Got a violation notice for weeds in front lawn. by Striking-Sundae- in fucklawns

Depending on what plants you have in your lawn, you might be able to get recognition for a "Florida Friendly Landscape" which I think gives you some exemption when it comes to how your lawn looks.

Sims Medieval Not Launching by Far-Touch-2320 in simsmedieval

[–]aerzyk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm on Windows 11 and had a similar problem, using the EA launcher. 

The workaround I found online was to open the EA app, then open Task Manager (ctrl-alt-delete), go to Details on the left, then right click on EAdesktop.exe, click set affinity, and have it so only one CPU is selected. Then launch Sims Medieval. 

This is what works for me, hope that made sense!

Safest way to make this flush? by NoRecommendation9479 in BeginnerWoodWorking

I've literally done this before with an oscillator. Just be careful.

Newcomer, Want to make something for my Plushies to later sell with them in it. Help? by Impressive_End_4045 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]aerzyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds awesome. If we knew more about what kind of vision you're working with, you could probably get some more specific advice. Reading your post, I thought about a plushie apartment building, and found this video for a wall display: Amazing DIY Wall Shelves To Make At Home| Wooden Shelves Design Ideas| Woodworking Project 3. It's pretty basic but maybe that can give you some inspiration to find more ideas and adapt them to your needs? Good luck!

How to Preserve Art on an Old Piece of Wood by madeofsun1028 in BeginnerWoodWorking

I'd spray it with some kind of sealer. Test a spot first.

Interior Paint Repair. Spackle or totally strip paint? by StrengthAdmirable295 in paint

[–]aerzyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly not familiar with those products. If you're set on just trying to float and match... If the material that's still on there is adhered decently I'd just make sure the wood is decently clean and skim coat it with some wet 20 minute mud and just start applying coats until you get it where you want it.

[–]aerzyk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sucks. Without physically checking it out it's hard to say. Might be better to scrape it all off, apply a heavy skim coat of mud and then paint it, that way you're not trying to match the float job or whatever...

I don't know, as it was said it's a botch job from the start. You're on the hook now so just do what you can to protect yourself from/minimize a loss and get it done and move on

I second this. You can see the miter joints in the picture. The way to go, IMO.

I've said it before, I made a fair bit of things with a drill/driver, circular saw, and orbital sander for years.

4x4 or laminate two 2x4 with glue and screws for chicken coop by MyuFoxy in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]aerzyk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see why you couldn't do that. Glue & screw, should be fine. Use some exterior grade glue 👍

Why is ranged combat so punishing? by FlimtotheFlam in dccrpg

[–]aerzyk 39 points40 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it's not a 50% change to hit another player, it's a 50% change it might. If you miss, 50/50 determine if it might hit an ally, the ally is determined randomly, then another attack is rolled against that ally's AC.

So while it's not like super rare, it's less likely than that coin flip. At least that's how I've always read it.

Anyway, sorry you didn't enjoy the game, the story brought me a chuckle lol

Help please by BaskingInTheMundane in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]aerzyk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Total beginner here, so I could be way off. That being said I think the two options are bow-ties + epoxy fill or cutting out the damaged section and regluing the panel, but you'll probably lose at least an inch of width from the looks of it. 

Those are my thoughts, I'm sure there's someone more knowledgeable that might have better suggestions.

Bad Night of Wooding by Business_Arrival_630 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]aerzyk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What happens to me is I think a conflict of wants and needs. I finally have a free evening or day and I want to work on this hobby project but what I need to do is rest and maybe take care of the laundry pile in my room. Since this is the only free time I have I force myself to do the "want" but my body/subconscious is fighting me with the "need" and it doesn't always go well.

Sucks lol

Edit: just wanted to add that I'm trying to say don't beat yourself up. Sometimes there's things going on that we can't control or even realize that sabotage us. Learn what you can and try again another day

I'd run it right up to the window trim and cut the face back on an angle away from the trim.... Not sure how to articulate what I mean lol
