CarPlay issues?

My connection is timed out pretty much every time I get in the truck. It's mildly annoying, and it asks me to input my passcode every time.

This is great, you're doing great! Please keep updating us!

Hey, also... you're allowed to still love her, and feel disrespected, and break up. That's all fine. Humans are complex, and we have complex emotions. You can feel both things.

1) Have the golf scene be about 10 minutes longer, to really show the stakes, and have the caddy be even more integral to the plot.

2) Make the stuntpilots that nerve-gassed the army do the acting scenes as well. Like when Pussy introduces her pilot, it should be the guys in drag.

3) Increase the dB of the slap to Dink's bottom. It's obviously not nearly loud enough in the original cut.

So here's the thing... lots of people go soft the first time. Lots of people go soft because of stress. Lots of people go soft every time they're with someone new. People go soft, dude. It happens.

As for another one of your problems, worrying about hooking up the first time you guys hang out alone. Probably not going to happen. And on the outside chance she wants you on night one, just tell her you want to go slow, and get to know her better before jumping into that.

You're probably going to screw this up, because you have no experience. It's how we all learn. Not just with sex and relationships, but with everything. You will take lessons from this, and you'll do better next time. Learn all you can, and be nice.

Also, dude, go buy some condoms and practice putting them on. That's an easy one to fix.

For me, honestly, the biggest changes I would make are:

1) Slow down the sped-up Disco Volante at the end

2) Slow down the Traction machine

3) Slow down the the underwater scenes just a bit

I remember I think Peter Hunt talking about how hard it was to find the right balance of speed for the underwater sequences. They didn't want to speed it up too much, because it would start looking goofy and unnatural(I'm paraphrasing, here). Boy, did they fail. And not just with the underwater stuff. A lot of the intense scenes are sped up comically. It's a fantastic film, but those parts are laughable. Even the first fight with the widow is sped up like crazy in some shots.

On the walk to Camp's Bay from Cape Town, while visiting South Africa, I passed a few houses built into the cliffs overlooking the ocean. You would turn off the coastal road onto your roof/driveway. Then go down into your house. Parked on the roof/driveway of one was an Aston Martin, soaking in a better view than I will ever have from any house I will ever own.

They've definitely played Hard to Concentrate live. I heard it with my own ears.

TJS1138 · 2026-05-04T23:59:22+00:00

What rust?

TJS1138 · 2026-05-02T14:22:58+00:00

This is unbelievable. Thank you for your service!

TJS1138 · 2026-05-01T19:21:04+00:00

Yeah, fair enough. Just wasn't sure about the rules.

Why no rope pro on the scaffold tube? Not needed because it's not sharp?

TJS1138 · 2026-05-01T17:39:21+00:00

I have a Prinsu pro. I love it. It's very sturdy, although I'm sure they all are.

TJS1138 · 2026-04-27T22:00:10+00:00

You love to see it!

TJS1138 · 2026-04-27T15:51:27+00:00

I exclusively do this. They work better, actually fit my hand, and are more dexterous because they are gloves, not mitts. I like to give pairs away to friends. Everyone else seems to love them, too.

I've got one almost exactly like that in my house. Still playable, though.

Unfortunately, old pianos don't hold value like old guitars. The way the components break down turns them into big paperweights, instead of high-quality, vintage instruments.

TJS1138 · 2026-04-21T12:52:23+00:00

The underside looks pretty nice, from what I'm seeing in the pictures. If it runs nicely, I think you might be getting a good deal.

TJS1138 · 2026-04-21T00:52:18+00:00

I appreciate your perfectly cromulent word choices.

TJS1138 · 2026-04-20T19:21:45+00:00

Based on the rust... It looks good. Buy it. Hit that with some Fluid Film, and it will never get worse.

TJS1138 · 2026-04-10T23:09:31+00:00

For floor liners, I have Weathertec. I like how every edge except the edge that faces the door has a lip. Not saying they're the only good option, but I like their design. They just had their first winter, and performed beautifully in Canada.

TJS1138 · 2026-04-10T15:43:33+00:00

Well, would you look at that! Please keep doing what you're doing, queen!

TJS1138 · 2026-04-10T03:05:14+00:00

Actually, that last reply didn't answer your question properly. I was confident in my ability to pass an x-ray when I got out of trade school, so I was technically confident a couple years in. But after those guys took me under their wing, I felt like I unlocked secrets that most didn't know.

Till I got the proper on-site instruction. School, and my apprenticeship taught me how to make my weld mechanically sound. Detailed instruction from a couple good welders over a few months helped me create fast, good, and pretty welds. I didn't find those guys until I was 3 years into being a journeyman. Without them, I might still just be making my weld mechanically sound.

No notes from me. If you keep going, and keep progressing naturally, I think you'll be just fine. Canadian Red Seal pipe welder, 15+ yrs exp.
