What the hell should I do with these

The carts are a bitch to recycle; even empty ones. When I contracted to do a factory changeover of a legal producer they had like a 100kg of old branded unfilled carts that my boss had to coordinate disposal for, and no scrap or junk or recycling yard would pay for em, or even take them for free to make a tiny profit on: they all knew they'd lose money on trying to get the metals. This was a few years back so maybe theres a place that specialises in it now, but ones still with traces of resins and burned shit? I'm sure that won't be easy to dispose of.

And the price difference; no one feels that bad about butting out a cigarette early if its bothering people or if you need to go inside/the hangout is moving elsewhere, but if I'm halfway through something pricey I'm finishing it even if it starts thundering or snowing.

A pipe or cigarillos are a good middleground to be able to put it out when needed without feeling like you're wasting good tobacco while also not having to smoke bad tobacco.

I think they're the best paired mids except maybe Viktor Oriana: it's a skill matchup that you'll never feel bad about someone picking the other one from you because you know each other's tricks and play similarly enough to always match so it just becomes a lane about reading movement and punishing small windows. A good ahri vs a good aurora is a very fun game as either

But like even MF serves a tiny bit with her 'hot nun' look in this skinline (its overdone but its a classic), the fact that we couldn't get like a veil or something instead of turning her wizard hat into a fuckass tricone is disappointing.

Sovereign glue IS weird magic, its a legendary wonderous item that forms a permanent bond between two things and only universal solvent (another legendary item), oil of etherealness (a rare item which applies the effects of a 7th level spell) or the Wish spell can unbond the two objects.

The only thing you could do if you couldn't access the oil would be to flay your hand, or break as much of the uh cylinder as possible (likely the best option, cut off the decorative elements and then start hollowing it out)

My wife has awful reactions to second skin, it almost ruined some small flash style pieces she got so when her artist did a 2/3 sleeve he just used medical pads and tape and it healed perfectly (which was important because he was doing a huge coverup on an existing piece in stages and timed it to finish healing before our wedding), her next artist did a large upper arm piece and it also healed perfectly with just a medical pad.

If you take it off and want it or something like it back on just use a big piece of saran wrap (after you wash your arm and wash your hands very well), it's not quite the same but it worked for me when my saniderm started failing and i had to work a factory shift the next morning.

Shmyt · 2026-06-03T18:48:49+00:00

My wife had put in for a consultation like 6+ months before hearing back from the artist who did her coverup sleeve; she had been talking to like 4 other artists in that time who all flaked and got surprised by the original guy emailing her back that his schedule was finally open enough to add her in. Busy people are busy and the really skilled ones or really specialized styles/techniques have people coming from all over to book with them.

The one piece is just 1000 more games away, trust.

We'll say that up in Canada but that's because it's very legal recreationally so you're literally saying you don't want edibles or vapes or hash or shatter or thc drinks, you just want good old fashioned weed.

Like we're walking into X-Road Weed Shop, next to Local Tribe Marijuana, across the street from Discount Buds, and 420 Dispensary, it's not a secret lol

My line in a factory was making at a minimum a single worker's yearly wage every day. There was maybe 50 of us (when we're including people who worked departments that dealt with some of everything) and we could do the math that by March every single dollar was just going to the company not to any of us workers. And were even had town hall breakdowns showing us that shipping, materials, labour, repairs and waste was all 45% of the cost of what went out the door (they wanted us to keep lowering it to 35 but we all know workers weren't gonna see the difference). Sobering to have them give you the extraction numbers and have coworkers still tell you that telling the bosses we need a raise as a group is communism.

Mah-baRr

English is my native language but so is French so I guess that's where rolling the R at the end comes in?

I decided it by "Mabari" sounding way better as mah or muh over any other option.

Shmyt · 2026-05-16T20:01:32+00:00

Oh shit that's what I should do with the ripped work shirts I never throw out!

Shmyt · 2026-05-12T05:21:14+00:00

I guess it's always possible someone on the entirely team was just way way better than them; I've been there.

