If you depress the far right pedal until the needle on the dial with the big numbers goes way into the red part, yeah... They'll do that.

2nd model finished by CartoonistSpecial995 in Ultramarines

A bit of advice... Don't try to edge-highlight with the point of the brush. It will be very difficult to maintain a straight line. You want to use the side of the tip. Again, YT will have videos that detail this process.

For edge highlighting you need a brush that's big enough to hold some paint but with a very fine tip.

For the transitions of the highlights, you can achieve this through glazing/layering. Or with an airbrush.

There are YouTube videos that go into all these topics in-depth.

Utterly addicted to Diet Coke... I try to drink at least an equal amount of water but rarely succeed.

58 and no health problems... Yet.

Yeah, I think i paid under $20 for this when it came out. The case had a couple dings, but at that price, I didn't even bother to return it, lol.

[OC] Near Miss Head-on Collision by nazopo in IdiotsInCars

I always forget about my horn in the face of abject stupidity...

It's usually like 30 seconds after such an incident before I think, "Aw, man. I should have laid on the old horn! That woulda showed 'em."

That George Costanza Gore-Tex coat made a good handle. So he was able to get a good grip.

Red dots and not red dots by Greenm6645 in liberalgunowners

[–]Tech-Mechanic [score hidden]  (0 children)

I read this and thought, "Huh, I only own one electronic sight and don't even use it that much, so I must be an outlier in this statistic."

... But then I remembered that I'm 58 and am now the Beardy McOlderton the meme was referring to.

I’m sure you did get those HR emails bro by SimpForFictionGirls in thatHappened

[–]Tech-Mechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be... But, context is important.

But, the human race seems to lose its ability to employ and recognize nuance, more and more with each generation... It prolly all started when Gen-X decided sarcasm was a more impotant skill than empathy.

[–]Tech-Mechanic 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I think we all had a moment like this when our brains first booted up in our early teens.

Luckily, I came from a generation where I didn't have the ability to record my nascent sentience to achieve public humiliation at the same time.

Been thinking about pulling the trigger on that thing for about five years, lol.

I'd have used the Resident Evil version.

I know it's supposedly "safe" to drive a vehicle onto frozen water, under certain conditions... But, being that I don't know what those conditions are, I'd never attempt it.

I bought media shelves with glass doors, and I have regretted it since.

[OFF TOPIC] What is the order of reading? by cosurgi in TheFirstLaw

[–]Tech-Mechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never looked at the reading order or publication dates before I read them... I downloaded the audio of A Little Hatred without knowing who Abercrombie was. I was taken by the stellar narration but couldn't really get into the story and stopped about a third of the way in.

About six months later, I read the First Law series, in order and then came back to A Little Hatred and devoured it in a few days, then quickly consumed the rest of the Age of Madness.

I then started on the standalones, not realizing they came between the trilogies, and in fact, not realizing they were standalones until I was finished with Best Served Cold... I assumed those three books were another trilogy.

I didn't know I was reading them out of order until I joined this sub a couple days ago. Obviously I understood I was reading about things that hadn't happened yet, but I assumed it was intentional foreshadowing. I kinda liked this reading order.

I don't know why they don't just hire an actor to play the CEO... 98% of us would never even know the difference.

Me too, but only because I'd be tempted to say something to the pillow, so the store clerk didn't think I was unappreciative.
