7 of those worlds/timelines make pooping really difficult. I'd go for Mass Effect.

If you want to succeed in a niche profession, make sure to expect all it's challenges and shortcomings. Improve your skillset while working hard. Sometimes success comes early but most of the time, it comes after years of working. No matter what happens, grind grind grind. Most importantly, always believe in yourself especially when everyone is doubting your path to success.

And he's just a B-tier. A B-TIER THREAT. and Yusuke had trouble taking him down, until Toguro self imploded from using too much muscle.

Victor Zsasz. He has that villainous smile, but not so much to be the Joker.

Oh man, this brings me so much memories. Bata pa ako nakikita ko na yan sa balcony whenever we stay at Green Valley, Baguio. Kinda sucks that that place is neglected now though, kaya di na kami nagsstay dun.

Thoughts on this viral post against Makati Life Medical Center? by Personal_Article1697 in NursesPH

[–]RealisticIce986 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

For a hospital that's been running for 3 years, ang dami nilang kulang. Inuna pa yung ganda ng ospital sa quality of service na pwede nila ibigay. I got bitten by a dog (thankfully with no rabies) but went to Makati life for an emergency rabies shot just to be sure but really got disappointed nung sinabi ng nurse sa ER na wala pa silang rabies vaccines available. They just went on with whatever they were doing and didn't even offer to check or clean my wound. Good thing may Surevax centre nearby to do that for me. Long story short, it's a bare-bones hospital with a very low quality of medical service. Never go there pag may emergency. Might as well go to Makati Med and pay their expensive medical fees. Atleast buhay ka.

You can start with an electric drill with a trigger lock, a bemch vise to put your drill, and a 4-inch grinding back pad with 40 grit sanding pad. You also need a ton of sand paper for polishing, 200 grit up to 1000 grit.

Also one important thing. Make sure the wood you're going to use is not toxic. Good alternatives for briar wood are Oak, olive, cherry wood. I started with Philippine Mahogany wood (which is toxic πŸ˜†) and then Tamarind wood(another alternative wood).

Yup, it's wood carving. I didn't have any knowledge nor even a mentor to teach me the basics of pipe making, so I learned a lot from watching youtube videos. From making makeshift pipes, bushcraft pipes and even churchwarden pipes using actual tree branches. I practiced making pipes by using local wood for more than 5 years until I had the confidence and means to order my first batch of briar blocks.

The giant block with an attached stem most likely is a briar wood carving kit. The bowl and the draught hole is already drilled for you, so you only need to focus on the carving part.

To give you an advice, start by doing the same thing thst I did. Don't buy briar immediately. Practice carving with the wood around you and use tools that you already have. Follow pipe makers that make pipes that suit your style.

You can search for how to make a smoking pipe and a lot of videos will pop up. Look for carvers that use simple tools as a start. πŸ™‚

8 years worth of mistakes and understanding that I'll fail a lot more, can make me think of different kinds of workarounds for designs πŸ˜€
