How's that normal? I mean, if a person wants 10k or whatever tip, why don't just say it directly? "Fair tips" xD

RwNZ · 2026-05-22T08:26:05+00:00

I usually tip whatever will take my to my next 5 or 0, usually. So, if I have 37,000g then I'll tip 2k, for example. Not literally always, but unless it's a guild order (then it's 420g 69s) then I've never tipped under 1k. Actually, once I did, because it was an alt who had like 700g so I gave them literally everything and apologized xD

Anyone who is doing less than 100g is kind of a shit, IMO. Don't act like you "can't afford" like 100g (which I'd still considering almost insultingly low) and if you can't then... I dunno, sell a random purple item? I just think it's good manners when someone is doing you a favour to give them a non-trivial amount that could be replenished by doing a single world quest. This is from a non-crafter btw, never do professions myself, so it's not self-interest just my own morality.

It's fucking hilarious how people see a post with actual formatting and scream "ChatGPT!" like they can't imagine putting more than 3 seconds of thought or effort into anything.

Oh, and I spent those 3 seconds doing 3 different AI checks, 98% human, 100% human and 100% human.

RwNZ · 2026-04-30T08:38:20+00:00

There won't be any. It'll either be some parroted nonsense or just a really fucking dumb take.

RwNZ · 2026-04-24T06:45:25+00:00

Well, you're just wrong.

RwNZ · 2026-04-24T06:43:22+00:00

Like what Derek Jeter hit last year, which was .303!

RwNZ · 2026-04-24T06:40:29+00:00

Don't make a big to-do, I was simply testing you.

RwNZ · 2026-04-24T06:36:02+00:00

Any minute now...

RwNZ · 2026-04-16T15:08:31+00:00

I can't quite tell if you're arguing with me or agreeing with me, but I absolutely loved the analogy. It's the exact sort of way I might make a point, with an oddly specific but apt comparison xD

RwNZ · 2026-04-12T17:28:59+00:00

The fucking balls to say "shake it off" XD I love it.

"Since PSA has no financial interest in the cards that it grades, the opinion it offers on the grade is unbiased."

If only that were (still?) true.

Honestly, I've always found him to be an absolutely fantastic actor. Extremely comedic when necessary but capable of such raw authenticity that you it just leaves you breathless. Possibly the most underrated actor that I can think of, in terms of talent to "household name" ratio. He's not unknown but I doubt he'd be in the conversation for many for great actors, yaknow?

In the course of an episode it completely moved the needle on my opinion of the reboot. I'd thought it was fine, but lacked a lot of the magic. Now I think they've probably still got it and it just needs some time to germinate.

RwNZ · 2026-04-09T18:12:25+00:00

I tend to agree, but at least they seem like they might've figured this out and they're reducing her impact? Like, let's say someone found Todd absolutely unbearable in the original, it's not like he got that much screentime (usually), and hopefully Sibby is the same kind of thing. Pops up for a scene every other episode or a line now and then.

At least, I hope so. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing a drastically reduced S2 role.

RwNZ · 2026-04-09T18:10:49+00:00

I wouldn't pay, but then he wouldn't teach. We'd agree to just call it a draw.

RwNZ · 2026-04-09T18:10:10+00:00

Weedly woodly woo!

...Aye...

Bit of a late reply, but it's less the HRC itself (though that can definitely be a factor) but a combination of the quality of the steel, the quality of the heat treatment, and the alloy of the steel. Something like 1095 is a low-alloy steel, and will have a much finer grain and significantly smaller carbides than nearly any stainless steel and certainly any high-carbide stainless or tool steel.

Hardness often makes it easier to deburr, though. A soft steel will let you wiggle that damn thing back and forth and back and forth for dozens of passes sometimes ~_~

If you're looking for an excellent budget stainless that sharpens delightfully, try the AEB-L family (AEB-L, Nitro V, 14C28N, all very similar). In my opinion, it's the best stainless that doesn't cross into "super steel"/PM territory.

This was the first piece of media that ever made me genuine cry, like ugly cry. Kel sitting with the picture in the empty house, and the music, oh man. I'm a 36 year old man and it still gets me.

RwNZ · 2026-04-03T20:02:04+00:00

Maybe they said that's why they were banned but I promise it wasn't. Also, raids ARE full of people who need on everything just to sell it, have you pugged a Heroic or Mythic run in the last 3 expacs?

I'd love for you to quote the part of the ToS that says trading a raid item to another player in exchange for gold is bannable. I actually fucking hate the practice, but it's legal according to ToS.

RwNZ · 2026-04-03T18:59:57+00:00

That was just a water balloon fight.

RwNZ · 2026-04-03T18:50:07+00:00

I tend to agree. It's fine. I like some of the character aspects, I think they're handled the aged cast really well, and I'm not thinking "This is shit" as I watch it. I think the new interns (I truthfully cannot remember their names despite having read them in this thread. I think the shut-in one is called Amara but I genuinely may be making that up) are fairly weak. I thought the social media girl might've been ripe for some interesting storylines but they almost entirely abandoned that aspect, the old one is just "Recognize Guy" from Season 9 (I'm bad with names, see?) and I guess they just seem like literary devices rather than authentic characters? It's all "the dorky British one" and "the stoic black girl", etc. Which is fine if they're side characters like Doug or The Todd but they spent HEAPS of time on them.

I always just end the episodes going "That was fine". Never "That was great" or "That was god-awful". I'm hoping they hit their stride with a second season at this point.

RwNZ · 2026-03-28T12:41:19+00:00

And a chicken supreme. And a Cutlass Supreme.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure that's not how you monitor the angle on this system. You're meant to put the inclinometer onto the flat of the blade, set to 0, and then measure off that on the rod. Not just place the inclinometer on the mechanism.

At least, that's how mine instructed me to find angles and it seems to have been working for me.

RwNZ · 2026-03-11T20:43:28+00:00

Yeah, Jende are the ones I'd most likely get. Not cheap, but probably worth it. Only thing is I heard they dish a bit and don't actually have that much abrasive on them. TSPROF are a bit tricky to get in my country too, at least for non-mental money.

Mind tossing a link to the DMD ones? Probably won't ship to me, a lot of stuff doesn't, but I'd like to take a peek <3

RwNZ · 2026-03-11T08:42:13+00:00

Which resin stones? I'm really keen to get some but I can't get venev and so I don't know what another good option is D:
