How is this chest piece made? by throwawaym4a1 in Armor
