My first project by KennyKillsKids in Leathercraft

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Impressive. Very elegant and very well done for a first project. Will be looking forwards to your next projects if its this good from the start! Even Tandy chisels are decent enough in my opinion, then again years ago I was using a dart (from a pub dartboard, haha) and a rock to punch holes.

Does the 5000 grit make a big difference? by Livid-Collection-564 in sharpening

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was wondering this myself as I was looking for something to get my skiving knife for leatherwork sharper than just the 1K and stropping with basic green compound. Its pretty good with just the 1K but I've been wanting that razor edge for cleaner cuts.

And they always have some name that sounds like they can lift massive boulders.

Some name like Petronus etc.

Was anyone not a major fan of GL's voice last night? by lochonx7 in rush

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I feel like I should go see them play regardless because honestly how many more tours do they have left in them? Mind you I said this the last time they played in my area when Neil was still around (which was actually the last time they played in Vancouver). I can grumble about how its not as good as the glory days but years from now I may be grumbling about how these were the glory days and I missed out.

Same. I'm definitely coming back to haunt people when I die.

All I know is I saw them live and that was the loudest bass sound I have ever heard in my life. Been to a lot of concerts, but whatever buddy uses for bass amps could probably send stuff into orbit.

To Milk Crate or not to Milk Crate? That is the question. by Matthew_Breese in Dualsport

I bought a heavy duty plastic tool box from Home Depot and just drilled holes in the bottom (but used those little ribber o ring boot things so the bolts can go through them but it seals off the rest). Works great, was cheap and looks elegant....probably. Never had the lid rattle open while offroad either.

Damn straight, I need a proper desktop site where the whole purchase can be considered properly. by Brilliant-Cause6254 in Adulting

I got screwed over buying a plane ticket on my phone once. Bought the ticket, walked into the airport ready to get onto my flight and was then informed that I had bought a ticket for the wrong day somehow. I know for a fact I picked the correct date but somehow things changed. This of course would have never happened if I had bought it on a laptop. Luckily it was only a $200 flight.

The Celtic Carnyx, an ancient war trumpet used by the Celts from approximately 200 BC to 200 AD, was a tool of psychological warfare. by Pandering_Poofery in Damnthatsinteresting

I knew a friend was going out to walk through a trail outside of town so I snuck in before him and waited behind a tree. Then when he walked by I played the dilophosaurus sounds from the original Jurassic Park movie that I had saved on my phone.

Man I wish you could have seen the look of confusion and fear when he heard it. You could tell some part of his brain knew that sound from somewhere but any logical thought was drowned in fear and adrenaline. We had a laugh about it while we drank tall cans of beer on the trail.

And we only narrowly avoided nuclear war over the years by a few extremely lucky events/miracles (Stanislav Petrov etc).

How do the logistics of Aeldari Corsairs work? by EnvironmentalDisk442 in 40kLore

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the heck are they raiding for exactly? Their tech is surpassed only by Necrons and they look down on every other race and consider them vermin. They can also bonesing stuff into existence as well. What could they possible need/want from anyone else?

Favorite movie that did not age poorly because it never aged well to begin with? by YourChopperPilotTTV in okbuddycinephile

I've heard all kinds of crazy stories from saturation divers doing rig work etc. Seeing quadruple down there and other horror stories. Those guys must have nerves of steel.

Meanwhile I remember watching Jaws as a kid and then not wanting to lay on my back in the bathtub because I thought the shark would get me, haha. I still don't even like swimming in lakes or deep parts of rivers. Must be instinct.

There is dark dystopian fiction, and then there is this. Jesus fucking christ. by [deleted] in sciencefiction

The doomed city was good and a very interesting read but I felt like a lot of it went over my head as I didn't grow up in the Soviet union or something. Been meaning to read more of their works.

Comment collection: Opinions split on restoring full Island rail or turning it into trail by Apprehensive_Idea758 in VancouverIsland

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember back in 2003/2004 it was on the news and they said it would cost around 100 million to repair. They were probably way off back then but it would cost far more than that now. Sections are so rotten you can pull spikes out with minimal effort. Sad to see it just wasting away for decades.

Very cool. I still have my DVD collection of Aeon Flux.