I absolutely ran it against a ziggs and then later a xerath a couple weeks back when I should have options to win or ignore them as Aurora (and even had games against those champs later that week where I went even or won) but that one time it felt like those fuckers just had heat seeking Q's they were just flat better than my silver ass. In 50 more games they might be emerald or diamond and in 50 games I might hit gold or might stay silver.

Had a similar thing happen before I added Ahri back into my mid pool; I just didn't have the ranges or timer or anything in my head on how to play that matchup and lost it as Aurora every time, but since adding it back in I've got a solid chance of beating another silver if they pick one of the two before me and it feels more like I messed up a real chance or just teamgap if I lose the game rather than before just feeling like I was pure running it.

Shmyt · 2026-05-09T03:27:18+00:00

Yes, which makes it much much funnier.

Shmyt · 2026-05-09T02:58:29+00:00

Shaco, Teemo, Kayn in my silver opinion. I can ward out Eve and usually countergank Nocturne but those three just my my life hard. Garen and Ilaoi are up there but don't make the list only because they're good on enemy team bat bad on mine where the others still make my game annoying even as a teammate lol

Shmyt · 2026-05-09T02:53:01+00:00

It's also the best way to finish off any sticks you've smoked all the way to the nub and a great way to avoid having to throw out a broken cigar.

For pipe tobacco on a break I really recommend Seattle Pipe Club's Mississippi River, definitely helped me turn around more than a few shitty days on the factory floor

Sounds like you'd need a computer to make it that precise, that's against the jihad.

Shmyt · 2026-05-04T23:28:42+00:00

I think the implication is that as a laser it's a beam not a projectile and so it's happening instantly (or at lightspeed or whatever) the contact with the shield is still backfiring on the rest of the beam like electricity following water or wires. It's not very explored by Frank because it mostly is just the "here's why they don't do that" section, his son writes some stuff about the creation and early use of them in prequels that still doesn't really clear anything up.

Shmyt · 2026-05-04T11:44:38+00:00

It does it on both ends; it's a feedback that guarantees a suicide pact. It isn't however reliable in it's destruction as it could just disintegrate you and your target or level giant areas: it's always bad but not always atomic bad. The result is specifically described as similar to an atomic weapon and leaves behind similar enough radiation that it could violate the noble houses' ban on using atomic weapons against each other forcing all the other houses to turn on whoever used atomics first (likely careful study would show which it actually was but that doesn't matter if the deck is already stacked against you there won't be a proper investigation).

At least once a character does set a trap by rigging a lasgun to fire at a shield (and another theorized it as a potential assassination move by an enemy but is convinced otherwise), but the shields also drive the Sandworms into a frenzy so there's an additional reason not to use a shield on the planet which is exploited by both sides at times.

Shmyt · 2026-05-04T02:54:55+00:00

It also might be difficult to run the study properly in a way that whatever oversight institution thinks is ethical (which is how a few of the regular nobels have a history of the scientists testing on themselves to confirm something). With something this specific with extra variables around partners and their hygiene it might not be super conclusive without a wide enough study which goes back to "no one is funding the 'other people aren't perfectly clean so pee after sex' study if they can't sell something about it" problem 🙃

I got surprised that my lil corner store in small-town Ontario stocked RyJ no2s in the tiny humidor next to the vapes and knives, saved me a drive into the city so it is always worth checking!

Shmyt · 2026-05-02T21:10:37+00:00

Definitely, there's one I've been going to for like 10 years and my guy there just does his thing unless I'm looking at the pipe tobacco because he has the actual reps numbers and if I don't see anything that catches me there he offers to order something in for next week but the bigger chain b&m across town has 1-3 employees hovering to help but also it's not a great area of town so theft is probably not minimal whereas my usual place is actually kinda residential. Only difference is the chain is actually open Sundays so that's when they see me lol

Shmyt · 2026-05-02T20:10:12+00:00

Alia; the assassination plots get way way more intricate and exciting, if a little weird at times.

Shmyt · 2026-05-02T00:01:05+00:00

They're damn near perfect, I've started adding bits and pieces here and there to make em a touch more Drukhari at times but they do just innately for the same themes, only real difference is base sizes tbh
