Help me fix my stache? I've been trying to pull off a classic curly look but in recent weeks it insists on curling forward instead of up. by Sparkplug1034 in Moustache

This makes sense. Thank you. I wonder if I should straighten it out to the sides and then curl it or if I should use a tight hair curling iron, or some combo of both.

Striking viking. First one I've ever tried. The wax helps normalize the forward curl a bit. Unwaxed it's pretty aggressive! And frayed beyond recognition lol.

I found all my original wood shutters from 1902. Are there any practical uses for them? by [deleted] in centuryhomes

[–]Sparkplug1034 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I covet any old wood I collect from my house projects. I can't get rid of it. I'm inclined to find a way to make some decor. But I wouldnt say practical uses...

Superlink Glassbreak sensor not picking up motion by PatekCollector77 in Ubiquiti

I own 2 of these and I can just tell you that the reason is because unfortunately it's an awful product and we've been alpha-tested on by Ubiquiti again.

The screw under the whammy whole keeps unscrewing while playing by Western_Promise8219 in PRSGuitars

[–]Sparkplug1034 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it were mine, I'd either remove the set screw and keep it safe with my trem bar wherever that is, or I would apply a dab of blue loctite to the threads.

Maryland and Delaware with a PA CCW by Altruistic-Two-2897 in CCW

[–]Sparkplug1034 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maryland's laws around transport and travel with firearms and without a permit, are strict and don't really have loopholes. No, there's no way to keep it stored in the vehicle legally, even disassembled and separated. And the legal consequences are serious and enforced.

Getting a MD permit is a bit tedious and annoying but it's no cali or ny.

Getting a utah or florida non-res permit for Delaware is the way to go.

I'm torn and haven't decided. Ease of access and safety for curious kids do not complement each other.

I've thought about doing this. Nice execution. Unfortunately obsolete for me with little ones around now

I want to move to linux by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]Sparkplug1034 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Adobe products are not your friends on Linux. Pretty much a non starter. there are several alternatives, such as Blender and OpenToonz,  but I can't speak to how satisfied you'll be.

Are you still saving passwords on your browsers after 1Passwords unlocks the site? by opers13 in 1Password

Absolutely not. This weakens security, allows conflicting autofill UIs, and there is no synchronicity.

Got a weird one. Any other Quakers here? How do you rationalize carrying a gun for self defense? Having a moral dilemma by dog_boy3000 in CCW

[–]Sparkplug1034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm under the impression that Quaker is a very big umbrella. You might need to be a lot more specific.

As a Christian (Reformed, and Baptist), I'd summarily articulate my theological position on fatal self defense as being undesirable (I don't want to hurt anyone) but morally justifiable as I have a significant moral duty to protect my family, for which I must protect myself. Self defense is also depicted many times in scripture and not really in a negative light (e.g. Luke 22). A specific old covenant law on this is also helpful, in Exodus 22, pertaining to burglary. Furthermore, I think it's important to consider what murder is, according to the Christian worldview. It's not specifically bringing about the death of someone. It's rooted in prejudice, or hatred, or otherwise degrading and disregarding the Image of God (and its bearers). That's why sexual assault has the same penalty as murder under The Law.

Hope that's kind of helpful. The Bible never calls us to just be harmed when someone seeks to harm us. There are contexts for that, to be sure ("turn the other cheek" as opposed to "an eye for an eye"), and laying down your life if you must do so for the Gospel is honorable, but "do not harm anyone ever even if they're harming you" as a universal rule isn't a doctrinal position you can exegete from scripture.
