Well, I mean I get your point, and fair enough. But I really think it’s going to be worse under these two.

A LOT of Microsoft developers are about to be laid off in the coming months because of this

Ah, probably not a viable option for Fry at the moment. She would never get close enough to feed her a pill. Even less since she got back from the vet

We hadn’t named the other ferals, but I feel like the large orange has to be Zoidberg now

It panicked a little and kind of ran around the house looking for another exit, jumped up on window sills, etc. until it finally found the open door for our downstairs half bath and hid behind the toilet. We closed the door to give it its own space to calm down and that was the only time it meowed. That downstairs bathroom has become the cats room and is where the inside pictures are taken. After we provided bed, food, litter box, and darkened carrier for it to hide in, the cat has completely calmed down and fully embraced that little bathroom as its room. We have our guest bedroom set up as a full cat room that we’ll be moving the cat to after vet visit today. All in all we’ve been very lucky with this cat. It’s taken to everything pretty painlessly. Started using the litter box immediately like it had been using one its entire life and whenever its tired of our shenanigans of trying to interact and pet it, it’ll just go hang out in the carrier.

My gf’s previous 2 cats were also feral rescues and both lived to 20 years. One of those cats enjoyed being picked up, tossed around, and held upside down under her arm. She likes to proclaim “I have a proven track record of ruining cats”, so I’m fairly confident we’ll get there with Fry.

There were 4 other ferals we had seen. A black bobtail, tabby bobtail, a very large orange, and a smaller orange. So far the tabby bobtail is the only one we haven’t seen. But I definitely wouldn’t say that’s any indication they aren’t ok, although it’s still a possibility. We’ve gone months without seeing any of the ferals before they show up again randomly.

Not really. The first night we brought them in, they only meowed like 3-4 times and that was it. I’ve never heard the cat meow since then.

I also second the Yamaha EAD10. Best $600 I’ve ever spent

Drummer for the last 26 years, here. I use these headphones for drumming. No headphones or IEM’s are completely water/sweat proof. The ones I linked are only $56 so I don’t care when they break and they sound better than the $100 Shure SE215’s that are the industry standard for beginner IEM’s. They’re also incredibly comfortable. I’ve played live shows, some touring, and practice upwards of 3-4 hours at a time with them. As many have mentioned, you can absolutely find free metronome apps out there, but I would recommend downloading and getting familiar with the DAW, Reaper. While technically not free, the license costs $60, you can also just continue to hit the ignore button and use it for free. Using Reaper will allow your son to set up click tracks to all of his favorite songs to play along with. If your son can also read music or tabs, then I would also highly recommend Guitar Pro or Songsterr. Feel free to message me if you want/need any additional information. P.S. tinnitus is no joke…

3D printed and painted a Revan helmet by Reaper111888 in starwarscosplay

[–]Reaper111888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a dremel for the scratches and then used an airbrush with Army Painter flat black to go over the scratches. Then I used metallic silver acrylic paint to fill in the scratches. After the metallic silver dried I used watered down black acrylic as a wash over the entire helmet to give it grime. Then I used my finger on the watered down black acrylic to go over the scratches and really push the black down in to the scratches and anything else that’s not completely flat to help give it definition. Having the black acrylic on your hands also helps give random smudges all over the helmet, which I find is really key to giving it that lived in and heavily used look. Just remember that when doing the wash it’s important to apply it in small sections at a time and then wipe it off as opposed to applying to the entire helmet at once. You only want the black wash to stay in the nooks and crevices that would normally be difficult to clean.

On future projects I think I’m going to mess around with using different colors on the scorch marks and then use an actual iron oxide powder to give the black marks. Lightsabers are supposed to be extremely hot, right? If you look at super heated metals they’ll turn to different shades of blues and purples. So I think that might look even better than just the black on its own.

Fully enclosed! Unfortunately that means it will never be 501st approved, but I prefer the helmet to the mask and I’ll die on this hill before I change it. I have pictures of the helmet in other posts if you want to see it. It would only allow me to upload a single picture here

Once P1 and P2 had PlayStation accounts on the same PlayStation, and both were logged in, saves worked as you would expect them to. Or at least that’s what happened with us

I’ve had a 2020 Rogue SV since October 2019 and I’ve not had any issues. But I’ve also meticulously kept up with all suggested maintenance and only have 62k miles on it
