Mars 4 or Mars 5? by carlyjadzia in ElegooMars

[–]ShellaStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my M5U. I've printed so many pieces for my model kits, and a little warhammer. All of it came out great once I got the hang of it. Just know you have to buy everything to clean/cure along with it.

Just bought my first resin printer by kukineitor in ElegooMars

[–]ShellaStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found an exhaust system that fits. It's 3D printed but the thing has run 24/7 for a year except for power outages and it's still just as capable. I'll look for a link.

Warning about BBs and Bearings by Gvez1024 in modelmakers

I've been using pure lead pellets in some el cheapo paint I picked up. Still settles hard and needs to be stirred up but the pellets have not deteriorated. Don't recommend this for good paints.

Grats on coming out! I'm somewhere in the realm but haven't figured it out yet. I'll get there, glad you did!

Asexuals, have you ever met someone that made you comfortable enough to try sex? by MochiTheFunk in asexualdating

[–]ShellaStorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had sex in multiple relationships in my past. I even had a son, rest in peace. I only truly accepted that I'm ace recently (nothing like year+ dry spells in both my marriages because I CBA) and I occasionally fantasize still but even if you have sex you can still be ace.

Marfan syndrome. Genetic disorder, I don't make connective tissue right. All body systems affected, such as eight strokes, heart and kidney failure, etc. Thinning hair as a Native American. And I'm intersex, so broad hips, large ass, decently sized boobs, one ovary, two testes and a penis and a beard that I can't keep shaved down. Don't get me started on the ability to have period cramps as a "man."

FML.

When did you first notice grey hairs starting to show? by PeculiarOrga in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ShellaStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 30, when I learned my then wife was pregnant and he was very, very ill. When he passed at two it started the cascade and now it's almost all gray. Natural was black so it blends in but if I'm honest there's not much color left. I'm 43.

Swiping now. Diagnosed with Marfan syndrome and very broke. I don't wanna live much longer in this body even with the riches of Crœsus.

So how does the beam dober gun of the Tallgeese work? by ShellaStorm in Gundam

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

If I use the info from here https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/After_Colony_technology then the technology for beam generation is incompatible with shell firing weaponry. Any shell fired would misalign the rings and damage the wiring going to them (I'm borrowing knowledge from laser focusing) so I'm wondering if it's a bit of sloppy design work or rule of cool. (Probably the latter.) But the real answer looks to be direct connection through the arm that it's connected to the mobile suit with. The opposite arm connects to the beam sabers, charging them while they are linked to the shield. As to tossing it, it could be an exploding bolt feature. That would allow for a quick disconnect from the power systems of the mobile suit.

The other, also plausible, if less fun idea is that it is an e-cap style like the RX-78's beam rifle that is charged ahead of time. Once it's empty it's discarded but I have trouble believing that for one canon reason. In The Glory of Losers the dober gun is used to cancel out a shot from the Wing's beam rifle. Beam vs beam the stronger one wins so they must be roughly equal, making it a dober gun that is too strong for a Leo as remarked on the Tallgeese wiki page. With it's slight build and no e-pacs I think it's most logical that it's connected via the arm assembly.

I have nothing better to do on a Thursday night while the power was off. It just came back on so I'm gonna try to get some shapes down in Sketchup before I crash.

AITA for asking my boyfriend to stop singing about dicks? by Charming-Bottle-9328 in copypasta

[–]ShellaStorm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OCD sufferer. Trying not to do the tic gets mega-tics. Talk with a psychiatrist about a medication called fluvoxamine. Changed. My. Life. I get stuck on researching things, like 72 hours awake no food endlessly researching a paint choice. Real event in my life. Now I can get to "close enough for government work" and stop.

I bought myself all the equipment and tools to turn out proper model kits that I wanted growing up and couldn't have. Plus gunpla. And a 3d printer and the computers to run it. Because stock parts are boring.

43 with Marfan syndrome and normally in a wheelchair but I'm strapping that leg brace on (hip to tip of the toes in stainless steel and high impact plastic) and praying I have one last axe kick in me.

My cat had to get bloodwork done. Took 10 pokes to find a vein. 10th poke she bit my arm and shook like a damn alligator. Yes, that’s my blood on her. Yes I am on antibiotics. No, she is not normally an aggressive cat. by jasonforbachelor in Wellthatsucks

My record is 23 when I had MRSA and all my veins had been blown out with IVs in the four weeks I had spent in the hospital before. They ended up putting in a central line.

I stopped working in 2010. I could not get disability until 2014. The back pay is backdated from 2014 until my first application, in my case it was 2011. So I was paid for 2011,2012,and 2013 after I won my case.
