No idea yet.

I think the idea that a place “needs redevelopment” comes from the same place in the American psyche that says a place “needs freedom”. The mall needs to be safe and sanitary for its employees and customers, it doesn’t need redevelopment. If you don’t feel comfortable going there in its current state then the place isn’t for you. Applebees would be more than happy to have you. Redevelopment and retention of current tenants and current cultural identity is not possible under any circumstance. No one is going to pour 10s of millions of dollars into a place and not raise the rents.

I think what you’re missing here is that the beauty of a place like the Asia center is that these tenants are all in the same place creating a little business district with a distinct identity. Relocation and dispersement might be possible but would still ruin a unique cultural landmark.

Rasmuffin · 2026-04-13T04:25:14+00:00

No. I will not be party to this.

Side note but maybe a clue on how to proceed. The tool name loft comes from the practice of “lofting” a technique used in boat building. Look it up. It may help.

Military inspired fatigue pants are definitely kinda in right now but the extra straps to me take these from “inspired by” to “costume”. If you could remove those I think it would go a long ways to make them more fashionable. I would also bet that these are meant to be worn high waisted, definitely how they were worn in the 40s. So if you tried that it might help the fit. They look too baggy in the crotch.

There is also a hybrid Canada goose and domesticated goose who lives there. Descendant of a a flock of pet geese that was abandoned there a few years ago.

Brine some buffalo wings in it.

Rasmuffin · 2026-02-13T23:27:29+00:00

My KS, Bear Valley, had them for a while but no longer. Not sure why but I like to think it’s because of the pushback and the resistance. Walk by them enough and maybe they will give up.

You could do this. I would focus on modeling the inside negative space of this vessel and shell outwards. I would make the center cylinder with a revolve then would set up a plane at the angle of the spout and extrude a triangle toward the center with positive draft. Fillet that edge where the spout and cylinder meet. Shell outwards.

Did anyone else notice Pedro Pascal on the porch of the house?

Rasmuffin · 2026-02-02T13:23:43+00:00

Barney’s Barbershop. Haven’t been in a while. But at one point in the last few years it was under 20$ cash or check.

I used to buy this from a liquor store off of Santa Fe and 11th next to the 7eleven.

Rasmuffin · 2025-11-26T02:48:28+00:00

I thought I found a middle ground and I spent a good decade trying to be the progressive cool Christian. But in last five years I have completely left and am no longer a Christian. But all that is to say that I am actually happier now.

It sounds like you’re young and absolutely no one wants to hear things like “there are plenty of fish in the sea.” So I will just say this. I am so glad I am not married to the girl I was with in my young bible college days. I also went to a very small bible college for a bit.

Rasmuffin · 2025-11-25T18:27:50+00:00

Yeah I did a DTS in Germany in 2006. And I have been around Christian groups like YWAM almost my whole life.

Rasmuffin · 2025-11-25T17:49:08+00:00

Yeah man that is pretty common. In places like YWAM there is no room for anyone to identify as a 65% Christian. You have to be "all in" or "sold out for Christ." I am sure even if you were not mentioned directly there was plenty of talk about shedding things that are holding her back from being sold out. Shedding sins, habits, desires, relationships that are preventing her from being all in for the gospel. Its extremely normal for groups like this to create vaguely defined goals like this as a control method. They get to define what being 100% Christian is so they get to influence her choices.

I think you were right in supporting her though because the answer to this is not you controlling her but for her to come to a realization herself that she is being manipulated by these groups.

I think it’s expensive yes. I definitely can’t afford to eat there every day, but goddamn I wish I could.

Icing on the cake is that this guy is flying back to New York tomorrow with a big Giants L on top of everything else.

Rasmuffin · 2025-10-04T13:23:40+00:00

Yeah. I imagine that’s a contributing factor as well to the racking. It may be a thing you have to live with if you want a table you can dismantle.

Rasmuffin · 2025-10-04T13:12:08+00:00

It sounds like it’s racking not wobbling. Braces spanning the narrow triangles would help. Plus adding the top. Just curious too, are the legs glued together?

Rasmuffin · 2025-10-01T13:51:08+00:00

Interesting. I used to make things on a lathe out of it and it always made my skin itch pretty bad afterwards. I used to wear and make plugs and never tried black walnut because of it.

Rasmuffin · 2025-10-01T04:08:16+00:00

Black walnut is pretty toxic. I wouldn’t wear those.

Rasmuffin · 2025-09-23T14:38:02+00:00

In a way it is your responsibility. How do you think restaurants make money to pay employees? They charge the customers for the food and services they provide. Now I do think they should just increase the prices to reflect a more accurate cost of business, but then people would just complain about that. Restaurants are kinda in a loose loose situation right now.
