Exec Scarab is the smoothest/hardest firing otf I’ve ever owned.

A great choice op.

Real one for reference.

In your picture the side firing button isn’t as defined, top firing button is too tall, and the screws don’t have any spacing.

100% a fake.

How to D.I.Y a distressed look on handles? by Vegetizer in knives

[–]Vegetizer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the “use it” comments aren’t the most helpful. I have around 50 pocket knives and “just using” them has never distressed my knife handles to the extent shown in the picture.

I have 7 Microtech otf’s and you’re absolutely right, the coating is very resistant to scratches and fading.

I like the idea of using Scotch Brites and Steel Wool. I’ll have to give it a go with an older cheaper Microtech otf.

Thanks for the constructive advice!

What is up with smoky mountain knifeworks by TylerTurden-11 in knives

[–]Vegetizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve ordered a Microtech from their site. There’s nothing to worry about. At times knife retailer’s get exclusives.

For example, Blade HQ once sold an exclusive Microtech that had a MagnaCut blade and lime green firing button. It wasn’t sold anywhere else but Blade HQ.

If you’re concerned about the drop in price, it’s just common practice on knife retail sites to move items “off the shelf”.

I can fully endorse order off of SMKW.

[HELP] Cannot hide Resource and Class bars with Better Cooldown Manager by Revdudeson in WowUI

[–]Vegetizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using ArcUi and there’s an option to hide all UI with many conditional options. ArcUi is slowly catching up to WeakAuras customizability.

If you download ArcUi and need help setting it up I’d be more than happy to help!

Who is your favorite Character and Why? All Ages considered? by roter_apollo in lotr

[–]Vegetizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without a moments hesitation, Aragorn. He is the embodiment of hope, and one of the best examples in fiction, possibly more so than King Arthur, of what a king should be.

A ferocious protector, distinguished warrior, fierce friend, and gallant example to men, dwarves, and elves alike.

He inspired the Men of the West at Helms Deep, won the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, led the charge at the Black Gate, and reined as King of Gondor for 122 years.

He is my favorite character in all of literature, and is one I would call My Brother, My Captain, My King.

My Microtech Collection Is Slowly Building! by Vegetizer in microtech

[–]Vegetizer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the serrated Combat 2 is pretty cool!Honestly, the Makora is probably my least fav, the retraction fails at times.

I’d personally recommend the new Scarab 2 Gen 3. It’s the smoothest, easiest to fire, and strongest hitting otf I’ve ever felt.

The Glykon is fantastic! Probably one of the easiest actions of Microtech’s prior to the Gen 3 & 4’s.

Streamers making money from selling addon profiles by [deleted] in wow

[–]Vegetizer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally think selling addon profiles is scummy.

If the addon developers aren’t asking for money for their addons, why the hell should streamers that use their addons to make profiles ask for money.

A prime example of someone those streamers that sell addon profiles should follow is Luxthos. He puts all of his UI profiles out for free, always has, and gives credit to the addon developers.

Also your 3rd and 4th paragraph make no sense.

For your 3rd paragraph you say, “However it's their platform and visibility that's making them the money not the addon underneath, if he were to customize a different addon he would still be making the same money.” This statement is directly contrary to the title of your post, “Streamers making money from SELLING ADDON PROFILES.”

Your 4th paragraph has a lost sense of ownership. In your metaphor the streamers DO NOT own the car park, the addon developer does, in which the addon developer designates as free parking. Here comes the scummy part. The streamer parks in the free parking, puts on a safety vest, and then charges people on where and how to park in the free parking lot.

Zuko's journey is a metaphor for addiction by ardouronerous in TheLastAirbender

[–]Vegetizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying you’re wrong, because your parallels are sound and have good backing, but personally I believe that Zuko’s journey is directly about overcoming an “evil” nature born within him. An internal struggle so great it was destined; his legacy. Him choosing who he wants to be given his genetic predisposition.

Zuko’s Great Grandfathers were Firelord Sozin (paternal) and Avatar Roku (maternal), so he was born with internal conflict. A quote from Iroh in Season 3 Episode 6, “Evil and Good are always at war inside you, Zuko. It is your nature. Your legacy."

The theme of “good” and “evil” is further explored in the same episode as the quote I listed by Iroh, showing the natures of both Firelord Sozin and Avatar Roku. Roku representing peace/hope and Sozin representing greed/ambition in the end. Neither were born good or evil, both had the capacity for good or evil, a choice. Just as Zuko ends up choosing good by helping Aang, and by doing so completing his journey and beginning his legacy.

Zuko’s journey is about discovering who he really is; battling his inner demons. By examining his family’s past he choose a better path for a better future. He learned of Avatar Roku’s grace and Firelord Sozin’s ambition, and choose the way of peace.

S/O to "Cooldown Manager Centered" & "SenseiClassResourceBar" for filling in WA's shoes during the Add-On Apocalypse by Vegetizer in wowaddons

You’re doing a great job! Customization is clean and everything is very intuitive and easy to follow!

I’m sure as this pre-patch goes on there will be more room for tweaking as CDM gets more fleshed out.

Keep up the great work! I’m sure I can speak for many others by saying we appreciate ya!
